Create Your Go-To Collection of Basics

A major factor in my morning outfit woes was that I hadn't invested in proper basics. Without the right foundational pieces, it was a struggle to build anything. Make sure you have quality tees, staple jeans, and classic flats—pieces you can always look good in. These will be your outfit saviors.

 Accessories Are Key

Never underestimate the power of an accessory. No matter how simple your outfit is, if you just throw a hat or trendy handbag on, it'll elevate your outfit instantly. Trust me. It'll make it look like you put more effort into your look than you actually did.

When in Doubt, Matching Sets Will Save You

 You don't know the power of a matching set till I added a few to my closet. There's no thinking involved, and whether you add accessories or go without them, it'll look good.

Pay Attention to Fit

If your clothes don't fit you properly, you'll always feel a little off. There have been times when I felt like I could ignore ill-fitting trousers or jeans, but it's not possible. The more tailored to you an item is, the more put together you'll look.

Don't Be Afraid of Simplicity

Once I started accepting that sometimes it's okay for a look to be simple and that there's beauty in minimalism, it got a lot easier for me to get dressed in the morning.
