Just pick one of the outfit formulas below for a no-fail outfit combo!
10 No-Fail Outfit Formulas
1. White button-down + jeans
This outfit is a no-fail go-to that will never steer you wrong. With little tweaks, it makes a great day to night look. Basically, it's just easy to customize depending on your needs and lifestyle! These leopard print heels make it less professional and more playful! If you want to switch it up a bit you can always tie the front of the shirt for something a little different.

2. Denim + denim
I'm all about that Canadian tuxedo. Say what you want about it, but it's a classic look and therefore a no-fail outfit! You can wear it as is or use it as a foundation for layering and adding prints to it. I'm always in favor of leopard print, but stripes would be a good choice too.

3. Chambray + white
A white blazer classes up this denim look and adds some interest as well as a touch of elevation. The color palette is still neutral and classic, keeping this outfit a no-brainer!

4. Chambray + black
If a full-on blue denim look isn't your thing, then this is the look for you. The contrast in this look is great and a nice starting point for adding layers or prints. Plus, you won't have to stress wondering if your denim washes match or not!

9. Blazer + jeans
Blazers are one of my all-time favorite clothing items because they are so easy to throw on over anything. And though they're easy to wear, they instantly transform any look.
10. Just add a scarf
It's simple, really! Just add a scarf to any of the outfits already shown as a great no-fail outfit formula. This is a great styling hack too because scarves are pretty inexpensive and make a nice accessory.
Don't you just love to have some outfit formulas to be your go-to that you know will look good and don't take much thought? I know I do! It sure does make life easier.

Love this post! I may or may not have pinned almost every outfit to my pinterest board.lol
Glad I could help!
My go to outfit for work used to be navy blazer, navy pants and three different blouses - a white one, navy and white striped one and a floral containing navy and white. In winter layers can be added and shoes become boots. It all started years ago when my then place of work had a navy, white and maroon polo shirt as uniform.
That's nice you found a look that can work for different seasons. I think it makes getting dressed so much easier when you have a uniform!
I love it! ?
