Wouldn’t it be great to have go-to outfits on the days when you just can’t even? To have a list of no-fail outfit combos that you know will look good no matter what? Knowing the classic combos to a no-fail outfit could be the difference between whether your day starts off frantic and stressed not knowing what to wear or smooth sailing because you already know the combos that look good! Just pick one of the outfit formulas below for a no-fail outfit combo!
10 No-Fail Outfit Formulas
1. White button down + jeans
If you want to switch it up a bit you can always tie the front of the shirt too for something a little different. This outfit makes a great day to night look. These leopard print heels make it less professional and more playful!

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!
3. Chambray + white
A white blazer classes up this look a little bit and adds some interest. 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.

July 29, 2019 at 9:43 pmMy 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.
