You throw open the closet, stare at all the clothes hanging in your wardrobe, and sigh in frustration because you don’t know what to wear.
Sound familiar? Maybe I just described your Wednesday morning haha!
Not knowing what to wear isn’t necessarily a lack of clothes problem, but a mind obstacle problem! You just need to get the creative juices flowing and be reminded of some of the great classics you have hiding in your wardrobe!
Here are some perfect fallback outfit ideas for when you don’t know what to wear!
6 Easy Outfit Ideas For When You Don’t Know What to Wear
1. t-shirt + jeans
This outfit makes the perfect base for layering and switching pieces out. Pretty much any footwear goes with this, whether you want loafers, sneakers, ankle boots, or flats! Dress up or down depending on where you’re headed. Related: 4 Seriously Stylish Ways to Wear Denim

2. striped top + pants
Stripes are great on their own or as an excellent base for adding prints such as leopard, camo, & plaid. Or stripes pair great with solid colors and a camel scarf looks so chic! Related: 5 Ways to Mix Prints

Where would we be without our tried and true denim shirts? Denim on denim is a great go-to and there are tons of ways to make this look more interesting whether you want to add “spicy” shoes or an edgy jacket. Related: How to Wear Denim on Denim

4. sweater + midi skirt
This look is a nice break from jeans and I’m sure you already have a sweater and a skirt in your wardrobe! Sneakers and a backpack make this fun, casual, and cute, but you can style it however you want!
5. graphic tee + cardigan
Graphic tees add a great extra punch to your wardrobe and they’re amazing both dressed up or down! Adding a cardigan is another layer for interest and makes it extra snuggly. Related: 3 Knockout Graphic Tee Combos
6. gray tee + denim
This look is a personal favorite and go-to of mine. I love the way that a gold necklace looks with gray and it’s so easy to switch out the shoes for whatever mood I’m in! I tend to wear mules and sneakers the most with this look! Related: How to Elevate a Simple Tee & Jeans Outfit
