What To Wear When You Don’t Know What To Wear

I’m a planner, so most days I’ve already mentally or physically selected and laid out my clothes for the next day — no matter what I’m doing. This saves me time in the morning and also ensures I feel comfortable and prepared no matter what the morning (or more accurately, my kids) throw at me. The key to this being successful is by checking the weather forecast the night before!

During the holidays, I’ve definitely felt more in a rut clothes-wise, as my days haven’t been as scheduled as usual. I’ve relied on basics and neutrals to help carry me through days and nights that have been a mixed bag of social events and home, and I’ve really felt the value of quality pieces that blend comfort and tailoring. My go-to outfit when I don’t know what to wear is always a failsafe cotton skirt with some form of tank or tee, usually a mix of beige and white. I’ll add a more statement shoe (a chunky slide or a cool sneaker) along with gold jewellery to elevate the look slightly. I also really rate a shirt dress (midi, maxi, or mini!) for this scenario, as well as a matching two-piece set.

It’s all about easy and wearable pieces that don’t require too much thinking or fuss. Effortless, but with a slight edge that still looks modern. Heres what to wear when you don’t know what to wear.
