5 Outfit Formulas for Those “I Have Nothing to Wear” Days
We all have those mornings when the wardrobe is full but nothing feels quite right.
The easiest way to make getting dressed simpler is to have a few outfit combinations you know you can fall back on.
Instead of starting from scratch every time, you can use the same basic formula and change the colours, layers and accessories depending on the day.
Here are five easy outfit ideas to come back to when you are not sure what to wear.
1. Oversized Tee + Denim + Everyday Jewellery
This combination is simple for a reason.
Start with a relaxed oversized tee, add your favourite denim and finish with a necklace, hoops or studs.
Keep it casual with sneakers, or add a knit or jacket if you need another layer.
Find an easy starting point in our women's clothing collection.
2. Knit + Relaxed Pants + Simple Accessories
For cooler days, pair a soft knit with relaxed or wide leg pants.
This works especially well in neutral shades and is comfortable enough for everyday wear without feeling too casual.
Add a simple necklace, hoops or a claw clip if you want a little extra detail.
3. Simple Dress + Jacket + Boots
A dress can make getting dressed much easier because most of the outfit is already sorted.
Add a jacket and boots through the cooler months, then switch to lighter shoes when the weather warms up.
Browse our dresses for easy everyday options.
4. Basic Top + Printed or Textured Bottom
If you are wearing a skirt, patterned pants or something with more detail, keep the top simple.
A plain tee, tank or understated top gives the rest of the outfit room to stand out.
Finish with simple jewellery if the outfit still feels like it needs something.

5. Denim + Knit + Jacket
When in doubt, layer a few basics together.
Denim, a knit and an easy jacket is a reliable combination, especially through a New Zealand winter.
You can change the proportions depending on what you like, such as relaxed denim with a shorter knit or a bigger jacket over a fitted layer.
The Finishing Touch
Once you have found an outfit combination that works, small changes can make it feel different the next time you wear it.
Swap your jewellery, add a scarf, change your shoes or pull your hair back with a claw clip.
You do not always need a completely different outfit. Sometimes a small change is enough.

Make Getting Dressed Easier
Personal style does not mean wearing something completely different every day.
Some of the easiest wardrobes are built around a few combinations that work well and can be repeated in different ways.
Find the outfits you feel good in, choose pieces that work with more than one look and wear your favourites as often as you like.
Getting dressed does not need to be the hard part of your day.
