The Easy Everyday Outfit: Five Pieces That Just Work
Some outfits take effort. This one doesn't, and that's the point. Put together a good overshirt, loose denim, clean white sneakers and a solid pair of sunglasses, and you have a look that works for coffee runs, weekend errands, a casual office day or a trip. Add a chore coat when the temperature drops, and you're set well into fall.
Here's how it comes together, piece by piece.
1. The foundation: white low-top sneakers

White sneakers show up in almost every casual wardrobe for good reason. They go with denim, chinos and shorts, and they make everything else look a little sharper. This ZGR pair keeps it simple: a low-top lace-up in synthetic leather that wipes clean easily, with a memory foam insole and a non-slip outsole. It's built for real walking, not just looking good in photos.
Styling tip: keep them clean. A quick wipe after wearing keeps white sneakers looking crisp, and crisp is the whole appeal.Add a memorable quote.
2. The layer that does everything: a button-up shirt jacket

The shirt jacket, or "shacket," sits between a shirt and a jacket. You can button it up on its own or wear it open over a plain tee. The flap chest pockets give it a utility feel that suits wide-leg denim. It's the piece that makes this outfit look planned instead of thrown together.
Styling tip: wear it open over a white or grey crew-neck tee, with the sleeves rolled once or twice.
3. The silhouette: wide-leg baggy jeans

Relaxed, wide-leg denim is back, borrowing from late-'90s and early-2000s streetwear. This pair has a loose, straight-leg fit and a classic five-pocket build. The roomier cut balances a boxy shirt jacket nicely, and it sits well over chunky or low-profile sneakers.
Styling tip: let the hem stack slightly on top of the sneakers, or give it a single cuff if you want to show off the shoes.
4. The finishing touch: classic rectangular sunglasses

Sunglasses are what turn a casual outfit into a look. A rectangular frame is one of the most versatile shapes around, and it flatters most face shapes without drawing too much attention. The Brooks Brothers name brings heritage-brand polish that lifts the rest of the outfit. The universal fit is designed to sit comfortably on a wide range of faces.
Styling tip: a classic frame lets the relaxed clothing stay relaxed without looking sloppy.
5. For cooler days: the utility chore coat

When fall arrives, swap the shirt jacket for a chore coat, or layer it over the top. Chore coats started as workwear, and it shows in the sturdy build and practical pockets. Chef Works makes workwear for professional kitchens, so this one is made to hold up. Over a tee and wide-leg jeans, it gives the outfit a workwear-inspired look that's become a menswear staple.
Styling tip: keep the colors neutral underneath so the coat stands out.
