Let’s face it – some days, the thought of putting together an elaborate outfit feels like an extreme sport. Just because you’re opting for comfort doesn’t mean you have to sacrifice style. Enter lazy dressing—a chic way to embrace a laid-back, comfortable look.
How to switch up your style with lazy dressing
Invest in quality basics
The foundation of lazy dressing lies in your basics.
Shop for high-quality pieces that fit well and feel good. Think soft cotton t-shirts and sleek, fitted tank tops. A well-fitted white t-shirt or a classic cardigan can elevate your look instantly.
Choose neutral colours or subtle patterns that can be mixed and matched easily. This way, you can create various outfits without much thought—perfect for those lazy days.
Throw out the frump
The change in season brings a wardrobe transformation. Keep this transformation simple yet elevated. Throw out the frumpy sweatpants for chic loungewear. Getting dressed should not be a job, its fun and creative so play around with your basics to leave the house in style.

Layer with style
When you think of layering, you might think of deep winter fashion but layering is your secret weapon for any season, and especially when it comes to lazy dressing.
A stylish cardigan, denim jacket, or oversized blazer can instantly upgrade a simple outfit. Not only does this add dimension to your look, but it also gives you the flexibility to adapt to changing temperatures throughout the day. Choose layers that are comfortable yet chic—think soft knits or structured outerwear that adds a polished finish.
Style tip: Layering is possible with as little as 2 items. Look for a sophisticated, loosely fitted shirt and pants set as a base. This is the easiest lazy dressing hack. The set is effortless while looking put together.
Choose your dressy piece
When facing your wardrobe in the morning, always have a base of one ‘dressed up’ piece. For example, If you’re going for a simple look with denim jeans, a fitted tank top and a cardigan – pair it with a small healed mule or pointed shoe.

Don’t underestimate accessories
Accessories are the magic touch that can transform a basic outfit into something special. A statement necklace, a chic scarf, or even a stylish hat can make all the difference. Opt for minimal yet striking pieces that enhance your look without overwhelming it.
A crossbody bag or sleek sneakers can also add functionality while keeping your outfit stylish. Remember, the right accessories can elevate any lazy outfit from drab to fab.
