10 Excellent Outfits I Plan on Re-Creating This Spring
It's safe to say that we all need to fall back in love with our clothes again. Don't get me wrong; I've loved lounging around in chic knitted sets, but now, at the start of 2021, I'm making a point of relishing in the art of getting ready once more. However, after months of relying on the same staples day-in, day-out, if you feel somewhat uninspired when you throw open your wardrobe doors, rest assured you're not alone. I've also felt pangs of uncertainty when I pull out long-forgotten pieces from the depths of my rails.
Instead of letting these feelings overwhelm me back into my leggings, I decided to take to Instagram to indulge in a little scrolling. Any outfit that caught my eye, I saved in my collections. Revisiting them a couple of days later, there were a few looks—10 specifically—that caught my eye. The best part being, aside from a couple of new-season investments, many of the pieces I need to re-create them are already somewhere in my wardrobe just waiting to be rediscovered.
Scroll below to see the 2021 outfit ideas I love, then shop the pieces you need to fill any gaps you may have in your closets.
