If there ever was an outfit that straddled the line between cool and comfortable, it'd be this one: a chambray denim shirt and matching wide-leg jeans [1] with the same socks you wore to bed and a pair of Vans [2]. I mean, you might as well be wearing sweatpants. At least, it'd feel that way. But throw on some statement earrings and add a pop of colour with your bucket bag, and you're suddenly camera ready. How does that work? Well, it takes a bit of styling prowess. You should go for a top in the exact same wash as your bottom, and make sure you wear your jacket loose instead of tucked in — that'll help you give off those laid-back vibes. I suggest trying out Aritzia's new Denim Forum line [3] to get you started, and accessorise as you see fit.
