Ever stand in front of your jam-packed closet, staring at increasingly than unbearable suit options, and think: I have nothing to wear? Same. But perhaps the issue isn’t that you’re out of viable choices. You just need a fresh dose of outfit inspiration to help you see your wardrobe in a new way. That’s where Outfit Dump comes in. Every month, we supply you with unbearable ideas to fuel your style until the next waif comes along. This month, we’re looking at the ways to rethink the undecorous jeans, white shirt outfit formula.
With a timeless, throw-on-and-go feel, blue jeans and a white shirt make for one of the most iconic outfit formulas of all time — and the archetype philharmonic is poised to wilt one of fall’s top trends.
Back on spring runways, designers embraced denim — with a twist. Bottega Veneta’s “denim” jeans were unquestionably made from leather, while Khaite welcomed the return of unstructured wide-leg styles with a ‘90s-inspired, minimal look. Most recently, Kim Kardashian wore double undecorous denim on the imbricate of Interview’s “American Dream” issue, paired with a jockstrap and blonder-than-blonde hair. The archetype nomination is often styled with a white tank top, a simple yet revolutionary item that designers from Prada to Loewe featured heavily in their collections, solidifying it as a summer and fall must-have that’s once been seen on stars like Kendall Jenner, Bella Hadid, and Barbara Palvin.
What’s interesting well-nigh this trend is its simplicity: Here’s a covetable outfit formula that seems worlds untied from the TikTok “core” aesthetics and overly saturated verisimilitude palettes we’ve had over the past few seasons (we see you, Barbiecore!), suggesting that malleate is ready for us to return to basics. In this case, less is definitely more.
Still, that’s not to say that the philharmonic can’t be well-timed to fit our personal styles, so we looked into how five creators are sporting the trend superiority of the official undecorous jeans, white shirt season.

White Shirt, Blue Skirt
In specimen you missed it, denim midi skirts are a top trend this year. If pants aren’t your thing, maybe try a skirt instead?
Barbiecore
A few pops of unexceptionable pink are all you need to make this outfit philharmonic fit to live in a Barbie world.
The Cross-Over Twist
If this formula feels too classic, embrace current denim trends like cross-over or double-waisted jeans. Nothing wearisome well-nigh those.
A Puffed Sleeve Dream
Sure, the white tank top trend is super well-appointed and accessible, but if you’re still living in a cottagecore dream, this type of squint is for you.
A Crisp Shirt For A Crisp Fall
Back to school or when to the office? A simple white button-down shirt and undecorous jeans will do the trick. Add unexceptionable shoes for an uneaten oomph.
