People Who Never Follow Trends Rely On These 5 Fall Outfits

If you love learning about the latest and greatest fashion trends, we have plenty of content for you at Who What Wear. Might I interest you in a story about the biggest color trends from the spring 2025 runways? How about a celebrity-approved red carpet look? There are plenty more articles where those came from! However, this one’s for the more simplistic dressers out there—the kind of fashion-loving people who prefer to skip trends and rely on classic outfit combinations instead.

If this sounds like you, you’ve come to the right place.

2. Monochrome Outfit

When in doubt, people with classic style pick one color and stick to it. I love wearing the same shade from head to toe because it takes the guesswork out of getting dressed. When you’re only working with one color, there’s need to worry about what matches!

3. Matching Set

4. Black Pantsuit

This one needs no explanation. Is there anything more classic than a pantsuit? For less formal occasions, I like mixing and matching pieces. For instance, I’ll wear a black blazer with a pair of baggy jeans or black trousers with a simple white T-shirt.

5. Cropped Jacket + Miniskirt

I adore this timeless outfit combo. H&M has a super-cute cropped jacket and matching skirt that I’ll be using to re-create the below outfit.
