A band t-shirt, a cozy cardigan, and sneakers is pretty much my casual uniform. This combination makes for an outfit that’s comfy, trendy, and easy. I love to wear outfits like this one when I need to look put together, but I don’t feel like putting forth a lot of effort or I’m running short on time. These items are basically my staple pieces so they’re definitely my most bought and most worn items!

I typically just wear jeans but my plaid obsession continues (did you catch this blog post?) with these funky checkered pants. To kick things up a notch from my usual denim, I decided to pair them with my usual graphic tee, cardigan, and sneakers combo for a look that’s as comfortable as it is trendy. And the best part is, all of these pieces are under 100 bucks. Affordable staples? Yes please! Grab the details down below.
