Soft tailoring is a trend that keeps getting reinvented each season. In this case, the look is grounded with a pair of relaxed pleated pants. Instead of adding a blazer, add a tank, ballet flats, and a belt to soften up suiting.

For an elevated spin on a T-shirt look, just add white trousers and a micro belt at the waist. As we move into fall, I would also add a blazer or cardigan for some extra texture and layers.
