You know that girl. She’s strutting down the street with her coffee, glowing skin, and “I woke up like this” vibe (even though we all know she definitely didn’t). The truth? Being that girl isn’t about designer price tags—it’s about confidence, style, and having your outfits on point.
And IMO, nothing boosts your confidence faster than waking up already knowing your outfit is gonna slay. So, I pulled together 17 outfit ideas that’ll have you feeling like that girl every single day of the week (and yes, even on laundry day).
Let’s talk looks that work—from Monday morning meetings to Saturday brunch to “Oops, I stayed out way past my bedtime” nights.
1. The Effortless Monochrome Moment
Nothing says I have my life together like a head-to-toe matching look.
Think cream trousers + cream knit top + cream sneakers.
Or go all-black with sleek trousers, turtleneck, and chunky loafers.
Pro tip: Monochrome instantly makes you look taller and more put-together (aka that girl energy). Bonus? You can get away with zero accessories and still look styled.
2. Oversized Blazer + Mini Skirt Combo
It’s giving “CEO at brunch.”
The oversized blazer balances the flirty mini perfectly, and it works with loafers, boots, or heels.
Why it works:
Blazer = structured, powerful
Mini skirt = playful, feminine
The combo = effortless hot girl math
3. Matching Lounge Set That Isn’t Sloppy
Yes, you can wear sweats and still look like you own a skincare fridge.
Go for a coordinated set in neutral tones (beige, mocha, sage green).
Add gold hoops and clean sneakers for the “I’m just running errands” lie.
4. White Shirt + Wide-Leg Pants
A crisp oversized white shirt tucked into wide-leg trousers? Iconic. You can wear this to work, a date, or just to stare dramatically out the window like you’re in a movie.
5. Slip Dress + Chunky Sweater
Layer a chunky knit over a silky slip dress, then add boots. It’s soft, romantic, and very main character in autumn.
6. Denim on Denim (Done Right)
Double denim is risky, but when it works—it works.
Pair light-wash jeans with a slightly darker denim jacket. Add a white tee to break it up and sneakers or kitten heels depending on your mood.
7. The Elevated Athleisure Fit
Think bike shorts, an oversized crewneck, chunky socks, and sneakers. Add a slicked-back bun and suddenly you look like you’re on your way to Pilates with Hailey Bieber.
8. Midi Skirt + Graphic Tee
This is where cool girl casual lives. Pair a silky midi with a vintage band tee, knot it at the waist, and add ankle boots.
9. Statement Coat Over Literally Anything
Some days you can’t even be bothered with a full outfit. Solution? Throw on a statement coat (bright color, bold print, or textured fabric) and suddenly you’re a street style star.
10. The All-Black But Make It Textured Look
An all-black outfit can be boring—unless you mix textures. Think: leather pants, ribbed knit top, and a satin bag. The subtle contrast keeps it sleek, not funeral.
11. Sweater Vest Layering
Sweater vests are back (and shockingly versatile).
Layer one over a white button-down with trousers, or over a turtleneck with a pleated skirt for preppy chic vibes.
12. Silk Scarf as a Top
Warm day? Tie a silk scarf into a halter or bandeau top, add high-waisted jeans, and voilà—effortless summer it girl.
13. The Capsule Outfit Formula
When you’re stuck: Blazer + Basic Tee + Straight-Leg Jeans + Sneakers. It works. Every. Single. Time.
14. Leather Jacket + Floral Dress
Soft and edgy in one outfit. A floral dress gives romance, the leather jacket says “I have opinions.” Together? Chef’s kiss.
15. The Minimalist Maxi Dress
A solid-colored maxi dress with clean lines will always make you look like you’ve got your life together (even if you just ordered takeout twice in a row).
16. Wide-Leg Jeans + Cropped Cardigan
This combo is retro without looking like you’re in a costume. Add platforms or sneakers depending on your mood.
17. The “I Just Threw This On” Jumpsuit
The beauty of a jumpsuit? It’s an outfit in one piece. Throw on sneakers for day or heels for night, and you’re instantly styled.
How to Keep the That Girl Energy All Week
Because let’s be real—outfits help, but mindset seals the deal.
Here’s how I keep my that girl moodboard alive even when my laundry pile is threatening to take over my room:
Prep outfits ahead of time. I lay mine out the night before so I can avoid the “panic throw everything on the bed” moment.
Invest in key pieces. A great blazer, quality jeans, and a few timeless accessories go a long way.
Mix high & low. Pair thrift finds with higher-end staples.
Own your look. Seriously, even if you’re in sweatpants, act like you planned it.
Final Thoughts
Being that girl isn’t about spending thousands—it’s about owning your vibe. If you feel good in your outfit, you’ll naturally walk taller, smile more, and attract that main character energy.
So, which look are you trying first? Personally, I’ll be in my monochrome set sipping an iced matcha like I have no emails to answer (lies, all lies).
