While I can't pin down the exact reason why, I've always found the "striped shirt and trouser" combination to be an ultra chic outfit. It's probably because of its nautical undertones, but there's something very "French Riviera" about this look.
This is more evident if the striped shirt is red and the trousers are long and fitted. It reminds me of Brigitte Bardot during her prime.
Yes, nothing spells relaxed chic like this ensemble, especially if you throw in some ballet flats along with it.
Department stores have an abundance of striped shirts and trousers these days, so it's so easy to recreate this look.
And if you know where to shop, it's so easy to recreate this look for less than a thousand.
For example, this shirt is from Surplus Shop. It's cut a bit looser and has raglan sleeves. This makes it feel so comfy and relaxed.
The trousers are also from Surplus shop, and it's the classic khakis cut like a pair of boyfriend jeans. Just cuff the hem and you've got a look that's uber relaxed.
Here's the final touch to the entire look. A pair of cherry red ballet flats with black trimming which is from SM Department Store. The material of these shoes are soft and cotton-y, which fits the laid-back vibe of the entire outfit.
This entire look is a few pesos shy of a thousand bucks, which means it still falls under the LFLTAT category.
And since it's a classic look that's timeless, you can wear it over and over and over again. Now that's great value for your fashion money.
