35 Cute Classy Outfits
Streetwear is all the rage right now but there is nothing wrong with a bit of elegance! Everyone should have classy little wardrobe staples that can be mixed and matched with your favorite pieces. Looking classy without looking like you are attending a business meeting is difficult but possible, we can assure you. Here are our 35 favorite classy outfit ideas..
1All Black
An all-black outfit, whatever you are wearing, looks instantly chic and put together. We love this outfit for its minimalist yet modern edge. The pleather trousers, with the faux fur coat add texture whilst the gold details bring a bit of shine. A high-neck sweater is the ideal sweater as it is flattering, clings to your figure and the high neck look serious but elegant. Finish this off with a cute black satchel bag and you’re ready to go!
2Laid-Back Blue
Light-wash jeans don’t have to look casual. They compliment a darker blue so well, like with this v-neck shirt. Tuck the front into your jeans and add a belt for a dressier yet laid-back look. Throw over a cute light blazer to bring a bit of light into the mix. Grey goes with every color imaginable so it is a wardrobe staple you will be needing for dressing classy!
3Little Black Dress
No girl’s wardrobe is complete without the little black dress. It is ideal for formal, casual or even office wear. If you want to impress at a job interview, this outfit would certainly be how to do it! Black ankle boots elongate your legs and are practical. Matching black accessories make this outfit instantly a style hit!
4Black Belt
If you’re trying to achieve a classier wardrobe, don’t throw out the sweater dresses just yet! If you have mid-length ones, use a leather wrap belt to cinch you in at the waist and create an hourglass figure. It gives shape to what can be a shapeless garment and will look good with court heels or ankle boots.
5Cigarette Pants
6Shirt Dress
Shirt dresses can be casual or smart depending on your choice of fit. This fitted dress is perfect for accentuating your figure all whilst remaining classy. The A-line skirt is on-trend thanks to its pleats, that help add volume. Keep to a classic color such as black or navy blue, and use accessories to add a splash of color, such as gold. The gold belt just finishes the whole look off!
7Pinstripes
Remember when pinstripes were on-trend a few years ago? Well they have made a come-back! They make elegant cigarette pants and can take you from day to night. Wear them with a cute sweater and shirt combo for the day, and wear with a white shirt tucked into them and heels for the evening. As they arrive just above the ankle, they show just the right amount of skin too!
8Jacquard Skirts
9Camel Everything!
Word on the street is that camel is a hot color! You don’t necessarily need to splurge to look classy. Just adding rich colors like camel can make your outfit look more luxury without the major price tag. The camel blazer and matching brogues add a certain sophistication to what is a casual outfit. This would look great for an interview or for your first day at college.
10Try Turtle-Necks
Fashionistas are obsessed with them, and so are we! The turtle-neck is a basic wardrobe staple you need for your new classy wardrobe. Get them in every color possible! They bring an extra bit of class to your outfit. Who knew a sweater and jeans could look so classy together? Loafers are also another trend that have made a big comeback, and though they may look like shoes your grandma would wear, give them a chance! They look amazing with cropped jeans!
11Pleather Skirts
12Classy Coats
If you have to splurge on something for your classy wardrobe, then it is a coat. The simpler, the better. Button detailing, and a fitted structure are all the boxes you need to tick. Beige looks great if you tend to wear darker clothes, though navy blue coats with rose gold buttons are just as striking. If you have a great coat, you are bound to turn heads in the street!
13The Pencil Skirt
The cliché of a classy wardrobe is the pencil skirt. They can often seem drab, but they are far from it. Here, it has been teamed with an oversized sweater of a similar color to add a modern, androgynous feel. The pencil skirt can be styled with heels for a classier look or dressed down with white sneakers for a more streetwear vibe.
14Bodycon Dresses
15Statement Coats
Every girl needs her statement coat. So if you have enough basic coats to last you a lifetime, bring a bit of color into your life with some patterns. Stripes and checkered patterns are classy but are a great way of incorporating a bit of vibrance into your wardrobe. We love this navy blue coat with white stripes, and it goes so well with everything! It has quite an oversized feel but still remains feminine and chic.
16Mini Skirt Madness
Mini skirts, classy? We’ll leave it up to you to decide, but we love this outfit! The mini skirt, with an oversized sweater and heeled boots is classy, and lets your legs do the talking. The sweater matches the wine tones in the skirt and looks stylish and serious. Complete the look with a statement necklace!
17Patterned Jeans
Classy outfits are often associated with minimalist looks, but they don’t have to be. Patterned jeans are a way fo injecting some youthful fun into your outfit all whilst looking sophisticated. Let your patterned jeans be the talking point of the outfit and keep the rest to one tone. Find your favorite sweater and team them with your jeans! We are particularly loving the wet-look trend at the moment.
18All White
All white looks crisp, finished, and straight off the catwalk. White and off-white make you glow and are flattering on everyone. This look combines our favorite, the turtle-neck, with tapered pants for a business-feel. This outfit will make you feel like you can do anything! You are the boss!

19Palazzo Pants
Palazzo pants add a luxurious feel to an outfit. You may have not spent more than 50$ on it, but it will look like triple that with some palazzo pants and a cute white shirt. Add some heels to lengthen your frame or some cute sandals for the summer months. A simple black clutch will look great with this outfit for events.
20Love For Burgundy
Another year, another hot trend with burgundy. It is a rich color that instantly injects life into your wardrobe. A burgundy blazer with a monochrome outfit, and little pops of burgundy in the accessories makes you look like you have made tons of effort! It is classy but still wearable for day-to-day and you probably have most of these items in your wardrobe already!
21White Lace
22All Black
It may seem obvious, but all black is classy. Though a pop of color doesn’t do any harm from time to time, black is flattering and slimming. Pairing your favorite black sweater with a high-waisted skirt helps draw attention to your waist and creates a flawless hourglass figure. Rosie Huntington-Whiteley shows us how to work this easy look!
23Great In Grey
24Basic Tee and Jeans
25Tartan Times
Tartan is a timeless look that we will never grow tired of. Try emerald green tartan, it is a lot less ventured and it looks amazing on all skin tones! It looks particularly striking on brunettes! A skater-style dress nips you in at the waist and flows into a slightly-flared skirt that still compliments your figure. The bright red bag really pulls the look together!

30All Dressed Up
The little black dress… a favorite of ours! We love this LBD with its draped effect, it clings to the hips and defines your figure. The great thing about LBDs is that you can wear whatever shoes you want. We love these snakeskin heels. The pattern is elegant and instantly makes the outfit look more expensive.
31Khaki Crush
Along with burgundy, khaki is another trend favorite. Khaki jeans are a wardrobe staple, especially for spring/summer 17. To make them classy, style them with an oversized white shirt and simple black heels. Sometimes, the simpler the outfit, the classier it actually is! Don’t be too afraid of the minimal look!
