As a shopping writer, it’s easy to assume I spend a lot of my time shopping, but the hours dedicated to scouring sites, finding seasonal clothing, and covering can’t-miss deals have made me rather picky about what I actually add to my closet.
There are a few credentials that will guarantee an item makes the cut, but none is more important than versatility. Quince has long been a trusted source for interesting basics that I can wear on repeat without getting bored. Most recently, that includes its European linen jacket, high-waisted shorts, and boxy tank top. In just two weeks, I reached for each item multiple times, ultimately creating four entirely different outfits from just three basics.
Work-to-Dinner Outfit
I was immediately drawn to the contrast of this jacket’s relaxed material and structured silhouette. The slight crop makes it easy to pair with shorts, skirts, dresses, and — as seen in this outfit — jeans. I wanted to accentuate the buttoned design and front pockets by wearing it on its own with pants, and I found that this outfit easily transitioned me from work to a fun dinner out without missing a beat.

Casual Weekend Look
My weekends are often spent running errands, walking my dog, and meeting up with friends for coffee or brunch. I was happy to find that the shorts and tank top were comfortable enough to last through all activities without looking too wrinkled by the end of the day. The shorts have a thick waistband, which keeps them from riding up, and the tank top is long enough to comfortably tuck in for an effortlessly polished look.

Date Night Ready
While I love the look of the matching set together, I have been reaching for the jacket on nights when I need a dressier layer that is still breathable and lightweight. On a recent date night with my husband and friends, I styled it over this midi dress from Quince, and I loved that I could wear it open or buttoned up to a nice dinner.

Out to Brunch
A mid-day event that requires slightly dressier attire can sometimes stump me, but wearing this jacket, shorts, and heeled sandals has proven to be an ideal combination for comfort and style. I love that the simple set can be easily dressed up with accessories, yet the jacket's details let it stand on its own.
