I’ll be the first to admit that, aside from some T-shirts and bike shorts, most of the clothes I bought in 2020 now sit in my closet unused. Staying home during the pandemic has truly convinced me that comfort comes first, and when I do venture outside, I end up wearing the same old outfits: long blanket dresses or a tank top and shorts, complete with a pair of Birkenstocks.
Still, there’s one small switch I’ve made recently that has allowed me to find the happy medium, achieving no-fuss and fashion-forward all at the same time. Shoulder tie straps — or TinyTies, as I like to call them — have added a little something extra to even my most basic looks. Choosing items with this small detail makes me feel like I’ve put in a little more effort, even if it’s still a throw-on-and-go (or lounge around) dress, top, or swimsuit.
Plenty of bloggers have made a case for TinyTies, too, proving they look great on everyone, work for any occasion, and can be worn in any type of weather. Get a dose of outfit inspiration, ahead, before shopping the trend for yourself.
