Our Favorite Off-Duty Looks From Free People

We’ve always loved We The Free’s vintage-inspired Emerson Tote, and this year we’re all about its mini version. It has the same lived-in look that gets better with use and is about half the size. Fill it with your current read, essentials, and extra phone charger, and have yourself a day. ($178)

No matter what season, these pull-on barrel jeans will take any jeans-and-a-cute-top outfit to the next level. Pair them with a solid tank and sneakers for a laidback look or heeled booties for a night out. The pant legs taper in at the ankle so you can show off your footwear. ($148+)

These are certified Cool Girl™ leather boots. From the kitten heel and pointed toe, to the slim belt that sits around the ankle, these will be our most-reached-for boots by the end of the year. Get them before they're gone. ($258) 

No need to freeze for your right to party. This stretchy, ribbed long-sleeve top has an ultra-wide neckline to show off your statement jewelry or favorite scarf, and is long enough to tuck into pants or a skirt. And who doesn’t love a little lace detailing? ($58)  

In case you’re not quite ready to let go of sundresses, this milkmaid-style top is a great transitional piece. We love both floral prints (in seasonally appropriate color palettes) and appreciate the stretchy smocked back for comfort. Add a suede jacket for cooler nights. ($98) 

Boho is back, and this top-and-skirt set is the first addition to our revived collection from 2016. To nail the latest iteration of the trend, layer a tank under this set and add chunky mixed-metal or beaded jewelry. The tiered skirt and top are also great for mixing and matching. Swap the top for a denim vest, or replace the skirt with a pair of jeans and tall boots for an autumnal look. ($168) 

Nothing gets us more excited for fall than a cozy plaid shirt. We love this one for its oversized fit, warm tones, and large front pocket. It’s a great top layer for running out to grab the mail, or for those WFH days when putting on real clothes is simply not an option. ($148) 

We don’t style-shame here, so for anyone who’s Team Low-Rise, we proudly present these iconic jeans designed to sit on your hip. The paint-splattered denim is one-of-a-kind, though you’ll be surprised by how versatile these pants actually are. They tend to run small, so be sure to size up. ($198)

If you like clothes that feel like you’re wearing next to nothing, you’ll love this flowy, lace-trimmed camisole from Free People’s in-house brand Intimately. The collection includes lightweight, romantic loungewear and intimates that are cute enough to wear out, but comfortable enough to sleep in. Throw this over a long-sleeve tee for a ‘90s-inspired look, or a bralette to keep the boho vibes going. ($38) 

You may already have a closet full of long-sleeve tops, but the boat neckline on this one is undoubtedly chicer than the rest. It's still a great layering piece, thanks to the fitted silhouette. Throw it on over a sports bra and leggings to a workout class, or under a sweater on colder days. ($38)
