Jennifer Aniston's love for simple, pared-back basics has inspired our closet choices many times, with her love for minimalistic summer looks of jeans, tank tops and flip flops giving us the ideal warm weather outfit formula.

From inspiring our favorite summer outfits for work, to showing us why her go-to Havaianas shouldn't only be reserved for beachwear, Jen's casual closet is a haven of inspiration. But she also knows when to introduce some fun, playful pops of interest into her outfits too.

Way ahead of the current trend, Jen stepped out in a beautiful pair of toe loop sandals back in 2016. Nearly a decade on, they're a big trend this year as they're an elevated style that's also still a super comfortable option for everyday wear with their flat sole and supportive straps.

How to style yours

The Friends star was pictured in New York wearing these summer capsule closet staples, with the two-tone tan and black leather design of her sandals perfectly complementing her tonal outfit.

The warm tanned brown and hint of black leather worked brilliantly alongside her khaki trousers, while a white camisole and beige flowy duster coat leaned into an earthy, neutral color palette we love for summer.

Of course, her roomy Hermes bag caught our eye. But it was her sandals that really stood out. In a two-tone tan and leather design, these flats feature a leather toe ring with a single t-strap that joins the strap going across the foot. Can you imagine an outfit these wouldn't work with? Dresses, skirts, shorts, jeans - they're super versatile!

Add in a gold leaf necklace and the aviator-shaped sunglasses she loves so much, and this easy-to-recreate ensemble is classic Jennifer.
