Wear a basic outfit. One way to set the basis for a stylish outfit is to wear a basic, always in style outfit, such as jeans and a plain t-shirt. Other basic outfits include cutoff shorts, hoodies, and simple floral dresses. Then, add pieces to this to make it in line with current fashion trends. Add a pair of heels, wedge sandals, boots, booties, or whatever shoe is stylish and hip right now. Basic pieces look great with everything. Blazers and cardigans are great pieces to match with basic outfits. Scarves are an easy way to look stylish. Add a patterned scarf to the basic outfit. Finish it off with the perfect handbags. Some celebrities and fashionistas spend more money and time on the perfect handbag than they do clothes. Make that basic jeans and t-shirt super stylish by carrying a hobo bag.[1] X Research source Wear a trendy garment. Instead of starting with a basic outfit, go for a trendy garment. Try a wild print dress, a shirt in a bold color, or a style that is super chic but not necessarily your basic, everyday wear. Balance the garment out with basic accent pieces, like a solid cardigan or jacket, black pumps, or a small clutch. The key to style is balance. Everything

you wear should be tasteful and match. When you wear wilder pieces, that should be the focus of your outfit. Everything else should be basic and downplayed. You don't want to clash with the stylish piece or take the attention away from it. Emphasize your best features. You've been told you have great legs, you have a nice butt, or a great chest. Emphasize those assets! Use certain cuts, embellishments, and colors to emphasize certain body parts. If you have great legs or a great butt, wear skinny jeans. Make sure your shirt doesn't cover up your butt. Try a dress or a skirt that lands above the knee if you have great legs. Wear low, tasteful necklines if you want to accentuate your chest. Wear sleeveless shirts and dresses if you want to show off your arms. Balance trendy with staples. When wearing trendy pieces, go for this breakdown: 50% trendy, 50% staple. Or go 30% trendy, 70% staple. The key is not to overdo it. When wearing a bold trendy dress, pair it with basic staples. Go for a neutral handbag and simple jewelry. For shoes, try sandals, booties, or pumps in neutral colors like black or tan.[2] X Research source When wearing something like a trendy faux fur vest, pair it

with skinny jeans, booties, and a plain long-sleeved top. Finish it off with a hat. Buy a few staple jewelry pieces. One great way to easily look stylish is to buy some jewelry that will go with everything. Buy pieces in solid colors so they'll match more outfits. Try stones and accents in colors that match most of the clothes in your wardrobe. Many of these staple pieces can be purchased at prices that won't break the bank.[3] X Research source Try getting gold and silver necklaces, bracelets, rings, or earrings. Buy pieces that have black stones to match your black-based outfits. Wear pieces with brown stones to match earth-tones. Go for statement jewelry. Nothing can add pizzazz to an outfit better than statement jewelry. No matter if you're wearing a simple neutral dress, a grey pant suit, or jeans and a t-shirt, bold necklaces and large cocktail rings can add style to any outfit. Give a pop of color with shoes. When wearing neutral pencil shirts and dress shirts, don't match it with a pair of shoes of the same shade. Add some fun to your navy skirt and white shirt with bubblegum pink shoes. Accent your black suit with red heels.[4] X Research source Try looking for other

places to add a pop of color. Match your lipstick to your shoes. Wear a purple button up under your suit instead of white. Find places to add a bit of color to staple office wear. Expand beyond plain suits. You have a closet full of grey and black suits and white shirts. While that's a sleek, powerful look, you might want to change it up a little. Try pinstripes instead of solids. Not only do they look professional, but they are flattering for your figure. Pair pinstripes with a solid blazer in a different color for a bit of variety. Go for feminine cuts over suits. Suits aren't the only thing you can wear to the office. Buy a few feminine dresses and skirts with pleats, ruffles, and bright colors to brighten your office attire. Buy A-line dresses and pair them with jackets. Try dresses in neutrals and wear them with patterned jackets and accessories. Pair patterned dresses with neutral blazers and pumps. Get pleated skirts in floral or polka dots. Pair them with shirts with ruffles.[5] X Research source Choose one bold piece. Solids and neutrals are not the only way to dress for work. Try pairing one bold, trendy piece with muted colors. Buy a chic, bold skirt and pair it with a

simple, neutral top, stylish shoes in a complimentary color, a neutral bag, and a few pieces of tasteful jewelry. Wear a trendy top with tailored black pants, pumps, and a black handbag.[6] X Research source Try bright blue, purple, or pink pants with black pumps and a black shirt. Pair strappy or stiletto heels with a conservative ensemble.[7] X Research source Dress conservatively if you have classic style. Classic style is timeless. People who dress in classic pieces are never chasing trends and are always in style. The key for this style is neutrals: black, gray, navy, and beige. Clean lines are also a staple in your wardrobe. Blazers look great with this style for work or play. Pair that blazer with a pencil or flowing pleated skirt, jeans or khakis, or even a long dress.[8] X Research source Nautical striped tops look great with this style. White and plaid button ups are also staples. Pair the shirts with v-neck pullover sweaters or cardigans. Riding boots and simple ballet flats look great with this style.

Wear tops and jackets with large shoulders and pieces with non-traditional and linear lines. Bold prints are a must have for this style. Wear dresses in animal prints, or crazy bright colors. Art Deco patterns work well with this style. Red is your color. Red one-sleeved dress, red lipstick, red shoes, red accessories - it doesn't matter.

Cuff bracelets, stacked bangles, gemstone statement necklaces and earrings, and large cocktail rings are perfect accessories to your outfits. Balance is the key to being tasteful here. Pair crazy pieces with softer basics. Balance short hemlines with high necklines or low cut tops with longer hemlines.[10] X Research source Be fun and edgy if you're a trendy dresser.

fashion doesn't mean you wear sweat pants and sneakers everywhere. You can take your style and look great walking down the street. The key for this style is relaxed clothes.
