2. Style Tips for Effortless Elegance
Many of us aspire to look polished and put-together in our everyday lives, but it doesn’t have to be a difficult mission. Here are a few tips to achieve effortless elegance with ease:
Choose timeless pieces: When it comes to creating a classic look, go for pieces that will last the test of time. Taking the time to invest in quality items in classic cuts will ensure you look timeless regardless of changing trends, while also allowing you to mix and match different pieces.
Accessorize smartly: Accessories can take your outfit to the next level — add an aesthetic touch without overwhelming the look. Polished jewelry, a chic bag or scarf may be small touches, but they provide a professional and sophisticated upgrade. Plus, accessories are often moving elements, so you can easily further customize your look.
Think structure – If you want to give your outfit a dose of polish and sophistication, it pays to think more structural. Pointed toes and higher hems are sure-fire ways to achieve an effortlessly elegant look. Structural details like creases, cinched waists, or collars, can bring attention to the smallest of details and can be easy to pull off.
3. The Perfect Pieces for a Polished Look
For the putting-together perfectionist, individual pieces make all the difference for a polished look. There are just a few key items needed to make it happen.
A tailored blazer makes a sharp statement. It can be worn over a dress, or fitted jeans and a plain shirt. To make the statement even more powerful, opt for pinstripes and contrast the white of the shirt with a sea of black. A pair of classy sunglasses is a simple but effective addition. To add an edge, give the sunglasses a bold color or a unique shape.
No look is complete without a quality pair of shoes. Go for a black, ethically sourced leather ankle boot to channel understated cool. The versatility of this shoe is endless, while the sleek and classic design will make any outfit look sleek and modern. Lastly, a smart and stylish belt is the perfect accessory for a polished look. Choose a timeless design to stand the test of time.
