Casual clothes aren’t in conflict with elegance
The key to looking stylish with basics like jeans or sweaters depends on the rest of your appearance: if you look groomed and if your shoes are in good condition.
– One item can make the difference
A blazer can transform a casual outfit into an elegant look. This option is great since you can wear during the day and it works for a night out. A classy but most importantly, easy look.
–There’s more to life than red ties (sideways glance at Trump)
Wearing a tie can be fun and stylish if you know how to make the most of it. Ties can make your look come together and appear more polished.Go for it! Mix textures, colors, and patterns, and before you know it, the perfect tie can become your identity mark. –Feeling rebellious?
Leather jackets are the epitome of rebelliousness. Wearing one with basic clothes like cotton shirts, jeans, and a pair of sneakers can give you a casual, yet stylish look. –Simplicity is your best trick
Going back to basics will make you look way more sophisticated than just wearing “elegant” outfits. You don’t need to spend hours trying to find the secret to being fashionable. A black suit is great as long as it is well tailored.
–Use accessories and clothes to enhance your best features
Bear in mind the color of your skin, hair, and eyes to see what type of colors match and if there are others that drain you. Also, don’t be afraid to experiment, if your hands are itching for that green sweater or pink shirt, go for it…
–Looking formal is not just about wearing a suit and a tie
You can look elegant without having to wear a suit and tie. Just find a clean shirt and a pair of formal trousers, and you’ll look like a classy celebrity. –
Remember, you can pull off any style as long as you’re comfortable
You can never go wrong with a pair of aviator sunglasses, a formal shirt, a basic sweater, and a pair of jeans.
Michael Fassbender may go for casual and down to earth outfits but if you take a closer look you’ll see that his clothes are clean and in perfect condition. If you’re wearing a white, wrinkled, and dirty shirt then you’ll look scruffy, but if you take care of your clothes then you’ll nail any look you want. It’s all about feeling comfortable in your own skin and testing the boundaries everyday to see how far you can go!
