There are some styles that always strike oneself as pure elegance. I am a firm believer that style comes from within. Spending a fortune every time isn’t needed to look classy and chic. In other words, you don’t always have to own expensive things to look expensive. There are plenty of tips and tricks to look like a billion bucks while being on a budget. Here are some of the things that appear to me universally chic, effortless and well groomed. Let’s have a look at some style philosophies that always scream inspirational.

 

STRIPES

Ever heard of anyone saying stripes looked cheap? They have always been versatile. To me stripes in any style have been like quality basics.

BLAZERS

A simple way to adding class to an outfit? Put on a blazer. From sophisticated office wear to chic casuals. No matter what you’ve got the blazer paired with, it makes the outfit super trendy. It is a quality closet staple that will go with anything, from tailored trousers to skinny jeans and dresses to short skirts.

BOAT NECK

To me the boat neck always give an outfit a polished look to the extreme. It’s simple, flattering and shows an impeccable taste.

BELTS

Belts are one accessory that amp up any outfit and look. If I ever could, I’d incorporate any kind of belt to every outfit of mine! Collect the styles and colours that will last forever and you will always have a way to make the outfit interesting.

MONOCHROMATIC OUTFITS

An all one coloured outfit brought together with the right fitted pieces, can never go wrong. It shouts pure grace and finesse. Always clean, crisp and elegant!

PEARLS

If u can’t decide on the accessories, put on some pearls and look effortless and expensive! While the real ones might be heavy on the wallet, get some amazing lookalikes. They give an equally preppy and sophisticated finish to any look.

NUDE LIPS AND NAILS

Minimal makeup with a glowing shine never fails to look impeccable. While gimmicky makeup might be tricky at times and could give a rather cheap look. The nude lips and nails bring out the class.
