Begin by exploring your wardrobe for some basic pieces such as a button-down blouse, overalls, denim jeans, coats, scarves, chiffon blouses, plain shirt, knit sweater, plaid skirt, and such. Be creative and eclectic to try things out and look what works best. Like Claire, she creatively matched different tops to her denim overalls such as asymmetrical striped shirt, long sleeves chiffon blouse and paired it with a red scarf, and blazer on top of her overall.

If you like, you may do some manual work like unconventional tuck in, cuffs, and knots in your ensemble. As we can see in Claire’s photographs, she made a simple knot to her neutral colored cardigan for an artificial asymmetrical style. She creatively tied a red scarf on her chest for a pop of color and texture. Her white shoes that supposed to be tied in a classic way were fastened into a lace up style. Also she manually created some twist on her skirt by tying it on the side instead of using zippers, and made a draped knot creating an asymmetrical hemline. It’s a simple trick you can use to style whatever you pull out of your closet. Place the knot off to one side and show off some thigh then you’re ready to go.

Though wearing socks with sandals are breaking the fashion rules, Claire flaunts her socks intentionally to create a laid-back style. She wears white or black socks with classic shoes with block heels, oxfords, purple ballet flat shoes, red ankle boots, and even black school shoes. Keep things plain to look cool and versatile like pairing socks with sandals for a vintage, eclectic, and retro look.
