Scarves can be a classic staple, but their looks will depend on how you’re going to style them. Like Zanita, you may update your classic long sleeved top and pants with a skinny scarf that’s trendy and chic this fall season. Or, instead of the traditional scarf worn around the neck, belt it with your dress so you’ll update you classic look strategically. If you usually make use of a bandana scarf to wrap on your neck in a sailor-inspired style, opt for a silk scarf instead that look more classy yet trendy.

Stick to neutral and classic shades.

Classic style is known for elegant shades of black, white, camel, tan, beige, gray, navy and such that can be versatile enough to go well with anything. Though you may go for bright colors, it’s better to stick to jewel tones to keep your style classy and not flashy. Like Zanita, you may think of topping your all white outfit with a classic camel coat, but make it a bit trendy with a pair of sneakers. If you wish to wear a structured black coat, then make it trendy with a pair of cuffed jeans and edgy boots, perfect for the fall season.
