When wearing something glossy on your top, don’t go for a leather bottom that will compete with your textures. Like Kristin, go for a suede skirt that will look great with a cotton blouse, or a chiffon tank top that will blend well with your denim shorts. Even wearing a monochromatic outfit, keep the contrasting textures on your shoes, bag, toppers, and dress that will make everything stylish.

Pay attention to structure and silhouettes.

Like Kristin, take advantage of classic stripes that will look perfect for your office attires and resort to camouflage prints to add some edge to your casual outfits. Just keep in mind that horizontal stripes are widening depending on their size and placement, so be mindful if they’ll flatter you before wearing them. Or simply tie a striped sweater on your all-black outfit to spice your looks a bit without going outlandish. You may also go for geometric, abstract, and floral prints but keep them in the muted hues to keep your style classic and sophisticated.

Resort to a pair of lace-up sandals or boots.
