Olivia is a master of the high-low mix and you can use the trick by opting for finer silhouettes and fabrics like fur, leather, satin, cashmere and such to pair with your typical ensembles. According to Olivia, she never really believe in labels but rather goes with what looks good on her no matter who makes it. Again, the perfect fit is more important as no matter what the price of the item is; if it’s not flattering for you, then it’s not worth being worn. So, instead of looking for high-end designer pieces and labels, look for something that perfectly flatters you. You may buy yourself genuine leather or a faux leather coats, jacket, trousers, and even shorts. Go for something versatile that you can wear your statement ensemble most of the time.

You may traditionally wear a striped ensemble with a plain one but if you’re brave enough like Olivia, you may creatively mix some prints. When mixing prints and patterns, you may play with different versions, like wearing a vertically-striped top with a horizontal-striped bottom. Also, mix different prints in similar colors, or mix same prints in different shade to avoid looking overdone.
