Just go for one neutral pattern to team with a more elaborate print to keep your outfit sleek and polished. Going for the hints of red, cobalt blue, lime green, orange, and yellow could be great for adding some life to your fashion style.

Jeans and tees may be the relaxed pieces that will first come into your mind, but to keep your style chic, better go for chic pants with slouchy fit or a chic blouse with drapey fit. When wearing a slouchy or non-fitting sweater, go for a fitted pair of pants to keep your looks polished and sleek. Topping your casual or dressy outfit with a relaxed coat or shawl will give an effortless vibe in you. Just skip those distressed, faded, ripped, and frayed jeans that will only take away the chic and sleek vibe in you.

Go for comfy yet stylish footwear.
