If you’re a fan of casual dressing for where your jeans are normally paired with graphic tees, it’s time to update your look. To get a modern style, skip those flared jeans, Canadian Tuxedo outfits, denim-on-denim-outfit, button-front skirt, and culottes that scream retro. Like Michelle, going for a pair of skinny jeans teamed with an off shoulder blouse, or jeans-and-tee outfit dressed up with silk scarf and red sandals can be enough to add some modern flair to your street style. Going for neat denim skirts, whether it’s an A-line, pencil, or wrap style will make your casual style dressy.

  1. Go for head-to-toe neutral over monochromatic minimalist look.

If you’re a minimalist and a fan of monochromatic dressing, it’s time to level up your looks without drawing away from your personal style. Like Michelle, stick to the neutral palette but go for modern combinations like nude and white or nude with black which looks minimal at the same time. Brown, camel, beige and such are part of the earthy palette that looks ethnic, so you may limit them on your accessories like Michelle did.

  1. Add some structure to your bohemian style.

Bohemian fashion is known for free-flowing silhouettes, fringes, tassels, and suede. Like Michelle, you can modernize your style by teaming your bohemian pieces with boxy silhouettes like a structured top with frayed denim culottes. Or, switch to neutral shades of white, cream, and black while keeping the bohemian silhouettes on your outfit.

  1. Make your modern classic style edgy yet sophisticated.

Modern classic style is a mix of timeless pieces worn in a modern way with architectural structures and edgy details. Like Michelle, think of chic jogger pants that can go well with your color blocked blouse, and dress it up with architectural pair of heels and box clutch. Or, go for a leopard print sweater teamed with a structured skirt and edgy shoes. Just keep your accessories sophisticated and modern to dress up your classic pieces effortlessly.

  1. Go for a breezy feminine style.
