You may start by going for a matching bold color on your shoes and bag that will still look great with your chic pieces. Like Ella, you may think of red pumps and bag that will go perfectly with your preppy collared outfit, or a yellow sling bag and flats with your chic white dress. If you’re confident enough, go for quirky shades of green or orange that will bring some pop to your chic outfits, as well as a cute pair of sunglasses or a briefcase backpack that will be a cute statement on your street looks.

Floral prints can look a bit quirky if it features too bright and catchy shades making the pattern stand out even worn with a classic outfit. Also, think of food prints, fruit prints, graphic silhouettes and such that will add some fun to your street style.
