Note that my sweater is not tucked…I used removable fashion tape to turn the hem under and secure it. Click here for a how-to video.
Simplicity
Less is more: this is the fundamental principle behind effortlessly chic outfits. It emphasizes the idea that simplicity and restraint can create a powerful and sophisticated style statement. Simple chic at its finest.
Neutrality
There is something about a neutral color palette that looks chic without trying. Shades like black, white, beige, navy, and gray effortlessly blend together, allowing for endless outfit combinations. By sticking to a neutral color scheme, you can create a cohesive and elegant wardrobe that transcends seasonal trends….and take age off your appearance.
Timeless
Effortlessly chic outfits are devoid of trendy fashion pieces. It revolves around timeless pieces that never go out of fashion, such as a quality crewneck sweatshirt, cableknit sweater, crisp button up shirt, etc. Opt for quality leather shoes and handbags…rather than perpetually trendy items such as sneakers. These versatile pieces can be mixed and matched with ease, allowing you to effortlessly create polished and stylish looks.
Unfitted
In researching this post, I found one common element to all outfits that I found effortlessly chic: none of the outfits were tight or fit close to the body. Instead, the outfits predominantly consisted of *slightly* oversized t-shirts and sweaters, comfortably loose jeans, and a few flowy or unfitted tube skirts. Something about the loose fit connotes that the wearer isn’t “trying to hard”, as the saying goes. Something about an unfitted outfit conveys the aura of easy breezy style.
Minimal
Keeps the prints and accessories to a minimum. Utilize a few high-quality accessories like a statement handbag, a pair of classic sunglasses, and understated jewelry. These pieces can effortlessly transform any ensemble, making it look effortlessly chic. Remember, less is more when it comes to accessorizing, so choose wisely and opt for quality over quantity.
