Prints, please!
Whether in outfits or accessories, prints are always a delight to behold. You can easily give your outfit the desired pop by pairing a simple black dress with an eye-catching print like zebra. Otherwise, make print the focal point of your ensemble like Chinyere Adogu has done above.
White, anyone?
White doesn’t discriminate as it blends perfectly with every outfit. If you’re feeling chic, be like Adedoyin Folami below and rock a crisp white suit for an unmissable sass. If, however, you’re in for a feminine, yet elevated casual offering, rock your white top with various shades of pink. It’ll surely be a hit.
Play with neutrals
Several style stars agree that neutrals are the best way to go if you seek a classic look. Even more excitingly, this color scheme makes you look expensive! Rock a white-and-black-striped sweater dress with brown boots and a purse like Alicia Mukuna has done above, or pair grey with white and black pieces like Nafissa Maiga.
Monochrome A-game
You almost can’t go wrong with monochrome as any coordination built around a single tone will always be in style. For example, exude a strong, edgy vibe like Kelela has done in this all-black look below. Otherwise, play with different shades of one color like Camila Coelho. Whichever route you go, the result is always a hit.
Little black dress
There’s a reason this outfit is beloved by celebrities and style influencers around the world. It’s not only stylish and perfect for most occasions, but it also forgives even the “rookiest” of styling mistakes. Simply slip into it, pair it with cool accessories, and voila, you’re good to go.
Boots o’clock
It’s the cooler season and that means boots! But, boots are essential for every closet even beyond the cooler months as they give a certain air of edge that elevates even the simplest looks. Pick your favorite pair in neutral tones like browns, whites, and greys for a chic effect.
Classic denim
No closet is complete without denim, and that’s a fact. This as-old-as-time outfit is super versatile and fits most frames. That is to say, you can pair yours whichever way you wish and you’ll be in the right. Whether it’s skirts, pants, jackets, or a denim-on-denim combo, every closet needs a bit of denim fever and yours isn’t an exception.
