Simple Shortcuts to Chic-Town

There’s no doubt that being chic is a goal we all want to achieve – whether we care to admit it or not. No one wants to look like they’ve just come out of bed, and no one wants to be less fashionable than what they’ve pictured themselves to be. But being chic is not a magic trick; you can’t clap your hands and just expect to look magazine-cover-worthy.

And so, after careful examinations of runway trends, street style moments and of course, our Instagram feeds, it has come to our attention that sophistication comes in the little details. And here’s how:

  1. We’re going to start with the basics here. Shoes. How often have you judged someone based on his/her shoes? That said, we’ve come to find that well-polished, stylish shoes can go a long way. This season, focus on block-heeled ankle boots or shoes with metallic hues.
  2. Now bags. There are one too many trends proliferating as we speak, but perhaps the most attractive ones are the belt-bags and the shopper bags. Use these accessories to your advantage by making a statement with them.
  3. Sunglasses have always been a part of one’s “mystery factor”. Sport this season’s must-have sunnies – such as the tiny frames – and update your look in the most fashionable kind of ways.
  4. Animal prints are key. Whether they’re found in your shoes, bags, scarf or any other accessory, let the animal instinct in you lead the way.
  5. Layered necklaces can turn an outfit from nay to yay in a split second. Make sure you mix-and-match your necklaces appropriately, from the lengths to the styles and the motifs.
  6. PVC is in. Embrace it. Make use of this trend by donning PVC bags, PVC shoes or even a PVC coat!
