Study well the clothes you have
Study well the clothes you have
It is the main rule and surely the one that we least comply with at home. Take a good look at all your clothes and create outfits that you can wear on the days you are not inspired. It is one of the keys to take advantage of your wardrobe and get different looks. Photo by Anine Bing.
Create a look around a garment
Create a look around a garment
It is always easier to dress if we start to think about the most important piece of the look. Stylists tend to focus on a more trendy garment, in this case a pleated skirt, and look for garments around it to match well. We like this look for its sporty air.
Small gestures

Like lowering your jacket below your shoulders, or putting on your sunglasses in a different way are different tricks to make that look more fashion than others. Take a look at one of our best-known bloggers, Mónica Sors, and her gorgeous Instagram photos.
The importance of shoes
The importance of shoes
Stylists know it and we all know it: shoes are essential to finish off any look. This set would go completely unnoticed if it weren't for these wonderful ankle boots with the jeans inside. We love!
Mix of styles
Mix of styles
It's a basic rule of thumb for every stylist: mix well and you'll be right. In this case Emily Blunt applies this law with great skill and shows us that a very basic sailor shirt can be used in an event if you combine it well. We love the stripes + flowers combo.
Play with the proportions
Play with the proportions
If you wear a garment with volume at the top (bomber style), wear narrow but not tight pants, otherwise you will see too much difference between both parts. These flared jeans with a small ruffle at the bottom are perfect for this type of jacket. If you master the proportions you will succeed. Picture of .
Combine colors that do not stick
Combine colors that do not stick
A priori … because we like the mix of navy blue with black more and more. And the fault of this is of the stylists who play with this type of atypical combinations. We love this Giorgia Tordini look for its sobriety and elegance. We are struck by her daring shoes, and matching manicures and pedicures. Impeccable.
The pyramid theory
The pyramid theory
Or compensation: that is, if you wear a miniskirt or short, compensate by wearing a more covered top, and if you wear a neckline, wear long garments such as maxi skirts or pants. Only then will you make your most daring garments elegant. Sincerely Jules outfit.
Stylish basics
Stylish basics
We often see great looks in magazines made with basic garments, but when we create them they don't look so good on us. The difference lies in the quality. The pattern and the nature of the fabrics make a basic garment look as if it were designer. That is why it is important to invest in basics. Look at Oliva Culpo and her classy look.
Duplicate the patterns
Duplicate the patterns
It is a good trick to optically lengthen the silhouette. Putting on the same print as a total look is a good fashion tip to get a different and very flattering style. Test it!
Over-the-shoulder jacket
Over-the-shoulder jacket
This look has several stylist tricks to be effective. The main one: putting the jacket over the shoulders. Although it is not the most practical thing in the world, it gives a very cool air to the look and that is why many bloggers put it like that in their instagram photos . The rest of the outfit helps to achieve this much desired efortless look .
Male Female

A combo that always works: put on a men's suit and feminize it with accessories. Margot Robbie gives us a lesson in style with this striped suit with minimal sandals and flower on the lapel. Très chic.
Total look in black
Total look in black
Yes, stylists love the color black. And in general all the fashion professionals, but if you also want to dress with class a total look in dark tones, do not forget to give a touch of grace to the set with a color accessory that makes a difference. We like Gala González's red flowers.
The third garment
The third garment
A very useful trick. If a style is somewhat bland with only two garments: you only need to put a third garment to improve it. In this case, Diletta Bonaiuti has put on a vest top over the sweater and has managed to go from a basic look to a very modern one. Its daring add-ons have also helped.
A touch of humor
A touch of humor
If you're tired of your classic jeans + sweater combo, put on an attention-grabbing top. A clearly visible (funny) logo, a strong message … anything goes to achieve a fun outfit like Gigi Hadid's. Of course, the very high waist and the ankles in sight, as the trend sets.
Own style
Own style
Every stylist, influencer or clothing specialist has their own style. Although it follows the trends, it is good to have that particular aesthetic, so that it sets you apart from the rest. In this case, the influencer Lovely Pepa shows us, with two super different looks, how her play with accessories gives her that special touch.
