Denim pants and jackets are timeless classics that will save you from a lot of outfit drama. On days when you have to look put together even though you really cannot deal, a denim jacket will come to your rescue. Cold at the movies? Denim jacket. Denim day at school? Denim jacket fam! For pants, decide what style works best for you and stick to it. Boyfriend, baggy, boot cut, high rise (high waist), pencil etc.

Playing with colours and prints is an art that needs to be mastered. While you have to take time to learn this art and master it, here are a few basics to take away now. Match colourful prints with plain skirts and bottoms. Match printed dresses with plain accessories. Overall, remember that you cannot have more than three colours in your outfit at the same time.
Build A Capsule Wardrobe

Tons of super stylish women are building capsule wardrobes to suit their style and the season. You should do this too. When building a capsule wardrobe, pick out pieces that can be worn or styled in more than one way. If you feel this won’t work for you, resolve to reorganize your wardrobe at least once every three months.
Get An LBD (Or Two)

Show Off Your Best Feature

Knowing your best feature is the next step to being that fashionable chic you aspire to be. Figure out what your best feature is and style your outfits in a way that will show it off. Got graceful long legs? Rock them knee-length. Beautiful neck? Wear stylish up-dos and statement earrings. You get the drift?
Go Formal Sometimes

Do not always stick to age-appropriate wears. Bring out your super chic side with blazers, pantsuits, jumpsuits etc. Also, always remember that leggings go with long tops. So whenever you wear a pair of leggings, pair it with a thigh-length top.
In the end, there are no hard and fast rules for being fashionable. The key is to figure out what really works for you and stick with it.
Whatever outfit you decide to wear, remember that nothing will look good on you unless you are confident. So wear that confidence like a second skin and watch heads turn your way!
