Layering isn’t just for cold weather, it’s a great way to add dimension to basic pieces. Try:  

– A structured blazer over a simple dress for a polished look.  

 

– A lightweight cardigan knotted over your shoulders for a casual vibe. 

 

– A turtleneck under a slip dress for unexpected sophistication. 

 

Bonus: Layering helps transition pieces seamlessly from day to night.

– Cuff sleeves on shirts and jackets for a relaxed feel.  

– Half-tuck your shirt for effortless cool.  

 

Stylist Secret: These small adjustments make clothes look like they fit better, even when they don’t.

– Try tonal dressing in varying shades of one color

Remember: You don’t need bright colors to make an impact, sometimes contrast in textures is enough.  

 

6. Tailoring Makes All the Difference

  

Even affordable clothes can look expensive with proper fit: 

 

– Hem pants to the perfect length  

– Take in waists for better silhouette  

– Adjust sleeve lengths as needed  

 

Worth Knowing: Many tailors offer basic alteration services at reasonable prices.  

 

7. Wear It With Confidence

 

The most important styling trick? Own your look. Stand tall, smile, and remember, the best accessory is self-assurance.

It’s a mix of classic couture and editorial drama,  from the high neckline and sheer sleeves to the textured layers that hugged her figure like art. With her soft makeup and swept-back fringe, Tolu turned brown, an often overlooked color into the new luxe. After this look, earthy tones have never looked more desirable.

5. The chocolate-brown outfit 

 

Now this is super stylish!  It’s a matching top and pants set, kind of like a jumpsuit but with separate pieces.  The top is a snug, long-sleeved shirt with a slightly low neckline.  The pants are skinny and go all the way down to the ankles.The fabric looks smooth and shiny. Her makeup added pretty natural to this look, focusing on enhancing her features. Tolu is wearing simple and elegant all in one piece.
