Regardless of your age, you can look chic and elegant without spending a fortune on your wardrobe essentials with these easy outfit tricks!
1. Smart Casual
If you are not sure what to wear, always remember that you can never go wrong with the classic heels, blouse and pleated skirt look. The secret of a traditional outfit like this is to personalize it by adding in your favorite color or jewelry (such as a pearl necklace or ring). Not to mention, an outfit like this is appropriate for any event and looks delicate and timelessly elegant, even though it won’t cost a fortune.

Midi dresses and skirts have made a huge comeback since the past years and it will probably never go out of style. They are just the perfect length to show off the natural shape of your legs (especially pencil and A-line dresses) without showing too much and they go with any clothing item from blouses to casual T-shirts.

A great way to spice up your regular outfit is to add plus layers. Besides it is a practical option for the colder seasons because it can keep you warm throughout the day, it also creates a more interesting look.

Instead of a white blouse, choose a burgundy or a royal blue one or switch up the classic beige trench coat with a dusty pink one. Although these might not seem to be big changes, a pop of color will have a youthful vibe to it.
