Subtle accessories play a large role in defining chic fashions.
Nothing says "chic" like individual style worn with confidence. Finding a chic look that works with your lifestyle means having a sense of what makes you feel unique. Whether your preference is comfortable and laid back or tailored and classic, make it chic and sophisticated with a touch of individuality that reflects your personality.
Country Chic
Leave the rhinestones behind and put together an understated country look straight from the heartland. Wear low-heeled brown cowboy boots with a tiered skirt made of white linen or cotton knit. Keep it simple on the top with a cap-sleeved t-shirt worn untucked at the waist and finished off with a wide brown leather belt. Wear delicate jewelry such as silver stud earrings and a silver cuff bracelet.
For a casual look, wear your favorite blue jeans with cowboy boots in black or brown. Top it off with a comfortable black t-shirt. Accessorize with black sunglasses and wear your hair in a low ponytail. You can vary this look by wearing jeans with a white oxford blouse that's fitted at the waist with the sleeves rolled up.
Eco Chic
Yoga outfits aren't just for working out.
Natural styles don't have to mean looking like a hippie. Choose organic cotton, wide-leg yoga pants worn with a solid-color tank top. Opt for clothing in shades of deep beige, brown or black. Pant legs should hit at mid-calf and feature a wide, roll-down waist band for the quintessential slimming effect.
Tank top fabrics in fine-gauge cotton lend a casual effect to eco-chic outfits. Thicker, form-fitting tanks are more transitional and well-suited for daytime errands or an evening out. Accessorize with leather cord jewelry such as a necklace with a stone pendant.
Wear flat leather sandals with a cork heel or dress up your look peep-toe sandals with a wedge heel.
All Business
Garner more respect from associates with a modest neckline.
Close every deal with the power of persuasion in stylish business attire. Menswear made for women is especially sophisticated when worn with black high heels. Look for pinstripe suits with feminine touches, such as darts at the waist and bodice and a pencil skirt that defines the hips without appearing too tight. Blouses should feature feminine touches such as lace or scallops at the neckline.
Chic accessories are never garish when it comes to business attire. Wear a strand of pearls and matching earrings or opt for small gold hoop earrings and a thin gold necklace.
Chic Mom
Comfortable equals chic for moms with style.
Moms need clothes that work hard for style without sacrificing comfort. Look for the newest style in jeans that don't fit like plumber's pants. Modern cuts sit slightly higher at the waist, and legs are straight with a subtle flair at the bottom. Pair jeans with a floral-print blouse or layered t-shirts with detailed trim, such as buttons or bold seam stitches.
Choose classic black high-top or low-top basketball sneakers and carry a side-slung purse or baby bag in soft suede or leather. Wear accessories that won't get in the way of motherhood, such as stud earrings as opposed to large hoops that can attract tugs from toddlers. Polish your look with a quality wristwatch for dependability and stylish sophistication.
