Effortless Outfit Formulas That Just Work

We’re not trying to reinvent the wheel here — just showing that the right colours, textures and silhouettes can make your outfits look far more elevated than they actually are. If “effortless” is your goal (and really, why wouldn’t it be?), then consider these styling ideas your go-to formula for getting dressed with ease and impact. Remember…

• Balance your silhouettes. If you’re wearing something fitted on top or bottom, contrast it with a looser piece on the other half — or throw on an oversized coat to pull everything together.

• Go tonal. If colour-matching stresses you out, stick to different tones of the same colour for an instantly polished look.

• When in doubt, add a sneaker. It’s the easiest way to finish off almost any winter daytime outfit.

• Accessories matter. Even the most basic look can be transformed with a belt or pendant necklace this season.
