Effortless style is meant to be—well, effortless. Yet, why does it feel so impossible to accomplish? Every time you attempt a look that someone like Chloe Sevigny would approve of, you fall flat. Yup, looking effortless is no easy task, which is why I wanted to bring you my own guide on how to ace effortless style. Read on and let me know what you think in the comments section. What does effortless style mean to you?
Find Your Effortless Look Idol- Whose style do you absolutely covet? Is it Emma Watson’s chic yet girly style, or are you more of a fan of Sofia Coppola’s Parisian inspired looks? Whoever it is, look to them for help. Find your favorite outfits that they’ve worn and create a collage. Try to emulate them the best you can.
Indulge in Basics- Effortless style is all about making basics look fabulous and classic. Invest in a pair of simple skinny jeans that make you look chic. A white button down also comes in handy when you’re rocking effortless style. I even love a plaid shirt.
Think Chic- Aim for classy, chic looks. Simplicity is where it’s at when it comes to effortless style. Just check out Emma Watson in her look below. When you ‘think chic,’ you become chic.
It’s All in The Details- To ace effortless style you need to remember the details. It’s all about the little things. Rock a cuffed jean with a half-tucked in plaid shirt. Drape your sweater over your shoulders and make it seem like you barely thought about it.
Don’t Be Afraid to Get Messy- Your effortless look is not meant to be perfect, so it’s okay if you have a hair or two out of place. Having a slightly wrinkled shirt would even be acceptable. Get a little messy and don’t be afraid of imperfection.
