A common mistake is wearing a basic t-shirt and jeans without any styling. Pairing ankle-length jeans with chunky trainers is another misstep. The bulky trainer makes the legs appear wider and adds no shape.
5 Things You Should NEVER Wear | Personal Stylist
The first key tip is to avoid wearing chunky trainers with ankle-length jeans, as they can make legs look stumpy. Instead, opt for a t-shirt with a looser, longer sleeve and a crew neck. Tucking it in with a belt creates a defined waist and flattering silhouette. Adding a sweater over the top adds warmth and structure. A more delicate shoe, like a slingback, can elongate the legs, showing off the ankle and creating the illusion of height. Showing the ankle with ankle-length jeans is a much more flattering choice than cutting it off with bulky footwear.
By simply swapping out the t-shirt and shoes, the outfit transforms into something much more chic and shapely. Adding sunglasses also elevates a basic look, bringing a bit of drama while keeping the outfit classic.
Next, let’s talk about blazers and jeans. Without proper styling, the outfit can appear dull, and mismatched colors can make you look shorter. For example, a blazer that’s too long and jeans that are too short can throw off proportions, especially if you're petite (like me at 5’5”).
To make it work, change the jeans to a fitted option, such as leggings or skinny jeans, in the same color as the blazer. A monochromatic look elongates the body, which is great for petites. Adding a kitten heel also adds height and lengthens the legs, improving the overall look. Unbuttoning the blazer can further make your legs appear longer, giving the outfit an effortlessly chic vibe.
The classic white shirt and jeans combo can also miss the mark if not styled correctly. When left untucked, the shirt looks messy and shapeless. But with some styling, it becomes flattering. Tuck in the shirt just slightly to create the illusion of a smaller waist. Pairing this with straight-leg jeans and a mule instead of a trainer elongates the leg and makes the outfit more flattering overall.
Tucking in the shirt and choosing the right shoe, like a mule, makes a huge difference in how the outfit looks. The comparison is clear: a tucked shirt and mule instantly transform a basic look into something more put-together.
Styling magic works wonders. It enhances your figure, creates a flattering silhouette, and most importantly, helps you feel confident and empowered. Adding sunglasses, no matter how simple the outfit, gives it a touch of glamour and sophistication.
Now, about the cable knit jumper and jeans combo. It’s an easy, classic look, but without some styling, it can fall flat and look dated. By tucking in the jumper, you can define the waist and make the legs appear longer. Cropped trousers work well when you show the waistband, creating a more elongated appearance. Layering a shirt underneath the jumper adds dimension and interest. Pairing with bulky trainers works because the contrast between slim ankles and large shoes helps balance the proportions, making the legs look slimmer.
Finally, for the corporate office look, it’s essential to make workwear feel chic and flattering. A cardigan and tailored ankle-length trousers can be styled perfectly with a few tricks. Layer a t-shirt under the cardigan for extra interest, as cardigans can look outdated if not styled properly. Belt the cardigan at the waist to define your shape, and leave the buttons below the belt open to add curve around the hips. Add kitten heels to elongate the legs and show off the ankles. Although mules may not be practical for every work environment, they can transition the look from office to evening while also helping to elongate the legs.
The key takeaway is that the right shoes can make or break an outfit, especially when paired with trousers. Cinching the waist with a belt or tucking in tops helps create a curvier, more defined silhouette. And adding accessories like sunglasses completes the look, pulling everything together.
