3. Don’t over Accessorise
Knowing when you’re wearing enough accessories is a key way to looking super stylish without trying too hard! If you keep layering them on, it can easily take the stylish look away from outfit as there becomes so much going on it’s hard to know where to look! Less is definitely more here.
4. Find a Fashion Inspiration
Which celeb style do you just adore? Is there anyone who you often see pictures of and instantly think ‘I must have that piece’? If not, now’s the time to find one! Look at celeb style and narrow it down to those who you particularly like and who has a similar style to your own. There are lots of celebs who hardly ever try too hard with their style, so there’s plenty out there you can use as inspiration!
5. Add a Pair of Black Heels
Unlike many shoes out there, black heels are one kind that are super versatile and can be worn with pretty much outfit you own. They’re one of the easiest ways to looking super stylish, for sure! If you go down this route you’ll never have to worry about looking like you’re trying too hard!

6. Choose Two or Three Colours
Trying to incorporate heaps and heaps of different colours into your outfit is a sure way to looking like you’ve tried too hard. So with that said, it’s great to choose two or even three colours per outfit as this will ensure you don’t end up taking it too far! For example, black, white and red (black pants, red blazer and a white handbag) are three great colours that work really well together in an outfit.
7. Know when Enough is Enough
As tempting as it might be to add something extra to your outfit, it’s important to know when enough is enough and to just go with what you’ve got! If you start over-thinking it, you’ll probably end up adding lots of unnecessary things to your outfit and it will appear super convoluted and busy. Instead, recognise when you’ve got a really good thing going and leave it at that!
