Effortless. Chic. Elegant. Edgy. Cool. How to create and outfit that encompasses all five is easier than you think if you take note of these street style looks spied at the recent Fashion Week Shows in New York, London, Milan & . So how exactly do you capture that nonchalant, effortless style charm? Here are my top tips.

Artfully mix prints and textures - Embrace a dot, a stripe, a check and some skin - then mix them with denim, satin and leather to create a dressed-up / dressed-down vibe. In terms of accessories a bold coloured shoe (think red, white, mustard yellow, snakeskin). Layered jewellery, sleek sunglasses and a silk scarf make for interesting finishing details.
Go tonal- layering different shades of the same colour or similar tones always looks effortlessly chic. Warm tones like chocolate, caramel, mustard, hazelnut, rust and latte are proving popular for this coming season.
Keep It Simple In All Black - A statement shoe and a good bag rules - keep the rest simple and let your accessories do the talking.
Play with proportions. Oversized jumpers and jackets over slinky skirts and whimsical dresses for a dressed up / dressed down look that is right on point.
Well-Tailored - A tailored suit or chic separates that stand out for their exquisite tailoring. It’s all about fit and the details.
