To be genuinely chic doesn’t mean you should only wear expensive clothes; instead, you can create a stylish look even when you are on a budget. You just have to learn the basic principles of great style, from building a capsule wardrobe to understanding your proportions.

2. Pick clothing that compliments the shape of your body. Identify your body type (pear-shaped, apple-shaped, rectangular-shaped, inverted triangle body shape, and hourglass body) and go for the most flattering clothes for your silhouette.
3. Choose natural fabric clothing —like cotton, linen, silk, wool, and cashmere. They hold up over time, feel good on the body, and are eco-friendly. Try to stay away from polyester, nylon, rayon, and other synthetic fibers that most fast fashion retailers use —they’re not good quality and cheap-looking.
4. Shift to neutral colors (black, white, gray, cream, beige, and brown). These colors are the foundation of your wardrobe that can easily be mixed and matched. Also, neutrals are muted shades that make any outfit look elegant instantly.
5. Pay attention to details. Well-manicured nails, well-groomed hair, and simple makeup are easy ways to look polished and put together. And of course, maintain a good personal hygiene at all times.
These are some ways that chic women do that only take minimal effort. Learn to adapt them to look your best every day!
Stay Chic!
