If you clicked on this article, you are our favorite type of fuzionista! You are the person in the room who is often (proudly) overdressed. When your friends tell you to “just be casual,” you are perplexed. A hot pink coat is casual, right?
You have accepted the fact that you are the glam friend and that is just fine! Read on to get even more tips on how to make your wardrobe extra af (just like you), starting with your not-so-basic basics.
Silks and satins
Instead of purchasing a simple button-up blouse, opt for a silk or satin blouse instead. Silks and satins are no longer a trend – they are closet staples. These fabrics add instant elegance to your outfits, whether it be for work or a night out. And when well taken care of (dry-cleaned and stored correctly), they last for ages.
Opt for pointed toe flats
While ballet flats are great go-to’s, they can be quite basic. When hunting for your next pair of work flats, go for a pointed to instead of a rounded toe. The pointed toe is reminiscent of a stiletto shoe, so it gives you the look of heels without the foot pain.
Pair gloves with your LBD
Elbow-length gloves were a major trend during SS2020 NYFW. Seen at the Savage x Fenty show and the Tommy x Zendaya show, coordinating gloves are the best way to add flair to an otherwise simple little black dress. Channel your inner 90’s supermodel with this fun and fancy trend.
Wear a statement coat with a fun pattern
Statement coats in vibrant hues (pinks, yellows, purples) have been all the rage lately! Take it a step further with a fun pattern or print like polka dots, zebra prints, or a geometric pattern.
Pair your trench coat with statement boots
The trench coat; a timeless classic that we all own and cherish. Looking for ways to transform your beloved trench? Splurge on a fun pair of boots Never again will you be lost in the sea of trenches. These coats pair seamlessly with thigh-high boots, especially in a vibrant color like hot pink.
Add fun hosiery to your heels
Socks and sandals have proved themselves to be the never-ending trend that we love to hate. Ditch the mental photo of your uncle in his favorite Docker’s and dingy white(ish) socks. Picture yourself in dazzling hosiery and cutesy, frilly socks paired with your favorite open-toed heels. Now you won’t have to put them away when summer ends!
