[quote=Anonymous]Start your outfit with jeans, as long as they fit well, aren’t skinny, or overly distressed. A black, washed black, or medium blue, in a straight-leg silhouette with a high percentage of cotton compared to synthetic. Flares or a cropped bootcut could work and might help camouflage some extra weight, but your tailoring must be on point since they’ll look odd if not hemmed at exactly the right spot. A cotton straight leg is your safest bet.

On top, wear a beautiful cashmere or wool sweater in a color that’s flattering for you, which is probably not a neutral like black or ivory. Chunky knitwear with a shorter length is in, so stay away from any tunics so you don’t drown your waist. Fully tuck in the sweater or do a French tuck. Google videos on how to tuck in thick knitwear. You could also wear a silk shirt or sweater tank under a oversized wool blazer. If wearing a collared shirt, leave the collar inside the blazer instead of pulling it out. Tonal dressing could be chic here, like a dark green silk shirt under a jade blazer. Keep the color tone consistent in tonal dressing to keep your look harmonious (all cool tones, all warm, etc.).

Don’t wear a coat if you don’t need one. If it’s chilly, wear a leather jacket (slightly oversized, not tight) or a beautiful wool or cashmere coat in a flattering color.

For shoes, wear leather or suede mid-length boots with a square, western, or almond toe. Avoid boots that stop right at your ankle - they should go under your jeans. If wearing flares, go for a 70s style with a sky-high heel and platform to elongate your legs. Clean and condition your shoes.

If wearing a shirt and blazer on top, try an unstructured bag like a suede bucket or hobo. If wearing an oversized sweater, carry a more structured purse (think early 90s Coach leather bags with a top handle). Avoid all logos. Your purse and shoes are a good time to play around with color. For example, oxblood shoes and bag would look amazing with blue jeans and a ice blue sweater. Clean and condition your leather bag if it needs it.

Simple jewelry, nothing chunky or oversized.  Clean it if you haven’t recently.

An interesting but not distracting belt to emphasize your waist. Your bag, belt, and shoes should look harmonious but not match exactly, unless they’re all black.

Don’t spend an extraordinary amount of time on your hair or makeup. Nothing would be more embarrassing than to have your friend comment or point out your appearance ( that would be the opposite of effortlessly cool). Do a face mask and keep your makeup simple. No overdone eyeshadow. Don’t get a blowout unless you are hopeless at styling your hair. If your hair is long, loose waves or a bouncy 90s blowout looks great. Google hair tutorial videos for inspiration and tips. [/quote]
