CLEO’s Fashion Stylist/Writer Cheryl Chan answers all your burning fashion questions.
IT’S ABOUT THE FIT
The best style icons of all time like Audrey Hepburn and Jane Birkin (not you, Kanye) wore a uniform of simple silhouettes. They may not have sparked fashion trends, but never looked boring because their clothes always fit them phenomenally.
DETAILS MATTER
I believe that most of the time, it’s the details that set apart the meh from the amazing. The next time you’re shopping for a shirt, why not try something with extra design details instead of settling for a generic one? Ruffles and panels are my fave at the moment!
LAYERING IS YOUR FRIEND
Simple clothing can be interesting with some creative layering. Take advantage of the freezing office temperatures by layering a thin turtleneck under a cocktail dress or a corset over a tee. These are some of my styling secrets that ensure that Rachel from accounting won’t have the exact same look as me.
