- Work your capsule wardrobe. Make sure you have reliable wardrobe staples: an iconic little black dress, a pair of jeans that fit perfectly, a classic blazer, simple T-shirts and button-downs in neutral colors, and an effortless leather jacket (or denim jacket).
- Make sure your clothes fit perfectly. One trick to making any item of clothing look amazing is to hire a good tailor. Tailored clothing not only looks polished, but it also feels more comfortable.
- Learn how to balance proportions. Balancing proportions is about styling your outfits to create an overall aesthetic harmony. The way you achieve this is by wearing clothes that are fitted to your body shape.
- Find your personal style. Developing a signature style can take years, but you can get started by creating a moodboard. Remember that personal style is an experiment; you never know what amazing looks await you until you're in the dressing room.
- Show Skin Strategically. Looking truly sexy involves knowing what to bare-and what to keep under wraps —otherwise, where's the mystery? "Choose one-only one-body part and show it off," advises Jen Rade, stylist to Angelina Jolie.
- Round Up White Button-Downs. Take a classic cue from Marilyn Monroe and reach for a classic button-down. They elevate jeans and keep ball skirts from drifting into fantasy-land.
- Accessorize With Brights. If you've got a closet full of neutrals — be they navy, black, camel, or gray — add energy with boldly hued shoes and bags. Not only is a ruby red satchel more lively than ho-hum black, but it's also surprisingly versatile.
- Hem Your Pants for a Shoe Height. "The biggest mistake women make is wearing pants that aren't the right length for their shoes," says stylist Kate Young.

- Invest Wisely In A Watch. “A watch is like a piece of art,” argues Don Cochrane, managing director of British watch brand Vertex. “Choose it because you love it, not because you think it might make money.
- Don’t Shy Away From Colour. Whether it’s on casualwear or formalwear, indulge in a bit of colour. “Most men are unjustly scared of it – they’re intimidated by anything that isn’t navy or grey,” says menswear designer Oliver Spencer.
- Wear In Your Jeans Until They Are Yours. The all-time most useful cut of the world’s most popular garment, according to Alex Mir, co-owner of Sheffield-based label Forge Denim, is ‘slim-tapered’.
