On a busy day, we just want to quickly throw on an outfit and be ready to go. Basic black blouse/tee and blue jeans are often the trusty pieces we tend to grab. Today, I want to share with you some tips and tricks to make sure that even in the most basic and simple pieces, you still look fashionable and chic.

The best part? These looks can take us everywhere: from grocery store to airport, from a weekend get-together to a night out. And of course, all these basics can be easily mixed and matched with other bright or printed number in your closet.

Miranda Kerr used accessories to “do the trick”: A pair of red/navy striped espadrille made the worn-year-round black and denim blue combo instantly spring-ready; Glamorous cat-eye sunglasses and a structured leather bag polished up her look.

Kate Moss chose basics head-to-toe, but the details made her look stand out: from the half tucked-in top to the distressed details and roll-up hems of her jeans to her perfect tailored blazer.

Last two tips–keep the proportion right: slouchy boyfriend jeans need a well fitted cropped blazer while body-hugging bottoms call for easy breezy blouses or boxy jackets; Show some skin when you are in a tom-boy ensemble: roll up your jeans to show the slim ankles or choose a deep V-neck top to add a hint of sexiness.

As the third and final part of “leather jacket styles” series, this entry is about how to style it with casual everyday pieces. It may sound easier, but I personally think it’s the hardest one. Compared to the trendy printed dresses and bold eye-catching pieces we shared in my last two posts, laid-back items need more effort to reach the “effortlessly”chic level while reflecting your own personality.

For basic combinations like leather jacket and jeans, the best way to make it more “yours” is through details and accessories. Take today’s two looks for example: the retro round sunglasses, edgy arrow necklace, oversized tote and printed pumps give Nichole Richie’s leather jacket and jeans combo an urban bohemian vibe which the star is best known for; whereas the distressed details on the jeans, classic striped tee, ankle booties and understated practical messenger bag reflect Alessandra Ambrosio’s off-duty, casual yet polished style.

Take a hint from them, add accessories to give your basics more character!

The first time I fell in love with army clothing was when I saw this look of Tanya Ilieva. With a splash of neon, the camo looks so sweet, sexy and chic. Clearly, the military trend is still around, from army jacket to camouflage shirt and jeans, we constantly spot it on celebrities and trendsetters.

Compared to the relaxed camo pants or skinny jeans, jacket and shirt are much easier for many of us to pull off. The tip to wear this style is adding feminine elements to balance the masculine vibe of the top, like the mini skirt on Miranda Kerr and colored pumps on Selena Gomez (above). Then use casual pieces or accessories to echo the laid-back and carefree vibe, like the ankle booties and distressed jeans on the two ladies above. Extra bonus for finishing your look with a hint of glamour, like Miranda Kerr’s gold sunglasses and Selena Gomez’s silver cuff (great style here).
