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!

Embrace Spring: Same Palette, Different Looks

The art of accessorizing-helenhou.com-red jacket, denim staples and  statement shoe inspired by Stephanie Lacava and Olivia Palermo

A bright cheerful jacket is always a great way to embrace spring. We shared sunny yellow here, today let’s talk about coral-red. These two stylish outfits featured above, which can be easily adapted into our everyday wardrobe, happened to have the same color scheme: coral-red, black and denim blue.

It’s not a coincidence: coral is such an eye-catching color, to tune down the loudness, basic black is perfect. But red and black combo can be too serious and mature, that’s why we need the never-fail denim.

Besides the balance of colors, we also need some equilibrium in terms of proportions: pair shorts with long sleeve top, toughen up soft bottom with structured blazer, team an A-line coat with skinny bottom, show off beautiful footwear with ankle length pants.
