Don't Zip It
Zippers add an instant edge to any outfit. For a more dramatic effect, leave them partially unzipped. We love how former editor-in-chief of Vogue Paris Carine Roitfeld did it here.
Lengthen Your Legs
Booties can oftentimes cut the leg, leaving you looking shorter. But booties with inverted cuts on the actual shoe, like these on Chiara Ferragni, will elongate your legs.
Show a Shoulder
Kate Mara (sitting next to E! Style Collective member Johnny Wujek, by the way) bundled up in the front row at the Max Mara show. She may be covered up but she still oozes sex appeal by draping the coat off her shoulder and revealing a low neckline. Keep both the layers the same color for a monochromatic look.
Brooch the Subject
It may be one of the most underestimated accessories of this century, but Vogue Japan's editor-at-large Anna Dello Russo jazzes up a schoolgirl ensemble with a large, embellished brooch at her waist.
Mix Prints
At first glance, Alexa Chung's look may seem basic. But don't be fooled--she's a master of mixing prints. Note the effortless pairing of a floral skirt with a leopard-print bag. Top your ensemble off with a textured shirt to complete the look.
Think About Fabrics
Model Lindsey Wixson softens up the edginess of a choker by choosing one made from a delicate, satin material.
Match Your Makeup
Freida Pinto was all smiles outside the Salvatore Ferragamo show. The Rise of the Planet Apes star emphasized her two-tone coat with a matching, deep-plum lip color.
Play With Proportions
Music creative Leigh Lezark looks warm and toasty in her woven poncho. The matching mini-skirt adds lines to the entire outfit, providing more dimension and structure to the overall look.
Show the Socks
A little peekaboo action, courtesy of colorful socks, will break up a monochromatic look.
Pay Attention to Complementary Colors
Salma Hayek's burgundy pants may look red, but they wield blue undertones that match her shirt. If all else fails, add a statement hat.
Bag It Up
Carrying multiple bags may seem inefficient, but style blogger Susie Bubble proves it's a great way to mix and match prints and colors. Plus, it's Milan Fashion Week; the more prints the better.
