An oversized shirt is a great way to add balance to your proportions. Keep it simple and casual by tucking in your shirt and completing your look with a pair of colour popping glam heels.

Look 2:

Tomboy – Ciara, Evelyn Lozada and Amanda Du Pont

Go 90s cool by pairing your jeans with timberland or combat boots. Opt for the looser boyfriend style cut and either match a baggy printed sweater with your jeans like Ciara or go all the way 90s by wrapping a checked print shirt around your waist.

Look 3:

Laura Govan, Dineo Moeketsi and Micah Gianeli

Keep it classic with a modern twist by pairing a simple top with a striking blazer and finishing off the look with elegant heels. This works well for both day and night time events and is the easiest way to achieve smart casual chic. An embellished top will boost even the simplest outfit, as seen on Laura Govan, when you don’t know how to command the attention in the room adding a bit of shimmer is the best way to go. Complete the outfit with some accessories and get ready to embrace all the compliments that are sure to follow.
