The more I talk to women in my friends circle, at work or online about fashion, the more I hear: “I just want to dress easily and quickly. Be comfortable, but still look put together”. Aka, “How can I hit that effortless chic balance spontaneously?”
And I have to say- at least from my personal experience- anything effortless usually becomes so because you’ve first put the work in. Because you’ve taken the time to learn, tweak and perfect it until it became second-nature.
So, with that in mind, I’d like to share the things that I’ve personally tried and found useful for creating a breezy yet refined look. Because as much as I love getting glammed up, I do recognize that it’s not exactly suited for day to day!
And I hope they help you get there yourselves, that much more quickly and easily:

Know your shapes
It may be obvious, but knowing how to play with shapes can be a total style game changer. Especially since, once you grasp the basics, it requires little effort to apply!
A few examples of what I mean by “playing with shapes”:
- Pairing a wide, high volume top, with slim cut trousers
- Adding a large pair of hoop earrings to a square neckline top
- A high waist, vaporous mille-feuille skirt worn with a plain, stiff fabric crop top
- Sliding your top in your bottom’s waistband, to highlight your waist
- Applying contouring shades in different spots depending on your face shape
