Stock up on blazers , skinny or straight-leg jeans, chino shorts, cardigans, crew-neck sweaters , button-downs, polos, t-shirts, and tank tops. Stripes add flavor to an otherwise solid-color outfit. Small polka dots are okay as well, in moderation. [1] X Research source -
Layer! Wear button-downs under sweaters or blazers and cuff the sleeves. Put a blazer or cardigan over a t-shirt or tank-top. Experiment with layering and see what works for you. [2] X Research sourceAdvertisement -
Belts can come in handy when tying an outfit together. Make sure to own at least one brown and one black leather (or faux leather) belt. -
Wear sports bras on a regular basis, unless you prefer regular bras or a regular bra is absolutely necessary. Sports bras are comfortable and make your chest appear a little smaller. [3] X Research source -
Acquire some boat shoes , loafers, canvas shoes, and dark-colored or tan flip-flops. -
Find a nice watch that you can wear every day. Also, invest in a good pair of sunglasses (Ray Bans, aviators, etc.). -
Don't be afraid to wear some funky socks. They can be easily hidden from sight, or you can roll up your pant legs to show them off. [4] X Research source -
Purchase a messenger bag or purse to carry things around when needed, but don't have it with you all the time. Buy a wallet which you can slip into your back pocket when you leave your bag behind.
