Secrets of Style by Peony Lim

Consider using tones, not just colors

Instead of making up the outfits based on colors, consider using tones. Build your outfits around shades and tones of one key color like blue, red or grey. This way you will add sophistication and elegance to your look.


Silhouette matters

Envision your look as a whole image: make sure it is well-proportioned and balanced. Stay away from the akward silhouettes. So in case you decide to wear the wide leg trousers make sure to team them with the slim top, while the sequin-embellished skirt should be balanced out by the edgy tee for the chic and casual look.

Add a touch of humor to your look

Peony thinks that adding a touch of humor to your look brings chic vibe and French allure to it. Original hat, whimsical bag or statement shoes will make you stand out from the crowd. Peony likes to spice up her outfits with hats with ears and unique eyewear.

Style your looks with accessories

Even the simplest outfit can be brightened up with a stunning pair of shoes or a clutch and often can look even better than an intricate one. So, before you decide to invest money in trendy garments, consider filling your wardrobe with basic garments in classic style that could be easily played up with the striking accessories.

Nothing to wear? Opt for classics

Women with the flawless sense of style have always been associated with icons like Audrey Hepburn, Coco Chanel, Grace Kelly, Michelle Obama and Kate Middleton. Opting for clean cut garments in classic style they complemented them with statement accessories. Wearing classic garments like a perfectly tailored trouser suit, sundress with vintage feel and classic jeans and crisp white shirt ensemble is the safest option to look chic and stylish without trying too hard.
