For women, it's hard to figure out what to wear on a daily basis. Especially in LA! In a city where there's always something to do—whether it's an event in the Hills, at one of the luxury hotels in Hollywood, or just enjoying time with friends at the beach—outfits need to stand out and make a statement. Here are 5 tips and tricks to help elevate your everyday fashion looks!

1. Basic Pieces

Every girl needs basic pieces like plain tank tops, crop tops, T-shirts, matching sweats, regular jeans, and skirts. Colors should range from neutrals to whites, browns, and black is a must!

2. Jewelry

Now that you have your basics, add jewelry! Some people think it's a sin to mix gold and silver jewelry, but it is not. Whoever made that rule is stuck in the past. We have evolved, sis, and it's okay to mix jewelry. Add stacked pieces to your basics for a more elevated look.

3. Heels

Get funky with your heels! Adding unique heels to a basic outfit really adds character. It gives the illusion that you put in a lot of effort, but they just don't know you rocked that basic outfit. I know that's right! Create, create, create, and be you! That is what fashion is at the end of the day. The people who are meant to get it will!

@gabbyxchanel on TikTok thrifted some pattern heels to add dimension to her basic classic outfit! We love it!

4. Glasses

Don't be afraid to add glasses to an outfit, whether they're sunnies or fake reading glasses. We love a moment that makes us look smart and hot all at the same time.

5. Purse

Don't forget your purse. It's essential and can be that one matching piece or a pop of color, even printed if you like! Don't be afraid to add textiles or prints—it's truly what we live for.
