Simple styling tips (TikTok & Pinterest tested)

  • Fit matters. Leggings should be thick and squat-proof.
  • Go matte. Matte fabrics look polished — skip the shiny stuff.
  • Balance volume. Fitted knit + relaxed blazer = effortless.
  • One belt. Belts make knits look tailored instantly.
  • Two-color rule. Stick to 2 colors for a luxe look.

Care tips

  • Wash active pieces inside out on gentle.
  • Air dry or low heat to keep shape.
  • Steam knits to remove creases.
  • Replace worn sneakers — shoes age the whole outfit.
