If you don’t feel like putting effort into an outfit but don’t want to wear your ratty old tee, try wearing a button-up. The classic button-up offers all the comfort of your T-shirt without looking like you didn’t try. To look extra pulled-together, copy Tanesha Awasthi by tucking in the front of your button-up into your pants.

When it comes to a basic outfit that needs an extra oomph, sometimes all you need is a bold lip and sunglasses. Swiping on a crimson lipstick and throwing on a pair of sleek shades is perfect for when you’re in a rush. You’ll accomplish an Old Hollywood look in just seconds, and you don’t even need to worry about doing a full face of makeup. Just take a cue from French designer Jeanne Damas, who has mastered upscale casual.

Wear Oversize Earrings //

Bold earrings have a way of making any outfit look intentional. Jewelry in general always makes an outfit seem more deliberate, but a statement earring will take your look to the next level—especially if your hair is pulled back for a more sophisticated appeal like Jenny Walton. Statement earrings are already extravagant, perfect for balancing out your simple outfit. The contrast between your fancy earrings and laid-back outfit will say “street style star,” not “I just woke up.”

Imagine French Vogue editor Emmanuelle Alt’s outfit with sneakers instead of heels. Not the same effect, right? Alt’s super-casual boyfriend jeans and oversize button-up blouse is transformed by her sleek pumps, making her outfit effortlessly chic. So if you’re feeling a little too casual, throw on a pair of heels to immediately elevate your look.

A blazer offers all the structure your basic outfit needs. The formality of the blazer immediately elevates your look by giving it a professional appeal that makes your tee and jeans look less grungy. In fact, the combo gives you an effortlessly cool vibe—who doesn’t want that? Take a note from Russian digital entrepreneur and street style star Miroslava Duma, who takes her look to the next level by draping the blazer over her shoulders.
