From the modern day muses, Kate and Pippa Middleton and Kim Sears, to the golden girls of the past such as Marilyn and Coco Chanel… there are a lot of women out there that are channelling that timeless classic look.
For that oh-so-effortless put together look that our favourite A-Listers rock so well, the key to that cool but classy look is simplicity.
The easiest way to embrace your inner chic is to choose pieces that have a timeless essence. If you look back at the key fashion influences of the past, a lot of the women, and men, are wearing pieces that have a simple structure.

From shirts to blazers to long-line coats to straight trousers – these are the key items that are here to stay. These items have been around forever – they have just been altered in a more modern way.
If you recently watched Wimbledon, you’ll have seen none other than Kim Sears – the epitome of cool. Kim kept it elegant in a shift white dress from Zara – teaming it with basic shoes and a simple bag. Not only did she have an air of sophistication around her – but she also looked effortless and simple.
If you’re a fan of the royals then you’ll know the nations favourite Princess Kate is the Queen of timeless fashion. Just look back at any of her looks and you’ll see that smart yet savvy look which so many influencers have rocked. Her outfit at Princess Charlotte’s christening was modern due to the basic chicness of the coat – but it was also timeless and will remain like that forever.
The key to dressing like these ladies of class is to stay away from ‘trends’ which might be a phase that lasts a few months. Try items that are basic but have a structure.
Shirts are a great way to smarten up an outfit. If you’re not a fan of shirts, try a sleeves shirt – it’s less formal but still screams sophistication.
A long coat is always a great way to add class to an outfit. Team with a pair of pumps or killer heals and voila – a chic but simple outfit.
My next top tip would be to try an a-line skirt. Showing off your legs is fine but wearing a long flowy skirt which pinches in at the waist is flattering for all figures and can be worn day or night.
Last but not least – if skirts are not your thing then invest in a pair of cigarette trousers. Not too baggy and not too skinny. These are great to throw on with any top and are also great for the office or that weekend getaway.
Have a look in your wardrobe – you will be surprised at the staple items you have.
