Basics are the building blocks to ''chic''

Chic outfits are pretty basic. Not a lot of loud and attention-grabbing pieces. A calm and understated look paired with a quiet confidence. What creates these looks? BASICS. And a monotone colour scheme. Making use of colours like grey, black and white. Then adding pops of colour to add character if you will. Its key to make a chic outfit look thoughtless and simple almost a casual ''what I had lying around the house''. But there is a pretty masterful composition technique that takes place. It starts with what I would like to call a base board or a dish. The same way you put food on a plate is the same way you put clothes on your body. A dish needs to look appetising, colour combos that make the entire dish look enticing. A great example of this is South Africa's seven colours Sunday lunch. Clothes should be strategically put together to put together a beautiful ensemble that looks appealing. It's Simple all you need are these items: A simple black pant that fits well, a blank white t-shirt, A blank black t- shirt, long sleeves in whatever colour, a black crewneck or jersey of any sorts and a pair of blue jeans that fit well. That's the base from there you can decide if you want to add extra flavour to the fit. Maybe have black jeans a white t-shirt and a turquoise sweater with gold or silver jewellery and a white sneaker with a versatile silhouette like the Nike air force one. Simple and clean. Also keep proportions in mind.
