3. Pair with accessories
Try making your own pair, always put accessories in your list. These make your style up and style down when needed. Just put the right kind of accessories with your outfit and it will work the best for you.

4. Colour coordinate
One sure way to look aesthetic is to pile on different color combinations. Everybody loves a splash of colors in their outfit but going too over the line makes it look creepy. Definitely try for monochromatic tone, monochrome doesn’t necessarily mean piling with the same color from head to toe but you can always try on with the different shades of the same color. You might as well opt for neutral colors, this works best in most of the cases but if it isn’t your thing then experiment with colors that you like and something that will suit you the best.
