While trends might come and go, we can look to some of our favorite style stars for timeless advice on how to look your chic best. Here are 6 tips from celebrity stylists and fashion icons alike:
Be strategic about how much skin you show
To look sexy yet chic, keep it mysterious. Show off one small part of your body at a time. So, if you show off your legs, keep yourself covered on top.

Nothing beats a button-down jeans
Make like Marilyn, and wear a classic button-down with jeans or even a ball gown.
Choose bright accessories
If you tend to wear neutrals like black and navy, up your game with bright accessories. A cherry red bag will liven up any neutral outfit.

Wear the right length pants hem
Wearing pants that are the wrong length for your shoes is a big fashion no-no. Get your pants hemmed in either flat or heel height.
Wear a scarf
The scarf is the ultimate accessory. Keep one in your purse to throw on for a complete transformation of your look.
Dress for your shape
Ignore trends that don’t suit your shape. If you’re petite and curvaceous, for example, avoid columnar shapes. Instead, choose a defined waist and hem just above the knee.
