Understanding Proportions

This chapter focuses on the importance of understanding your body shape and how to use proportions to create flattering outfits. The speaker emphasizes that knowing your body shape allows you to identify what parts of your body you want to highlight and what you want to downplay. This can be achieved through clothing choices, such as choosing a looser t-shirt to create a more casual look or wearing a fitted top to accentuate your waist.

Signature Jewellery

This chapter highlights the importance of having signature jewellery pieces that you wear regularly. The speaker suggests having one or two pieces, such as rings, necklaces, or bracelets, that become a part of your personal style. These pieces can be anything from simple hoops to beaded jewellery or a charm bracelet. The speaker believes that wearing these pieces consistently will make them feel like an extension of your outfit and add a touch of personality to even the simplest looks.

Monochrome Outfits

This chapter advocates for the use of monochrome outfits as a simple and effective way to achieve a stylish look. The speaker emphasizes that monochrome outfits are a great go-to option when you're feeling lazy or don't want to put much effort into your outfit. By wearing a single colour palette, you can create a cohesive and put-together look, even if you're wearing casual pieces. The speaker also suggests adding a pop of colour with accessories, such as a bag or belt, to further elevate the look.

Mix and Match Aesthetics

This chapter encourages viewers to experiment with mixing and matching different aesthetics to create unique and stylish looks. The speaker specifically mentions the combination of formal and streetwear elements, such as pairing a hoodie with dress pants. This approach allows you to create a look that is both casual and chic, reflecting a "fancy chill" vibe.

Hairstyle

This chapter briefly touches on the importance of hairstyle in elevating a look. The speaker suggests that updos can be particularly effective in enhancing casual outfits, especially when wearing hoodies. While the speaker acknowledges that she personally struggles with styling her hair, she expresses her intention to explore hairstyles further in future videos.

0:00 I believe we've all seen that one girl who always looks so effortlessly stylish fashionable like she like the type of girl who would not be wearing anything special or anything that says I'm here but would still grab everyone's attention just because she's the one wearing it and she's wearing it in a manner that just fit her like a glove it just aligns so flawlessly on her if you've ever seen those type of girls and if you always wonder how did they do it you've come to the right video today I'm going to talk about elevated Basics how

0:47 to style simple outfits and Achieve that effortless cool girl look if you're noce Channel hi I'm Kulu welcome I'm a fashion design student on this channel I talk about everything related to fashion my life Vlogs makeup Beauty all the girly stuff but that doesn't mean you have to be a girl to watch it but that's mainly what I talk about so I have gathered a couple of notes it's not even half a page just to say this is what I think would would elevate your style would Elevate anybody's style

1:34 so let's just get straight into it so the first things first I want to talk about proportions I wholeheartedly believe that a cool girl all the time knows her body shape and knows exactly how to work with it she will know she will identify herself and she will pull out the most incredible outfits out of it so when I talk about proportions I mean it if you have a shorter torso looking a way to make your torso longer if you have short legs how to make yourself look like you have long legs or heels comfortable ones if you want to do that every day what parts of your body do you want to reveal what you want to reveal and what you want to not

2:20 do so that it creates a balance the way close fit you matters so so much so here's an example of that in this first outfit I'm basically wearing blue jeans white top white shoes very very simple but there is a way that I could you know like tweak it around and make it look better so first things first I changed the top that was tight fitting into the looser t-shirt I was trying to achieve a more casual baggy look basically decided to wear we a hoodie basically how I wear the shirt to be showing a little bit at the bottom matters so much more than if

3:07 I'm not showing that part of my t-shirt I feel like everyone does this at this point the second point to consider would be jewelry I literally have one word signature have one piece two pieces a whole set of jewelry rings necklaces that you will wear every day of your life like that is a part of you and that is a part of your identity ribbons Hoops beaded jewelry or an angel charm bracelet whatever it is I really believe people will just notice that you wear that all the time and that will literally just be like blend into your outfit and it will make not not a bsic outfit that everyone wears

3:55 but it's like it has a touch of you in it you know what I mean okay for example for me I always wear these small hoop Rings always always small Hoops I always have this necklace on I have these rings that I wear all the time sometimes I do like to switch them out but one thing that I will wear all the time is a watch ring this is one of my statement pieces so poop earrings and watch ring and also this like pearl ring I always have this on me and if I don't be worried I've also seen girls do is to put their earrings on their t-shirt and I find that so cool I don't really do that even though I tried in

4:42 like this specific video because I don't really feel like I'm the type to pull it off but yeah I just wanted to put that out there because I really do think that using earrings as pens is the cutest thing ever so the next thing would be monochrome I will die on this hill when I say monochrome is always the best go-to when you're lazy when you don't want anything to do with whatever just put on the same colors and get on with your day you can look put together or you can look casual and then when you put in your statement jewelry you will look 10 times better and to even add like the final touch the cherry on top wear like a pop of collar in this

5:28 case I'm adding a pop of colar with my red bag in which I think is so stinking cute another pop of color that I did would be wearing this brown belt I love a good brown belt like seriously I don't think I'll ever get enough of a brown belt this is also where I think you could go a bit crazy with the colors when it comes to belts I just want to say I haven't seen a lot of people wear belts that are like somewhat like interesting or like kind of unique if you want to dive deeper into that I think it's a very I think it's a very cool thing to do oh so mix and match Aesthetics one mix that I do all the time is a mix of formal and streetwear Casual it's like I'm chill but it's like

6:15 I'm like fancy chill and that's what I love to do wearing a hoodie with dress pants as well I do that a lot I also really want to talk about the importance of hairstyle and this one is something that I do not do and that I cannot do for the life of me for example with hoodies I think hoodies look so great when you have a up when you have an updo I also want to say wearing clips is super cute but yeah I really want to get into hairstyles a little more that is something that I plan on doing this year so that'll be it for this video I really hope that you enjoyed it they had fun and that you learned a little one thing or two if you did like this video I would appreciate a thumbs
