Waistcoat - An essential piece of clothing, the waist coat is what your wardrobe definitely needs. Multiple ways of styling can be explored with them. Tip - a halter neck waistcoat will do wonders!

Chunky waist belt - It has the power to elevate a basic outfit.

Tailored trousers - A good pair of trousers, be it any colour, can flatter the whole outfit. Tip - Body suits are a trousers' partner in crime.

Silhouette - understanding which silhouettes suit you the best is very important. The only way to understand this is by experimenting with various types of fits and trends. Silhouettes shape and define your whole outfit.

Understanding your color theory - This does not mean that you need to only stick to colors that suit you. You can try the 80:20 ratio for this. For example, if blue is your color, then let 80% of your outfit can be ruled by blue and to color block the outfit, you can go ahead with a handbag, heels, or an overall with another color. Color blocking is a very effective way to make yourself stand out in the crowd.

Tip - Do not invest or stick with micro trends

Creating your version of the trend - Never copy-paste trends or try someone else’s outfit on yourself. Find a way to add your element to it! Wearing clothes that make you feel confident and happier is the way to go.

Good pair of heels - I am a heels girly and can't help but invest in a good pair of heels. According to me, strappy heels, pointed-toe and sling-back heels, and one embellished pair of heels are a must.
