Olivia Culpo has an enviable style, she is never anything less than perfect. She wears classic timeless pieces mixing them with the latest trends. While talking to In Style she said ''I like to have fun with current trends, but I also like to stick to staple elements that will never go out of style'' She went on to say ''I like a classic and simple look with a touch of glam'' If you are looking for a complete style makeover or just some inspiration I recommend to follow Olivia on instagram or search her on pinterest for some ideas on her amazing style. Olivia wears high street brands as well as designer, she is a regular shopper in Zara and H&M, Zara has really great pieces if you are shopping with a lower budget but want pieces that are really structured and look expensive. Olivia says that if you are going to splurge on an expensive item it should be a bag. The right expensive bag is going to last you many many years and it will elevate any outfit to look more expensive. Stick to a classic style bag like the Gucci marmont or a classic Louis Vuitton as they will never go out of style.
A basic camel over coat is a staple you should have in your wardrobe, Here she pairs it with a basic white tee, jeans, a classic bag and some trainers. You could elevate this look with a air of knee high or ankle boots or even some heels depending on the occasion.
Olivia sticks to a muted colour palette, Blacks, Whites, Camels, Greys. I think that is essential to make your outfit look more expensive. It is ok to play with some colour Olivia often throws some red into her outfits but it is very important to buy muted colours so its easier to mix and match all of the items in your wardrobe. You dont want to have a wardrobe filled with lots of colour but nothing to match each other.
A statement coat is a great piece to invest in like the leopard one above. Leopard print is a classic patten that has been in style for years and im sure will be for many more years to come. A grey over coat is also an excellent staple to invest in. It will always be in style and you can take it out every autumn and winter or all year round depending on the weather where you live.
Another tip would be to coordinate your outfits well. Like we see above if you add a tan belt into an outfit match your shoes to the belt or maybe your bag to tie your whole outfit together.
Black is always classic even when its dressed down casual with some trainers.
Blouses are your best friend. They are classic piece that will never go out of style. At the same time they can be sexy without showing skin (a lace blouse perhaps). the look good for work and a night out. Over all a very versatile piece and should add a few to your wardrobe.
The logo tee is a great style piece. Now for most of us D&G probably isn't in our budget unfortunately. But the high street has excellent quality logo tees. Try Topshop and Zara. For an online store I recommend Nasty Gal. They have an endless choice of logo tees and always have amazing discounts, most days they do 30-50% off (a shopaholics paradise). Some killer jeans are also a must have. For the high street Topshop is on top of my list for skinny jeans id go for the style Jamie. They are stretchy and comfortable while giving you a great shape its a win win. For jeans more like the style Olivia is wearing the mom jeans are a great option. If you are willing to spend a little more maybe opt for the Levi 501's.
Now you cant be a fashionista without a white shirt.
Invest in some oversized shades to make your outfit look classic and expensive.
