Short evening dress + cute jacket = 9-5 chic

1. Pairing your sheath with a blazer or light jacket creates the illusion of smart-looking separates.
2. Choose opposite cuts to balance proportions: a slouchy boyfriend blazer works well with a fitted frock, while a trim, cropped blazer is the perfect partner to an A-line shaped dress.
3. A belt, either over the blazer or directly over your dress, adds a figure-flattering note.
4. Finally, slip on some hosiery. Matching your tights to your dress isn’t a strict style rule, but dark tones are the most professional looking. If you’re unsure, stick with a black opaque pair, which lengthen and slim legs.

Maxi dress and autumn essentials = casual and cool

1. A thin, cottony turtleneck provides an ideal base without bulk. Tops in white, gray or black are a safe bet and work with almost any dress.
2. Add a cardigan. Unstructured shapes and longer-length knits keep the boho vibe of an ankle-grazing hemline. Look for one with a tie belt, or add your own to reign in all that volume and create a much-needed waistline.
3. The best footwear for such a feminine silhouette is a pair of rustic flat boots. They add just the right tough-girl touch.
