Top Things Off with a Long Jacket or Vest
The extra length helps create the illusion of a long, lean frame. It also gives any outfit an elegant feel, even if the other pieces are all super basic.

Swap Sneakers for Pointy Toe Flats
Sure, we love a good pair of comfy kicks, but sleek flats are much more dapper. A pointed toe captures the vibe of a classic pair of pumps (minus the painful toe squishing) and looks powerful and sophisticated for a refined finishing touch.

Opt for a Tailored Blazer
Feeling schlubby? That’s nothing a crisp, fitted blazer can’t fix. Push up the sleeves if you want to lean on the casual side or pop the collar to go full on prepster.
Try a Standout Belt
Simply tucking your tee into your jeans will help tidy your outfit, but adding an attention-grabbing belt is even better. Look for super-shiny or extra-large buckles, interesting textures and prints to amp up the fun.

Put on the Glitz
When in doubt, something sparkly is pretty much guaranteed to make you feel fancier. Go small with a crystal statement necklace or turn it all the way up with a sequin blazer. Don’t worry about being too out-there; your casual base layer will keep you down-to-earth.
