layer maybe I should buy the new one no you don't have to buy the new one you can work with something that you already have in your wardrobe use this trick and you can fix the proportions and you can elevate your style from something like slobby to absolutely elegant and Chic now the style trick number two and this is something that we call the inverted V Line the power of Illusions so I take the same outfit one and I take the same style trick the first one when I uh tuck the part of my fabric underneath the bra uh the part of blouse underneath the bra and this is something that helps us uh to create an inverted V Line this trick does wonders because this is something that makes your silhouette and this is important appear slimmer and more put together this is such a very easy trick the

the front tuck it doesn't matter well actually it does matter because it depends on your figure of your uh depends on your body shape and by the way this is something that we are going to teach you and to learn in the style Club in the upcoming months but this video is not about that so here's the thing pairing wide leg jeans with an oversized shirt that double oversized look just ends up looking uh sloppy because there is no definition believe me this kind of a double uh oversizing looks good only on fashion icons on Instagram if we're talking about real life situations like it doesn't look that good believe me so I add some definition to my waistline to CL it up a bit and I don't forget about rolling up those sleeves now for the big reveal and here we are moving to the most important part of today's video so this is stle hack number four safety pin to adjust your jeans length and all those extra super long jeans you've been seeing them everywhere especially on Instagram and the most frequently Asked question here like is it even possible to wear that long jeans in real life so the answer is yes you just have have to know all those style Secrets stylish people use so all you need is just two safety pins I am showing you right now exactly how to pin your jeans or pants to protect the ham and rock them like your favorite fashion bloggers just secure the pin from the inside grabbing a small beit of fabric and boom you'll see the difference I'm laying out the before and after for you this is how the fashion girls Instagram girls are doing it the secret is off you

on how to mix how to combine colors in the style Club so the style Club is this awesome project we're running together with Di and go maybe You' heard something this is my colleague and and really good friend so we are running this style the style Club project together it's been already a year since we started and I can tell you that the success stories the style journey of our members is just mindblowing I'm so proud of this project so if you want to know something more about the style Club please find the link in the description box you're so welcome to join our style community and our education sline SL sty Community project outfit three and style hack number five the magic of chrisis so this is our patient zero situation clothes that are just worn not styled so I'm going to skip the repeat lesson on Tucks and sleeves uh rolls well you know the quick fixes for getting those proportions right yeah style your clothes not just toss them on randomly okay so now the key trick for this specific outfit creases on your pants it's more about the how than about the what so how you iron them your pants I mean makes all the difference so lay your pants flat on a table to iron and you end up with crises along the side seams which just makes them look flat and wider okay but if you iron your pants by folding them in half now that's where the magic happens it's like giving your pants a slip effect because they don't look that flat anymore they are more like 3D they look slimmer okay sure the difference might seem tiny like we're talking tiny volume changes here but trust me the overall look is all about those little details that when add it up make a huge difference it's those nuances that take your style from just okay to absolutely spot on outfit four and a style hack number six which is using an earring as a brooch so think of any pin earring maybe a statement one that you have in your jewelry box that you can use as a broo so uh what I mean here look at the outfit 4 we are on the same style Journey here going from just throwing on clothes to actually styling them you've probably seen that old trick a million times where uh you use a hair elastic to Bunch up your sleeves I won't bore you but that again but the real trick and the real magic happens when we introduce some of the like small accessories details and this is something that I am talking about okay so if you've been keeping up with me on Instagram you've probably caught this trick a few times but take another look at this outfit a gold earring uses a brooch acts like a breach and this is important bringing together the top and the button of my outfit and these kinds of details that pull pull the whole look together making it feel cohesive elegant and Chic it's all about thinking outside the box and getting creative your style should reflect your personality not just like be about the clothes you wear to stay warm and now back to the topic of this video so uh I switched out a black uh basic handbag for something a bit more eye-catching a salmon pink one and by the way I have I have linked all the fashion pieces I'm using here in this video I have linked everything you want to know in the description box so again no no questions we you have all the answers in the description box so here's a little secret for you colors work wonders seriously okay I know talking about colors can get pretty deep and serious I cannot tell you just throw some colors and you will elevate your look no it doesn't work like that because it's always about Hues undertones and shadows it's not that easy but you just think a a bit wider black bag or just a basic wardrobe in in neutral colors is not the answer to everything just think about that okay by the way I highly recommend you

description box outfit five and style hack number seven Broach magic again but this time we are transforming your silhouette within earring so here's another cool way to use earring to spice up your outfit get another little style trick for you here so this same earring but this time is a brooch to transform my outfit from kind of shapeless to a more defined feminine X shape so the original outfit is absolutely okay I'm pretty happy with the starting point because I think it's cute nothing bad here but if you want to elevate your style and give it some kind of a personal touch this is what you want to do the tutorial is very easy I'm showing you what you want to do with your bro and after I posted this outfit on my Instagram I've got some comments some questions like do the earrings stay on securely could it fall off so believe me I want to answer here like believe me trust me I've spent entire day out and about in this outfit moving like moving actively I'm showing you my video uh and nothing slipped off so okay maybe it all depends on the structure of your brooch of your um earring but believe me in my case it worked perfectly I think that the key here just don't grab too much fabric you don't want to put too much pressure on it especially if it's uh like knitwear or a lightweight fabric do that and everything will be just fine now the last outfit for today and the style hack number eight which is safety pin to adjust your silhouette okay so here's our patient zero outfit it's pretty basic now nothing special at all and again the double oversized dilemma so we have wide leg pants here paired with an oversized shirt and this is something that creates like a kind of a sloppy uh Vibe but here's a quick fix I take a safety pin and gather a bit of the shirt from the inside this little tweak ditches the um oversized wipe this is how it looks from the inside and this is how it looks on me got to I'm loving it to be honest I Dro this even without layering it up but the goal here so for you to understand the goal here is to craft a more polished silhouette and carve out an inverted V Line something that I have explained you in the beginning of today's video uh which just stretches out my figure just look at the before and after looks okay and the last one the same outfit and the style trick number nine which is lightweight scarf under the Blazer now for another neat trick I tuck my scarf under the Blazer this move cuts down on the bulk here's the before and after first how the outfit looks with the scarf just casually throwing on and
