The Old Hollywood and Classic Elegance fashion trends have recently taken the internet by storm. The style is the pillar of elegance, tradition and timeless fashion that definitely turns heads. Many people want to try this style, but many don’t know where to start. I have compiled an in depth guide to achieve the Old Hollywood style and be the fashion icon you deserve to be. 

 

Tip 1: Quality over Quantity

In the modern world of fast fashion, it can be so tempting to buy a piece that is cheap and looks nice from stores like Shein and Temu. However, those clothes weren’t made to last. They will inevitably fall apart, and lead to you getting trapped in the cycle of spending a little bit of money frequently for clothes that won’t add anything to your wardrobe. Instead of this frequent buying cycle, invest your money in a few high quality pieces. Remember, a little goes a long way. Buy neutral and classic pieces that you can mix and match. 

 

Tip 2: Pick Neutral and Solid Clothes and Accessories

Wearing neural and solid colours can automatically make any outfit look a lot more polished and elegant. They give a timeless and put together, yet effortless look. Overly flashy items can cheapen the look of the outfit. However, having a statement piece, paired with solid and neutral items, can make the outfit look fun and interesting. For example, having a cheetah print top, with black pants and coat. Dressing elegant does not mean dressing boring.

 

Tip 3: Stay Away From Microtrends

In the modern age of social media, trends are much more prevalent in peoples’ day to day life. However, they also pass quicker every year. By the time you go to the store to buy the new trendy clothes, Instagram and Tiktok will have already moved on. Sticking to timeless pieces will make you look classic and elegant. Some timeless pieces everyone should have in your wardrobe include items like straight leg black pants, trench coat, loafers, fitted tees, and solid coloured belts. 

 

Tip 4: Wear Flattering Silhouettes

Everyone has styles that they look amazing in, and some that don’t suit them as well. Wearing clothes that will compliment your figure and features will automatically make your outfit look more put together. Wearing tailored and fitted clothes can make a look go from good to great. Certain cuts can also create different illusions on the body. For example, turtlenecks draw the eye up and can make one look taller. Horizontal lines lead the eye across the body, and can make the body look wider. Understanding silhouettes can greatly improve any outfit.

 

These simple tips can help you achieve an elegant and sophisticated look that will definitely turn heads. However, at the end of the day, Classic Elegance and Old Hollywood can be anything you want it to be. Simply wear your outfits with confidence and pride.
