Tone It Down: Neutrals and earth tones will be all the rage in 2019, so test them out with a muted palette featuring a blazer, a simple tee, trousers, and white booties. (Photo via Christian Vierig/Getty)
One and Done: When you don't have time to think, follow this style setter's lead and go for your most statement-making dress like this one with the mixed patterns. Simply toss it on, add a pair of ankle boots, and you're all set. (Photo via Claudio Lavenia/Getty)
Red Hot: An easy way to dial up your favorite dress is to incorporate a bold coat and fun accessories for serious impact. (Photo via Christian Vierig/Getty)
Layer On: Tossing on a utility jacket is a no-fail way to make whatever you're wearing feel that much cooler. We're loving it over a plaid skirt and knee-high boots. (Photo via Christian Vierig/Getty)
Suit Up: If you need something easy yet polished, don't underestimate a statement suit. Just like this fashion girl is showcasing, the perfect style only needs a simple pair of shoes to achieve that "power look" in an instant. (Photo via Edward Berthelot/Getty)
Matchy Matchy: Going for a coordinating set is a street-style-approved hack for instant polish. For 2019, ensure you're also adding of-the-moment accessories like a white bag, mules, and a belt. Pro Tip: Zara is actually bursting with a variety of stylish coordinating sets. (Photo via Christian Vierig/Getty)
Check Out: Yes, you will be checked out if you take a cue from this street style star by going for a strong plaid coat with skinnies and colorful boots. (Photo via Edward Berthelot/Getty)
