5. Add a pop of (rainbow) color. Color is in, y’all. And you don’t have to ditch your strict black and denim love affair to dabble in technicolor. Integrate a dash of brightness for a deluxe transformation from even the simplest of get-ups. (Photo via Claudio Lavenia/Getty)
6. Go off the shoulder. When it comes to high fashion, sometimes the simplest details can make the most striking statements. Adding a subtle off the shoulder slouch to your jacket or coat goes a long, lavish way. (Photo via Claudio Lavenia/Getty)
