You can be inspired by many movies and series, such as Jess in the New Girl series, Cher in the Clueless film, Astrid Sloan in the Politician series, and even Lucre in the Elite series. To create this style, you can introduce different styles and with them, your perfect identity.

Classic look

The classic look is strengthened by those looks that we can consider “common”; a Black pleated skirt, white buttoned shirt up to the neck held by a brown belt, oversized gray blazer rolled up to the elbows, and a bow tied around the neck. Very Elite, don’t you think?

Alternative outfit

Starting from the point where the aesthetic has been part of our world for a long time, we can find more urban and casual looks such as sweaters, tennis shoes, and large sizes in these outfits.

For its part, we will also find woven or wool vests and cardigans, collared shirts, baby collar shirts, or bows. In this sense, we accept pleated and plaid skirts.

However, we will not only find looks in skirts but also in pants and in high-waisted, checked, or stained wide boots. Combine with long stockings and ward off the fear of showing them with shorts or stockings.

As part of the alternative style, we can also find plaid and diamond prints, boots, tennis shoes, and as accessories: headbands. Ready to go preppy?

Sophisticated style.

What differentiates it from the classic style is that it’s refined and not afraid to be in trend.

This style usually involves carrying branded bags, being bold and strong hairstyles.

You can wear it to the preppy wearing a pleated black or blue skirt, a thin brown belt, a red knit sweater, and brown ankle boots to match the belt.

Romantic style.

The romantic style is one of the most delicate. And, as you can imagine, it’s used mainly by people with sensitive and sweet personalities.

It consists of subtle prints, pastel colors, bows, and ruffles.

How to combine it?

Simple: you can wear a white skirt a few inches above the knee with pink and blue checks, a white shirt buttoned up, a dark blue sweater with a bow tied around the neck, and a beige cardigan.

Creative style.

In short, one of my favorites. It’s innovative, risky, and carried by people with overwhelming self-confidence.

They are not afraid to show cuts, prints, and new trends. They break paradigms and are very original.

The punk double-layered black plaid skirt in red with lace at the ends and a bow at the waist is a great choice.

But you can also wear a black button-down shirt with embroidered sleeves, knee-length stockings with flowers, and high-heeled ankle boots.
