It only takes two “strong” pieces to create a simple and chic look. It could be a turtleneck and a trench or sunglasses and cropped trousers. The term also refers to statement fashion items that pull the outfit together and take the look from OK to noteworthy. That gorgeous necklace you found in a vintage store and makes head turn every time you wear it… Exactly! That’s what a strong/statement piece does. It exude a sense of style. It’s the little Extra oomph that goes beyond trend! In fact, these items are often (but not always) a classic piece that will never go out of style, such as a leather jacket or a breton t-shirt —the easiest way to channel French elegance BTW.
I’ve gathered 10 awesome street style outfits that require only two strong pieces… You are welcome to add some accessories, of course.
1. The White Shirt And Jeans
Never underestimate the power of a white shirt and jeans. Just add nice shoes or booties and Voilà your ready to go!
- Wear a skinny with a sexy shirt that shows a little bit of skin in a subtle way. It’s the perfect balance of edgy and casual.
