One can be dressed fashionably by wearing simple, classic pieces in muted or subtle colors. But to make a fashion statement and be fashionable at the same time involves a wow factor paired smartly with other elegant pieces. Effortlessly Chic is a trend that revolves around being bold in only one item of your ensemble. The first two images above portray this trend in that the first woman is dressed entirely in black, but her jacket lends interest by way of its avantgarde silhouette and fur trim. A stand out, yet chic and subtle look. The second woman is seen wearing an otherwise blase and relaxed outfit made up of leggings, skirt, and sweater. But by throwing on that fur vest, this woman managed to make her nonchalant look eye-catching.
This street trend can be seen on the runways as well: Marc Jacobs accomplishes this effortlessly chic look in the third image by adding ruffles to the trousers of an otherwise average pinstriped suit in his Spring 2010 RTW collection. And lastly, Lanvin proves how a few well placed ruffles on his garment can transform an average strapless cocktail dress into a statement making garment in his Spring 2010 RTW collection.
