Audrey Hepburn was known for her flats. Diane Keaton for her fedoras. Jackie O for those faux pearls.

We’ve rounded up six easy styling tricks that don’t require an advanced degree to master.

Oxfords Studies — Opposites attract! Tone down the stuffiness of a maxi dress with a pair of polished oxfords. It’s the perfect day-to-evening look… just switch up the jewelry and makeup, and you’ve got a fool-proof summer outfit that works for all manner of occasions.

Tie It ‘Round — Instead of stuffing a light layer in your bag or doing the over-the-shoulder golfer thing, take a tip from the ’90s and tie it around your waist. Especially when you’re wearing it with a girly dress or a basic get-up. Because in those cases, a ’round-the-waist shirt will look insouciant, not grungy.

Cool Collars — For dresses with low necklines (wrap dresses, especially!), go for an architectural metal, beaded, or woven collar. It’s a modern pairing that’s way more unexpected than a regular statement necklace.

Get Full — Instead of your usual mini, consider a full skirt as your new summertime silhouette. It instantly elevates a plain T-shirt and makes your legs look longer and leaner (look for a skirt that’s cut at mid-thigh for optimum results!).

Pile It On — While you may think that wearing sunglasses, statement earrings,and a necklace might be overkill, we think it’s just the perfect complement to all those minimalist, summertime looks. Keep the rest of your outfit pared down and let those accessories shine!

Nude Poses — A pair of tall nude pumps adds a few inches (and degrees of sophistication), particularly when it comes to an otherwise plain outfit. Find a comfortable pair that’ll take your daytime look to new heights!
