How to wear sheer — without feeling sheer panic. When 79% of you said you’d never wear sheer… I had to show you how doable it actually is. The secret? It’s all in the styling. ✨ For skirts → layer with shapewear shorts or a slip skirt for coverage that still looks sleek. ✨ For tops → try a cami, or choose pieces with sequins, texture, or embellishment that naturally create opacity. This look proves you can take something bold and make it wearable and modern. Style confidence comes from how you wear it — not what you avoid. 💫 🖤 Tap to shop the pieces and see how to make this trend feel totally you. 📌 Save this post to revisit before your next night out.

These Spanx wide-leg ponte pants are sleek, sculpting, and secretly as comfy as leggings.

I paired them with a cozy Amazon cardigan sweater in one of the season's hottest colors: a warm red.

I draped a moto jacket over the shoulders for that effortless, “I didn’t try too hard” finish

A statement necklace catches the eye and brings attention to my face.

And an oversized clutch feels modern and on-trend.

It’s polished but not fussy — perfect for days when you want to feel styled, not just dressed.

One base. Six jackets. Infinite style moods. ✨

I used the same top, bottom, shoes, necklace and bracelet—and simply swapped the jacket to create six distinct looks. Because when your foundation pieces are strong, it’s the layer that does the talking.

How to Make Leggings Look Luxe 👇”

Forget everything you knew about leggings — this is how to wear them in 2025.

✅ Go for a fashion legging (not fitness).

✅ Pair it with an oversized blazer.

✅ Add sleek tall boots or heels to elongate the leg line.

✅ Keep your color palette neutral and minimal.

These are the Ameliora leggings — my favorite “elevated basic.” They have just enough structure to look polished but still move with you.

📌 Shop the full look below — because leggings can absolutely look luxe.

This look is built around some great staples:

* A soft brown cardigan that layers perfectly without bulk.

* Madewell’s Curvy jeans — truly one of the best fits for women with hips or a defined waist.

* And the finishing touch: INEZ booties (code LAURAC15 for 15% off). They have the sleek silhouette of a designer heel, but with comfort you can actually walk in.

A tonal look like this feels modern, sophisticated, and pulled-together — even when you’re just heading out for errands or coffee.

Not every trend deserves your investment — but a few smart ones can instantly modernize your wardrobe.

These gray pinstripe pants are proof you can play with a trend without going all in. The white elastic waistband makes them feel fresh and forward, but the silhouette is classic enough to wear again next season.

I paired them with my favorite elevated basics — luxe accessories, tailored layers, and my silver statement pumps — to balance the high and low.

Navy + Black = Effortlessly Chic 🖤💙
Who says you can’t mix navy and black? That “fashion rule” is long gone. In fact, pairing them together creates a rich, tonal look that feels modern and sophisticated — especially for fall.

✨ Stylist Tip: The key is contrast in texture or tone. Think navy wool with black leather, or a silky navy blouse with black denim. Add gold or silver jewelry to elevate the mix and pull it all together.

I love how these two neutrals balance each other — navy softens the edge of black, while black gives navy depth. It’s classic, timeless, and instantly polished.

Can we talk about these pants?!

They’re $26… from Walmart.
But they look and feel like they came from a designer boutique. The pinstripe, the drape, the fit — everything about them says elevated.

I love pairing budget-friendly pieces like this with luxe accessories — it’s the easiest way to make your outfit feel expensive without spending a fortune.

I started with the basics — black tank, oversized blazer, cropped barrel jeans, and neutral booties.

Then I elevated it:

Cinched the waist with a scarf belt for shape

Added gold jewelry for polish

Finished with a brown bag to tie in the neutrals

It’s still casual, but suddenly it feels pulled together.

Elevated comfort is my go-to fall style formula 🍂

This outfit checks every box — relaxed but refined:
 ✨ Madewell Curvy jeans that hug in all the right places (no waist gap here). ✨ A ribbed brown cardigan that feels luxe but easy to throw on. ✨ INEZ booties with a walkable heel and a chic almond toe — stylish and supportive (code LAURAC15 for 15% off).

Brown tones are having a major moment this season, and they pair beautifully with denim and gold accessories. Proof that comfortable can still be elevated.

Affordable. Elevated. Effortless.
These are the three dresses I can’t believe came from Walmart — and each one looks way more expensive than it is. From crisp cotton shirting to curve-flattering ruching to polished tailoring, these pieces feel designer without the designer price tag.

👗 Striped Shirtdress: Thick cotton that holds its shape — pairs perfectly with boots or sneakers.
🖤 Ruched Black Maxi: Soft, substantial fabric with flattering side ruching and a touch of drama.
🤎 Brown Flutter-Sleeve Maxi: Feminine yet structured — love the zip front, pleats, and on-trend chocolate hue.

💡 Stylist Tip: When affordable pieces have great structure and fabric, they instantly read “elevated.” These are proof.

All under $35 — seriously.

The ultimate day-to-night dress. From Walmart.

Feminine details (flutter sleeves + ruffled neckline).

Structure from pleats + zip-front design.

On-trend chocolate brown that feels so luxe.

And yes, it has pockets.

Why I love it: It’s chic, comfortable, and works for everything from brunch to a fall event.

This Walmart is one of the most flattering dresses I’ve tried this season.

Use code LAURAC15 for 15% off the INEZ heels I'm wearing.

NOTE: The black dress is sold out, but 2 shades of pink are still available.

Soft ruching that skims curves instead of clinging.

Side slit + asymmetrical detail for a little drama.

Thick, stretchy fabric so it’s comfortable AND confidence-boosting.

Stylist tip: Keep accessories minimal. The ruching is the star, so add a sleek shoe and simple jewelry to let the dress do the work.

Runs TTS. I'm wearing a Small.

If you want one dress that looks boutique but costs under $40… this is it.

The Walmart dress is 100% cotton that actually feels crisp and holds its shape (not flimsy).

Built-in belt and pleated skirt = instant polish.

A versatile piece you can wear with sneakers for errands or tall boots for dinner.

Stylist tip: This silhouette works beautifully on rectangles and hourglass shapes because it creates or highlights a waistline.

This Walmart dress looks WAY more expensive than it is.

Feminine details (flutter sleeve + ruffle neckline) without being fussy.

Pleated skirt and zip-front detail add structure.

Rich chocolate brown = on-trend, chic, and versatile. And yes… it has pockets.

Stylist tip: This is an easy win for rectangles, pears, or anyone who wants a little waist definition without a tight fit. Pair it with heels or boots to elevate.

Runs slightly large. I'm wearing an XS.
