The best outfits often have an unexpected element. Notice how Alexa Chung’s look is rather feminine, but the addition of a punk-inspired choker adds complexity to the look. The effect can also be achieved with unique styling, like Leandra Medine’s scarf bracelet or Pernille Teisbaek’s off-kilter sweater tied around her neck.

Whenever you’re stumped about what to wear, simply think of your favorite body part, and dress to show it off. Do you have sculpted arms? Try a sleeveless top. Love your legs? That miniskirt is calling your name.

Your personal uniform should be two things: reflective of your signature style and flattering. Barbara Martello relies on high-waisted skirts and black heels, while Emmanuelle Alt can often be spotted in a variation on a belted jacket and slim-fitting jeans. Finding your own uniform will streamline your shopping and make it easier to get dressed in the morning.
