The high school science teacher chalks up her love of standout details to her Nigerian culture: “Our traditional clothes have special accents that make them feel opulent.” So though the mom of a 10-year-old son prefers classic garments, she sneaks a fun element, like metallic oxfords or tassel earrings, into each outfit. “I realized I don’t own a single pair of basic black flats, probably because I always need a little flair,” she says.<\/p>\n

“Look at women with your exact body type or complexion. The daring trends that work for them will be gorgeous on you, too.” <\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

RUFFLES<\/strong> “They add some drama to a casual look. A slogan tee with a ouncy skirt is a combo I love.”<\/p>\n

ANYTHING FUCHSIA<\/strong> “This color is eye-catching, like red, but not as many people wear it. I pair it with neutrals, blue, and orange.”<\/p>\n

COOL CLUTCHES<\/strong> “They’re instant out t-makers that don’t need to be ashy. Just pick one in a luxe texture, like suede or snakeskin.”<\/p>\n

A POP OF BLUSH<\/strong> “I used to think blush didn’t do anything for me, but MAC’s Raizin gives my face dimension.”<\/p>\n

People regularly come to Rebecca for style advice: First it was friends, and now it’s customers of her clothing boutique, Elizabeth West Fashion House. “My top tip is that if what you’re wearingfits and is styled right, the number on the label doesn’t matter,” she says. She didn’t always heed those words herself, but the self-assurance she’s tried to instill in her two girls, ages 5 and 9, has rubbed off: “I’m the largest size I’ve ever been, but I’ve never been more confident.”<\/p>\n

COZY STAPLES<\/strong> “My quick-cute outfit is a boyfriend cardigan and American Eagle high-rise jeggings.”<\/p>\n

GRAB-‘N’-GO ACCESSORIES <\/strong>“On lazy days, I stack bangles or throw on a floppy hat to make my outfit feel more planned out.”<\/p>\n

UPDATED CLASSICS <\/strong>“A woman can never own too many wrap dresses. I like to buy ones that have a modern twist, like ruffles or a cool pattern.”<\/p>\n

MATTE LIPS <\/strong>“I keep Maybelline’s Vivid lipstick in Thrill in my bag, one in the car, and another in the shop. That’s <\/em>how much of a go-to it is.”<\/p>\n

When this mom was in her 20s and pregnant with her two daughters, she gave up her signature girly- tomboy look and stuck to looser clothes. “I wasn’t as comfortable with my curves back then,” says the medical sales rep turned blogger. But now, in her late 30s, she proudly wears pieces that show o her baby bump- she’s having her third child, a boy, in October! “A pregnant body is a beautiful thing, so I’m embracing it.”<\/p>\n

“When done in an unexpected shape or color palette, a print you thought was too casual, like plaid or gingham, can be sophisticated.” <\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

LUXE SNEAKERS<\/strong> “The texture of my ponyhair high-tops feels dressier than that of your average sneaks, but they still have a sporty vibe.<\/p>\n

COLORFUL EARRINGS<\/strong> “They give a feminine pop to my short hairstyle. And nobody can tell if they’re cheap, which means you can afford to get tons of different ones.”<\/p>\n

A TAILORED BLAZER<\/strong> “It easily adapts to your <\/em>style. Edgy? Add a rocker tee. Girly? Add brooches.”<\/p>\n

TWO-IN-ONE BEAUTY<\/strong> “I have at least 20 EOS lip balms. I use them on my cheeks too, for a little dewy glow.”<\/p>\n

Kelly Williams, 34, Bronx, NY<\/h3>\n

Marketing manager and business owner Kelly uses style to command respect. In lieu of expected work pieces, she opts for vibrant colors, mixed prints, and statement-making headwraps (which she designs with her husband and sells online). “I love walking into a room knowing no one else will have my look,” says the mom of a 7-year-old son. Still, she’s quick to note that attention is nice, but not the biggest benefit of a great outfit: “As moms we put all the focus on our kids. Dedicating a little time to getting myself beautiful makes me <\/em>feel good.”<\/p>\n

“People always ask if I take a lot of time to get dressed. Nope, because I shop for pieces that are easy to mix and match.” <\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

BOLD TOP LAYERS<\/strong> “I’m into kimonos now. I wear one in place of a blazer.”<\/p>\n

HIGH-WAISTED BOTTOMS<\/strong> “Whether it’s a skirt or pants, I feel like a boss babe in them. They make my legs look longer and give me a little more curve.”<\/p>\n

GOLD DETAILS<\/strong> “I love big gold buttons and chunky gold necklaces. I think it stands out more than silver.”<\/p>\n

FULL LASHES<\/strong> “I never leave home without wearing mascara. L’Ore?al’s Telescopic really wakes up my eyes.”<\/p>\n

Camille, who considers herself a minimalist, prefers to make little, pointed statements. “If you have a great cross-body bag or studded bootie, everything else can be subtle,” says the e-commerce manager. And although she likes solid and neutral clothes that make getting dressed in the morning a breeze, every once in a while she lets her edgy side show: “I love things with a rock ‘n’ roll vibe that’s not over the top. So these jeans are ideal – they’re polished in the front, party down the side!”<\/p>\n

“I’m into the undone look. Tops that are a little drapey and hit me mid-hip are best for a chic half-tuck that isn’t bulky.” <\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

DAINTY RINGS<\/strong> “There are no rules with these. You can mix and match metals or stack as many as you want.”<\/p>\n

BRIGHT LIPSTICK<\/strong> “I wear a red lip at night because it makes me feel daring. Nars Jungle Red is the perfect color.”<\/p>\n

DRAMATIC SUNGLASSES<\/strong> “Not only do they spruce up an out t, but I can hide behind them if I don’t have time to put makeup on before going out.”<\/p>\n

A SLIGHTLY OVERSIZE TEE<\/strong> “Unlike a fitted tee, I don’t have to pull at it or worry about sucking anything in.”<\/p>\n
