Karyn Starr. Photo from Brooklyn Street Style. Such a great yet simple outfit with excellent accessories such as the silver bangle bracelets. the hat, the sunglasses and the pop of red lipstick. It all just goes.
Style is important because what we wear can make us feel good in our own skin. Everyday style carries us through everything we do, enabling us to best face the world. It’s your life; why not get dressed for it?
Karyn Starr, aesthetic consultant.
What a good question!

Simple, elegant, comfortable. Jackie Kennedy Onassis did it well.
For many critics, the American style of dressing has gone too far. Yoga pants, hoodies, and flip-flops appear in all sorts of places they shouldn’t, like restaurants, offices, and European capitals … Comfort is not to blame. It appears that we’ve forgotten about panache. The most classic American women style icons always perfected both. Think of Jackie O. and Carolyn Bessette-Kennedy, Lauren Hutton and Michelle Obama. They share a simplicity and elegance in their choice of clothes, adding a pop of flair with a scarf or hat, a hair twist, or an elegant shoe.
From the book Brooklyn Street Style: The No Rules Guide to Fashion by Anya Sacharow and Shawn Dahl (Abrams Image).
This quote points out something very important – that comfortable fashion is not the same as sloppy fashion, or it doesn’t have to be.
We can be casual and still chic by keeping it tidy, choose the right size, and add an accessory or two.
