The hallmark of the city chic style is a designer vibe. You can accomplish this on any budget. The key is to find fitted and trendy pieces. Look to stores like Kohl's and Spiegel.

Everyday Wear

There are a few wardrobe staples you should have in your closet for this style. Look for a trench coat for cooler weather. This gives a fitted silhouette and you can also incorporate a subtle color palette with a plaid. The thinner the lines, the more daring the color can be, such as a bright orange paired with taupe.

Silhouette is also important to pay attention to. This could mean a longer tunic-style shirt or a cardigan with a drape front. Then you can use basic accessories, heels, and trousers that you already have in your closet to complete the look. Mixing and matching trendy items with what you already own gives an updated look while still being budget friendly. You could just get a pair of leggings to wear with boots and long sweaters.

Evening

In the city, the little black dress reigns supreme. Go for a more comfortable version with a knit fabric, but make sure that it still has a form-fitting silhouette. Another option is a cowl neck version.

You may also want to pick up a sheath dress. This can go from the office to evening wear just by using a jacket and changing out the accessories. Black is a basic color for this, but you can find durability in any dark color such as eggplant, navy, hunter green, or chocolate brown.
