This is something classy fashionistas should bring home to take their classic clothing personality to the next level!

Stretch Your Style Envelope with
the Different Fashion Styles

You'll discover various looks, styles and clothing types, as well as fashion eras that you can implement into your own wardrobe!

I've gathered the best and most popular of the different fashion styles I find stylish and chic - everything from boho to vintage, french, to global street fashion (it's exciting to see what fashionistas from around the world are wearing!). Other looks such as Preppy and Rocker-Chic will be added sometime in the future.

Drawing fashion inspiration outside of your comfort zone helps you discover new ways of dressing and help developing your personal style. So experiment with high-end and low-end; mix the new with the old; and trendy with the classics!

I also advise you to read up on my personal opinion of what chic fashion is, explaining the concept behind this website.

How to Achieve a Unique Personal Style

The trick to achieving a unique style that is all you is to combine elements from different fashion styles as well as from various aspects of your personality/taste/lifestyle/mood/. Not all of them in one, but just enough to show off your personal clothing style.

"I think the idea of mixing luxury and mass-market fashion is very modern - wearing head-to-toe designer has become a bit passe. It's a new era in fashion - there are no rules. It's all about the individual and personal style, wearing high-end, low-end, classic labels, and up-and-coming designers all together."
- Alexander McQueen

However, keep in mind that if you want to look ultra-chic you need to whip up an evenly mixed combinations of basics and fun pieces to keep your outfit balanced and avoid a head-to-toe loony look. So make sure you've already secured the wardrobe essentials first before you start shopping for the current fashion trends that are likely to fade 6 months from now.

Chic Fashion Inspiration:
Different Fashion Styles & Looks

The chic fashionista Anna Villaruel says I've gathered the 'best of the best' of chic fashion inspiration based on my personal opinion. These are styles that remain in today's fashion regardless of the current fashion trends. For example: Bohemian fashion is considered a state of mind, vintage is timeless because it is original and brings something from the past to your outfit, street fashion is a mix of everything people are creating around the world no matter how the trends (catwalk) are evolving.

Timeless Fashion Styles

French fashion is one of the chic'est look you can achieve. Chic fashion is highly influenced by the French - the sole founders of style: Smart, timeless and sophisticated style! It's classy but a bit sassy.

It's not difficult to look like you came out from the streets of Paris. Achieving a French fashion style is to mix wardrobe staples and self-confidence!

Bohemian fashion is my personal favorite when it comes to style, so that's why I want to share some of my tricks and tips on how to achieve a modern boho-chic look. Looking chic is never stiff, it's free-flowing and effortless. I especially love how bohemian style clothing looks casual and pretty and exotic.

One of the best ways to elevate your personal style is to add some charm and nostalgia with vintage fashion. Somewhere in the baskets and racks of mothball-smelling grandma skirts and scarves lies a perfect jewel waiting to connect with your style persona. You'll find vintage clothing almost everywhere. Vintage fashion ranges from the early 1900's to 1990's so you might find something that will work for you. I think my tips on adding vintage to your style and how to buy vintage clothes online and offline will help you get started.

For a fresh look try seeking fashion inspiration from the streets in metropolitan cities like Paris, Barcelona, Los Angeles, New York, Hong Kong etc. Street fashion is a cool way of saying fashion from around the globe. As in fashion by people on the street.

And why not add some eco friendly clothing to your wardrobe as well? It's a great way to wear clothes without draining our earth's natural resources. Now I'm not trying to go all hippie on you and start chanting:"Save our earth" and preach about being one of earth's children. I'm just saying that it's the small things that counts that can make a difference in our nature's and environment's health. How about start using a reusable shopping bag when picking up groceries? It's the least we can do if you don't want to invest in a new wardrobe with organic made clothes.
