SolaDunn's top 6 tips to looking chic in skinny jeans (ft Kate Middleton)

If there's anything the ever classy duchess of Cambridge 'kate middleton' loves most rather than her new bundle of joy and prince charming, its got to be her skinny jeans.  She's renowned world wide for her understated, accessible yet highly sophisticated fashion. Kate is such a fashion icon, she makes royalty look like a piece of cake. Owned by all but made respected by the stylish princess is a particular fashion wardrobe staple - THE SKINNY JEAN!

Am certain a lot of women if not all have one or more skinny jeans in their closets but you take a look at Kate and wonder how she's been able to make the simple apparel seem so chic. Well, here are a few tips i will be suggesting. Apply this and i bet you, next time you are out and about in your skinnies, you're gonna have heads turning....or better still, breaking! Lol! Wanna look chic royalty but still urban sophisticated, here my top 6 tips! 

1. Simplicity - This is the most important tip. When you think royalty, am sure what comes to mind are bold jewelries and tiaras but not with kate.  Kate never over does things. She doesn't got over the top with makeup, accessories and clothing. I talk about accessories on here all the time, ladies i need you to start walking the walk - TONE DOWN ON ACCESSORIES. For instance on Kate, a simple barely there makeup and necklace works the magic all the time.  To pair your apparels too, nothing too complicated. Simple tops or blouses however with interesting detailing will do. I personally invest a lot in gold, so my go-to in terms of accessories are always a simple gold stud earring and a drop chain with a lovely pendant. Once a while tho, I wear statement pieces. 

2. Edge -  What ever Kate wears, there always an element of edge. Its easy to look at her in pants and blazers and be like 'its ordinary' but anybody that's got eyes for details will see the little interesting pieces in her ensemble. Everyone can be wearing a blazers but why not choose one that sets you apart? For instance, kate's plaid blazers in the first pictures or the little cute multi-colored scarf she has around her neck in the second pic. Remember, to be fashionable, there should always be something that makes you different. It doesn't necessarily has to be bold and you can bring it in with anything i.e watches, bracelets, jewelry, scarfs, belts, e.t.c. 

3. Chic - if you want to look as good as kate in your skinnies, chic should be your watch-WORD! Think blazers! Blazers are the best layering pieces - throw them on your favorite tank and you're good to go! If you want a bit of extra, opt for bold colors with intricate cuts. I love this lovely red on Kate. If you want to look a bit conservative, you may decide to tone things down a little. Whatever you decide, remember, well structured blazers are always a go-to and they chicen your outfits in an instant. 

4. Comfort -  Another important tip is comfort. I hate it when I can't move freely in what I wear, no no abeg! I can't remember ever seeing kate a 6inch stiletto (kinda like my girl, those things hurt shwoo). Think Kate, think comfort. Opt for 4inch pumps or flats that allows you move around without constraints. Kate loves her wedges, so for a touch of edge, go for 'cork' wedges. Also, make sure your skinnies, top and whatever you're pairing with are not too clingy. I'll let you in on a fashion secret now - fashionable ladies don't wear tight things! Yes I said it! Why do you think you'll hardly ever see someone like Genevieve Nnaji in tight tee, dresses and all. So keep that in mind.

5. Recycle - If the duchess can wear the same skinny jeans 3 times or more, why can't you! There's absolutely nothing wrong with wearing the same apparel again and again, just be creative with every look so RECYCLE! You might like to observe kate in all of these pictures, am sure you'll see her wear her Zara wedge more than 3 times, so also her polka dotted top and skinny jeans, Right! As i always tell people, fashion is imagination.....just think it and do it!

6. Fit - Just to quickly chip this in, to know if your skinnies are the best fit, make sure they are not too tight that the side pockets are pocking out and the back pockets are right on your butt as seen on kate okay! Oh one more thing, Kate loves to cuff her skinnies so try that too.

Above all, make the look YOU and have fun. I hope you enjoyed reading. Ladies, next time you're thinking of wearing your favorite skinny jeans, adopt on or two of these tips and I bet you'll receive a couple of compliments.
