Today we’re taking a few outfit pointers from Kelsey’s Instagram, where she shares many of her #OOTDs. Here’s our guide to Kelsey Simone’s style:

Kelsey Simone Style Outfit #1:

Kelsey usually mixes different textures and moods to create a cohesive outfit. In order to successfully mix a few different styles in a one outfit, she sticks to a minimal color palette. In this outfit the denim, knit, and leather textures all complement each other quite well. The subbed colors keep the textures from looking out of control. 

In short, this outfit teaches us that style is not one-dimensional. No need to put your style preferences into a specific category. Experiment with textures and styles you love, and wear them together. One easy way to do this is to stick to a neutral color palette so all the style elements pair well together.

Kelsey Simone Style Outfit #2:

The second outfit shows that how you style your pieces is just as important as the pieces themselves. Here, Kelsey is wearing two different shirts and she styles them both in unique ways. The white tee is tied for a sleek look and the striped, oversized blouse adds a pattern and layered element to the outfit.

I love that Kelsey is not afraid to take risks in some of her styling choices, specifically with the flare pants. Lately, fashion trends have been shifting away from the basic skinny denim to other cuts like straight and or boot cut. You can balance a boot cut or flare style pant with a slimmer top, as Kelsey did by tying her tee for a cropped effect. Kelsey kept the outfit causal with her Adidas and simple accessories. Overall, this look is definitely my personal favorite of the three!
