The Looks

Retro Glam

Glam up with flashy chains and sleek leather. Mix in ladylike pieces—try a silky shirt and bright “It” bag—to give off that Hollywood vibe.

Boots, $50, hm.com

Preppy Girly

Dress down a party skirt with oxfords and a flannel. No need to tuck in the shirt, just throw on a cool belt (find one with a bow!) to give it some balance. Metallic flats give your look just the right amount of shine.

Urban Chic

Amp up a frilly skirt with downtown-cool details. A little leopard here, a peep-toe wedge there. A slouchy cardi and pile of rings gives an edgy finish to the vibe.
