Put on your base layer, such as a black bodycon dress, leopard print dress, or sleek black pants and top.
- 2
Add the pointed-toe boots or high heels to elevate the silhouette.
- 3
Drape the oversized faux fur coat over your shoulders rather than putting your arms fully through the sleeves for a more dramatic look.
- 4
Layer multiple chunky gold chain necklaces and put on large gold hoop earrings.
- 5
Slide on the oversized sunglasses, resting them slightly down the bridge of your nose.
- 6
Carry your quilted handbag or clutch to complete the high-end aesthetic.
Makeup & hair
Style your hair in a voluminous, bouncy 90s blowout or a sleek, claw-clip updo. For makeup, go for a dramatic smoky eye, heavily lined lips with nude lipstick, and French-tipped or red nails.
