Accessories can involve funky earrings and an eye-catching necklace for added flair. Footwear can include fresh trainers or chunky boots to match the casual appeal. The overall outfit is ideal for making a statement during casual outings or even late-night parties.

Strut with confidence with a matching top and bottom. Opt for a vest or crop top and cargo shorts with bold bright colours such as fuchsia that demand attention with a sense of boldness.

This outfit is perfect for concerts or raves since it can be accessorized with quirky jewellery, a crossbody bag and a bucket hat while still showing off fun vibes.

Need a modern take on a black-and-white outfit? Try combining a white top with a black bottom or vice versa to add a stark and appealing contrast. Play with different elements such as an asymmetrical t-shirt for an urban aesthetic and ¾ shorts with side slits for a looser fit. Consider wearing sneakers that match the top for a sandwich colour combination and accessorize with playful hand jewellery and cheeky socks. This is a versatile outfit that can be modified for all types of scenarios whether it includes relaxed hangouts with friends or more energetic occasions like dancing or skating.

Welcome a touch of urban flair and vibrancy with a faded top and a bright-coloured bottom. For example, a grey crop top and deep green cargo pants exude a refreshing and airy fit. Complement it with a darker shade of footwear and multicoloured accessories to add a pop of diverse colours while still keeping attention on the top and bottom. Outfits like this are great for experimenting with colours and figuring out one’s preferred style while still holding a fashionable charm.
