Numerous pinterest boards are also devoted to everyday looks. For some quick inspiration right away, here are 5 of our tried and tested tips that will help you look good, no matter what!
1. Must-Have Tops
When in doubt, trust the classics. Our favorite wardrobe staples include several tops that can be paired with a number of other items. A classic white shirt, denim shirts, a form-fitting top depending upon your body type and bright tunics can be paired with jeans, jeggings, shorts and leggings. Always have a few favorite pieces you can fall back upon any time. One more essential that goes in the ‘tops’ category is a very well fitting bra. None of what you have will make you look as sharp as a well-fitting bra worn under them. See a bra-fitter and build your bra wardrobe.
2. Buy a Great Fitting Pair of Jeans
Take some time to find out what jeans best suits your body type. We are yet to see a woman mess up a look with jeans except when she is wearing an ill-fitting wear. For thick calves, elongate the look of your legs with skinny jeans and even further with booties. For smaller legs, try cigarette-fit jeans that sit just above the ankles. To hide saddlebags, go for high-waisted jeans. Stock up on body shapers to add curves or remove flab below your jeans and you are all set. The right pair of jeans will make you feel so sexy, you will be ready to take on the world.
3. Cover it Up
Layering is the key to everyday fashion. A great jacket or coat can be used to layer your existing basics and add a punch to your outfit. A good fit is crucial, though. A classic denim jacket, colored blazers or stylish coats during the colder months will make sure you step out in style every day. Denim jackets can compliment anything from jeans to maxi skirts. Light-weight cardigans can make your fall-winter look complete with the addition of scarves, that can also be used on their own over any outfit be it tunic and leggings or dresses and skirts.
4. Hair Styles for Anytime Chic
How you do your hair can make or break your look. While you can spend hours doing your hair for a night out or even walk right out of a salon to a special event, it is your everyday hair that gets noticed most of the time. Amanda from EverydayInstyle.com suggests a number of buns for days when your hair decides to act up. Check them out at http://www.everydayinstyle.com/10-pretty-buns-and-top-knots-for-bad-hair-days/.

Keeping hair short is another way to look good everyday without spending a lot of time as it requires less maintenance.
5. Find Time for Makeup
Everyday makeup takes lesser time, but still remains a dream for most women with the hectic morning routines. Try to schedule at least 5 minutes every morning to touch up your face before you step out. A dull face that lacks a warm glow can turn even the most well-picked outfit into a lackluster affair. Stay away from heavy makeup. Try something from our list of foundation alternatives and add lip gloss and eye liner to complete the look to add the finishing touches. Always try to apply nail polish the night before.
One thing that really helps is creating an online or offline board of your favorite looks from magazine, celebrity spotting, street style blogs etc. and arranging your closet in a way that you have all the items needed to put together some of those looks, at hand. That way, you will not spend an hour trying to figure out what to wear, and then grabbing whatever you can lay your hands on, because you are too late to dress properly!
