If there is anything Carrie Underwood should be known for other than her singing prowess, it will have to be her style and eye for fashion. This hugely successful country singer has come a long way since winning the fourth season of American Idol. With numerous chart-topping singles and awards under her belt, this mother of one has started venturing into the fashion scene with her line of fashion activewear and fitness apparel — Calia by Carrie Underwood.
Proving that she is as much capable in dressing herself as she is hitting those high notes, we decided to review some of Carrie’s style and distill some valuable tips from her outfits so you pull off the same stylish getup with ease and sophistication.
1. Classy is classic
Carrie is no stranger to red carpet events and we can all learn a thing or two from how she manages to look effortless yet sophisticated at the same time. Almost like her powerful vocals, she keeps to a refined colour palette balanced with iridescent embellishments to help her create a riveting look that is hard miss. The juxtaposition in fabric colour and texture helps this petite-framed singer stand as strong as her voice.
2. Dare to mix it up
Never one to stick to a certain look, Carrie regularly plays up her style by introducing elements of bold colours or striking floral prints. Floral prints are a great way to pull off a feminine and soft look that radiates innocence and elegance while colours are an easy way to stand out from a crowd. And be experimental with colours — a striking ruby red exudes strength and passion but a pastel coral orange radiates a soft and graceful vibe.
3. Keep it tasteful
We especially appreciate Carrie’s ability to stay sexy without look trashy, and the tip lies in appropriate exposure. When she chooses to show off her toned and sexy legs, Carrie keeps the other parts of her body covered. Likewise, you should keep your legs covered when wearing something with a plunging neckline. The idea is to always expose just one part of your body so you stay sexy and never trashy.
4. Don’t ignore the basics
Being stylish does not mean you have to stock your wardrobe with designer labels and branded clothing. Sometimes, simplicity is key and you can look just as good with your closet’s quintessential pieces. Carrie pulls off the plain old t-shirt and jeans combination with taste and ease. Like how you can’t go wrong with a good pair of fitted black jeans, invest in one so you have a versatile piece that you can wear as it is or jazz it up with complementary elements.
