Different Ways to be Chic
Chic is one of those things that doesn’t really have a definition; it can be so many different things and still be ‘chic’. It can be elegant, edgy, bold and humble all at the same time. Chic is not about having oodles and oodles of designer clothes that no one else has, having the perfect body or 
nything superficial like that. Chic is about being happy with yourself, comfortable in your own skin and confident in your abilities. Chic is just one of those things where when you see it, you know it is chic.
nything superficial like that. Chic is about being happy with yourself, comfortable in your own skin and confident in your abilities. Chic is just one of those things where when you see it, you know it is chic. To prove this, let’s look at a few examples:
Martine Lemieux, a fashion designer, rocks the simple, avant-gardist, chic look. She does her shopping by buying only “heart-stopping” pieces. She says it’s not about having lot of pieces, it’s about having the right pieces that can be used universally. She maintains a very pulled together look by using mostly black pieces and pairing it with Montreal’s Harakiri jewelry that goes with everything.
Jackie Yermus, a shoe designer at Aldo, maintains the boho chic style. That is, her clothes are mixed and matched, loose fitting and her hair is never quite perfect. This is the ever desirable look of grunge while still looking completely put together. To pull this look off, one must maintain a proper balance of grunge and style.
Rebecca Makonnen, a Canadian radio host, loves the shiny sequin paired with leopard print and a red pant kind of style. This is more of a bold chic, highly desirable, and must be put together correctly in fear of going too over the top.
These are just a few examples of possible chic looks that can be thrown together without spending a ton of money and can suite different personalities, body types and budgets. It is much easier than meets the eye to pull off these looks, as long as you have the proper guidance and knowledge.
