You have got to jazz things up a bit. We mentioned bold tops, especially silk ones, and those will take you a long way, but even they are not enough during a season that is so often about dazzle and glamor.

That means that you can really, really go wild with your accessories. In shirts, jeweled tones will look absolutely incredible with your array of black skirts, and you can mix and match with your accessories as well.

We are not just talking about earrings, rings, necklaces, and bracelets either. Do up your outfit with belts, gloves, scarves, and, of course, the most fabulous shoes you can find!

You see, ideally, you should have a short, flirty little LBD for fun partying. You need a longer one as well, one that grazes the ankles, for more formal occasions. Thirdly, you need one that reaches just above or right below the knee, for more in between occasions.

The same goes for black skirts. You should have three in varying sizes, for different holiday occasions. Why? Because they can be paired with a variety of tops, from dressy to casual. The added bonus here is that this versatility will allow you to go from day to evening with a minimum of muss and fuss.

It means you’re going to have to spend a ton of money making sure you’ve got the right party clothes in your wardrobe, right? Wrong! It doesn’t mean that at all!

As you will see in the next few posts, all you need is to make sure you have a few classic pieces to use as foundations in your wardrobe. Combine that with a strong knowledge of the savviest styles and hottest accessories, and you will look stellar at dozens of parties without ever having to spend too much money.

A tunic with puffed sleeves or ruffles on the hem allows for that English feel. This style goes well with jeans as well, along with vintage necklaces. Larger tunics can be reigned in with a skinny belt.

Boots are a staple for this trend too, but in browns and tans. Riding boots are great, Doc Martens are awesome, and you can go casual with slouchy boots.

Just make sure your boots will complement the length of your legs, as well as the overall shape of them.

The best way to wear the checkered shirt is with a pair of jeans, and what kind of jeans are popular in the Country Folk trend? Ripped jeans! They definitely are not just for summer any longer. You can go for distressed jeans or straight up ripped jeans.

There are several ways to wear these. Avoid too much layering, because that is more fitting for the rocker look. That being said, you can go casual with your checkered shirt or go for a classy casual look by pairing your ripped jeans with something fancier.

The color palette for this trend encompasses a rather eclectic mix of greys and browns, beige and off white shades, and hues of orange and olive green.

The finer details included checked, gingham, and plaid prints, boots that could walk a mile in a barnyard, lots of lace, loose and flowing blouses, tailored slacks with a bit of a masculine edge, and medallion pendants in Old English styles.

During the coming posts, we will check out some of the specific pieces and how you can wear them to best incorporate Country Folk into your wardrobe.
