Lauren Conrad -- Celebrity Style Tips

If you want a casual chic style, one celebrity to gain inspiration from is Lauren Conrad, and InStyle Magazine has showcased just what has put Lauren on the fashion map. Though many know her for the hit show on MTV, The Hills, Lauren has since finessed her style -- whether she is going out for the weekend or hitting the town for an evening event. Many of Lauren's style inspirations can be created from what you already have in your closet, and allows you to look put together no matter what you pick out. Don't have anything in your closet? Check out her collection, LC Lauren Conrad, at Kohl's. When it is time for a style change, check out some of the different ways Lauren Conrad spices up her wardrobe without trying too hard:

Skinny Jeans

Year-round, skinny jeans are stylish and casual and can be paired with many wardrobe options. Take a page out of Lauren's fashion book and pair your skinny jeans with a loose, delicate top. Tunics or flowy tops, such as the Ruffle Chiffon Camisole, go perfectly with any color jean. Finish the look off with strappy sandals or a pair of heels for an evening option.

Belts

Show off your shape by cinching your waist with a belt, especially when wearing dresses that feature airy, voluminous material. A belt draws attention to the waist and creates an hourglass effect to enhance your look no matter what body shape you are. Look for a statement piece like the Elastic Leatherette Belt from Forever 21, or find a classic, simple style like the Glossy Leatherette Belt.

Shorts

Tired of wearing the same style dress when you go out? Next time you go out with the girls, pair shorts (please, no jean shorts!) with a girly blouse and heels for a sleek, stylish look. Perfect shorts for the night out include a cuffed hem and higher waist, and don't forget to tuck your blouse in for a refined look. Check out the Herringbone Pattern Shorts if you need to update your wardrobe.

Blazer

Whether you are wearing short, a dress or skirt, one way to instantly polish your look is by adding a cropped blazer to your outfit. A blazer is a great way to take your day look into night, and is one wardrobe staple everyone should have in the closet. One beautiful blazer to look for is the Chiffon-Trim Blazer at Kohl's.

As you can see, Lauren Conrad's style is effortless, yet still looks stylish with anything she wears. Each of these items are basic wardrobe pieces and affordable on any budget, and can be worn with any season for a Saturday stroll through the farmer's market, or date night with someone special.
