Jeans and T Shirt is great for every day use and then you can dress them up with a pretty top and heels for a date or a night out on the town.

The thing about looking great is not just to think about what you are wearing but how you finish your outfit. Consider what shoes you are wearing for a start.

Firstly to dress like Gwen you need to get your own style. High street brands won’t cut it. Try charity shops and vintage stores to get one off pieces that you are unlikely to see anyone else in.

Mixing up combinations of clothes that you wouldn’t usually do can also work really well. For example Gwen is often seen in a combination of stripes and plaids. On some people this won’t work but if you carry it off correctly you really can look great.

For a spot on Gwen look why not mix a funky rock t-shirt with some cut off cargo pants. And some high heels and a chain belt. This type of outfit is different to the every day looks that you get, but it is classic Gwen Stefani style.

Don’t be afraid of bright colours and patterns because mixing together combinations of colour is what really makes Gwen stand out from the crowd.
