An Off-Duty Uniform Is Critical for Sartorial Success
For elevating casual moments, Beckham has a clear uniform that she rarely strays away from: a polished pair of leggings paired with a sophisticated jacket. In some cases that jacket is a longline cardigan, in others it’s a cozy chic parka—either way its a winning combination that always ensures she’s photo-ready just in case the paparazzi are around.
Never Underestimate the Power of a Statement Shoe
It’s no secret that Beckham loves a great dress, but what makes those one-and-done staples standout are her unexpected shoe pairings. From peep-toe boots to PVC-trimmed heels, Beckham knows how to harness the power of an eye-catching red stepper. Follow her lead and anchor your spring frocks with the vibrant hue.
For the Illusion of Longer Legs, Turn to High-Waisted Pants
Believe it or not, Beckham stands at only 5’4”. But with a dependable collection of leg-lengthening pants she always creates the illusion of added height.
Every Closet Needs a Little Black Dress
For decades, she’s proven just how valuable a little black dress can be in anyone’s closet. This spring and summer, channel your inner Posh Spice with a sleeveless option in a fitted silhouette.
Have Fun Experimenting with Unexpected Colors
While Beckham certainly loves her all-black looks, she also has a natural talent for mixing and matching unexpected shades. Recently, she proved just how pretty lilac can look next to caramel-y hues.
