As models make their way down the runway do you ever find yourself drooling over their style? If so, you are far from alone. The runway is filled with clothing that makes the heart of any fashion lover skip a beat, but sometimes it can feel difficult to incorporate these extravagant looks into daily style.
Here are five classic runway looks that you can wear in real life.

1. The Military Pea Coat – This favorite form of outerwear is always in style and when accessorized correctly it can make a bold statement even in the cold months of winter. Find the coat in a neutral color and add a scarf with a bold print, and a tall boot to turn it into an eye-grabbing ensemble.

2. Nautical Themed Attire – Red, navy and white are in style any day and can easily be turned from runway star to wardrobe hit in no time. Pair a white and red striped top with a tan skirt. Or, go all navy and use red and gold jewelry and shoes to give it the nautical touch. Make it a truly maritime look with jewelry that has an anchor or wheel to give it that extra touch.

3. Classic Black and White – These are two colors that never seem to disappear from the runway. By using them with patterns and bold colored accessories you can make an outfit pop in a subtle and classy way. Pair a black and white striped shirt with a black shirt and add red shoes to give it that extra look of fun.

4. Sequins – Sequins have always added sparkle to an outfit and instantly turn a dull dress into a beauty. The best part about sequins is they can be worn either casually to liven up a tank top or shirt, or elegantly on an evening gown. For a truly lady like look, turn to sequins to transform your outfit from dull to attention grabbing with ease.

5. Flower Power – Flowers are never out of style. With their feminine look, this print or accessory can turn any outfit from boring to beautiful with natural ease. Add a flower to your hair, wear a floral shaped necklace, or go all out and wear a floral print for the most stunning floral looks that will always be a hit.

With these basic rules, you are sure to always have important classics on hand in your closet and never be out of style. Now you can look runway ready anytime!
