I’ve always been a firm believer that details matter. Whether it is that extra effort you put into wrapping a gift with grosgrain ribbon, or a handwritten name card at a table setting, details grab one’s attention and speak volumes.
Details also matter when it comes to outfits. From afar, this look appears to be a simple tee and a pair of jeans. But come a little closer and you will see that the “tee” is actually adorned with silver studs and the material is made of the softest faux suede. The jeans are also anything but ordinary. They have an exposed zipper with a pull ring adding some metallic hardware to the look. The denim also features side panels that are a slightly darker shade of black with an uneven hemline. Fishnet stockings complete the edgy look but peer out only from the ankles to avoid being overly sexy. The structured black and gold handbag and two-toned Chanel pumps balance out the edgy vibe with a little bit of class and elegance.
When it comes to details, they can be as minimal as contrasting colored thread, or they can be as loud as spikes on a Christian Louboutin heel, but no matter how small or big, details matter.
/ My Favorite “Detail” Pieces /
- Studs or spikes
- Exposed Zippers
- Scarf or Bandana
- Statement belt
- Reflective sunglasses
- Distressing
- Ruffles
- Flared sleeves
- Embroidery

Thank you so much! They are one of my favorites because not only are they classic, but they also are not too high in the heel which makes them absolutely comfortable to wear all day!
Christine, I adore this outfit. The ring zipper is awesome. I am a huge sucker for studded anything, so your top is absolutely gorgeous to me. I love that you wore netted stockings with your jeans. The shoes and bag are the perfect finishing touch. You look incredible. I hope you have a great week!

Thank you Mercy! These Chanel shoes sell out quickly but luckily they have similar styles right now. If you find a size, definitely go for the investment because they will be worth it!
The zipper of your jeans is amazing ! I love this detail and the details on the top.
Such an amazing outfit.

Thank you Margot! I love the circle zipper on these jeans. Isn’t it fun?
Love how you make the details look intentional and chic, but not busy. The fishnets, details on the tee and denim, the zipper, everything together somehow works perfectly! Only you could make this stand out so beautifully. Have a wonderful weekend with your family, Christine!!

Thanks Camille. I am glad you agree that it’s the little details that make an outfit pop.
Wow! Such a perfect title – Details Matter !!! Your entire outfit is a perfect exemplar of paying attention to fine detail and putting it all together to create the most extraordinary outfit! I am obsessed with the suede embellished tee ! Love the fishnets and just speechless once again at your amazing style!
Hi Jennifer! This tee is the softest and I love the oversized fee of it and the longer sleeves. The studs are definitely my favorite since it adds an element of edginess. Thank you for your sweet comment.
I totally agreed with you that details can stand out even in simpler outfit, I am bad at picking up details and always go for colors or prints, but when I lived in Korea, I tried to learn more how Koreans street style fashionstas are always so chic even in oversized clothes, but their secret was details!

I have to disagree Diana, you pick out amazing details in outfits and even layering is details to me and you do great layering! I wish I could pull off color and prints, but it is something I am working towards. =)
Love your look babe! You look trendy and chic at the same time. I agree with you about the details. They totally make the difference, taking a look from simple to wonderful. D etails always add visual interest to any look and the way you styled your pieces is perfect!
Enjoy the rest of the weekend!

Details really do matter.Goodness, I love the studs on you tee and the fishnet stockings under your jeans.You look fantastic.

You are too kind Sophie. There is something about studs that I am drawn to and I love the fishnet trend under a pair of jeans.
Love the details of your cool pants, they look gorgeous! I totally agree with you, the devil’s in the details!

Hey Sweetie,
Hows you?
Totally Agree with You, Details are so important in Everything! Especially if it’s about Outfits!
The Pants are my Fav piece, I never saw That kind of Zip-Up Details on Pants, wooow soo Chic and Eye Catching:)
Love that you Wear Tights and The Heels was just the perfect one for your Pants:)
Love that You Matched White Top with the Black pants, Makes such a Nice Contrast, The Sunnies are Super Cute;)
Love Open Kloset By Karina
Thank you Karina for your thoughtful comments. I am loving the high waisted mom jeans lately and can’t get enough of them. I like how these are different than every other pair too.
You and I are completely on the same page! Details make all the difference, and I like how you pointed out that it doesn’t need to be some loud or flashy item. It can be as subtle as some metallic hardware with a unique zipper or contrasting threads as you mentioned. I personally like to pay attention to details by adding subtle jewelry items. And to be honest, really great brands also take so much of the guesswork out of the equation for you by already having great details. Case in point: those chanel heels looks classic from the front, but the simple pearl detail on the heel changes the game completely. Even a classic black sweater can be detailed by having a subtly different neckline or fabric. Absolutely loved this post and your style!!!
xo Soo | http://www.BrownEyedToast.com
Thanks so much Soo. You are all about details as well and you put together your outfits so effortlessly. I can’t believe you even notice the pearl detail of the pumps! Great eye!
Absolutely nothing ordinary about this look, I agree!
Details matter so much! They really can make or break an outfit!
You definitely nailed it here babe.

You are 100% correct that details matter. I am all about details and looking so fashionable. They can really make an outfit perfect and I am all about the details. This look is so casual and chic, and it is perfect for any day of the week. OH MY GOSH and can I talk about those heels. They are so stunning and I think I need a pair for myself. Fashion is so amazing and these shoe scream amazing and unique.

Oh yes they do! I adore all the details here. You’re so good about mixing different trends and making it your own. PS – I need sweater! You’re also killing the fishnets! Xx
Thank you Lily. I love mixing trends but also like to keep a look basic. =)
Yes, its all in the details babe!!! LOVING the details int he top and the jeans babe!
Really adore your chic style.

Marcy
Thank you Marcy! These jeans are one of my favs and definitely will be wearing them more!
First, what an absolutely amazing look! Your style is always perfect. Also, I whole heartedly and completely agree. I used to be very detail oriented and then I had children and the past three years I feel like I’ve drifted from that a bit but now that my oldest is 3 and my littlest is finally sleeping through the night, I have a bit more freedom to pay closer attention to detail and it makes such a difference in the over all look and feel of an entire outfit! Adore those pants too babe!
Manda | http://EvocativelyChosen.com
You are so sweet Manda. When the kids are young it’s hard but I definitely think that it’s all about basics and then adding a little detail here and there to elevate a basic look. You have great style and you totally rock every look!
This black and white outfit is such perfection! I especially adore those classy and chic Chanel pumps. To be honest, this particular model of shoes has been on my wish list for a while — I need to finally purchase those despite the price! I really love how you styled those shoes with the net socks — that makes your already stunning outfit look even more stylish!
http://stylesprinter.com/
Yes these shoes are definitely an investment and they have newer styles for spring (see my link above). But I’ve also seen dupes from Zara that look just like them if you aren’t ready to take the plunge.
Of course the accessories matter.You can be dress in gym but if you have a statement bag you’re on the go girl!
Love your looks simply and inspirational, I m obsessed with all that you mentioned.
Great styling!! ❤️

Haha, so true. I am all about bags too. =)
Completely agree that details makes the outfit and I am a sucker for them too! Loved the exposed zipper on those jeans as well as the fringed asymmetrical hem. The top with studs is so eye catching in the sun. Most of all, the pearl detail on your Chanel pump is both classy and timeless. That would be one pair of shoes I pass down to my daughter. So chic as always Christine.

You are such a shoe girl too – I can tell from your collection. =) Let’s hope your daughters wear our same size as our shoes would go to waste then!
I have to agree with you, details do matter. I’m obsessed with this look. From your top, to your pants and the heels, everything looks so good together. You have a great style.
