Whether you prefer a long-sleeve or sleeveless option, a body-conscious turtleneck is key to achieving Richie’s ultra-clean look.
We suggest:
Tibi Light Sleeveless Sweater ($198) in White
4. Elongate your legs with a high-waisted skirt.
Fake it, ‘til ya make it, right? Lengthen your lower half with a monochrome high-waisted skirt.

Make sure to punctuate your Richie-inspired look with a pair of eye-catching pointy-toe heels.
We suggest:
