The Olsen twins Mary-Kate and Ashley, are the style icons for many. The twins inspire different looks by blending their individual style with the boho-chic style. Their habit of raiding each other's closet only seem to enhance their seemingly infinite variety. Here, are a few style secrets to steal from the Olsen twin's uber-stylish wardrobe.

1. A fashion statement is powered by your personality
Ashley Olsen teaches one subtle yet profound lesson. For the world to see, recognize and hear your fashion voice, it may take years. But that should not act as a dampener. Wherever you are, what you wear definitely makes a statement about you. And that gets enhanced when the statement being made is backed by your personality. So, without much ado about popularity, ensure that your personality shines brilliantly through the clothes you wear.
2. Layering is as important as getting your priorities right
Whatever may be the opinion of people, there is definitely a certain way to layer the clothes. The Olsen twins seem to have mastered and perfected the art and science of layering. This consists of pairing the correct hat, necklace, bracelet and a pair of shades to sweep away everyone with that edgy look. Draping a chunky knit over a funky looking dress or the like matters a lot it seems.
3. If you want to set a trend you have to stay away from the crowd
Let us come straight to the point. In 2011, maxi skirts and dresses flushed the fashion parades and fall/winter runway shows. Before that time itself, in the 2010 Elle Style Awards, the inimitable twins were seen in beautiful gowns featuring a see-through skirt overlay. That was daring to be different and it paid off handsomely (or beautifully shall we say?). The sense of fashion forecasting comes through intuition and sheer experience and it matters a lot when it comes to defining fashion.
4. Elegance has no expiry date
The body ages, the dresses go out of fashion, but elegance is eternal. It always stays in vogue and always lends beauty. For instance, the combination of black and white has held a bewitching charm over people from the bygone times. And that is a comforting thing, to know that the basic elements of elegance are timeless and will always remain so. If you are in a state of confusion over what you should be wearing for that grand party, think no more than the black and white combination.
