If there is one staple Tyla always has on ready, it's just about every animal print under the sun. Go wild with different fabrics for tops or bottoms and play on the prints by layering with mesh or exposed bikinis. For this approach, consider short hems to elongate your legs and strappy heels to maximise the illusion.

Embracing the millennium fashion bug, one of Tyla's go-to throwbacks can be seen in updated Y2K Core which is defined by eye-catching metallic looks. Tyla typically swaps the futuristic aesthetic for a bling approach so look to sequins and cool tones like arctic, lilac or grey to make body glitter and Euphoria style makeup shine.

For more formal apparel, be daring. Tyla loves a sexy and skimpy outfit so look for bare necklines and short hems. Bandage dresses are great throwbacks to update with bold head-turning accessories. Bring on the bling with playful anklets or oversized rings and bracelets.
