“Beauty lies in the eye of the beholder.”
No, wait!
Your attire can also make you look beautiful. It can enhance your personality, pops your complexion, and helps you make a statement everywhere you go. Plus, following trends is something you deserve. As Charles Hix puts it:
“Looking good isn’t self-importance; it’s self-respect.”
Developing your personal style is incredibly rewarding and worth the effort. Not to mention, it stumps people around you, allowing them to look at you from a whole new lens.
Check out the seven ways you can adapt to dress to impress:
- Don’t chase trends all the time
Even though it is good to know what’s hot and what’s not, you should avoid wearing everything featured in Vogue. Instead, look for styles that suit your personality, your body figure, and your lifestyle.
Do not underestimate the power of self-perception. When you dress to let people know you feel secure in your skin, you know how to present yourself; it makes a huge difference. On the flip side, if you dress poorly and carry yourself around like it doesn’t matter, it could indicate that you have little sense of self-worth.
So, pick the trends that fall in line with your sense of self.
- Comfort is key
No, it doesn’t mean you could wear your oldest tees and PJs to the office meetings. There is no reason to wear the rattiest sleepwear at work (unless they have called everyone at 3 in the morning!)
It means your comfort should come first, regardless of the trends you pick. Here are the tips you should remember in this regard:
- Don’t wear clothes you have never worn before. If it is a new trend, you might end up being overly concerned about how it looks or if it fits well.
- It is a good idea to wear something you are accustomed to. This speaks to people about your personality and statement fashion.
Worrying about the skirt length or fitness of the shirt can consume your thoughts the entire day. We suggest you test-drive an outfit before you select it for a special occasion. For instance, Satin dresses has to be your first choice when it’s about balancing class and comfort. Many beauty bloggers recommend Satin dresses by Nolabels.in as this store has the updated collection of comfort and beautiful Satin pieces. Make sure it is comfortable enough to stand, sit, and move around.
- Widen the network
Don’t shop at the same old stores every time. In fact, look around, figure out if there is anything suitable at the newest store in the mall. You may even end up finding statement fashion items at unexpected places like eBay.
You don’t need to step on the high street all the time. There is a good chance you would find a host of impressive pieces at rusty, old thrift stores.
- Flatter your best features
This seems obvious, but we tend to overlook this tip sometimes. You should make sure that people at work (especially your crush) sees the best of you. And clothes could help hide the hideous and enhance your features.
Get help from your fashion freak friend if you are stuck in a rut:
- Eyes maybe your best feature. You should wear a color that brings them out. For instance, if you have oceanic blue eyes, wear a sweater in the same color to enhance them.
- We are not asking you to show off all your assets. Instead, be subtle. You can wear a skirt to show off your legs but wear a sweater atop to cover the upper body.
- Recreate old pieces
Learning how to upcycle your clothes allows you to showcase your style and follow the latest trends without negatively affecting the planet. Creating a sustainable closet requires a little more than the few pieces you already have.
For example, you can update a cozy old sweater with a bit of imagination. The jeans you haven’t worn in years could transform into a cute pair of shorts or a denim skirt. All it asks for is a little confidence and creative thinking.
You can recreate old tees and dresses by dyeing, embellishing, customizing, or wearing them in new ways. For instance, slip a plus-size leather jacket over an old evening dress, put on the flats, and you are all set for a casual day at the office.
- Look sharp
You should dress sharp whenever you are trying to stand out. It could be at the seasons’ end party, an interview, or a first date with someone you adore. You don’t have to spend tons of money to look sharp. It is okay to fancy the branded attire; this is not the only key to look sharp.
One way to dress sharp is to stay aligned with your unique style and stick by it. Avoid tacky additions that let people focus on your clothing instead of your entire being. Another factor in dressing sharp is to adhere to seasonal trends. For example, it would be absurd to show up in a topical shirt and shorts in winter and twenty-five degrees.
- Remember the details
Even if you follow the trends and buy the most modern clothes, all your hard work goes under the rug if you ignore details. For women, this means paying attention to makeup. Meanwhile, both men and women should brush their hair, wash their faces, and polish their shoes. Plus, learn which perfumes to wear when.
Also, make sure you wear the right colors. Colors should be fun and appropriate for the occasions. For example, red gives out a bold vibe, but black looks professional and composed. The most important thing is acknowledging the dress code at your workplace or the party you will attend.
Verdict – look good, feel good!
We know how each of us loves to lounge in the sleepwear and do nothing. But, this isn’t how the world works. You need to get out there, make a statement, and interact with people. Doing that in sloppy attire won’t do good to your reputation.
We are not asking you to follow fashion for others. Rather, do it for yourself. Looking at that stunning figure reflecting from the mirror will make you feel proud and confident. And this is the dose you need to maintain composure and decorum on the hardest of days!
