If you want to ensure that you always look amazing, then there are a few fashion tips that you should know, which will help you to put together better outfits no matter what your style.
Make sure you know your body type
If you take only one thing front his post let it be this; if you learn what your body type is, whether it be apple, pear, oblong or something else, then it will become a whole lot easier for you to work out which garments will flatter your shape in all the right place and which are best avoided, which will make shopping for clothing especially online a whole lot easier too.
Get your bra size measured
So many women are wearing the wrong size bra for their needs, and when they do this, it means that their clothes do not fit them nearly as well as they might. By having your bra size measured by a professional, you can ensure that you are getting the right level of support for your frame, which means your clothes will flatter your figure more when your support garments are right.
Do some tailoring
Most of the clothing we buy has been made to fit the average woman at each size, which means that most of our outfits are not a perfect fit. By having a professional tailor take them in, let them out or do various other fixes, we can make them fit our forms more exactly and when your clothes fit well, they will always look much better on you.
It may even be worth learning some basic sewing skills because then you will be able to alter hemlines and waistlines and add additional flourishes to high street clothing so that it is more unique to you.
You don’t have to stick to the women’s section
One really good tip to bear in mind is that you absolutely do not have to buy all of your clothing from the women’s sections of your favourite fashion stores. For example, men’s sneakers are often cooler, more comfortable and supportive, so if you can find a pair that fits, there is no reason not to pair them with your favourite athleisure outfit, or it is often the case that men’s shirts are made of a higher quality, and will look great on your worn in the boyfriend style. When you don’t have to stick to the women’s section, you will often be able to put together more interesting, unique outfits, so don’t limit yourself.
Make sure your wardrobe is stocked with timeless classics
From leather biker jackets and little black dresses to crisp white shirts and camel trench coats, there are a number of fashion items that never go out of style, and which will always make you look more put together Having them in your wardrobe will make getting dressed each day so much easier and ensure that you always look stylish and sophisticated come what may.
Stock up on scarves
When it comes to accessories, scarves punch well above their weight which is why you should have at least one woollen scarf, one silk scarf, one wrap scarf or pashmina and one cotton scarf in your wardrobe. You can then use them to dress up your outfits, add detail to plain outfits and ensure that all of your outfits have an extra layer of texture, colour and pattern on display. Scarves can also be used to hide a multitude of sins.
Find a pair of jeans that fit
Jeans are a staple of most people’s wardrobes because they are comfortable, easy to dress up or down and universally flattering, but that is only the case if you are able to find jeans that flatter your form.
That is why it is so important that you take the time to work out which jeans look best on you, whether they be skinny jeans, baggy boyfriend jeans, bootcut or something else entirely.
Even if the jeans that flatter you the most are not the jeans that are in fashion right now, because they look good on you they will always work with the rest of your outfit and ensure you look your best. That is the power of good jeans.
Layer up
One of the easiest ways to look like you have made an effort with your outfit, even if it is only basic in reality, is to use layers. If you layer a plain white t-shirt with a pink pashmina and a camel-coloured coat, then it will look more like you have put some thought into your outfit than if you just walk around in a white top and jeans or if you wear a crisp white shirt over a pale blue camisole and jeans, then it will look more stylish than just the shirt and jeans alone. Experiment with layering and you will soon see its benefits in the style stakes.
Don’t buy something just because it’s in the sale
So many women end up buying and wearing clothing simply because it is cheap, when it might not be the most flattering, the most fashionable or even something that goes with the rest of their outfit.
If you want to look consistently stylish, then you need to plan your clothing purchases. You need to buy garments that fit you well, offer good quality and value for money, and which can be mixed and matched with your existing clothing, So, just because it is in the sale, does not mean it is a good idea to buy it.
Avoid over-accessorising
We all know that accessories can elevate any outfit to the next level and make you look even more put together, but if you throw on every accessory at every opportunity, you might end up looking like a dog’s dinner.
You need to stick to one or two key accessories if you want to look stylishly understand, So, if you are wearing a statement necklace, stick with simple stud earrings or if you are wearing a bracelet stack, then don’t bother with any other accessories apart from your handbag.
Spend more money on your bag and shoes
Speaking of handbags, it almost always makes sense to spend more money on a high-quality handbag and shoes, because when you have the right bag and shoes, then even the simplest jeans and t-shirt outfit look more high class. You don’t have to spend thousands on a designer bag, but choose a high-quality leather bag and shoes in a neutral colour that will go with most things, and it will be a lot easier to look your best.
Tuck it in
If you’re wearing a t-shirt or shirt, then tuck it in at the front, but leave it loose at the back. This will make it seem like you have put more thought into your outfit, and it is almost always a more flattering way to wear your casual clothing.
Don’t be afraid to stand out
Whether it’s rocking red pumps or clashing tiger print with botanical prints in your outfit, then you should not be afraid to stand out and make bold fashion choices because so few people bother to do so that you will make a lasting statement if you do.
When it comes to fashion, anything goes and you should always dress in the way that feels right to you. That being said, the above tips will help you to get it right every time, no matter what you decide to wear.
