Have you looked in the mirror lately?
Maybe you noticed that your look is a little dated. Or, perhaps you’ve realized that you still dress like a teenager.
It’s time to start looking like the sophisticated adult that you are.
You don’t have to be born a fashionista to look put together and chic. You just need to adhere to a few style rules next time you go shopping.
Improve your appearance and vibe you give off with a quick change of wardrobe. Here is how to dress with style and confidence like a pro.
It’s All About the Fit
Have you ever seen a woman wearing a simple pair of jeans and a t-shirt, and yet she looked very stylish? You wonder how it looks so pulled together and chic on her. When you wear the same thing it looks like a lazy choice on laundry day.
If your everyday clothes fit you better, you could look like her too. When an outfit is tailored to your unique body, it instantly looks more stylish.
One tip is to factor in the cost of tailoring when buying new clothes. Don’t invest in a really expensive pair of jeans. Instead, buy the less expensive pair and then use the leftover money to get them tailored.
Don’t Spend Much on Trends
Trendy clothing can be fun to wear, but they often don’t have much longevity.
Tie-dye might be everywhere right now, but in 6 months, will you still want to wear it?
Instead of buying high-end versions of trendy clothing, spend your money on cheaper versions. The pieces won’t last as long, but by the time it’s threadbare, you’ll be sick of it anyway.
Invest in Timeless Pieces
If you were to hire a fashion stylist, they’d all tell you the same thing: invest in timeless clothes and shoes.
What does “timeless” mean? For one, they never go out of style. Two, they are pieces you will always have a need for in your wardrobe.
Some examples would be:
- Black or brown knee-high boots
- A camel-colored trench coat
- The Little Black Dress
- A navy blue blazer
- Black trousers
When it comes to clothing, you get what you pay for. If it’s more expensive, it’s probably going to last for years if you take care of them.
Take Care of Your Clothes and Shoes
Nothing makes someone look less sophisticated than a huge stain on their shirt. The same goes for scuffs on shoes and purses. That’s why you should get into the habit of taking care of your clothes.
When you’re not using a purse, store it inside a cloth bag. Shoes shouldn’t be thrown into the back of your closet. Put together a shoe rack so they don’t get squished.
Finally, don’t cut corners when cleaning expensive clothes. Take them to the dry cleaners to maintain the fabric’s integrity.
