Some people just seem to look amazing, no matter what they wear or when you see them.
If you’re struggling to match pumps and pants or tell the difference between aviators and lariats, we’re here to help.
Here’s how to style clothes with shoes and jewelry, so that you feel a million dollars.
How To Style Clothes
Before we get down to business, it goes without saying, your clothes should compliment your body shape. You don’t have to be skinny to look good, but different clothes and cuts can look better on some shapes than others.
You also don’t need to buy anything special. Apparently, the average American owns seven pairs of jeans! You don’t need anymore, use these tips, and look at how to make cute outfits with what you already have.
Once you’ve got your outfit down, it’s time to accessories.
Jewelry
Be careful not to overdo it with your jewelry. If your outfit speaks volumes, less is probably more. If your outfit is sleek and simple, you can be bold with your jewelry choices.
Mixing Materials
It’s also okay to mix things up. Different materials and metals can give a vintage look which is all the rage right now. If your favorite earrings are silver and your favorite bangle is bronze, go for it.
Adding Color
You can use your jewelry to add pops of color too. If your outfit is one the plain side, this is how to style it up. Have you thought about precious stone necklaces or tanzanite rings?
Layering
Layering can also look great. Use a long necklace to create different lengths or two different necklaces, a plain short one and a longer one with a feature pendant for example.
Why not try this with multiple bangles too? You only need a few and try to balance them with a ring or two on your opposite hand.
Highlight Features
If a particular part of your body looks good, own it. Use large earings to bring attention to your face and features. Wear a statement piece as a necklace to highlight your neckline.
A belt around your waist will show off your curves, and you can use it to break up longer garments.
Shoes
Some say that diamonds are a girl’s best friend. But if you can’t afford diamonds, it’s definitely shoes!
Bookending
Bookending is color matching the top and bottom of your outfit. This makes it look cohesive and gives some visual interest. For example, if you have blond hair, try white, cream, or gold footwear.
Break the Rules
Sandals aren’t just for dresses or the beach. Likewise, boots and sneakers can look great with a skirt.
As long as you’re following the S.O.F.A method, you should be fine. If your unfamiliar, S.O.F.A. stands for Season, Occasion, Formality, and Activity. So just make sure your shoes are appropriate for all of those things.
Don’t Over Print It
Just like you should pair back your jewelry if you’re outfit is loud, the same goes with your shoes. Try not to fix patterns in your shoes and you’re outfit.
