Sometimes getting dressed is difficult, especially when you have no idea about the trends and rules of the fashion world that you have to follow. Although you see images of models wearing various accessories with one outfit all the time, you should remember that they do so because it is their job to model them. They would not wear them in their daily life. They know the basic rules of style.
Here we have found the fashion rules you must follow to look like a true fashionista. Are you ready to see the tips that will help you improve your look? Here we go!
More than three accessories is a crowd.
Although you should never leave the house without using at least one accessory, remember that you should not use more than three! Otherwise, you will confuse and mess up the looks that land on you. Accessories have the power to enhance your look and make it spectacular. If you use two or three, they must match each other with colour, style and material.
Jeans and t shirts will permanently save you.
It is worth investing in a pair of jeans and t shirts, but when buying them, make sure they are as classic as possible because you can combine them with any other t shirt. For family styling, try paring out jeans with family tees. They never go out of fashion. They will last several years in your closet.
Use elements that define your look
Such as printed scarves, bags that break with the traditional and shoes that are out of the classic. This way, you will make your outfit more avant-garde and eye-catching.
Certain accessories can change your look.
Belts or necklaces can impact your style, but be careful not to abuse them because you could look exaggerated and be breaking rule number one. You can also include some customized enamel pins on your jackets or bag as a personal statement that doesn’t have to cost a lot. These pins can add a great pop of color or personality to any outfit. Enamel pins are having a moment right now, and they are also affordable so you can buy a few and switch them out to change up your look.
The bag does not always have to match the shoes.
Gone are the days when the bag had to match the shoe. Now it’s better to complement your colourful shoes with a bag in relaxed tones.
The watch is left at home if you wear an evening dress
The watches are exclusive to complement a casual, sports or business look. If you wear an evening dress, this accessory is unnecessary; it is best to replace it with a bracelet.
Say yes to high heels.
Heels give your outfit a plus; they make you feel safe, sensual and confident. If you don’t wear them every day, at least wear them when you need to look fancy.
Have a uniform outfit
We are not talking about the school uniform, but about a set of pieces you like, are comfortable, and fit you well. This way, you can use it as often as possible and always look perfect.
Find a good tailor – fit is everything!
In an ideal world, we would pilgrimage to London’s Savile Row and have coats, blazers and dresses made from the most delicate fabrics tailored for us by a skilled designer. But you can also find a realistic alternative around the corner: small tailoring shops that ensure that the new pencil skirt ends in the right place and that you no longer sink into the vintage jacket. Only if clothes fit well do you look perfect in them. So invest a few extra rupees and let the tailor you trust shorten, widen, or sew as much as possible.
Don’t worry about clothing size.
36, 38 or 44 – these are just stupid numbers that say nothing about whether a piece of clothing fits well and whether you feel comfortable. Only buy items that suit you. And cut out the small pieces of paper with the size information if you are irritated that you are wearing a size larger than usual.
Find out which cuts flatter you – and stick to them.
“If only I weighed five kilos less, the skinny jeans would fit perfectly…” Instead of working through such thoughts, you should find the proper cut for your figure. Do you regularly get compliments when you wear a slightly flared dress? Then buy another one! Do you feel much more comfortable in bell bottoms than in skin-tight jeans? Then make them your trademark. Are you the mini skirt and sneaker type? Then why would you hide in a maxi skirt?
Pay attention to materials.
Good material is not necessarily more expensive! Buy a classic white cotton blouse or a beautifully patterned viscose dress – basics that are ideal accomplices for fashion imposture. Be careful with synthetic fibres! A wrap dress made of polyester jersey that charges your hair or sweaters made of acrylic with fluff will quickly look like a grab-and-go table.
Beware of the sale: Don’t fall into a shopping frenzy!
The trick is: spend money to save! Do you know how much money you invest in fashion every month? Write it down – you spend a lot in passing, for a bargain in the discounter or the somewhat too petite but cheap ballerinas in the sale. So at home, you collect mountains of shoes that pinch and clothes that look like clothes collection after the first wash. The pretty sum that comes together in this way is better invested in a high-quality part. With a great handbag made of genuine leather, you show much more style than with four different models made of plastic.
Lipstick, lipstick, lipstick
Not only are the clothes you wear decisive for a great appearance, but also details such as hairstyle and make-up. If you love simple outfits such as shirt blouses with jeans or plain-coloured dresses, you can wear bright lipstick with them, for example. You will be remembered: “That’s the one who always has such great red lips…”
Organize your closet
After clearing out, you can get an overview of your wardrobe. Colour combinations that run like a red thread through your wardrobe help to establish a personal style and become less dependent on the whims of fashion. Are you maybe the black and white type? Excellent! Or do you always end up with light grey, cream and white? Congratulation! Stick with it and only treat yourself to a fashion refresh now and then.
Enter into long-term relationships
For example, buy a tailored blazer. It is timeless and looks perfect with jeans and Converse Chucks, khaki trousers and an ethnic scarf or elegantly with Marlene trousers and a blouse. Other textile companions: dark blue jeans, an off-white or camel-coloured cardigan and the little black dress.
Expand your hunting ground
Shopping through the pedestrian zone and then getting angry that your colleague bought the same thing? Try somewhere else: in thrift stores, Asian shops, a small label boutique or online shops that not everyone knows.
Pay attention to well-groomed shoes.
Have you ever seen stylish fashionistas with dirty shoes or worn-out soles? No! Therefore, take care of your shoes regularly, waterproof them and give them to the cobbler regularly.
Final Words
