Essential Fashion Tips to Ensure You Always Look Stylish
Style is the unique fashion expression of every person. Being a teenager and following trends to fit into your desired aesthetic even if it means loud quarrels with family is a normal occurrence. Or to the contrary, being shy and not doing anything out of the ordinary, protecting parents' peace. You can easily get lost in both. As we grow, so does our style. Still, there are some rules you can follow whichever fashion style you rock. They can be your reminder for each and every piece of clothes, shoes, or accessory in your closet.
Start with essentials
When choosing the aesthetic and the silhouette you want to have in your perfect style, make a visual board of the looks you want to adopt. Don’t choose according to age and gender, just pick what you like. Now make a list of the clothes and accessorize worn on chosen pictures. Find the pieces that are repeating. Then also mark the unique pieces and accessorize your preference. They can be a few graphic shirts, jeans, and sweats, but they could also be blouses, skirts, and a few dresses. The repeating clothes are your essentials, your basics on which you are building your style.
Choose underwear carefully
After defining the style and the shape, to be certain those fit and show your body perfectly you need some good underwear. The first condition for the underwear is that you like it. The perfect underwear will make your curves look even better (if that is even possible), and it can even upscale some combinations of the clothes. Nowadays many companies provide the same style in multiple colours, and the same colours in multiple styles. Find your nude, the black, and some pretty colour or pattern – those should be enough for the start.
Go for the neutrals
When we have mentioned the basics, we didn’t tell you which colour to choose. This is because your chosen style might come in a variety of colours. The point of the basics is to match. The easiest way, however, is to choose neutral tones as your basics. It can be goth black, Lolita pastel pink, French Riviera white, or 70’s shades of brown. The other colours can be navy blue, olive green, beige, grey, and others in their many varieties.
Invest in your jewellery
Most people often than not wear jewellery made from gold or silver (or any cheaper alternative in similar colours). Whereas there are classic theories that these two metals should not be mixed in the same combination, the fashion begs to differ. More important than the materials used, buy unique jewellery that will complete any look you come up with. Your other obligation when it comes to jewellery is to keep it clean. This will be most successfully done by ultrasonic cleaning that you can do at home.
Shop trends wisely
With so many different trends going in and out of style each season that pumps up fast fashion, it is quite easy to buy a ‘one piece’. This one-piece can turn into multiple if it doesn’t match with your existing closet, it could be worn once before being forgotten in the corner or simply being of poor quality. Shop the clothes that fit you and your closet. Every piece should be a match for at least a few more.
Mix patterns, designs, or colours
While learning about your style, you might read rules like – ‘do not mix plaid with stripes’, ‘wear only one piece with bold design’ or ‘never mix green or red with pink’. Erase that from your mind immediately. Off course, some styles won’t involve such eventful combinations, but that still doesn’t make them wrong or a fashion sin. Fashion is a statement, so don’t be afraid to make one!
Accessorize to make a point
The main point of the accessorize is to tie in a look or to polish it. It can be minimal, it can be in your face design, and even quite unconventional. You don’t need to worry about matching shoes and bags – it is only one more fashion myth that has been busted multiple times. Wear a shoe you step in like a boss, wear a backpack with the dress, match the unmatchable if you like it that way. Wear it proudly and love your outfits, and thus your point is made.
Explore the idea of a capsule wardrobe
If you find it hard and confusing to have a full closet with clothes you easily forget about, consider making a capsule wardrobe for yourself. This is a concept of a wardrobe that fills one suitcase, but it has everything you need. Everything in the capsule should match with maybe a few exceptions. Build on that one some more dynamic or risqué pieces and you’re ready to take the stage as a stylish beauty that you are!
