5 Ways To Elevate Your Outfit
Life is short, buy the dress.
The way we dress is a great way to express ourselves. A good outfit can make us feel more confident and even happier. Wearing our favorite outfit for an important meeting or putting on our lucky pair of jeans for that hard exam makes us feel better and ready to be our best version when we need the most. Whether getting dressed is your favorite part of the day or just something you need to get done, here are five ways to elevate your outfit so that you can conquer your day with style.
1. Always iron your clothes
2. Add accessories
3. Avoid wearing too many patterns at once
4. Style your clothes
5. Wear it with confidence
Always iron your clothes
No matter how beautiful a piece of clothing is, it won’t look good wrinkled. So, make the extra effort and iron your clothes to give them the chance to look their best. Make sure to read the instructions so that you don’t ruin your favorite dress (it happens to the best of us). Taking care of our clothes will make a big difference on the long run, we will be able to enjoy our favorite clothes for longer and they will always look like new, so always wash, dry and iron the clothes according to their instructions.
Add accessories
Accessories are great way to add a creative touch to your outfit. If you don’t want to complicate things to much avoid mixing metals, stick to either gold or silver. You can add earrings, necklaces, rings and bracelets but choose only one piece of jewelry that’s going to be the center piece, for instance you can choose a big pair of earrings or a big necklace and continue to style your outfit with small simple accessories. If you feel bold you can mix gold with silver or add a bold piece of jewelry, but make sure you balance your outfit with simple, elegant clothes.
Avoid wearing too many patterns in the same outfit
Although the right pattern can make an outfit outstanding, choosing the wrong pattern or too many patterns can also ruin your look. For instance, a pattern that looks pixeled or that changes shape when the material stretches can make your outfit look cheap, patterns that are too big or too round can draw attention to a certain body part, making the entire look unflattering. You don’t have to give up patterns all together! Try different ones and reflect on how they make you look and feel. Choose the pattern one that suits you best and combine it with simple monochromatic clothes.
Style your clothes
In some cases, we choose the right clothes, the right colors and the right size but something still doesn’t add up. Chances are, you are probably not styling your outfit right. Yes, styling also includes accessories, that we already talked about, but there is more to it. For example, if you choose to wear an oversized top you can tuck the front part so that it looks more flattering. An important part of styling consists of hair and makeup, your look is complete once you are ready to live the house, and sometimes the right hair and makeup will define your look. If you are new to hair and makeup stick to simple options such as ponytails, waves, simple braids and a natural makeup look.
Wear it with confidence
No matter how you end up dressing, and whether you follow the rules or not, always trust your instincts. If you like your outfit wear it with confidence and stop looking for approval from others. If fashion is a way of expressing ourselves, the way dress should tell our own story, not someone else’s.
