Top Fashion Tips You Should Know
While we get dressed every day, getting dressed or putting together an outfit remains a daunting task. It’s quite tricky and can easily be the most frustrating part of your morning. There’s a high chance you have, at some point, stood in front of your closet full of clothes and thought you have nothing to wear. Luckily for you, you are not alone in this. Many people struggle to choose an outfit that gives them ultimate satisfaction. Understandably, you want to remain as fashionable as possible, and that’s why most of us decide to go for top brands like Gucci as much as possible. But even when you go with Gucci, you are not guaranteed to look stylish or fashionable if you don’t get it right. The following are some of the top tips that should help you get dressed right once and for all;
Ensure your clothes fit perfectly
Whatever clothing brand you go with, be it Gucci, Fendi, Versace, Chanel, Prada, or Ralph Lauren, having clothes that perfectly fit is a must. It makes you look polished and feels more comfortable. The last thing you need is pants that drag on the ground or dresses that bunch up awkwardly because they will never make you feel stylish no matter their price tag. However, there’s a way you can play with over-and under-sized items while remaining fashionable and not being sloppy. For women that love blouses they can go with contemporary separates or stay pure.
Avoid buying something just because it’s a bargain.
It’s easy to be attracted by a massive discount, and it’s understandable because when shopping, you should always make the most out of huge markdowns. However, if it’s something that you don’t need to add to your closet, you don’t have to spend money on it. Never buy something just because you feel it’s a great deal. No matter how affordable it was, purchasing something you’ll never wear, it’s only a waste of money.
Be selective with showing too much skin.
Try to be more conservative with your dress wear. Avoid giving up too much at once. For instance, if you are wearing a low-cut dress, your focus should be on the cleavage, and you don’t need bare arms or legs. Likewise, a body-hugging dress will look stylish and fashionable with a sensible neckline and hem. On the other hand, if you opt to go with a skirt that is a few inches above the knee, you should make sure it’s flared and not tight to avoid attracting too much attention.
Understand your personal style
Coming up with a signature style can take a long time, but once you nail it, your dressing will be much better than ever. Developing a personal style is all about experimenting and coming up with a look that gives you the most satisfaction. Don’t be too rigid if you want to be fashionable and stylish. Take your time to play with various colors and shapes to find what goes with your body.
Play with color
Adding color to your dress style can be an excellent way of remaining fashionable without having to do too much. However, you can quickly get it all wrong together and end up looking awkward. If you are not sure about adding colors to your look, start with only one colorful piece and ensure the rest is neutral. As you get more comfortable with colors and try different ones, you’ll understand those that work best for your style. Once you have the right combinations, your fashion sense will be enviable.
Dress for the occasion
Most of us fail at choosing the right dress code for different occasions and either end up looking like we are out of place or like a total joke. For instance, if you get invited to a party that requires you to dress in cocktail attire or a black-tie affair showing up otherwise will only make you look ridiculous. Whatever occasion you get invited to, it will require a particular outfit, and that’s where most of us go wrong. Ensure you pick out the right look, and if you are unsure, it won’t do any harm to consult a stylish friend or someone who knows more about fashion.
Dress according to your body type
For ladies, whether you are tall or curvy, petite, boyish, or blessed with curves dressing appropriately, especially in a way that flatters your body, should be a priority. It makes you feel confident and stylish. Taller women can pull off an excellent look with longer hemlines, while petite women should go with something that doesn’t look like it’s too much. Hour-glass figures should go for something that accentuates their physique.
You don’t have to be a fashionista to look elegant every time you step out of the house. You only need practice and shopping right for clothes that match your body shape. Add that with a few fashion tips, and you’ll be unstoppable.
