Okay, let’s admit it. We all wish to look our best and make an impression with our style sense. Being aware of what’s trending in the fashion sphere or following the latest trends is all fun and game but not knowing what really works for your body shape or what clothes make you confident may lead to style blunders.
So how do you save yourself from making fashion faux pas? Worry not! We are sharing some easy-to-adapt fashion tips that will ensure you have your style game sorted, always!
Prepare a List Before Shopping
Prior to shopping, it is better to make a list of clothes or accessories you plan to buy. This way, you will know exactly what type of ensembles can be picked up at a certain shopping spree. Also, avoid buying clothes simply because you are at a mall or a store, as compulsive shopping only adds to the clutter in the closet. Opt for wearable and interchangeable clothes that can come in handy for your formal or casual wear requirements!
Pick Clothes That Flatter Your Shape
We all have unique body shapes and it is best to embrace the same and flaunt outfits that complement your body type. For example, fit and flare dresses make a lovely option for hourglass shapes as they accentuate the natural shape of the body.
Know When and How Much to Show Off
While daring to bare may be a highly anticipated statement in fashion, baring it all at once is not an ideal thing to do. Consider the occasion and dress code prior to flaunting your best features. Ideally stick to just one body part to show off including the shoulders, cleavage, midriff, or legs. Always maintain a balance for flaunting your body. Remember, fashion is not about revealing ensembles, but wearing something that defines you completely!
Don’t Be Afraid of Colours
The colours are beautiful! From neutrals, pastels, and brights, to neons; colours are formed by the universe to enjoy and experiment with. So if you are someone who always preferred pastels or toned-down colours and feel apprehensive to try bold hues, then it is better to get past your fear of hues. Select a bright hue plain or minimal print top and experience the difference. If you feel confident in the same, then go ahead and add more bright-tone pieces to your closet. Similarly, if you gravitate towards bold tones, then for a change pick a subtle hue outfit and enjoy the shift in colour preference!
Experiment with Prints
Prints and patterns add a fun touch to the garments. Choose clothes featuring popular prints like florals, stripes, checks, polka dots, ditsy, abstract, etc and select them in small, medium, or bold designs. Combine prints with plains to balance the chosen look. For example, a polka print top can look fabulous with plain trousers or jeans. Similarly, a plain formal top can look best with striped pants, checkered formal pants, or a printed skirt!
Curate Your Accessories
You could be wearing a fabulous outfit but it will only feel complete when you add a set of accessories to it. Build up your accessory collection and add pieces that can complement your outfits. For earrings, a pair of studs, chandeliers and drop earrings make a go-to choice. Your neckwear collection can include a chain, choker, pearl strings, boho thread neckpiece, and one studded heavy neckpiece for occasional wear. Also, curate some trendy bangles, kadas, and bracelets to accentuate your everyday as well as special occasion look!
Invest in Some Classic Pieces
As a fashion rule, every closet must have some basic and classic ensembles that contribute to the capsule wardrobe. It essentially includes a plain tee, white shirt, denim jacket, shrug, black trousers or skirt, a comfy pair of jeans, and a little black dress. You can mix and match these pieces of clothes as per your requirement and style. Also, keep a few classic accessories like a string of pearls, stud earrings, printed scarf, nude pumps, black tote bag, etc handy to complement the chosen outfit!
