Many women love using their clothes to express themselves and their personal style. Indeed, feeling comfortable with one’s outfit can give anyone an instant boost of confidence. However, some women see being fashionable as very challenging to achieve. They may believe it’s a skill they haven’t mastered yet. There are also others who think they can’t possibly pull off stylish looks because they have a limited selection of attractive pieces in their closets.
Fortunately, you don't have to overhaul your wardrobe so that you can improve your style and have an easier time looking your best every day. Even small changes to how you organize and choose your clothes can have a big impact on your look and fashion sensibilities. Whether you’re going to the office, running errands, or dining out with loved ones, here are some game-changing fashion tricks that will help you appear chic and confident with less fuss every single time:
Part of putting together a fashionable outfit is knowing how to pick pieces that complement each other. But this can be difficult to do if you can’t see everything you own. To help you save time when coming up with great-looking outfits, it pays to declutter and organize your closet using a clear categorizing system. Adopting an organization scheme early on will prevent your closet from getting out of control and maintaining it will be more sustainable in the long run.
Begin by removing clothes you no longer wear or love. As for what to do with them, you can either donate or sell them. Now that you’re left with clothes you like, group similar items together. You can categorize them into outerwear, long-sleeve shirts, pants, dresses, and jeans. Hang up any items that need to be hung so they won’t get wrinkled. For the rest of your garments, you can fold or roll them to save on precious closet space. For example, you can roll up your workout and denim leggings and put them all in a dedicated bin.
When putting your newly curated and organized clothes back into your closet, reserve the front and center area for items you wear often. For instance, if you must wear professional attire every day for work, make sure all office wear is right where you can easily see them when you open your closet.
For your less frequently worn clothes, such as formalwear and seasonal outerwear, store them closer to the back. This way, you’ll be able to easily put together stylish outfits without having to spend hours fishing through your closet each day.
Some women often feel shopping is a daunting experience because they aren’t sure what suits them best. Since fashion trends often change at the drop of a hat, you may want to forego them entirely. Instead, it’s best to invest in clothes that you know complement your body shape well.
To find out which styles to purchase more of, look at the most flattering pieces you have in your wardrobe. Let’s take bootcut jeans as an example. These offer a flared fit that starts from the knees and gradually widens down to the hems. If you like how these bottoms make you look a bit taller, then try getting other types of pants with similarly flared ends. In the same vein, if you notice that A-line dresses work well for your figure, then you should try wearing pieces in a similar style. You can also invest in shaping garments that can further enhance your silhouette, such as our Great Shapes hosiery.
Remember that all bodies, regardless of their shapes and sizes, are beautiful. And once you start embracing your uniqueness, you may also notice your own distinct features. You can then highlight these assets with the right choice of clothes.
Keep in mind that it’s best to show off only one of your favorite features at a time to achieve a more put-together look. Otherwise, trying to draw attention to various parts of your figure or body at once can result in a visually clashing appearance. So, if you’re proud of your legs, for example, opt for long-sleeved mini dresses that can showcase your legs while keeping other parts of your body covered up.
To add a bit of mystery, you can also flaunt your best assets more subtly. For example, you can get tights in various deniers and wear them to highlight your legs without revealing too much skin. Denier indicates the transparency of a pair of tights, typically ranging from five to 100. The lower the number, the sheerer the tights will be. On the other hand, tights with 50 deniers or higher are more opaque.
If you’re looking to reinvent your style or want to liven up your wardrobe, the good news is that you don’t need to stock up on tons of clothes with bright clashing colors or patterns. Instead, you can invest in monochromatic clothes that will serve as the foundations of your outfits and then add an instant pop of visual interest with a few colorful pieces.
In case you’re still new to incorporating colors into your ensembles, you can start by choosing a statement color that will be the star of your outfit. Put together your neutral base outfit pieces, then add a pop of color with a vibrant pink coat or a mint green purse, for example. Your statement color can also be incorporated in a subtle way, such as by letting the bright hues of your high-quality socks peek over your ankle boots.
Wearing stylish clothes can have an empowering effect on their wearers. While coming up with chic outfits every day isn’t always easy to do, there are various ways you can improve the process without sacrificing style. When it comes to selecting what clothes to stock your wardrobe with, always prioritize what makes you feel comfortable and what’s easy for you to put together. Also, why not give these tips above a try? You may just be surprised how much they can transform your everyday fashion routines.
