Style your wardrobe with confidence by following our fashion tips.
- Create a capsule wardrobe. You should have a few wardrobe staples. These include an iconic little black dress, perfect jeans, a blazer in a neutral colour, T-shirts, button-downs, and a leather jacket. The key to looking stylish is to invest in a mix-and-match collection of basics. 2. Make certain your clothes are perfectly fitted. Hiring a tailor is a great way to make any piece of clothing look stunning. Clothing that is tailored not only looks more polished but also feels better. Dresses and pants that drag or bunch awkwardly will not make you look stylish. You can play around with the over- or under-sized pieces in your capsule wardrobe to make it feel fashionable and not sloppy. 3. Balance proportions. It is important to style your outfits in a way that creates aesthetic harmony. You can achieve this by wearing clothes that fit your body shape. If you’re going to wear oversized clothing or clothes with unusual shapes, keep the rest of your look fitted. Try pairing a crop top tight with jeans with wide legs or a top with puff shoulders with straight-leg trousers. 4. Discover your style. You can start by creating a mood board. It can take you years to develop your signature style. Personal style is an adventure. You never know what you will find in the changing room until you try it on. You shouldn’t let the categories of “menswear”, “womenswear”, or “other” dictate your shopping. Play around with shapes and colours to see what suits your body. 5. Learn to shop better. You can avoid accumulating items in your closet that you will never wear by learning how to shop. Style will come naturally when you have a wardrobe full of items that you love. 6. Add a belt. A belt is a great way to add a touch of polish to any outfit. It can also balance out an outfit that might otherwise not work, such as a long cashmere cardigan and a billowy midi-skirt. 7. Have fun with colour. Start with one piece of colour and keep the rest neutral if you are nervous about adding colour to your outfit. You’ll discover which colour combinations suit your style as you become more familiar with colours. Look at a colour wheel for ideas. 8. Combine patterns and textures. It’s time to stop matching your bag and shoes. Clashing textures and patterns make a bold statement. Start with neutral textures and patterns, such as stripes, and fabrics like knits and leather. Then, add sequins or paisleys to small items (like a clutch, scarf, or tie) until you find what you like.
