Have you recently experienced a sense of dullness and irrelevance in your wardrobe? Did you look in the mirror after dressing up and felt a sense of outdatedness due to the simple values implied to your sartorial choices.
If you have experienced either of the circumstances, then it is time for you to make a few revaluations. First, you should have a look at your current wardrobe and compare it to contemporary fashion, and the next is to mind the company that you sit with. It is natural to seek appreciation from those around us but trying to emulate a new style that cannot be manipulated according to your choices is a straight away offense.
If your feelings of boredom and helplessness about your wardrobe continues to peak, then it is indeed time for you to brush up a little portion of your everyday wear and keep a few dollars aside to make this big move.
The key lesson here is that you don’t necessarily have to spend twenty grand to make your first appearance after the redoing of your sartorial choices. You don’t have to start wearing everything boho and chic to seem like a serious individual with eccentric, or dare we say, philosophical tastes.
We understand your plight and would love to help our readers spice up their outfits. With this in mind, we have come up with a few tips to help you go from drab to fab in a few minutes. So are you ready?
#1 Start running the opposite direction on the color spectrum
Colors play a very critical role in building outfits. They are responsible for setting the overall tone of your outfit. This is why it would help if you tried something more on that front.
If you have been wearing garishly bright colors with glitters and funky pieces dangling out of seams, then running in the opposite direction towards a more neutral and minimalist color palette can probably give you some brownie points.
Switching your color palette can instantly teleport you to the opposite direction in the style quantum,
#2 Spruce up the look with accessories
Accessories are an interesting part of every outfit. They add value to your look while also helping you express yourself with clarity. This is why I believe that your accessories must be kept under careful consideration while you are on your journey to fabulousness. So, we suggest our readers think twice before committing to a new trend.
You can make smarter choices by carrying a sharp leather bag. Any bag with defined lines and cuts can oomph up even the frumpiest looks. You can cut down on the excessive jewelry and limit the number of accessories to a minimal four.
Remember, the lesser number of items you wear, the better your outfits come out. This means that you need to stop wearing a ring on every finger and a bunch of bangles every day; instead, you can opt for statement pieces that speak more through less.
After all, that is how fashion grows and expands; through the ideology of less being more on clothing and accessory contexts.
#3 Learn the art of layering
Layering an outfit can be your best friend and your worst enemy wrapped in one. In order to boost the style quotient of your everyday outfits, you must invest a little thought and effort towards building an outfit in layers. This can be achieved by either looking at style icons or becoming one yourself.
You can start with a base layer in the form of a plain black dress. Then add a pair of your favorite heels, a shapely coat, and a pair of pearl earrings. And voila! You are prepared to rule the world today.
As the season of fall approaches, layering outfits becomes a need. This is the right time to start practice inspired by the images of style icons like Victoria Beckham to understand the ins and outs of contemporary trends.
#4 Spend a little thought and effort on your shoes
Your shoes often leave an impression even before the eyes travel to your face. This makes shoes a critical component of your style which is why you must try to look for the right shoes. Shoe etiquette begins from the comfort and ends in the extravaganza. It implies that you should choose footwear that is appropriate for the event, outfit, and your personal style.
You cannot wear open-toyed shoes for the meeting with the president of your company, nor should you wear flip flops to the fanciest restaurant in town. So take a little time and develop an understanding of the shoes that are deemed appropriate to the event and immediately change your overall look.
Remember, heels are the best choice in most cases but deciphering the code of which type of heels work best for you is a debate for another day!
#5 Befriend your silhouette
Befriending your body type can help you make the most informed choices about your clothes and top the style ratings. This implies dressing according to your body shape in terms of the drape, cut, and colors chosen.
If you are a plus-sized individual who identifies as a woman, then your choices are very different from a petite figure. The goal here is to wear silhouettes that are favorable to the contours of your body and distract attention from problem areas. This neat little trick will help you go a lot farther in style and dress up diaries.
Final thoughts
Becoming a style queen is not as easy as summoning Fairy God Mother like Cinderella. It requires a little trial and error to transform your position from one of dreary, over-sized hyper prints to the summit of sophisticated dresses cut for royalty.
Remember, the best way to transform your look from drab to fab is through exuding confidence and joy through every pore of your being. The more natural and comfortable you feel, the better your outfit looks.
And if all else fails, you can wear a full face of makeup and bring all the attention to your face and hair. There is a reason why the makeup industry is flourishing. You too can sip a little of that glory to look like your fabulous self!
