Color Coordinate
When planning your wardrobe, make sure it features colors that match or at least flow cohesively with one another. Randomly pairing different garments together with no sense of color coordination is a recipe for disaster. You may get lucky and find a winning combination, but nine out of ten times it will clash. The bottom line is that you need to make sure the colors of your outfit match before walking out the door.
Wear a Belt
Some women assume that belts are only useful when wearing jeans or other traditional pants, but this couldn’t be further from the truth. Belts offer a great way to accessorize a dress as well. Whether it’s little black dress (LBD), formal dress, etc., you can wrap a belt around the waist to enhance your appearance.
Press Your Garments
I think we’ve all been guilty of wearing wrinkled clothes at some point or another. While it may seem harmless enough, wrinkled clothes will have a negative impact on your appearance, so it’s best to avoid this fashion faux pas. Using an iron and ironing board, press your garments before wearing them. Or if they are dry-clean only, take them to the dry cleaners.
Dress in Layers
One of the easiest ways to improve your look is to dress in layers. This offers greater versatility in terms of defining your appearance for specific occasions. If you want a new “look,” you can simply take off the outer layer. Assuming the under layer consists of a different color and/or style, you can change your appearance on the fly by wearing multiple layers. And besides, layers are excellent for the cold fall and winter months.
Accessorize
If you aren’t wearing accessories, you are missing out a simple yet effective way to enhance your look. The right accessories will add new style to your outfit while complimenting the existing colors and styles. In addition to belts, some other accessories to consider wearing include earrings, bracelets, necklaces, rings, scarves (great for winter), clutch handbags, fashion sunglasses, etc.
These are just a few quick and easy ways to improve your look. Above all else, though, choose quality clothing that compliments your natural body shape and style. Taking the time to choose fitted, quality clothes will go a long ways in creating a fashionable appearance.
