When you open your wardrobe every day and found the same outfits, your mind probably would say it’s tough to choose what to wear and why to wear. Sometime you feel low that it could not highlights your style sense. Your mind would probably say needs to buy few more stuff. But I do believe by making a few simple adjustments to the way you wear your outfits and shop for certain items, you can significantly improve your personal style.
Here are 5 tips that you can use right now in your wardrobe and see the difference.
Most of the time we feel to go with perfect fittings, even sometimes we go for alteration after purchase. Ideally, it’s best to avoid alterations. It’s an extra cost to consider with your purchase and it’s time and effort on your part. I like to avoid alterations where possible and find a better fit in another store or brand.
However, sometimes a simple alteration is all that’s needed to take an amazingly great item and turn it into a perfect item that feels like it was custom made for you. Still, I would only recommend an alteration for a change, if the item is absolutely perfect everywhere else, and you have a clear purpose for your wardrobe and you want to use for years to come.
Some ideas are sharing with you if you are stuck with some garments which is laying in your wardrobe since long and you are unhappy as you are not able to use it because of fitting issues or may you think it’s out of fashion. These are common alterations and are usually quick and affordable
There are many ways to adjust your clothing so that it works with your proportions, without a trip to the tailor. Here are some examples.
To get trendy looks over your jackets, you can roll the sleeves to your elbow, it will look like a relaxed gathered. Sometimes sleeves don’t stay when rolled up, simply cuff the sleeves at the wrist, twice or thrice, generally we do it for using the shirts but for jackets it shorten the length temporarily and trendy. A bonus hare is you can return sleeve to its original length when you want to wear long length sleeve.
If you are wearing sandals, espadrilles or sneakers in a casual situation and you’re wearing jeans, then cuff them twice, about 1cm per cuff. This shortens the hemline and looks great. You can also do this when wearing ankle boots. Cuffing this way will make your jeans meet at the top of your ankle boot, without the messy tucking situation.
French tucks are a popular one and look effortlessly styled. It only takes a couple of seconds, and it can have quite an effect on your overall look! It’s going to balance your proportions, and help you look taller and thinner. This also can make an outfit feel a little more sophisticated and smart, even when applied to a casual outfit. Tuck your top into your mid to high rise bottoms. Or, tuck your top lightly at the front and let the sides and back relax out if you’re wearing pants. If you’re tucking into a skirt, tuck your top in and blouse it over lightly, about a thumb space of excess fabric. If you don’t like tucking tops, simply tie your top into a neat knot at the front. This works particularly well with button shirts, undo the last couple of buttons so you can tie the top instead of buttoning.
Wear a colour that reflects you and your
When you were feeling flat choose those colours which gives brightness to your eyes and lift your complexion, minimise any dark circles and pigmentation. Actually we all have colours that we can slip on and feel instantly refreshed, focused and look like we had more sleep than we actually had. So consider those colour to wear on a gloomy day to make your day flourished.
Also consider your plan while to choose a colour to wear that represents those plans. For example, if you’re heading for a day out that involves a bike ride and breakfast at the local café, the colours and clothing you choose to wear will be very different to when you’re heading into a day of meetings with internal colleagues and external stakeholders on a busy working day in the office.
Swap cardigans with relaxed jackets
Cardigans are fine to wear when you’re heading to do groceries or down to the park. Cardigans with shape around the neckline, waistline or in the arms are best, and look for some with interest in the colour of the texture. It is true it can wear quickly, but when it comes to stylising it is better to swap with lightweight jackets or denim jackets. You can think about an alternative of cardigan is wearing a relaxed fitting, lightweight jacket. They still provide you with an additional layer that’s easy to move in, some coverage to keep you warm and are lightweight so don’t feel too heavy in place of a cardigan. In a casual mode, a denim jacket is a great alternative to a cardigan and can easily be worn with dresses, skirts or jeans and t-shirts if you choose the right one for your proportions and lifestyle. There are also plenty of denim jackets that have stretch in the fabric so are no longer rigid and restrictive.
Own less shoes, choose neutral colours
Your lifestyle is an important one to consider when choosing shoes. If you are going to daily office work then heels might not be necessary but a comfortable pair of boot will be good choice because you can easily work if it’s raining. If you are working in a corporate a pair of white sneaker will definitely never suitable but if you work in an office with a smart casual dress code, then white sneakers could form part of your work wardrobe quite easily. So keep some sensible collections which you can use for any kind of purpose. Remember a good quality, comfortable shoes are expensive and you want to get your money’s worth here. Having a collection of neutral coloured shoes means you will be able to own fewer pairs, but have the ability to mix and match them with various outfits.A pair of flats and heels in tan or beige are must have at your wardrobe as it all helpful colours that work with plenty of prints, textures and colours across many wardrobes. Besides that a pair of white sneakers, black boots to flourish your wardrobe for necessity purpose.
Wear one accessory that significantly impacts your outfit
Just like shoes, keep a few accessories that look really workable pieces which can go with most of the outfits. So you don’t need a lot of accessories as per your wardrobe collections. Best choice of diamond or pearl top earnings or equivalent are best to go with all type of dress codes. Also you can use gold or silver earrings with gold chain with a small pendent is really carried up your personality. A pair of fun earrings, a minimalistic necklace and a watch are all versatile items that will enhance the colours, textures and prints within your outfit. But it is obvious that the exact accessories should be based on what items you own, and also it should go with your face shape and individual skin tone.
Moreover I would suggest if you feel boring on wearing same pattern, types or coloured dress for sometimes, so keep those outfits aside in your wardrobe for a while, and re- use it again after couple of month or even more with new vibes, mood and probably with some new mix and match ideas of accessories.
