Every day, you put on an outfit that tells the world a little bit about who you are. Fashion gives us a way to express ourselves, but turning bold looks is a tricky thing to master. It should be easy to build an outfit that reflects who you are, but it's not always so simple. Even when we have a clear vision for how we should look, the outfit we wear might not match that vision once we put it on.
Once you understand a few essential, basic rules of style, you'll know how to elevate your outfit. With these three simple adjustments, you'll be rocking even the most casual of ensembles.
That means it may be time to add some accessories. Wearing the right accessories can truly elevate an outfit. A belt adds structure to an outfit, a watch indicates a passion for detail and a hat can draw people's attention to your eyes.
Well-crafted accessories, like a good phone case, or polished shoes, can help elevate a look by giving you a sense of detail and just an extra pop of color or texture to your outfit.
Paying attention to your accessories is even more critical if you are an avid social media poster or if you attend many public events. With platforms like Snapchat and Instagram, your outfit is always on display. If you're interested in looking good, a premium iPhone case is a subtle way to add a pop of flair to your pictures and stand out on the feed. You can coordinate a phone case to your outfit, or expertly clash it if you want to look like you've considered every detail.
This is why you should always take into account your ratios and the dimensions of the clothing you wear. As you play with shapes of the apparel you wear, you'll see how different clothing combinations can best suit you.
If you have issues with finding fitted clothes, buy something larger and have it altered by a tailor.
Lastly, if you think you picked the right outfit for an occasion but it doesn't look exactly how you imagined, think about the fabrics you're putting on your body. Every material has its own weight and will lie differently on your body.
If you're not satisfied with the way that your clothes are looking at your body, then you should consider what they're made of. Find a piece of clothing that you love to wear and take a look at the tag for the info. When you know what you like and what looks good, don't be afraid to use that to your advantage.
Conclusion
All in all, looking as good as you feel just means paying a little more attention to the details. Enjoy what you wear, and you're sure to shine. But getting to this point means you'll have to take a good look at your wardrobe and examine what's working and what doesn't.
Indulge in accessories you love, shop for fabrics, and remember to shape each garment to your body!
