Style is such a personal thing, but I believe it should be embraced and expressed. Fashion comes and goes, but personal style is an extension of yourself and your personality. Check out these style tips to emphasize your look and help you feel like the confident goddess you are.
Monday Motivation: 5 Style Tips to Live by
Get Fitted for a Bra
Make sure to work with the in-house consultant at your favorite lingerie store to ensure your bras are correctly fitted to your body. Most people overlook this tiny detail, but it can transform the way your body looks, elongating your waist and making you appear taller.
Throw on a Statement-Making Accessory
This will depend on your style of course, but a bold necklace, dangly earrings, or a patterned clutch will amp up your look in an effortless way.
Step out of Your Comfort Zone
If you feel like you’re in a style rut, or want something new and fresh in your closet, try on some pieces that you would generally stay away from. Are you a slave to the head-to-toe all-black ensemble? Try mixing in some patterns in a muted palette, like camel, gray, and white for a different but still on-brand style look.
Mix and Match Style with Fashion
Fashion fades, but style is forever. That doesn’t mean you can’t have fun with fashion. Invest in pieces that speak to your style and choose less expensive pieces that are trendy for the year (unless what is trendy is part of your style, of course). This way, you have long-lasting, durable pieces for years to come but you can still experiment fashion in a fun and affordable way.
Focus on Fit Versus Size
We all get hung up on the size imprinted on our clothing tags. But try to focus on how the clothing fits you and you’ll be much better off in the style department. Well-fitting clothes make you look more put together like they were handmade for you. If you can, invest in tailoring for some key pieces, and you’ll feel like your favorite fashionista in no time.
