Creating Outfits
Whether you love shopping or loathe it, many women have trouble creating outfits. They might find a piece they love, but end up looking frumpy because they don't have anything appropriate to wear with it as an ensemble.
When choosing clothes to create outfits, keep in mind that neutrals can go with any color-- and with one another. Neutrals include black, brown, tan, navy, and white. Red can also function as a neutral as well in many cases, especially in accessories or shoes. Colors and patterns don't necessarily have to 'match' but they should create balance and aesthetic appeal when worn together.
The shapes of the pieces in an outfit should also create balance.
Choose one item to be a focal piece - a brightly colored top, for example, can work beautifully under a neutral suit, and an eye-catching print dress can be beautifully paired with a solid jacket and minimal jewelry.
How to Wear Clothing That's Right for the Occasion
When considering how to wear clothes that make you look and feel great, consider the occasion. A few tips to remember:
- Bare skin is a big no-no for work and most business-oriented events. You can wear stylish tops and even v-necks, but if in doubt, err on the conservative side for the office.
- For occasions like weddings, special dinners, parties, and other events,heed any dress requirements listed on the invitation (black tie formal, casual dress, period costume, etc.). Make an inquiry if there is no designation and you are unsure of how formally to dress for a special event.
- Casual or informal events can often be treated as dress-casual rather than ultra-casual. Sweats and athletic shoes are good for working out, but opt for an ensemble like dress slacks and a blouse, denim paired with a blazer and smart top, or cute mid-length skirt and top combo for informal events that don't require sweating and wearing tennis shoes.
How to Wear Trendy Clothes
Wondering how to wear some of the season's trendy clothes? A good rule of thumb is to pair a trendy piece with something classic. Too many trendy pieces worn together can look overdone. Again, wearing trend clothing is also about balance. For example, skinny jeans worn with a tunic top or a slightly blousy top will look stylish, but pair them with a tummy-baring nineties fashion baby tee, and the look will be less than elegant.
Wear Clothes with Confidence
Your best bet on how to wear clothes is to wear them with confidence! Choose colors and styles that you love, that fit your body, and that express your unique personality. When you wear clothes that you love and feel good in, that confidence shows and makes you look as beautiful on the outside as you are on the inside!
