Dressing up to look stylish every single day isn’t a priority to most people. We often don’t have the time to put in effort in our daily outfits, or just don’t have the budget to afford the latest trends in fashion. However, looking stylish and put together can improve our confidence and overall appearance, so paying some attention to our everyday looks is definitely worth it.
This doesn’t mean we have to look like runway models and wear only designer clothing. In fact, it’s more about combining the clothes we already own and knowing how to turn a boring outfit into a fashionable look.
So, if you’re the type that doesn’t like to spend hours on getting ready, yet strive to look your best, keep on reading!
Here are some tips to help you always look stylish and make your outfit Instagram ready.
Have the Basics
This is so, so important. Having neutral, basic pieces of clothing will give you a foundation to build your look on. Make sure you invest in a couple of high quality jeans, basic white tees, black trousers, a denim jacket, a simple trench coat, etc.
Get these clothes in neutral colors like black, white, beige, and grey, so you can wear them with many different pieces. Also, neutral clothes look classy, so you can always go for an all – black, or all – white outfit.
Add Layers
Once you have the basic essentials, it’s time to build up your look with layers. Adding layers will make even the most basic of clothes look stylish. Use blazers, biker jackets, capes, kimonos and denim jackets to make your outfit look more interesting.
This trick is so simple, yet you’ll look like you’ve put in some effort in your outfit!
A Pop of Color
Another thing you should have in your wardrobe is colorful clothing. Whether it’s a plain pink shirt, or a floral skirt, adding a pop of color against your neutrals can make such a huge difference!
If you’re not sure how to mix and match patterns and colors, the safest way is to wear one colorful piece with your neutral clothing. Pair a colorful shirt with a jean jacket, or add a bright red handbag to your all – black outfit. Either way, don’t be afraid to experiment with colorful pieces and find your unique style. Colors are a great way to add some edginess to your look and express your personality!
Accessorize
Accessories can transform your basic outfit in so many different ways! For example, adding a bold necklace to your white tee can instantly make you look stylish. A black fedora hat will make your whole outfit look fashionable. Sunglasses in unusual shapes are another piece that’s worth wearing to achieve a trendy look.
There are so many different fashion accessories to choose from; you can wear minimalist jewelry, a nice leather belt, a blanket scarf, big colorful statement earrings…The list goes on and on!
Invest in a Designer Piece
Wearing a pair of high heels will instantly make you look stylish and put together. Same thing goes for bags – a luxury handbag will make your outfit look chic and more expensive.
Investing in a designer piece can be so worth it. You can look into classic handbags such as YSL, Louis Vuitton, Gucci, etc. – these brands create timeless pieces that emphasize any outfit. Yes, designer bags are very expensive, but they’re also high quality, so investing in one means you’ll use it for years before it wears off.
Wear Well-Fitting Clothes
Last but not least, make sure you wear clothes that are a good fit. Don’t buy a piece of clothing just because it’s trendy – make sure it’s not too tight or too loose. Choose clothes that flatter your shape and bring attention to your best areas. If you already own ill-fitting clothes, you can always make alterations and hem your pair of pants or finally tighten that baggy dress so it fits perfectly!
