Many women in the UK say that they struggle with their appearance and finding their way when it comes to fashion. It is time to ditch the fashion rules and focus on clothing that makes you feel incredible.
Here is a guide to help you create a wardrobe that makes you feel your best all the time.
Understand your body shape and style personality
Before you break your bank balance and get new clothes, take some time to understand your body shape and style. As you get older, your body will naturally change and the styles that you used to love may feel outdated or too young.
You could start by trying on different styles in the shops and seeing what looks best. Why not make a day of it and ask your best girlfriends to tag along and give you some support? Remember that the correct undergarments will help massively. If you want to show off your waist, waspies are a great investment.
Embrace colour and pattern
No matter what size or shape you are, your days hiding away in black outfits are gone – unless you really love black! Refreshing your wardrobe gives you the opportunity to embrace colours and patterns.
You could start small and add splashes of colour in your accessories, shoes, or bags. Once you are feeling braver, pick up a patterned blouse or pair of shorts. Patterns and colours are great ways to showcase your dazzling personality.
Curate a quality capsule wardrobe
Sometimes budgets can be tight, so spending a lot of money on a whole new wardrobe can be impossible. Capsule wardrobes which are made of quality pieces, aim to combat this as well as make it easy to pick an outfit each day.
Start with basics such as a classic white shirt, tailored trousers, and a little black dress. Build on these and keep them in mind when you add more to your closet. Try to buy pieces that can mix and match with them, allowing you to have more options for daily wear.
Accessorise to elevate your look
Accessories are the final step to creating the perfect outfit. They can be used to elevate your look without adding too much colour or distraction. Jewellery, scarves, bags and shoes are all ways to accessorise.
If you want to keep your outfits classic and toned down, accessories are where you can add flair and colour. A statement bag can give your outfit a focal point, as can a chunky necklace. A classic diamond ring can be stunning alongside the right outfit too, adding sparkle and a touch of elegance.
Fashion is all about fun, so make sure you don’t get too bogged down in looking ‘right’. As long as you feel confident and happy in your outfit, you will look perfect.
