Staying in fashion isn’t always about buying the hottest designs straight off the runway. Some of us – like the staff here at Second Time Around – have a natural sense for fashion. For the rest, we have compiled a few tips about how to improve your fashion sense.
People do judge you by your appearance
We’d like to think that people will judge us by our personality or natural looks. Yet it’s human nature to ‘judge a book by it’s cover’, and the first impression someone has of us is based on how we are dressed. Make it count, and dress appropriately!
Look for people whose dress impresses you
Each of us has our own unique fashion style. Think of someone you’ve met recently whose outfit simply ‘wowed’ you. How did it fit on their body? How did the colors interact? Was the outfit simple, or was it adorned with stand-out accessories? Did it emphasize any particular body part?
If you get into a habit of noticing what works in other people’s fashion, you’ll start to get a sense of what works for you.
Scan through your wardrobe
Make a list of your favorite pieces. This will help you center in on your ideal fashion.
Stretch your limits
If you come across a fashion design you think looks beautiful, but fear it wouldn’t work for you, knock out your doubts. Give it a shot – it may be just the perfect piece. Same thing with colors – if there is a color you are afraid to try out, give it a shot and ask for feedback. You may be surprised what others say.
Bring some contrast to your outfit
If you’ve already got a good outfit, consider adding a stand-out piece like a scarf or belt.
Bring along an emergency kit
Keep a packet of fix-it pins for accidental rips, stain remover for spilled wine, and double-sided fashion tape for any loose pieces.
Build up your natural charisma
A stunning outfit does wonders to make you attractive, and people will notice your “inner fashion” as well. Don’t neglect to build that up!
