How to dress to impress
Deciding what to wear every day can be more difficult than you might expect. This is especially true after we’ve spent so many months at home in loungewear during the pandemic! While some people are naturally blessed with a fantastic fashion sense, for the rest of us it takes a bit more effort to learn exactly what suits our shape and find a style that we love. If you fall into the latter camp, here are some top tips to help you out.
Opt for quality over quantity
These days fast fashion is a huge industry, with many shops choosing to sell items of clothing at very low prices to attract more customers. While this might seem like it’s good for your wallet, there are many reasons to avoid these cheap clothes. Firstly, the industry does a lot of damage to the environment. Secondly, the clothing is usually of lower quality and therefore doesn’t last as long. Thirdly, cheaper clothes generally don’t fit as well, and as such don’t look as good on.
Choose clothes designed for your figure
People come in all different shapes and sizes, so it’s unrealistic to expect the same clothes to look equally good on all of us. By selecting clothing that is specifically designed for your figure, you stand a better chance of finding something that truly suits you. Whether it is petite dresses, trousers crafted especially for taller people, or flattering plus size lingerie from Wild Crush, you’re sure to notice the difference.
Consider colour carefully
The colours that we wear can say a lot about us, or inspire certain feelings in others – so why not use this to your advantage? For example, bright colours are more likely to attract attention, whereas dark colours such as navy come across as more professional. Similarly, yellow can be cheerful and uplifting, while green is more calming, and purple can have a mystical or regal air. Think about who you want to be on a particular day and choose your colour palette accordingly.
Match your outfit to the occasion
A big part of getting fashion right is picking clothes that suit the occasion as well as your body. For instance, you don’t want to wear white to a wedding, jeans to a black tie party, or a very low-cut dress to the office. Take some time to consider what is most appropriate for where you’re going and what you’re doing, and always check the dress code carefully if there is one. This will help you to avoid that awkward feeling of being over or underdressed!
Try a different style from time to time
It’s very easy to get stuck in a style rut, especially as we get older. That’s why it can be a fun idea to try something completely different every now and again, just to see if it suits you. This includes shoes as well as clothes, for instance switching to boots or high heels if you normally wear trainers. If you find a new type of clothing or a bold new colour that you love, it’s almost guaranteed to spark compliments from people who know you well!
