Incredible Style Secrets
Oscar Wilde used to say that fashion was something so hideous that it had to be changed once every three months. His acerbic wit aside, it's true that fashion, not style, is what's constantly changing. While some people run around chasing the latest trends and attempting to rock a season's popular look that just might not work for them, the real stars of the fashion world know to focus on something much more elusive: style. Because it's timeless style that makes icons, not grasping at trends, and having a solid understanding of what isn't fleeting and what is makes a huge difference between having a look that lasts and needing a new wardrobe every year.
Money doesn't equal style. One of the biggest obstacles for women who aren't receiving swag bags from designers or rolling in money is remembering that being fashionable doesn't mean spending your life savings. No matter what the budget, it's possible to shop stylishly at almost any store in the world. Even more than that, while money can buy a lot of things, it certainly can't buy taste. A well-styled woman in moderately-priced clothing will wow the party far more than an incredibly memorable but poorly dressed aspiring diva.
Size has nothing to do with it. Of course it's easier for a skinny woman to find something at the local boutique, but just because you aren't a size zero, it's no excuse to not find something to dress well in. Don't allow your height or weight to give you permission to bow out of the race for style. Confidence and well-fitting clothes are the secret to success for so many women, and you don't have to have Mick Jagger's figure to get ahead in this world, ladies.
Don't let yourself go. So you're single, or working from home, or staying at home with the kids. Sure, you can sit there all day in yoga pants and eat Cheetos, but eventually, it's going to catch up with you and you're going to start to feel ugly. Even if you're not attending a black tie gala, it doesn't mean you shouldn't put a little thought into what you wear each day. Style and fashion are just as much about how you feel as how you actually look, so make sure that you choose clothes that make you feel great every day, not just on special occasions.
All it takes are a few good buys. You don't have to break the bank on an entirely new wardrobe for spring, fall, winter, and summer. If you spend a little bit on a few basic items, your style will stretch and stretch and stretch. Never underestimate the power of a well-cut black dress, nice pair of black pants, one dress shirt, and a cashmere cardigan. For a woman, these four basics make designing other outfits easy. If you spend a little more on these, then you can throw on a less expensive accessory and still look incredibly well-coiffed. Having great basics also makes it easier to change things up with a single pair of shoes or a great bag.
Shoes are usually the key. If you're feeling just okay in a dress, the shoes you choose can make it or break it. Knowing that, it's important to have shoes that you could wear with a semi-formal and formal outfit alike that will make you feel invigorated and sexy. Shoes more than anything also affect your walk, so choose wisely so you're out there with confidence on big days.
Learn what clothes look good on you, and dress accordingly. There's nothing sadder than a woman who refuses to admit or learn what looks good on her. Accentuate your positive features, and you'll find that you get that much more mileage out of your wardrobe. Choosing garments with necklines in particular that are flattering is a great way to go, as it brings attention to your delicate facial features and also accentuates your femininity.
Whether you're a young night-clubber or a power-suit wearing businesswoman, it's important to have a sense of specialness about yourself.
