Fashion Tips for Working Women
Here are our top tips to keep in mind when trying different looks to avoid making fashion mistakes.
1. Organize your wardrobe
This is so important because if you don’t know what’s in your wardrobe, how can you know what to wear? Maybe you’ve been wearing the same thing for a long time because it’s familiar and you don’t organize your clothes well enough to know what works and what doesn’t. Try out every piece in your wardrobe and put aside the ones you absolutely need and the ones that go with the look you’re going for.
Pro tip: It’s best to let go of the ones you know you’ll probably never wear.
2. Adopt a “one in, one out” approach
We all want to follow the latest trends, and buying those trends often results in a major wardrobe overhaul. To avoid this, every time you add new clothes to your wardrobe, it’s best to let go of some of the clothes you’ve been keeping. If you maintain this discipline, you can stop overaccumulating and only own what you need. For example, when you buy a new top, it’s time to put away an old piece of clothing that you originally bought just for sentimental value.
3. Buy clothes that flatter your body type
Know your body type It is important to know which silhouettes will suit your body and avoid confusion. The trick is to maintain balance when designing clothes. For example, if you are heavier in the lower half, you can balance it out by adding volume to the upper half. Have fun experimenting with different fabrics, colors, and cuts, while staying confident that you will look great.
4. Experiment with colors
Despite being slimming and easy to style, dark colors like black or navy are no longer popular these days. However, wearing these colors all the time can make your look monotonous. Don’t hesitate to try some brighter colors. If you don’t want to wear bright tops or pants, you can start by adding some bright colors to your outfit, such as a red handbag or belt.
5. Buy the essentials
Make sure to invest in quality wardrobe staples that you will continue to use no matter what style is “in.” You may already know the little black dress or the classic white shirt but be sure to add jackets and coats that elevate the look of your outfit. Invest in a good quality blazer that will work especially well for your office attire or formal wear, and a trendy open jacket for party wear. These are perfect to throw on if you are running late and will make you look formal without much effort.
6. Accessorize your look
No matter how good your outfit is, it won’t be complete without accessories. Whether it’s an edgy belt or a statement necklace, these accessories can quickly change your look. At the same time, don’t go overboard with the accessories. If you’re already wearing huge drop earrings, then make sure to wear less necklaces, or no necklaces at all. Wearing the right shoes, bags, sunglasses, and jewelry can easily take your look from good to extreme.
7. Don’t buy clothes when you’re not sure
Sometimes shopping is as simple as seeing something on display in a store and knowing you want it. However, this may not always be the case. Other times, you may not like a piece of clothing until you try it on and see how it looks on you. If you’re unsure about a piece of clothing and find yourself weighing the pros and cons, it’s best not to buy it.
When you wear clothes that make you feel good, you’ll be more confident and ready to take on any challenge. Style is more than just pretty clothes and designer trends. It’s knowing what suits you and how to adapt to it.
