It’s always hard to define what style is as it differs from person to person. Many women think we need to break the bank to look stylish and elegant. It’s absolutely untrue! You merely need to shop and wear SMART.
Wondering how? By copying other fashionistas? By simply being yourself? Or by wearing a genuine smile? Well, none of these!
Scroll down and learn the tips to get an instantly stylish and elegant look, that too on a budget.
Tip #1. Style your hair:
The first thing you need to do is wear your hair up. Well, this doesn’t mean that you have to sport the complicated hairstyle or go to your stylist every time. Little trial and error can make you look stylish and refined.
Did you ever looked at celebs’ hair and kept on gazing? Every time, right? Wearing your hair up might not make you very pretty but will showcase the amount of time you’ve invested in your appearance. Yes, there are some ground rules for it. And that is, keep it simple; if it requires few pins, then great; otherwise, choose subtle accessories.
Tip #2. Dismiss trends:
Yes, you read it right! The truth is, some fashion trends are not even stylish, but women look in some magazines and at celebs and purchase the same. This will only make you dig into your pockets more and more.
Forgetting all the magazines and celebs out there, you can develop your trend or style and stick to it. If you get lucky, people even might follow your style, and you may never know you can become a fashion influencer too.
Tip #3. Go colourful:
No matter which clothes and from where you purchase, fill your wardrobe with every colour. Also, think as if there are no rules! Black jeans will look great with light shades only, or dark shades tops will gel-up well with light-coloured jeans.
Blend neon, pastels, neutrals, and many more colours into one outfit to make your style. On top of that, it will make you stand out from the crowd.
Tip #4. Experiment with monochrome:
The first thing you should bear in mind is monochrome dressing is a safe experiment in fashion. It doesn’t matter which shade you pick; mixing hues of one particular colour will work together nicely.
As it will narrow down your choices, it will allow you to get dressed faster. On top of that, you can match from head-to-toe without investing much time in a particular outfit. It will make you look stylish, elegant, and slimmer too.
Tip #5. Use the French tuck style:
Tucking tops, sweaters, and shirts are a usual style now. But do you know, there are several ways to do so? Out of all, the French tuck style stands out. It is a simple yet efficient way to look stylish and slimmer, in comparison, to leaving your shirt undone.
No matter, it is a tank top, silk shirt, or a sweater, seize the middle portion of the cloth and tuck it down loosely. In lesser time, budget, and efforts, watch how your style increases instantly.
Tip #6. Put the required makeup:
It is true – there is no specific measurement of makeup – what is subtle or dramatic, colourful or nude-toned. Also, to be stylish, you do not have to over-do your makeup. Simple makeup will make you look classy.
You can keep a lighter shade for a highlighter and give a red hue to your lip. Even nude colour will go well, making you look chic. Wear colourful and bright nail colour in a fun party; otherwise, go with a nude colour.
Tip #7. Use the “less is more” approach for accessories:
Too many accessories on your body can make you look flashy. Therefore, be smart with your accessories for a stylish look. For fancier occasions, choose a statement neckpiece with a minimal outfit and little detailing.
Furthermore, stick with delicate jewellery like silver and rose gold as they won’t look too bright on you. Don’t forget to wear a pretty watch (not costly) to level up with your outfit.
Tip # 8: Put on jackets over your shoulders:
Many fashionistas refuse to put their arms in the jackets; instead, they feel more comfortable with wearing jackets over their shoulders. Why? Because it elevates their chic status ten times.
So, you can consider the jacket as your cape that has sleeves and wear it over your shoulders. It might not provide you the heat you want, especially in winter, but render the coverage you want. You can receive these jacket-sling effects from any clothes – jackets, coats, and blazers.
Tip #9. Carry a structured bag:
Often, women prefer to look stylish not only with their outfits but also with their bags. The best type of purse you can carry is a structured one. The good thing about this bag is, you will get its original shape back regardless of how much stuff you fill in it.
Even popular brands are promoting structured bags with short straps in materials like faux leather and suede.
Tip #10. Embrace the sunglasses:
It looks awkward when your outfit is up-to-the-mark, but sunlight has caught your eyes and affecting your vision. To avoid that, you should wear sunglasses during the day.
Now, there are no specific commands for wearing sunglasses. Whatever suits your face and outfit, wear that. Though branded sunglasses will look fabulous, you should go with your budget. In the end, you should look poised and stylish.
Tip #11. Choose your footwear wisely:
Do you know your footwear can change your whole appearance? Have you ever noticed celebs wearing footwear that makes their outfit look stylish and classy? No doubt, it involved some trial and error, but your selection should be wise.
Most people copy the celebs and try to wear pointed heels, which makes them feel uncomfortable. That is the biggest blunder you are making. Just remember one thing: Comfort is the best and trending style you can ever wear.
Tip #12. Spread fragrance wherever you go:
One of the obvious (or say basics) for looking stylish and elegant is to wear your signature perfume. Consider a mild and refreshing scent that does not force people to go away from you. All in all, it does not need to be expensive; it should have a great fragrance.
To make the first and lasting impression, you should smell delightful. So, imagine, you are wearing a beautiful outfit, classy sunglasses, mind-blowing makeup – and scent complementing all of them.
Tip #13. Stay creative all the time:
Being stylish does not mean you need to adhere to only one style. That would become repetitive, and people may start considering you boring. You can get creative with the clothes which you currently have in your wardrobe.
For instance, swap a pair of sneakers with heels to give your outfit a new look. Try to use a range of accessories and switch each one of them on your every wear.
