Glam but first coffeeWhich are the 5 style tips to feel yourself? In my life and early age, I have done so horrible things when it comes to fashion. I had no style or fashion sense whatsoever. I have always been a little curvy and I used to think I need to hide underneath the clothing and then I had another phase. When I wore too revealing and low waist jeans which did not flatter me at all. That was the year 2000 and it was all about
When I started to learn about fashion and style up different clothing items, I learned that there are just a few style tips to always feel good and look stylish in the eyes of others. All of these style tips are very general steps to follow and can apply to anyone. No matter your race, color, style, or body type. I will not be here acting like I am the best following them. Some of them I feel very difficult to follow up and at some, I fail. However, fashion is not the most important in life but these hacks can help you even in your professional life when you want to leave a good impression.
“Style tips that apply to anyone, no matter your race or body type”
These 5 style tips to feel yourself are the ones I have learned from my errors I have done and experienced. Things I see people doing, and especially young girls now on social media! At the end of the day, be true to yourself, have respect, and learn some fashion tips!
Hide your flaws and bring out the best of you
You are always beautiful as you are but the right outfit can make your flaws or insecurities look perfect! Firstly, everyone has something they do not like about their body, everyone. Even Victoria’s Secret models you are watching, even they are not confident about something on their body. Therefore, accept it and love it as you are and turn them into something beautiful by choosing the right clothing!
You are beautiful and with the outfit, you can show the best of you! Everyone has the parts they feel bad of and the parts they are proud of- EVERYONE.
Dress accordingly
Dress accordingly the occasion and weather conditions. This is the hardest one for me and always has been. Especially for the weather which you can just have a jacket with you and you are ready for colder weather. Weather is not as important, but it will just make you feel more comfortable and appropriate for the weather.
To the occasion
When it comes to dressing accordingly to the occasion. This is a whole headache again. If you are struggling, I would suggest asking someone what they think or search on Pinterest. I have had people asking me what to choose for the wedding, as an example. Therefore, I wrote a blog post about How to choose the right wedding guest dress. That article you can read HERE if interested. Back to 5 style tips to feel yourself. Dressing accordingly can be tricky and you need to know what is appropriate to wear to the office, school, club, or a date. At the same time, some companies are more modern when it comes to working dress-code and some are very old fashioned.
There are always some basic rules and then the ones which only you are going to know.
Choose the right size
Now we are to the hot topic of choosing the right size. Not the right size in a way that “I am the size M, so I will struggle myself into a size M”. I have been there, trust me, guilty here. However, what I mean is, if you try on the XL size and it is a perfect size, choose the XL size. I know that these numbers are very triggering and being Extra large does not help for your self-esteem. Remember though, that these are only numbers/ letters, in one country you can be size S and in another one size XL! In China, I would be probably XXXL!
However, remember that it is more important how you look and feel in this clothing item than the number or letter.
Be classy
Another time I need to explain to you, what I mean by being classy. Be classy not in the sense of classy style of clothing, but more like a classy and lady mindset! I am not talking about the white blouse and black skirt. By classy I mean to when you shop for clothing and think about what to wear, remember that women also should keep a secret. We do not need to show off everything we have to everyone and anyone who does not even deserve it. I would wish more than anything in the world for women more respect themselves and their bodies.
“Women should keep a secret”
Be princess Diana
Your body is your temple from the inside out and you need to treat it like one! Now when there are more Kardashians than Princess Diana, you should stand out by being the princess. Do not get me wrong, I do like to wear something shorter or show a little bit of cleavage when I go for a date with my boyfriend. There is always a limit, occasion, and class even in that type of clothing!
People who know me know what kind of clothing I have worn in my crazy years. I am not proud of it at all! At the same time, those were clubs and I never blamed others if I got creepy looks at me or commenting on it because of how I was dressed. I have always said that clothing is the first impression. It tells the story about us and can tell even your darkest secrets and insecurities.
Therefore I am here helping you make the right choices and especially hope that children and teenagers will do that. 13 years old child should not dance in a bikini on Tik Tok videos! Do not always blame men for what women do and how they show themselves off! Be classy, respect yourself, and walk with your head up because you are worth it!
Explore and take your time
I have never done this because I always buy something in the end. I would suggest you to not take any money with you for this. Otherwise, you will fall for some discounted product you never needed! This step is going to help you find your brands, your stores. Give you an insight into what kind of style you like, what patterns or design suits your body type the best! Spend one day to hop the stores and shops without spending a coin! Go to any stores that are in your price range and your style (but try some out of your comfort zone). Style up different outfits, even the ones you would think you would never like. Play with all kinds of materials and patterns and take photos of them!
Later on, come home and scroll on the photos and see what you like and whatnot. Another great way is to go with a friend or person you trust! I said I have never done this because I always spend money. However, I have worn and tried some clothing items that are out of my comfort zone. Clothes that I would usually not choose and discover new things that look great on me!
New discoveries
I have never said this before but some 10 years ago I discovered how great crop tops look on me. Crop tops were such a taboo for me because I thought I am curvy. That any skin showing will not look good but how wrong was I! Crop tops look great even on chubbier women because they bring out the smallest and tiniest part of your body- waist. Therefore crop tops make the person look thinner and more hourglass than it is! So if you are lost in your fashion game, have no idea what style you like and suits you. Maybe you think your style is boring, spend some day in stores around you and have fun!
Most importantly, remember to step out of your comfort zone and not be afraid to try something new! I would suggest doing this every season to find the best deals and clothing without buying something you do not need.
“Step out of your comfort zone”
In conclusion
These were 5 style tips to feel yourself and to find yourself in the fashion game! On the end note and as an extra tip, I would want to remind you that quality makes the change! The quality material will always look better on you than a more affordable one. Some fashion items are especially worth the money and I have even written the blog article before about the items that you should spend more money on! Read the article HERE if you want to find out more! Then spend less money on more trendy fashion clothing.
“Quality is the key”
Be sure you always have basics and essentials that can be paired with tons of other items and that suits your body type. Remember that it is better to spend more money on good quality clothing than collect clothing and have a bunch of bad quality items!
At the end of the day, be yourself and wear what makes you feel comfortable. What are your 5 style tips to feel yourself?
