Glam but first coffee
A time ago, I wrote about secrets in general for women to always look good. However, this time I will only focus on STYLE secrets of women who always look but together. What are the tips and hidden secrets of those bomb rocking ladies that always look great, tailored, and out together?
I wrote a few tips that I try to follow and some that I found online.
Ladies, remember that it is okay, sometimes to wear joggers, forget about makeup and do a messy bun. However, we also look with admiration to women who look amazing every single day, and we know that to succeed, looking clean and put together is very important. Therefore, 13 ways to always look stylish and put together!
Have a must-have fashion essentials
I write and talk a lot about fashion essentials on my profiles. Knowing must-have fashion essentials is a true secret to having a base for your stylish outfits. Fashion must-haves are crucial for you to have the base (denim jeans, basic tops) to easily create clean-looking outfits. Read about the four fashion essentials for a healthy wardrobe.
Dress accordingly to your size
Women always want to fit into smaller sizes and can get triggered by the size label. However, do not be! For one brand you can be size XS, while for the other, it would be XL (it happens to me). Do not let yourself be named after letter combinations, and that affects you. Most importantly is for you to have well-fitted clothing that is not too baggy nor too tight. Your size does not matter, if clothing will look too big on you or too small, you will look not put together and unflattering.
I had the period when I tried to hide my body and bought very unflattering sweaters and cardigans. However, they only made my body look rounder and baggier.
Have a save outfits that look great
Prepare a few outfits that are “save outfits” or go-to outfits that you know look great on you! Be sure you have one outfit for work, one for a date night, one for running errands, and so on. Then change them up a bit accordingly to the season.
Wear colours that suit you
Wear colours that make you happy, but also that suit you! Sometimes you can be into bright pink, but if you only change the pink to a little lighter tone, it looks so much better for your skin tone.
How to determine your skin tone?
Take a piece of white paper and hold it up to your face. If your skin looks light brown or even a little bit green in contrast to the paper, then you have a warm skin tone. If it looks slightly gray, then you have a neutral skin tone.
To find out if you have a cool skin colour, look at the palms of your hands. Below your palm, at your wrist where you would take your pulse, take note of the colour of the veins. If they look purple, then you have a cool skin tone.
If you have a fair skin tone, wear bright blue, emerald, deep purple, lavender, ruby, bright rose. From neutral tones, white, gray, and navy. However, warm skin tone people should wear yellow, gold, warm green, and olive. From neutral tones- taupe, creamy white, chocolate.
Neutral skin tone beauties should wear light peach, dusty pink, jade, and camo green. However, from neutral colors: creamy white, taupe, and gray.
Invest in good shoes
I am obsessed with shoes and good-quality shoes. It is crucial to invest in good shoes not only for looks but also for the health and comfort of your feet. A few must-have shoes in your wardrobe are a neutral pair of heels, everyday sneakers, black booties for fall and spring, knee-high boots, and sandals.
Must fit you like a glove
One of the most important style secrets of women who always look put together is your clothes to fit you well. While shopping and trying on clothes, be sure it fits you like a glove. If you will come home and realize, your shoulders are too big, the fabric cuts in your skin, or whatever it is, you are not going to wear the clothing. The same goes for old clothing that is washed out and does not fit as well! Remember that looking good is not about the price, but how good items fit on your body.
Have a match for every item!
Be a smart shopper! It is so easy to shop for trendy and cute pieces that pop up on websites without thinking. However, always think about how you are going to style the item. Look for inspiration on Google or Pinterest. If you do not have anything to style it with, either buy the whole outfit or search for something else.
For example, I ordered a bustier and knew it would be too revealing to wear only a bustier. Therefore, I ordered a cropped cardigan to wear over it. Guess what, I was right! The cardigan makes the bustier look more classy and not so flashy!
Have a few go-to simple hairdos
I have always thought that a good hair day makes the whole outfit better. Not only that, the right hairdo can change the entire vibe of the look, and tie it together! Therefore, find a few simple hairstyle ideas that are quick to do and suit you. For some ideas, watch my YouTube video for simple hairstyle ideas.
Shop for non-iron clothes
Do we even iron clothes in this century? I do not remember the last time I ironed clothing. However, make sure that the clothing you buy does not need ironing or at least not a lot! I remember the one time I bought a beautiful yellow top but every time after washing, it just needed so much ironing, and could not even travel with it. As a result, I have only worn the top twice.
Pay attention to nails
Nails like hair are a very important accessory for the whole look. Therefore, make sure your nails are always filed and clean. You do not need to do an expensive manicure, use cuticle oils and apply pastel pink or transparent nail polish.
Quick and neutral makeup routine
Improve your makeup routine for every day. Play around and learn a quick and neutral makeup routine that looks great on you!
Take care of things
No matter how expensive or cheap is the item, it will last longer and look better if you take good care of it! Clean your shoes and store clothing and shoes correctly. Iron clothes, if necessary, and wash them accordingly. Always cut loose threads before heading out.
Good looking outwear for fall and winter
For me, the most difficult part is to look good during cold seasons. However, one good way is to learn to layer different items to not look like a penguin in a massive puffer coat. The other secret is to have a few good-looking outwear and outwear essentials.
For me, outwear essentials are a leather jacket, fall trench, blazer, and puffy jacket! I would advise you to invest in outwear just like in shoes because you want to make sure they last long and protect you from cold and wind.
