They say that clothes don’t make the man (or woman), but we disagree. Your clothes should be an extension of your personality, but for many, clothing ends up being a social requirement that people don’t put a lot of thought into. This is especially true if you’re not a member of the rich and wealthy that don’t have to think about price tags.
But, if you want to make a statement with your fashion sense, then you’ll need to put some work into it. Even if you don’t have a lot of money, you can still make the clothes you sport work for you, your body shape and turn the heads of everyone around you. But is it really possible with everyday life? Let’s take a look.
Pick colours that suits your skin
The first thing you can do to make your wardrobe work for you is to choose colours that suit your skin tone the most. For example, if you have a rather red complexion, wearing reds or pinks might make your skin look more red than it actually is. If you’re not sure what colours might suit your skin, consider getting a colour analysis so that you can truly find the tones that suit you. It might also be worth keeping your hair colour and eye colour in mind when picking the colour of your outfit to really tie the look together.
Make your own fashion
If there’s one thing you should always keep in mind, it’s that nobody should be able to tell you how to dress and most importantly, how to feel about the clothes you’re wearing. So, if you want to personalise your handbag with patches or key rings then you should go for it! The same goes for other areas of your clothing! Take the time to design a rugby kit shirt to enjoy during rugby seasons or down the pub with your friends.
Dress for your confidence
When it comes to fashion, there’s one rule that you should always live by, and that’s dressing for your confidence. Sure, that pencil skirt might be in every fashion store right now, but if it doesn’t make you feel confident and comfortable, you’re simply not going to pull off the look as you’d planned. While it’s also important to dress for your body shape, it’s more important to feel comfortable because when you’re comfortable you’re naturally more confident too.
So, if there’s a particular part of your body that makes you feel confident and sexy, then dress to accentuate that feature. Don’t be afraid to show off your features! Whether it’s your buttocks, legs, or you love how shapely your upper arms are, remember that everyone is beautiful in their own way and deserves to feel confident in their own skin.
As you can see, having great fashion doesn’t always mean you need to know who’s bringing out the latest and greatest lines next fall. It means dressing in ways that complement and accentuate your natural features.
