6 Fashion Rules To Live By
Here are the six fashion rules we follow to ensure our wardrobe consists of clothes we will actually wear, along with tips on how to make each outfit look polished and well put together.
1. If you’re only going to wear it once, don’t buy it, regardless of the occasion. Instead of being pressured to have something new every time, re-wear the pieces you already own! A well-chosen outfit can be styled in different ways to feel new and unique each time you wear it.
2. The brand is irrelevant, the colour and silhouette is more important. Style is about how you wear something, not where it comes from.
3. You don’t always need to jump on the latest trends, especially if they don’t align with your personal style. Just because something is popular doesn’t mean it’s right for you. If a trend doesn’t resonate with your personal style or make you feel comfortable, there’s no need to force it. True style comes from understanding what suits you and reflects who you are. Fashion trends come and go, but personal style is timeless.
4. If you have to ask your family/friend’s for their opinion before buying something you’re likely just trying to convince yourself. Trust yourself - you know your style and what works for you.
5. Tailoring your clothes to fit your body perfectly is key to looking polished and put together. Off-the-rack pieces may not always fit just right, but with a little tailoring, you can elevate even the simplest outfit. Well-fitted clothes not only enhance your shape but also give you a more refined, confident look.
6. If you’re wearing solid-coloured bottoms and a solid-coloured top, add a patterned piece to give your outfit some visual interest. A great way to do this is by incorporating a patterned accessory, like a neck scarf, to break up the simplicity and elevate the look.
P.S. Confidence is everything. No matter what you’re wearing, your confidence is what truly makes a statement. Style isn’t just about clothes; it’s about how you carry yourself. So, whatever you choose to wear, own it and let your confidence do the talking!
