How to Change your Fashion Game while Boosting your Confidence

Nobody is perfect, so don’t try to be. Everyone out there has things that they hate about themselves, but fashion is all about finding your best assets and showing them off. If you accentuate the parts of your body that you do love, then you can boost your confidence while also looking more fashionable. So if you have great legs, then wear a skirt with a slit or even try some cigarette pants instead. If you have a smaller frame, then try and wear something that has unbroken contours or even minimal fabric. This will elongate your figure and it will leave you feeling much more empowered. Hourglass figures on the other hand should be trying to wear clothes that bring out their small waists.

Know your Skin and your Shape

Fashion revolves around trial and error. You should try and experiment with a huge range of styles and you should also get an idea about what works for your shape. At the end of the day, you need to make sure that you don’t end up in a style rut and you should always try and keep an open mind too. You never know, you may end up surprising yourself.

Remember that Not All Trends are Equal

Not every style is going to suit every shape. Remember that just because something is in fashion, doesn’t mean that you should be wearing it. Dressing tactfully is so important in the world of style, so select cuts that hide your flaws and choose ones that compliment your highlights. When you do, you will feel much more confident and you may even find that you feel better overall.

Fabric is Everything

All fabrics have varying properties at the end of the day. Some might not be right for you, and there’s nothing wrong with that. If you want to minimize your concern here, then make sure that you avoid fabrics that have a high sheen. They can really reflect light and they can also be unflattering. If you have an area that you particularly want to accentuate then save the sheen for that, as it will help you to make a better outfit choice overall. If you have great curves, then you need to find fabrics that enhance the shape of your body. The right fabric that’s in the right colour can easily boost your confidence and it can also leave you feeling way better about yourself too.

Choose Designs that Suit your Shape

Not everyone is a fan of animal print. This is fine, but it can look great if you can pull it off. In fact, sometimes you can use them to your advantage too. Prints create an illusion and they can also step up your fashion game. A good rule is that you want to wear the print, rather than the print wearing you. If you want to do this then you need to avoid wide patterns if you have a short stature. If you’re tall then you should stay away from horizontal lines, as this will make you look even taller than you actually are. It’s little design choices like this that will help you to make the most out of the outfits that you have.

Customize, Customize, Customize!

It can be fun to play around with your clothes and accessories so that they better fit you today. For some, that may mean turning a pair of trousers into a pair of shorts, or perhaps cutting the sleeves carefully from a shirt to make it more open and refreshing to wear in the summertime.

Alternatively, enjoying the ancient and fun practice of tie-dying t-shirts can be a fun use of time, especially with your kids if you have them, or nephews and nieces. You can also use specialized services for custom shoes, showcasing the best designs that look and feel nothing but magnetic. The more fun you have with fashion, the better.

Try and Choose Colour Combinations that Lift your Mood

If you want to help yourself here, try and choose colours or combinations that uplift your mood while also giving you a confidence boost. For example, if you want to make yourself appear slimmer then wear a colour-blocking colour around your torso. Navy blue is a fantastic choice here and it can really help you to draw more attention to the areas you love.

Black all the Way

There really is nothing more flattering than black. It’s the ultimate go-to colour and it’s super confidence boosting too. If you are in a style rut, consider combining two black pieces together. This will help you to create a stunning fashion ensemble and it will also help you to add a great deal of depth too.

Be Comfortable

If you don’t feel entirely comfortable or at ease in the clothes that you are wearing then there’s a high chance that you’re not going to feel confident. You have to make sure that you’re showing a good amount of skin and you also need to feel good about yourself too. When it comes to comfort-dressing, everyone has a different idea so find something that works for you and before you know it, everything else will fall right into place.

Start out with a Good Foundation

Having a selection of nice-fitting bras and briefs will really help your clothing to fit you better. It will also help you to feel more confident in yourself too, so make the effort to buy something a little more luxurious and treat yourself. After all, you deserve it!

Find Accessories and Jazz up your Outfit

Sometimes accessories can go a long way when it comes to helping you feel better. If you’re stuck, why not search for Goyard handbags, or even buy a nice necklace for yourself. Little things like this can boost your mood and they can also make you feel ten times better about yourself. If you are still stuck for ideas, why not look for inspiration online? This is a great way for you to broaden your horizons and it can also help you to view different combinations.

Fix your Attitude

The attitude you have will affect how you look and feel in the clothes that you wear. You need to act confident if you want to feel confident. If you don’t, try and fake it. Wear your clothes and don’t let them wear you, and strut your stuff! If you show the world that you’re comfortable then you’ll eventually start to believe it and you will also feel way better as a result. If you are having a hard time doing this, talk to your friends and find other ways to gradually get out of your comfort zone.

How to Wear Boots Well

 

boots and handbags

Boots are the ultimate accessory for Fall and Winter, but there’s no reason you can rock a pair of boots all year round. Whether you’ve invested in a high-quality pair of boots to last a lifetime or you’re changing it up from one season to the next, there are plenty of ways to wear boots well…

Classic Ankle Boots

Ankle boots are a staple in everyone’s closet, and it’s easy to see why. Comfortable, stylish and easy to wear, ankle boots are a go-to shoe which can be incorporated into almost any outfit. While brown or black are the most popular colors, you can find ankle boots in almost any hue you can think of.

If you want to ensure your ankle boots last the test of time, buy high-quality, well-constructed boots and avoid any decorative features, apart from a standard buckle. Zips, buttons and chains are great fashion pieces, but as trends change, they may put your boots out of style. With a pair of classic ankle boots, however, you’ll always be on-trend.

Modern Booties

Designed to end either below the ankle or right on it, booties give your shoe collection a modern twist. Effortlessly versatile, you can pair classic booties with skinny jeans, a statement dress or even a suit for the office. Booties are commonly available in either a stiletto heel or a low, block heel, so it’s easy to find a pair that suits your needs. If you don’t find stilettos comfortable, a block heel will give you extra support and boost your confidence too.

Mid-Calf Boots

Although mid-calf boots are available in thousands of styles, they can be tricky to wear. Rain boots, Ugg boots, cowboy boots and harness boots are all typically found in a mid-calf style, so they’re easier to wear with a casual outfit. If you’re out in bad weather, rain boots can be a comfortable and waterproof choice, whilst Ugg boots are great for relaxing in indoors. Harness boots and cowboy boots can be twinned with jeans, jodhpurs, leggings or even dresses and skirts, but be careful where the hemline ends. To ensure you can wear your boots in style, pick up a pair of seamless cotton and bamboo socks for women. Giving you maximum comfort, your feet will remain warm and dry, no matter how long you wear your boots for.

Knee Boots

Knee-high boots are a fantastic option for anyone because they can easily be dressed up or dressed down. Low-heeled knee highs can be great to walk in, particularly if they’re coupled with a pair of walking socks. Alternatively, if you want to add glamour to an outfit, opt for a knee-high boot with some added height. Available with stiletto, block and wedge heels, there is a knee-high option for everyone. Perfect with jeans, skinny trousers, leggings, skirts or dresses, they’re exceptionally versatile and comfortable, which is why they’re one of the most popular styles on the market.
