Fashion is what you make it, and it's your own unique personal taste of how you express yourself. However, there is much to learn from others, and you can incorporate many fashion tips as you continue to learn more. Keep reading for some helpful fashion advice as you start diving head-first into the world of fashion.
Choose items to add to your wardrobe that make sense for your lifestyle. If you spend most of your time in jeans, then buy the best looking and best-fitting jeans that you can afford. The money you spend on an item for your wardrobe that you wear regularly is always a good investment.
Always remember to bring the shoes you plan on wearing to a special event along when you shop for the perfect dress. This allows you to see how the shoes look with the dresses you are considering. It will also give you an idea of any alterations that may need to be made.
A simple black blazer is a fantastic addition to any wardrobe. You can use it to dress up almost any outfit. Then, you can remove it if you change to a more casual venue. The color will also match virtually anything in your closet, from jeans to business casual blouses and slacks.
Don't be afraid to top off your look with an awesome hat. In days gone by, it was commonplace for women and men to wear hats on a daily basis. What was once the height of fashion has, unfortunately, fallen to the wayside in modern times. Be adventurous, and finish off your look with an ultra-cool fedora or a pretty sun hat.
Do not automatically trust a size label. Don't purchase something that you haven't tried on. Sizing is not based on any standard methodology. Different brands have different measurements and sizes. If you are brave enough to buy clothes off an online site, carefully examine their sizing chart first. Also look for if you can return clothes if they don't fit.
Newsletters which focus on fashion topics are a great way to get trends right to your inbox. Lead your friends in the fashion scene by knowing ahead of time what looks, colors and fabrics are on the fashion horizon.
To push your style, try layering a fun skirt over a dress. There are many dresses out there that would make excellent tops. Just throw a skirt over the dress itself. The skirt should be made of thicker fabric, so you don't have unseemly bunching. You could even have the dress peek out a bit below the skirt for a fun, unorthodox look.
To add a touch a bit of "spring" to your wardrobe, go with mint green this season. This soft green looks great on its own or when paired with other colors like neutrals and other subdued hues. You can find it in various shades and in everything from dresses to shoes.
Always break in a new pair of shoes before a special occasion or a long awaited vacation trip. There is nothing worse than finding that a new pair of shoes pinches or rubs when you are in the middle of a wedding reception or walking on a guided tour of a fabulous new city.
Some people believe fashion only involves clothes. They are not aware that bad hair can negatively affect your whole look. You need to make sure that you use high quality hair products in order to keep your hair looking fabulous at all times, so that it compliments your choice of clothing.
Visit consignment stores for great value on formal wear. Women usually only wear formal gowns once or twice for those special occasions before they do not want to wear it anymore. You can find gowns that are almost brand new at a fraction of the price of a new gown.
You may have thought before that fashion was something you weren't able to keep up with. However, hopefully you've learned that it's more about personal taste and what you can learn and gain from others as you express yourself. Remember the tips and advice you've read here as you continue to learn more information about fashion.
