Improve Your Posture
Channeling your scary teacher from fourth grade – stand up straight! There are countless studies showing the direct correlation between good posture and success. Most of us don’t even think about our posture, but it can greatly affect our looks. Take a look in the mirror at your side body profile as you naturally stand. If things aren’t aligning, it’s time to straighten things out.
Accessorize
Sure, the clothes make the man, but the accessories complete him. Have you ever put on a nice outfit but felt like something was missing? The answer is accessories. Think of them as the icing on the cake.
From belts, to jewelry, to headpieces, even a nice brooch, there are endless ways to elevate your outfit. Accessories also help to redirect the eye to places you want people to focus on, and a well-placed belt can make all the difference in how flattering an outfit looks.
Know Your Colors
There are plenty of ways to test which colors will complement your skin tone best. Some wash you out without you even realizing it. The right colors, however, will make you glow and elevate how you look. Picking a new array of colors will also open your eyes to new ways of mixing and matching clothes, giving your wardrobe a general refresh. Plus, playing with colors is fun! Live a little.
Dress For Your Body Type
Similar to colors, wearing clothes that aren’t suited to your body type can be disastrous. Not all clothes are made for every body type, but there is something for everyone. Be honest about the body shape that you have and do some research into what suits you best.
You may need to change your style up a bit, but this can be a good thing. You’ll start to feel more confident right away.
Take the Plunge
You deserve to look your best, and there’s no reason you shouldn’t! There are simple ways to elevate your style that won’t break the bank. It’s all about creativity and having an open mind. You’ll see and feel a difference in yourself in no time, and others will notice, too.
