A Blazer Never Lies
Nothing looks more professional and majestic than a well-tailored blazer. It is easy to style on any ensemble and has no preference for age, profession, or skin tone. With effortless grace, a blazer can work for a daily style routine or for a gleaming occasion. Take your style to the next level and pair your blazer with a crisp white shirt and denim jeans that scream fierce and unstoppable. Or pair them with suit pants and a pair of killer heels—perfect for a black-tie event.
Monochrome For The Win
Monochrome clothing is highly versatile. The best part about it is that it takes minimal effort, but produces a maximum amount of glamour. In detail, monochrome dressing in a one-directional type of strategy involves the use of a pantone of color or shades of a color to complete any outfit. Contrasting textures and fabrics could also add depths and layers. Pair a monochrome look with accessories that pop, to add a dash of color. The freedom and ease that monochromatic outfits present empowers women in however manner they like.
A LBD (Little Black Dress) Is Always A Good Choice
Having an outfit you can style is sexy. Having a dress you can style multiple times is sexier. The combination of minimalism and utility makes a little black dress endearing, professional and empowering. You can style an LBD with black pumps for daytime office wear. If you are running late for a party, simply switch up the look with embellished sandals and jewelry for a nighttime look.
Pick The Right Accessories
Whether it is a pair of pretty cocktail earrings, nude pumps, a leather bag, a wide belt, or badass sunglasses, confidence starts with the right pair of accessories. These accessories are essential to pulling an outfit together, and may at times be referred to as ‘ enhancers.’ Here, quality over quantity must be taken into consideration. Worn out and broken accessories are excess garbage. Throw them out!
Step Out In Bright Colors
Most people shy away from the bright colors in clothing. It is super empowering to step out of your comfort zone and try something new. If you want to start little, start by making a statement with a bright accessory. I promise it would go from just plain meh to fabulous.
Clothes do not make you. It’s not a concrete descriptor of who you are, or what you want, or even what you are capable of. However, it can influence how you feel.
With these styling tips, you should definitely feel more confident in whatever you set your mind to wear. Try out styles that conform to your distinct taste, let your personality seep through, pick style icon(s), express yourself.
