Rules to master for excellent style

Rules to master for excellent style

Fashion can be a struggle, especially when playing many different roles in modern society. Ideally, one wants to find a style that suits the weekend, the workplace, casual family meetings and even the nightclub. This guide is meant to help create the perfect wardrobe for fashion-forward women.

Get the right shoes for the right occasion

Having a smart choice of women’s shoes will make it easier to get dressed when leaving the house. It is hard to get a style of shoe that will be suitable for all occasions, so it will be necessary to do a little bit of shopping. Even for the office, one may need to get different shoes for regular workdays and casual Fridays. Note that the shoes picked have to go well with the chosen outfit – for example, a pencil skirt will work well with block heels. Although fashion may occasionally force the wearer to sacrifice some comfort, it’s always a good idea to go for comfortable shoes if they are a suitable option, for example, swapping stilettos for block heels or ankle boots.

Avoid fast fashion

Fashion trends come and go, and it may feel necessary to keep changing one’s wardrobe, but keeping up with fast fashion can be financially draining and may even lead to making embarrassing mistakes. For example, military fashion in the UK is commonly used as a statement of the political or social conditions of the society, and this must be understood before jumping into this type of fashion. Mass-produced, cheap, seasonal clothing is also very detrimental to the environment and often unethically produced. Instead of going for fast fashion, good-quality timeless designs can be worn time and again.

Focus on the clothing fit

Clothing fit has become underrated over the decades with bespoke tailoring no longer being common, but this is still practically the most important aspect of style. If clothes don’t fit properly, it doesn’t matter how expensive or high-quality they are – they simply won’t look good. It is also worth noting that poorly fitting clothes can easily ruin one’s day as they won’t feel comfortable.

Choose the right colours

Selecting colours for clothes can be challenging. There’s no need to settle with a specific set of colours and everyone can switch them up from time to time. The first thing to consider is personality: different colours reflect different vibes, so it’s fun to pick one that matches one’s mood and general style. It is also possible to use colour to stand out in a group. For example, when going for an interview, applicants can opt for a sorbet-coloured blazer as it is bound to leave an impression on the hiring managers.

Conclusion

Modern women don’t have time for a complicated wardrobe. Instead of chasing trends, it’s best to stick with those tried-and-tested favourites that last, with some seasonal complements. It is worth getting different shoes for different occasions. Most importantly, clothes must fit properly as this will give more confidence and comfort.
