10 fashion hacks for stylish women
1
Make an inventory of your wardrobe
How often do you open your overflowing closet and still feel like you have “nothing to wear”? Do you really know what’s in it? If not, make an inventory and ditch everything that you don’t like and haven’t used for the last year, without a doubt and “maybe”. Decluttering will clear your mind and get you ready for fresh ideas.
2
Get new ideas from Pinterest
Don’t rush to buy a new wardrobe. After sorting your things out go to Pinterest. You’ll be surprised how many new ways to style your favorite pieces you can find there. Just type in the search bar: “white button-down outfits” (or whatever you want) and you’ll get hundreds ideas that you can replicate and make your own with similar pieces you already have in your closet.
3
Focus on go-to basics
Don’t waste your money on super trendy pieces because they will be out of style in a season. It’s the #1 fashion hack you’ve probably heard about many times. Focus on buying wardrobe basics such as a striped sweater, a white collared shirt, a timeless little black dress, a black turtleneck, classic jeans, a black or neutral blazer, a few white tees, sleek loafers, white sneakers, and ballet flats.
“White is pure and simple and matches with everything.” – Christian Dior
4
Don’t buy lots of cheap “fast fashion”
“Don’t buy much but make sure that what you buy is good.” – Christian Dior
Gorgeous, quality and well-fitting clothing will keep you looking stylish for years to come. And it feels great!
5
Beware of the crop tops
Even though they are cute and trendy, they’re probably making you look shorter because they break your natural body lines at the middle.
6
Follow the “one vulgar thing at a time” rule
Choose: either a short skirt or a deep neckline.
7
If in doubt wear black
“You can wear black at any time. You can wear it at any age. You may wear it for almost any occasion; a ‘little black frock’ is essential to a woman’s wardrobe.” – Christian Dior
8
Say no to extra-long fake nails
Since the Ming Dynasty of China, very long artificial nails have been symbols of status indicating that noblewomen did not have to do manual labor. But today they demonstrate a bad taste and vulgarity. By the way, men like a simple and neat manicure and nails of medium length or short and the shape is either a soft square or an oval. So forget about extra-long claws.
9
Don’t confuse nakedness with sexiness
At 17, girls dress formally only for big events and weddings. They might not have a clue what “elegance” means. For most of them, nakedness and sexiness are the same things. A hormonal activity rules their life and it’s rather normal from the biological point of view
Only after 21 and on, women start realizing that a balance between elegance and sexiness can be achieved without looking provocative, nude, offensive or any variety of adjectives that accurately describe vulgarity.
10
Remember – elegance is always sexy
Although the concepts of sexuality and vulgarity don’t stand still, some signs of vulgarity remain unchanged. If your outfit is stylish and makeup not too far from natural, your movements are graceful and your self-esteem is high, then elegance comes across as irresistibly sexy.
Wrapping up
A woman can be considered stylish if she has a strong sense of personal style and is able to express it through her clothing choices and overall appearance. A stylish woman is confident in her look and is able to put together outfits that are both fashionable and appropriate for the occasion.
A stylish woman may also be open to trying new trends and experimenting with different looks, but ultimately has a wardrobe that is a little bit conservative and reflects her personal aesthetic. She pays attention to the fit and quality of her clothing, and is able to accessorize her outfits in a way that enhances her overall look.
