Picking an outfit and Styling it

Have a big event coming up? Or maybe a school dance? Or maybe you’re just confused as to what to wear on a school day. Well, if that’s the case then you’re in the right place because this post is here to provide you tips on how to pick an outfit for any of those occasions!

So, first things first, go with colors that complement each other, as in you don’t want to go with colors that completely clash with each other. Here are a few examples: orange with blue, purple with yellow, red with green and also black and white is something you can never go wrong with. Black and white also go together with the colors mentioned before.

Next, you want to pick an outfit that will highlight your figure and make you feel good about yourself. You don’t want an outfit that makes you feel uncomfortable or insecure about yourself. It doesn’t have to be a tight one, it can be a loose or oversized outfit as well but just make sure that it fits well and that it’s oversized in the right places like your shoulders and waist otherwise you’ll look huge and it will not be flattering to your figure.

If you want a textured outfit then, a tip is to make sure that you have a difference in textures. So, if your top has a rough texture then make sure that the bottom half of your outfit has a smooth texture and vice versa. Same thing applies for patterns, if the bottom half of your outfit has a very overwhelming/ large pattern then make sure that your top has a smaller/ less overwhelming pattern on it and vice versa because otherwise your outfit will be too much.

Adding a pop or several small pops of color can make a change in your outfit as well! For example, take an all black outfit and add some red accessories or an all white outfit and add some purple accessories. You can have so much fun with it! One thing to note is that pops of color only work with solid color outfits. Also, when adding accessories, make sure that you go with small pieces that go well together or one big statement piece that goes well with your entire outfit.

Another helpful tip is Less is more. By this I mean that you don’t want too much going on with your outfit and accessories because then people won’t focus on your beauty and your outfit will end up being too much to look at. You want to make sure that you shine through in the outfit and that you wear it not the other way round.

How much skin you want to show, depends on you. If you feel comfortable with showing a lot of skin then go for it but if you don’t then it’s not a problem at all. You don’t need to show skin to look good or be showstopping. If you want to dress sexy then so be it and if you want to dress cute then that’s fine as well. Just remember, fashion is a form of expression and you can wear whatever you want to express yourself!
