While following fashion trends is a
passion for people like myself, others see it as unnecessary or feel
indifferent about it. If you are struggling or need help to get on board the
fashion train….here are some tips for you!
1. Keep up with Fashion Trends
2. Look through you wardrobe to retain and
ditch some of your old stuff
3. Go shopping
4. Look after your skin
5. Accessorize
6. Change your hair
To keep
up with the latest fashion trends, go online, watch style-related TV
programmes or channels, look through fashion magazines and fashion blogs. If
you have been keeping up with my posts, you’d notice that I’ve gone through the
last five seasons, and other tips. What you can do now is incorporate my
earlier posts with what I’m about to tell you now, and you’ll sure be updated
and on your way to transformation.
Ransack
your wardrobe, identify
the items you can keep and those that are no good to you, you could get a
second opinion from your sister or a friend. Discard unflattering and
old-fashioned clothing that do you no justice.
Go
shopping for new clothes.
I’d advice that you consult with a personal shopper for more professional help
and advise if you can afford it. Alternatively, ask an open and honest friend to
accompany you t help with advise on the choices and fit of clothes. Also,
invest in items that are not only trendy, but also ones that could be worn
beyond that season because fashion evolves but some trends stay. You really
don’t have to shop expensive items; you could go for fashionable low-cost but
quality stuff too.
Don’t forget to invest in a little black dress (LBD); it’s a
fashion essential that would come in handy some day.
Don’t’ forget to shop clothes that
complement your skin colour. If you are dark skinned, wear colours like peach,
plantation green, tangerine orange, fuchsia pink, navy blue, royal blue,
mustard yellow to mention few. If you are light skinned, you can wear red,
black, purple, cream, brown, golden olive, various shades in pink like baby
pink, rose pink.
In addition to acquiring new clothes, it
is advisable to adopt a new skin care regime. Wash your face twice a day; eat
healthy to have a glowing and youthful look.
Accessorize with belts, jewelry
(earrings, rings, bangles, purses, handbags, sandals, shoes, etc.).
You’d also have to change how you style
your hair taking into consideration your facial features like the shape of your
face. No more craziness with the hairstyles and colours!
When putting your clothes together, be
careful to not wear too many colours. Wearing more than four colours at a go is
over board.
Remember no to bare too much skin….its
either cleavage or pins, the two would be too much out there.
And remember the Simplicity of
Style…Less is More!
