Sometimes we believe that looking good is a matter of “good taste” or having a lot of money to fill our closet with things. We will not necessarily have both at our disposal and that does not have to be a headache. They ask me what are those basic tips to wear a style that transmits an appropriate image, that we can all apply in our day to day to dress in the office and today I made a summary of some of those basic style tips.
I am sure that we can all easily put these tips into practice and you will see that with just a few adjustments or changes we will be able to feel and look great.
#1 Invest in good shoes
While it is true, there are many footwear options at our disposal and not necessarily “brand” shoes are the best. If it is true, that the best quality ones can have a higher price. Not only do they have a better appearance, but they are of better quality and more comfortable. We think that shoes are what support our weight all day, so they are comfortable and do not hurt our feet is essential. Some classic black or nude stilettos are basic.
Put it this way, it is as if you were going to run a marathon, you would do it with any shoe or you would look for the ones that are best for you, in terms of quality, comfort, performance, etc.
#2 Combine three colors
Sometimes we overcomplicate ourselves thinking about the color combinations in our clothes. Combining a color or two is easy, but we can say that the “ideal” combination is up to three colors counting everything you wear in your outfit, from clothes to accessories. If you have a printed garment, look for the other accessories like spider young thug to be preferably in a single tone and based on the same color palette that we find in the print.
#3 The high waist is flattering
For a long time, hip pants and skirts were all the rage. Luckily that fashion is almost almost disappearing and the waist is once again taking center stage in the female silhouette. For this reason, high-waisted garments, be they skirts or pants, even dresses, with a well-defined waist will help us to stylize the figure and make it even more feminine. We will look taller and slimmer and I think that’s something we all want.
#4 Not everything that is fashionable suits you
The title explains itself. We constantly see many garments that come into trend for short periods of time and automatically all stores fill their windows with the same thing. It is inevitable not to feel tempted at times to acquire some of these garments and there is nothing wrong with that.
What must be clear is that not everything that is out of fashion or is in trend is favorable for everyone. Especially in the workplace, it is not that we are oblivious to fashion, not at all, but let’s say that it is not the highest priority of an elegant and neat look. The basics will always reign. Also remember that fashion passes, but style never.;)
#5 Less skin is more.
When we talk about things that add us to our outfit, showing less skin is a plus and the best option is king spider! This refers, for example, to sleeveless tops, blouses or dresses, plunging necklines, open backs, very short skirts, bare shoulders, etc. It is not that we are prudish, far from it, it is just that when it comes to the work environment, we seek to project an image. Those cute clothes where we allow ourselves to show a little more skin, are perfect for our social and personal environment, so there is no reason to think that we can not use them at another time.
# 6 No to oversized clothes
On the other hand, there are those who go to the other extreme and wear extra large clothes. It is not about the fashion of “oversized” garments but of garments that are obviously one or more sizes larger. This gives the impression of wanting to hide, or hide. We may not be comfortable with some part of our body, but wearing more sizes will not make that go away, on the contrary, you will get even more attention.
Wearing clothes in our size is ideal. It’s like wearing a shoe size smaller or larger. With neither of the two you will be fine, nor comfortable and you will transmit that to others.
#7 Use accessories
Many times our garments can be quite simple and classic. We may not even be an expert in combining colors or patterns and that’s okay. One way you can lift an outfit, give it your personal stamp and style, is through accessories. You can wear all of them in the rule of 1 (a necklace, a ring, a watch, a bracelet) or have an accessory that is the star of your outfit, such as a maxi necklace, a scarf or a brooch.
#8 Basic of basics: The black jacket
One of the main basics of the wardrobe is the black jacket. It doesn’t matter what outfit or style we are wearing. Whether it’s casual, formal, elegant, etc., a black jacket will add that touch of style to any outfit, even with jeans. Get one that fits your silhouette very well.
