Fashion is usually called the everyday form of art: whether you look at it as a tool of self-expression or just in a casual way, the art of fashion plays an important role in our day to day life.
Looking good and flawless doesn’t necessarily need too much work as long as you know what works for you but one still need little and easy styling tips in other to be on top of one’s game. And that is why am always here to help you build up a conscious, timeless and stylish wardrobe with trendy outfits.
Mix & Match: Some people called the mix & match technique nothing more than a quick trend, but for me, it’s more like an amazing fashion guide which can help you have a bit more fun with fashion and experience with your style. The aim of mix & match is to bring together elements, patterns and fabrics from different styles in one look to break the harmony a bit. This can be anything from mixing sporty shoes with a formal pencil skirt to matching different striped pieces. If you love colourful outfits, make sure to try out the colour blocking technique as well and match very different shades such as purple and orange or brown and baby blue.
Quality over Quantity: If you are on a budget, try to find timeless, high-quality pieces that can be combined with each other and don’t get fooled by new, constantly changing trends. Look at your clothes and purchases as small investments: you don’t have to change your entire wardrobe everytime if you have pieces that will stick with you for years. With a few dressy gowns, V-neck t-shirts, pencil skirts, jeans and a quality jacket, you don’t have to worry about your essential pieces and can focus on slowly building up a truly unique closet full of great quality items.
Gathering Inspiration: One of the most important fashion aspects is to always experiment, learn more about fashion and search for inspiration from any fashion icon. Your style can be formed and motivated by unique sources,you don’t necessarily need to style yourself like your fashion icon you just need to gather fashion inspiration and who knows you might be better than them at the end of the day.

Monochrome Elegance: When in doubt, go with a full monochrome look: black washed out jeans with a grey turtleneck, a little black dress or an all-white look is perfect for any occasion and will surely not disappoint you, whether you made up your mind or not. Although experimenting is great and it’s an essential step to find and improve your own style, you can achieve a very polished and exceptional look by going with a safer choice and wearing monochrome tones. Not to mention, these shades go well with any skin tone, hair and eye colour, so you just can’t go wrong with them.
Layering: Adding different layers to your outfit will give your whole look a more interesting and put-together vibe. Don’t be afraid to mix in different fabrics such as velvet, silk, lace, leather with regular fabrics such as cotton, which will add plus texture and dimension to your outfit. Besides being a super practical technique in the cold weather, layering is one of the best ways to spice up a simple T-shirts & jeans combination or a formal dress.
Little Details: Want to take your casual outfit to the next level without wearing crazy heels or a form-fitting, tight dress? just make sure you take note of little details like your lipstick, ear rings, nail polish etc and you can make all the whole difference with these little details. Looking classy and elegant doesn’t mean you have to pull out the most fancy dresses of your closet, it’s more about focusing on the smaller details.
Before You Leave:Â Take a last look at your outfit before you leave the house to ensure every detail is in place. Brush your hair one last time, check if your lipstick is in place or if your blouse is entirely tucked in your skirt: these small steps only take a few seconds, but besides giving you the opportunity to last-minute changes, it will also give you that extra comfort and confidence which will help you get through the day, even at your not-so-best-dressed moments.
Feeling Confident & Comfortable:Â Without a doubt, the biggest secret to every flawless outfit is confidence. An outfit can look absolutely different on different people so wear it like you mean it and always make sure you feel confident and comfortable before leaving the house. Even if something is out of your normal comfort-zone, try out how you feel in it when you are at home to ensure you can truly be happy with what you are wearing and instead of blindly following rules and trends, trust your instincts.
Emergency Kit:Â Always keep a small emergency kit in your bag with the most essential things, such as an extra pair of tights, band aids or a lipstick to touch up little flaws during the day. Even if you have a lucky day and nothing goes wrong, you can never know when one of your friends will have an SOS fashion moment, and having all these important items will make you feel more secure and comfortable, knowing that no matter what happens, you have a back-up plan.
Stay Fashionable and Beautiful!!!
