A famous saying goes, “If the eyes do not admire, the heart will not desire,” and it fits for everyone when it comes to looks.  Regardless of wherever you go, whatever you do, or whomever you meet, how you look matters.

The way you dress, walk and talk reflects your personality and often specifies who you are. That said, negligence towards curating a wardrobe can influence everything from your online persona to your personal, social and professional life. If you want to be admired, appreciated, accepted and valued by the people you meet, focus on your dressing and everything that goes with it.

For many people, fashion is synonymous with buying expensive and branded items. Nothing could be further from the truth. Understand that looking your best has nothing to do with spending hefty amounts to buy trendy clothes, branded bags or pricy pairs of high heels.

You can look just as voguish, putting on something nice from the nearest thrift store as you would in runway couture. Fashion is subjective, and how you carry a look matters more than what you wear or who you wear. Knowing what works and what doesn’t for you is how you find your personal style. With that said, a few things are considered fashion fundamental and work across all seasons, body types, and cultures. If you haven’t found your personal style yet, that’s okay because we’re here to help.

Start with these six things!

How to Instantly Elevate Your #OOTD

1. Look Colorful

Yes, why not look colorful instead of just going with a boring, colorless dress. Get rid of that old sense of matching pants and top along with same color footwear. Variety and range in your outfit can add the oomph factor separating the average sense of style from the great.

So try different color combinations to achieve an instant chic look.

2. Wear Jewelry

Secondly, go for suitable jewelry considering the place you are dressing up for. If not much, try wearing something unique and startling, just like the turtle ring and earrings the internet has been raving about from Dreamland Jewelry.  Putting on one or two unique rings that match and complement your style is a lot better than going out with empty fingers.

Need more convincing? According to CalmClinic, rings can be a great tool for relieving anxiety as you can fidget or spin them to ground yourself.

3. Go for Hats

Grabbing stylish hats to style them with a basic outfit is also an easier way to elevate your look instantly. Wearing a top and pants with roughly braided hair flowing out of a cute hat is the perfect fall look. Not just a top, but hats work with everything from dresses to blazers, suits and jackets. Feeling lazy and stepping out to grab a quick bite in your pajamas? A cute hat over your head will instantly add depth to your outfit and make you look good. Having a bad hair day? Just grab a hat, and you’re sorted. There’s no denying that hats work, regardless of the season or time of day.

4. Grab a Belt

A fancy belt can go a long way in adding class and elegance to an outfit. Although belts have this surprising ability to complement all types of dresses, make sure you’re not going overboard with those fancy, bejeweled belts and tons of chains, especially if you’re dressing fancy as well. For simple jeans and t-shirt, trendy leather belts with chains work exceptionally well, so it’s all about knowing and prioritizing the right accessories.

5. Neck Scarf

Another instant fashion hack is to go for a neck scarf based on your comfort. A neck scarf with any of your basic outfits would add charm to your dressing sense and you can achieve a cute, comfortable, stylish look by almost doing nothing at all.

6. Put on Sunglasses

Suppose you are late for your workplace or any of the other places you had to go. No time to put makeup on or do your hair. Now, get up, pull out a suitable dress from your wardrobe, just brush your hair and you are all set to leave, but hey, wait! You are looking good but not fashionable at all. Now, go where all of your sunglasses are. Pick a classy one and fix them over your head or eyes to add an instant charm to your look for the day.

Essentials to Know For All Outfit Types

A few things to remember when deciding your outfit of the day and complementing accessories:

• Consider the short and tall effect while juggling with your looks. Try styling different outfits before finalizing your look and determining what goes best with you as a tall person or a short and cute one.
• Prioritize your comfort rather than forcing the outfit to look visually appealing. Sometimes you only look as good as you feel.
• Dress according to the occasion. Some outfits may work on one occasion but won’t be appropriate for another. Make sure you understand the dress code.
• Try to look different because different is always attractive, and it’s easy to achieve a stylish look as well. Don’t cling to one style, and always be open to experimenting.

There’s nothing more important than looking confident with what you are wearing. Whatever choices you make, add sparkle to your outfit with poise. If you feel uninspired, there is plenty of content on Pinterest boards to help you out with your looks and choose a personal style. So, take some time to figure out what’s best for you and don’t stop yourself from trying new things.
