With fashion guidance for styling every look in your closet, you’ll gain confidence in your own style.

  • Make the most of your capsule wardrobe. Make sure you have the following wardrobe essentials: a classic little black dress, a pair of well-fitting trousers, a classic blazer, simple T-shirts and button-downs in neutral hues, and an easy leather jacket (or denim jacket). The trick to looking put-together is to invest in a capsule collection of mix-and-match basics (and learn how to dress them).
  • Check to see if your clothing are a perfect fit. Hiring a professional tailor is one way to make any piece of clothing seem beautiful. Tailored clothing not only looks good, but it also makes you feel good. You won’t feel elegant in pants that drag on the ground or outfits that bunch up awkwardly. If your capsule wardrobe fits you well, you can begin to experiment with over- and under-sized things in a stylish, not sloppy manner.
  • Learn how to keep proportions in check. It’s all about arranging your attire to achieve an overall aesthetic harmony when it comes to balancing proportions. Wearing clothes that are tailored to your body form is one approach to do this. Make a fashion statement by keeping the rest of your outfit fitted when you want to experiment with bigger or odd shapes. Pair a tight crop top with wide-leg jeans or a puff-shoulder shirt with straight-leg slacks, for example.
  • Discover your own particular style. It can take years to develop a signature style, but you can start by making a mood board. Remember that personal style is an experiment; you never know what stunning looks you’ll find in the dressing room until you’re there. The terms “menswear” and “womenswear” should not be used to determine how you purchase.
  • Improve your shopping skills. Learning how to buy for exactly what you want will help you avoid overstocking your closet with goods you’ll never use. When you have a wardrobe full of items you adore, putting together an ensemble becomes second nature.
  • Add a belt to the look. One of the simplest ways to make any outfit look more put-together is to add a belt. It’s also a terrific way to provide balance to an otherwise unbalanced look, such as a long cashmere sweater and a billowy midi skirt.
  • Use colour to your advantage. Start with one colourful piece and keep the rest of your outfit neutral if you’re afraid of adding colour to your outfit. You’ll learn which colour combinations work best for your style as you become more acquainted with colours. For ideas, take a look at a colour wheel.
  • Patterns and textures should be mixed together. The days of matching your handbag and shoes are long gone. A striking fashion statement is made with clashing textures and designs. Start with simple patterns like stripes and low-key textures like leather and knits, then gradually add sequins and paisleys in little doses (such as a scarf, tie, or clutch) until you figure out what works best for you.
