Whether you’re attending a formal event such as a wedding, starting a new job, or simply looking for a change, learning how to put together an outfit is a key skill. Once you’ve mastered this skill, you may also find that you’re more confident as a result, no matter what outfit you are wearing. 

This is because, according to industry experts, “knowing your style, the colours you look best in, and the pieces that radiate your personality and lifestyle can create a unique ensemble that will leave you placid and fearless no matter the occasion.”

With that in mind, here are some simple tips you can use to pick an outfit that makes you look and feel great! 

Get to know your body. 

Firstly, let’s start by saying that every body is beautiful in its own way – meaning you should embrace every curve or ‘imperfection’ and learn to love them. In doing so, not only will you feel more confident, but you’ll also become a master at dressing for your body type. That is, you’ll be able to choose clothes that flatter you and show off your best assets – as opposed to hiding them away under baggy clothes. Learning more about your body type will help you “unlock a world of style that’s easier to navigate and build your confidence in knowing what really works for you.”

Pull an outfit together by focusing on the colour palette. 

It goes without saying that some colours complement each other more than others. Being able to identify which shades and hues blend together nicely will help you to put together a flawless outfit every time! If you aren’t sure where to start, try using a colour wheel as a guide. You should also pay close attention to the colours that suit your complexion or that make you feel good! 

Don’t forget about accessories. 

Your outfit does not begin and end with your clothes, but for one reason or another, many people forget how important accessories are when putting together an outfit. This is because they can help give your look a clean, polished feel or showcase your unique personality. As a result, you should ensure you have a range of accessories to choose from when getting ready each morning. You should also look for ways in which you can personalise them, such as by buying piercing charms for your earrings. 

Wear what you love, not what everyone else loves. 

When putting together an outfit, it’s easy enough to follow the latest trends or to wear the same things that everyone else is wearing. However, it’s also important to note that you should be dressing for yourself, not for others. That is, if these outfits don’t make you feel great, you simply won’t look as good or as confident! When you begin wearing what you love, however, confidence will radiate from you! As such, you should ensure your wardrobe is a reflection of you and the things you love. Embrace what makes you unique, and your style will be instantly elevated.
