It's
not very easy to grow up into a woman. We are always taught, almost bombarded,
with ideals of what we should be at every age in our lives: "This is what
you should wear at age eighteen", "That is what you must act like at
age twenty", "this is what you should be doing when you are
seventeen." But amidst all the many voices that bark all these orders and
set all of these ideals for girls today, there lacks the voice of assurance. I
want to be able to say, that there are things admirable for a woman to be, at
any age! Whether you’re sixteen or twenty-five it's always wonderful to be
elegant, it's always fashionable to have grace, it's always glamorous to be
brave, and it's always important to own a delectable scent. Elegance and smartness
is the sexiest thing woman can have, not just the flesh. Over the years,
I’ve been observing this and came up with the list of tips on how to be classy
yet staying simple. Read on and see how you can dress gracefully and
glamorously.
1. Remember that less is more - Never
go over the top with anything you wear.
Try to keep it simple and clean to achieve a look that’s effortlessly
stylish. Try not to pile on too many layers of clothes and accessories, let the
beauty of each piece shine. Having too much going on in your outfit makes it
tacky and confusing. Also, make sure all the pieces go well together. Try to swerve
away from pieces that are too racy and revealing. These are tricky to wear and
can easily take away the classy look you’re trying to go for.
2.
Don’t take trends heavily- I must admit
that I hate to wear something that everybody is wearing that is why I personally
favor for thrifted clothes since designer clothes are dreadfully expensive. I would
rather stick with timeless and classic pieces that I know will flatter my body
well instead of going for trends that doesn’t fit me, it’s too daring and gallant.
Dressing up for the body that you have is also one of the easiest things you
can do to make shopping for clothes a whole lot easier. When you know which
styles and designs flatter your body, you’re less likely to wander off in the
store for hours not knowing what exactly you’re looking for.
3. Invest in neutrals – Neutral
colors are fantastic ways to put the focus on other colors and spice up your
look. However, neutrals are also wonderful options if you want to tone down bold,
bright pieces that otherwise would be too emphatic on their own. This way you can
create stunning outfits for everyday occasions and formal wear as well, which
will definitely make you stand out from the crowd. Even when on a limited
budget, you can still get the classy by investing in neutral pieces. Neutral
colors allow you to mix and match endlessly. You can use it to create a plain
and simple outfit that can later on be glammed up with accessories and pops of
colors through other pieces.
4. Go for
highwaist - No matter what your body type is, a skirt that hits
high on the waist is always flattering, like the cullotes what I am wearing. It
emphasizes the smallest part of your torso and gives you a sexy hourglass
shape. Invest in a simple high-waisted skirt, jeans or cullotes that you can
pair with shirts you already own, and enjoy your exceptionally feminine
physique.
5.Heels modifies
the whole look- Of
course, high heels make any outfit a little fancier, but they do more than
that. Your legs look longer and your body slimmer when you wear heels, which
also help with upper body posture. Slip on a pair for a few extra inches and a
lot of added elegance. Although we know they can be painful, and we know we've been warned
they aren't good for our feet, but heels really can take a look that we're
bored with and turn it into something we feel awesome about. Oh, the power of
heels.
6.
Dress for style not for boys - It actually makes getting dressed easier when you're dressing
for style, not for boys, and your confidence will shine through because you'll
be more comfortable in what you're wearing. If you feel uncomfortable,
you probably look uncomfortable. Your confidence is affected by what
you're wearing, as sad of a thought as that might be. So if you're feeling
self-conscious about your outfit, you're likely to be tugging at it or
double-checking that everything is in place all day and night.
7. Believe in yourself – stand for your outfit
and quell your shyness because elegance is generated by confidence. There are
so many ways that a girl can project a ladylike image, and so many ways that
she can wreck the image quickly too. Think about how you want to look and the
image that you want to project and, if you believe it, it will happen.
8. Stay happy and beautiful-Go outside and get some sun on your skin. We're not
saying you should be tanning at all, but when you look at the most stunning
people in the world, your first thought isn't, "I bet she spends a lot of
time in front of a computer." Lather up in SPF but still go outside as
often as possible and breathe in some fresh air. Wear sunglasses too, you
only have one set of eyes, so why not protect them in style? Walk with smile
and slay it.
