Shopping for style.

Greetings all, today I thought I’d share my style tips with all the people who believe they lack style. Have you ever looked in the mirror and found that the way you dress was either dull or too flashy? Have you ever opened your cupboard doors and found nothing to wear? Well look no further! I have the right advice.

First look at what’s wrong with your wardrobe, too many odd outfits, non matching pieces and so on, then determine what looks good on you. To do that take your favorite colours and hold them to your face, and pick 4 base colours that look good on you and that would serve to be the base of your wardrobe. I for example use black, blue, pink and white for my wardrobe and everything I buy is one of those four colours. Choose practically when you buy something, it shoul match the core colurs of your wardrobe and should at least go with 10 separate items. Stay away from cluttered patterns and stick to simple centre prints or plain colours. Basic items are essential like black shoes, pants and jackets go with anything and everything. Black is the most practical colour because its neat, slimming, fit for any occasion and goes with all the other colours.

When shopping don’t just buy something just because you like it, it should look good on you, match your wardrobe and fit comfortably, that way assures you that you WILL actually wear it.

Accessories are important but wearing too many can make you look cheap and cluttered. Always opt for simple yet elegant pieces of jewelry that would go with everything. Like diamond studs with an elegant silver chain and a bracelet. And for the guys a simple dog chain is always a stylish choice. Belts and shoes should always match, black is the simplest.

That’s my advice. Its very simple to follow.
