5 game changer tips to look chic|styling tips

Looking good is not all about buying expensive clothes. You can look effortlessly chic on a budget! Little things makes a difference when it comes to choosing your outfit. I do think that in a way you might already be knowing these tips because when you follow them is when people compliment you saying..”that dress looks good on you,”. Here are tips to help you look effortlessly stylish.

    1.Know your body type

    Women have different body types which are put under five categories that is;

    • pear
    • apple
    • inverted triangle
    • rectangle
    • hour-glass

    All these body types are unique in their own way and dressing with this in mind will give you a balanced look. Surprisingly, clothes can be uncomfortable for the wrong shape and that is so not flattering at all. Our goal is to highlight our good features and blend in to have the ‘hour-glass’ appearance. But the key in looking good is having confidence and embracing what you have keeping in mind that each body type is beautiful.

    2. Know your undertone

    There are two main categories…warm and a cool undertone. Although other people tend to be in-between the two and to their luck they can get away with almost every color. This is a great tip that will sort you out when choosing your jewelries and the color of your clothes. The warm undertone goes very well with gold while the cool undertone is perfect with silver. This tip really changed my view on shopping,i now tend to go for gold although am a gold lover so i really can’t say much has changed LOL, but the fact that i know the reason my silver bracelet looks odd on my skin is great.

    3.Tailored clothes

    Having your new clothes tailored to fit you well will change your wardrobe to looking more expensive. Not all clothes will fit you perfectly…Actually so many celebrities get their clothes tailored. I do recommend that you do that and you will see how your game will change. This will also make cheap clothes look like they are designer clothes.

    4. Accessorizing

    We all love accessories but too much of it ruins your outfit. Keep it cool and try to match your medals. Matching has a secret ‘magic’ that will make your outfit look calm. When accessorizing you also want to go for a medal that matches your undertone.

    5.Waist size

    Choosing a belt depending on the size of your waist will leave your body looking beautiful. If you love adding a belt to a dress what size of belt flatters you?Is it the small or large…

    Conclusion

    These tips will help you know what to shop for. Do remember that you look beautiful as you are,beauty starts from the heart. If you follow these tips i assure you that you will notice changes and embrace your body.
