Fashion Advice From The Professionals For Everyone

By Janet Timmons


Many people are interested in looking their best but do not currently consider themselves to be very "fashionable" people. As a result, it can be hard for them to know where to begin when they are trying to enhance their appearance. If this sounds like you, read on for fashion tips and advice that you can apply to your life.

If you have short, chubby legs, avoid wearing a dress or skirt that end above your knees. That length will bring attention to the shortness of your legs. You should, instead, wear a dress length that is long, preferably down to your ankles. This will hide the fact that your legs are short.

One shirt a week can add up over time. All it takes is a little bit of spending here and there and you can figure out how to get a lot of clothes for you to wear in the future. Be patient and in time you will build a great collection of clothes.

Be a trend setter. You can buy the newest, hottest styles but you won't stand out if you are wearing the same thing as everyone else. Be daring and try something off the top of your head. Some of the biggest fashion designers made their mark by being completely unique and sometimes even bizarre.

Go shopping for clothes when you feel good about yourself. If you go when you don't feel so good, any insecurities you have about your body will haunt you during the entire trip and you'll feel worse and end up buying something that doesn't really suit you. Wait until you feel great and are ready to choose the best!

Throw away that sweater with the hole in it or those jeans that are barely staying together at the crotch. They may feel like old friends, but if you're spotted in them, you're going to be viewed as the neighborhood bag lady. It's easy to forget that your shirt is stained if you suddenly have to leave the house. Buy and wear clothing that you won't mind being seen in.

You can make much cheaper clothing look more expensive by changing the buttons. If you buy a jacket that has cheap plastic buttons, you can replace them with some that will give it a lot more character. You should try vintage buttons since that look stays popular throughout the ages.

Don't be afraid to accessorize. The right accessory can turn the average outfit into a fashion statement. Pick a fun accessory and let it shine. Try adding a colorful scarf, a fun chunky necklace or a blinged-out belt. Be careful though, while one eye-catching accessory can enhance an outfit, don't go crazy. You want your piece to serve as an eye-catcher.

The topic of fashion can be overwhelming, particularly if you have not followed trends very closely in the past. However, it is possible to "learn" to be more fashionable. By taking the information in this article and using it, you can look better and feel more confident in your appearance.
