Dressing beautifully every day does take some effort but the effort will not be in vain if the clothes you wear make you feel confident and happy. If you want to look great every day, you should first check your wardrobe and fill it with some must-have classics. To look attractive you have to plan ahead and add accessories to the look and it may take you some time to get used to it but in the end you will end up with lots of stylish mix and match outfits from your wardrobe.
Step
Method 1 of 3: Filling the Wardrobe
Step 1. Buy classic clothes
In order to dress well, it's important that you have a few classic pieces in your wardrobe that will never go out of style. Classic clothing is clothing that is usually not too extreme or seasonal. Instead of that, this type of clothing is generally simple and elegant, such as a navy blazer or a T-shirt with a sleek black V-neckline. Although it looks simple, you can combine this type of clothing with accessories.
Basic and classic clothes are usually easier to mix and match, which means they can be used in various types of appearance
Step 2. Buy some things that stick out a little
In addition to classic clothes, try buying some things that can make your appearance stand out, even if they are simple. Accents can be in the form of a light color that you are not used to wearing, or a pattern that stands out.
For example, you can make a simple look consisting of a white t-shirt and navy blue skirt more attractive with a patterned sweater
Step 3. Buy clothes that you can mix and match
When building a clothing collection, think about whether you can use each piece of clothing in at least two different looks. Mixing and matching is an important part of having an attractive appearance every day.
Chances are you can't buy a lot of clothes to look different every day of the week. But you can buy clothes that you can mix and match to create a variety of different and interesting looks
Step 4. When choosing clothes, consider your body shape
Some clothes have cuts that look different on different body types. Choose clothes that match your body shape and make you feel confident. Everyone has a different perception of what suits their body shape, so try to take the time to try on different types of clothing. For example:
If you are pear-shaped, which means your hips are wider and your bust is smaller, you can try a top with an open neck or a dress with an empire-shaped waist
Step 5. Throw away any worn or torn clothes
Having a good look every day means that you have to be willing to give away or sell clothes that are old. Clothes can wear out, especially if you wear them often. Plus, worn clothes don't look classy-unless you want a look with faded clothes and ripped jeans.
If a shirt is stained, try your best to clean it. But if the stain persists, it may be time to throw the shirt away. Stained clothes tend to look dirty
Step 6. Think about your skin tone when buying clothes
By choosing clothes that match your skin tone, your appearance will look better. Of course, if you don't like a color or don't think it's a good color on your body, don't choose it. One way to dress well is to dress yourself in clothes that make you feel confident and happy. If a color matches your skin tone but you don't like it, don't wear it. Here are general guidelines for skin tone and clothing:
- Very fair skin tones: cool tones, pale pinks, grays, light blues, navy blues, and grass greens.
- Medium skin tones tend to be light: pastels, not too bright reds, and blues. Avoid orange.
- Medium skin tones: colors with metallic tones, jewel tones, purples, burgundy, light blues, dark purples.
- Medium skin tones tend to be dark: dark colors like dark green, bright blue, pale yellow, warm red.
- Very dark skin tones: light colors like burgundy, cobalt blue, bright orange, and red.
Step 7. Hang clothes when storing them and buy a good iron
To be able to have a good appearance, you must maintain and care for your clothing collection properly. This means hanging it as much as possible when storing it and ironing clothes that need to be folded.
You can also try steam pressing to have a neat outfit
Method 2 of 3: Planning Your Appearance
Step 1. Plan your appearance
One of the things to do to dress well is to take the time to plan your appearance. This means planning a performance one night in advance, or planning an appearance for a week at the start of the week. Find a method that works for you. Trying to figure out what to look great in the morning before school starts can be stressful, so it's a good idea to take the time to look through your wardrobe and think about what you'd like to look like and try on a few of them beforehand.
Some teenage girls like to try on clothes and take photos of the looks they like and save them to help them decide what look to look like for the day when they are in a rush. If you have sudden plans to go out with friends, you can look at the documentation of the appearance choices you've made and choose your outfit from there
Step 2. Think about the event you are going to attend
When planning your look, think about what you're going to do in the outfit. Some events require several different types of clothing. For example, if you are going to school, try to dress modestly. However, if you're going to the beach with friends, you can wear a cute summer dress and wear sandals or shoes that won't bother you with your feet in the sand.
If you're not sure what to wear to a particular event, such as a relative's baptism, or a job interview, don't hesitate to ask your friends or family
Step 3. Wear clothes that make you feel confident
When choosing clothes, make sure you feel comfortable and confident wearing them. In the end you have to look attractive in your own eyes, not in the eyes of others. It's important to feel comfortable and happy in your clothes. By exuding confidence and enthusiasm, the appearance looks even more attractive.
Keep in mind that if someone only likes it when you dress up, it's likely that that person doesn't have clear priorities. You have to dress according to your own wishes
Step 4. Don't mix and match different shades
You might be able to mix and match colors that aren't too loud, but it's best if you only have one in your look. Bumping into different shades can make an appearance look ugly.
For example, if you are wearing an argyle print sweater, you should avoid combining it with a striped skirt
Step 5. Try using the "rule of three"
If you're having a hard time choosing a look, using the 'rule of three' can help you create an elegant look quickly. When using this rule, choose three colors: two basic colors (most likely for shirts and pants or skirts) and one color that stands out.
Base colors should be colors that harmonize with each other, such as a navy blue shirt and cream skirt. The accent color should be a bold color that makes the overall look stand out, such as a light red belt or a scarf with silver lace accents
Step 6. Try wearing something really cute at least once a week
Maybe you want to look great every day, but wearing "wow" clothes once a week can help you feel even better dressed. Take a moment to think about this eye-catching look.
Step 7. Try to avoid wearing the same clothes twice a week
This may not be possible if you have to wear your uniform to school, but try to avoid wearing the same outfit twice a week if you're going to be hanging out or being seen by the same people. However, if there are two different parties and different guests, you can wear the same outfit.
That doesn't mean you have to avoid wearing the same clothes twice a week. If you have a skirt that can be used in two different looks, you can choose these two looks in the same week. Remember, mixing and matching is the key to making you feel like you have so much to wear
Step 8. Make an emergency appearance
Sometimes you find you don't want to follow a pre-prepared look plan. If this happens, it is important that you have a backup appearance plan. This appearance should look simple, comfortable, and easy to combine with accessories. For example, your makeshift look could be a nice mix of jeans, a tank top in your favorite color, and a sweater. With these basic outfits, all you need to do is add a necklace, scarf, or some cool shoes.
Method 3 of 3: Blending Outfits with Accessories
Step 1. Choose shoes that look classy
When looking for shoes, try to choose shoes that can match most of the looks you have created. These can be classic black flats, a nice pair of boots, or short wedges that can be worn with a skirt or dress.
Try on these shoes and make sure you have no trouble walking in them. If you plan to wear them often, it's important to make sure they feel comfortable
Step 2. Wear shoes that are appropriate for the occasion
As with clothes, think about the event you'll be attending when choosing which shoes to wear. In certain formal events, sandals are not the right choice. Also, wearing high heels to college can make it difficult for you to move from one class to another.
Step 3. Keep your shoes looking new
If your shoes are damaged or scratched, try polishing them to make them look shiny and new again. Having an attractive appearance means wearing neat clothes and accessories from head to toe. If you're not sure how to clean your shoes, you can read the following articles:

Step 4. Try on a few different types of jewelry
Adding accessories can help you make your appearance look more attractive. When planning your look, try on a few different pieces of jewelry and see how they can change or affect your appearance. Sometimes, adding a flashy necklace or chandelier-type earrings can make a pretty look extraordinary.
However, try not to add too many accessories. For example, if you're planning to wear a large necklace, wear smaller earrings instead of hanging earrings that can make you look big
Step 5. Think about what to focus on when choosing accessories
Jewelry can be eye-catching and this can be good or bad. For example, if you want attention to focus on your face, wear large or hanging earrings. If you want attention to be drawn to the whole look, wear a long necklace that goes well with the whole outfit
However, if you're wearing a low-cut shirt, don't wear a long necklace because the attention will be drawn to the chest
Step 6. Try wearing different types of accessories
Accessories are not just limited to jewelry and shoes. You can make the look even more biting by adding a scarf, colored belt, or a stylish hat. Try to experiment with different types of accessories to suit your style.
Step 7. Create your own 'golden rule'
This 'golden rule' refers to the maximum number of accessories you may wear. These rules are completely tailored to your taste. Some people like to wear several necklaces at once or wear shoes that look unusual. Others like the minimalist, chic style where you only choose one or two accessories to embellish your look.
Remember you can change this golden rule if you feel it doesn't fit your personality anymore. For example, maybe you used to like wearing three necklaces and a bunch of bracelets, but over time, you don't like it anymore and you decide to limit your accessories to just three. Do this to make you feel comfortable and confident
