Part 1 of 3: Finding the Right Clothes
Step 1. Wear clothes that fit your body shape
The first thing to do to look good in style is to make sure the clothes you wear suit your body type. A good style should be careful, you need clothes that really fit your body to look elegant, look luxurious with your clothes. You want clothes that make you look slimmer and taller, with everything that fits your size.
Step 2. Use the classic style
A good style is mostly based on a classic look. Dressing in trend only shows that you think too much about the outfit and that you have been following the fashion news like a stockbroker. Choose a classic style with a classic cut for a better look.
For example, women should be careful about wearing long casual dresses to disguise knee length, while men should avoid wearing pants that are too tight to make them look looser
Step 3. Choose clothing in muted colors, neutral colors and bold accents
Consider wearing clothes in popular colors and really scary (too flashy) colors because clothes in those colors need to be worn at the right time. Just look at your Mom's clothes from the 1970s, for example. In order to appear in good style, you should better match clothes with muted colors and neutral colors.
- Examples of silencer colors are brown, black, white, denim / navy blue, and gray.
- Nice color accents like lots of red, lots of blue, plum/purple, golden yellow (like ducks or tulips), and emerald green.
- Be careful with certain colors. Watch out for other yellows and greens, and usually avoid orange, these are colors that are prone to slipping in and out of the fashion world.
Step 4. Avoid crumpled prints and textures
Crumpled prints and textures (such as fluffy, fluffy, downy fabrics) can quickly make clothes look untidy and unstylish, which tend to stay in fashion for a season or a year at most. Next year will be another pattern, so why bother? Stay stylish by keeping your clothes in style for decades, not months.
Step 5. Buy using strategy
In order to look very stylish, you want your clothes to look luxurious. Now, you can make cheap clothes look expensive but buying some really expensive stuff might not be a bad idea. Some luxury items that are not easy to fake, such as a nice sweater and a wool coat can make your collection. Having some nicer stuff is better than having a lot of really cheap stuff.
Step 6. Create an exchangeable collection
If you really want to use simplicity as your style, you will need clothes where almost every piece of clothing matches the other. This will allow you to dress based on comfort, style references, or weather conditions, rather than being limited by color or style combinations.
Go with one style of clothing (manufactured, modern, etc.) and use a single color palette (it will help if you follow our advice to use color absorbers with limited bold accents)
Step 7. Take care of your clothes
Look stylish means your clothes must be well maintained. No stains, no holes, no loose threads, no creases. If you want your clothes to look neat, then the best thing to do is to take good care of them. Keep your clothes clean, fold and store them properly, and perform other basic care as listed above.
Step 8. Adjust the clothes by sewing them
What you may not realize about models and famous people one of the reasons why they look so stylish is because their clothes match their bodies perfectly. And how do you get clothes that fit you perfectly? Of course, by sewing it yourself. Find a tailor you can rely on in your neighborhood to customize your clothes to fit your body. Even some shops can do it for you.
- It's not as expensive as it sounds. Sewing clothes usually costs around 10o to 200 thousand rupiah at least, and pants around 30 thousand rupiah.
- This may seem like a wasted extra expense, but by sewing good clothes and taking good care of them you will look great for the next ten years. This is like an investment.
Part 2 of 3: Shaping Your Outfit
Step 1. Keep it simple
Good style is all about you looking effortless, so keep your outfits simple. Use some clothes and some accessories. This is especially important when adding accessories.
For example, don't wear a scarf or bracelet and big earrings and a hat. Try to limit yourself by using two visible accessories/accents
Step 2. Choose clothes that suit the occasion
You want to wear something stylish but don't overdo it for the occasion. Too much in dressing indicates that you are thinking too much and how much effort you put into dressing. Don't wear fancy clothes for shopping, and don't wear long dresses when you're going to a cocktail party, for example.
Step 3. Emphasize accessories
When you wear muted, neutral colors, you should use accessories to add your accent. This will attract attention and look cooler. It's easy to get accessories that match the latest fashions and trends.
- For example, you could pair a floppy hat and patterned scarf with a brown jacket, blue t-shirt, white skinny jeans, and brown boots.
- Another example you can wear black clothes and pair it with red beads and bracelets.
- Make sure you keep a color palette throughout your outfit. Accent colors of accessories are usually the same or balanced with each other.
Step 4. Don't neglect the hair
You want your hair to look stylish too. Keep your hair well styled or carefully made to look “tangled”, but make sure that you create the look. Your hair will look great, even if it doesn't look like you spent an hour doing it.
Avoid products to make hair more natural that is associated with a good style. Which means no hair gel or oil
Step 5. Use minimal makeup
Women should avoid clearly visible make-up. Keep the colors natural, and do what you can to make it look like you're not wearing any makeup at all. Of course, you want it, prioritize your strengths and hide certain weaknesses but don't overdo it.
Lips are the exception area, this can be a great way to add a little extra sensation to an outfit by using a bright color, like a classic red
Step 6. Minimize lines and textures
Mixing patterns well is very difficult and will make you appear more chaotic and less elegant. It's okay to have one item in your wardrobe that has a line or texture, but limit it to just one item.
Step 7. Avoid being bulky
Keep the look to a minimum and avoid bulky clothes or other clothes that are too bulky. This will make you appear fatter and less slim and less stylish. Oversized sweaters have their time and place, but they tend to go out of fashion to some degree, so be careful.
Part 3 of 3: Presenting Yourself
Step 1. Don't ignore the scent
While this may not be visually obvious, scents can make a big difference in how people perceive you. Scent by keeping yourself and your clothes clean, but also consider wearing perfume or cologne in the style you're wearing. Avoid youthful scents like fruity scents to help look more mature for a classy touch.
Step 2. Have your own style
Keep the theme of your outfit so that it gives you a personality. it looks like people will blend in with you and will make you look more stylish, even if they don't really like your clothes.
Step 3. Customize your appearance
The appearance you create for yourself generally has to match your personality. For example, a very beautiful woman appearing too sharp will seem strange and inappropriate, much like dressing like a businessman wearing a sloppy style. Sew your clothes according to your personality and people will see it more as your style.
Step 4. Confidence
Have you ever felt like some model wearing a brown paper bag and still walking down the catwalk looking like the pinnacle of fashion? Do you know a guy who wears tracksuits and somehow still looks super fashionable? What the fashion industry doesn't want you to know is that looking stylish comes down to the projection of self-confidence. Of course you don't have to be completely confident, but if you're walking down the street in clothes that you think really make you look good, people are usually more likely to agree that (at least) the outfit is perfect for you.
Step 5. Act like you don't care
The easy part of looking stylish is of course having to present it by giving the impression that you don't care, or that you just need to wear the first outfit you can find. Be humble or indifferent when people compliment your clothes.
Step 6. Walk gracefully
To look stylish, you also want to look elegant and coordinated. Which means it doesn't fall off when you're wearing heels. Being elegant will be easier for men, but it's still important so don't neglect it.
Step 7. Try to always look comfortable, even if you're not
Even if you are wearing shoes that are 10 centimeters high, you should look very natural and very comfortable. Don't complain and constantly adjust your outfit, if that style doesn't work for you, if you can't look relaxed in this then try something more comfortable. You will feel comfortable and stylish.
Step 8. Just relax
Again, good style is all about looking awesome while also looking like you didn't try it at all. Easy, right? So just relax. Take it easy on everything in life. Stay calm and happy, and you'll look better, no matter what you're wearing.
Suggestion
- Read the fashion sections of various magazines, such as Cosmopolitan and Glamor for women, and GQ for men. Pay attention to the suggestions column; Pay attention to what you like and don't like.
- You don't have to have clothes from all the new designers or famous designers. Look for simpler pieces from inexpensive stores, such as simple t-shirts and women's shirts, and then dress them with accessories and/or jackets.
- Don't let clothes wear you. It is your personality that should shine, not the personality of your clothes!
- Make it with what you have; try to mix and match old clothes, or redesign and old jeans
- This one comes from a woman like you: it might be a shame, but thrift stores are a must. Aero, Hollister, and Abercrombie are the same, and everyone wears them. Especially wealthy people, thrift stores can be really useful.
- When you feel you need to update your wardrobe a bit, take a look at your clothes and try to find a way to wear something you already own that is different instead of going shopping right away.
- Remember, following trends doesn't always make you stylish. The right style depends on how you pick and choose – you should wear what you think flatters you and fits your personality.
- When you wear necklaces and/or accessories, wear colors that match your outfit!
- Don't just go to Hollister and Abercrombie, because other people do. They are not the most original, and therefore don't always look easy.
- Go to the cheap stuff! You will be surprised at what you find! Just because they're cheaper, doesn't mean they can't be used anymore! Also check delivery shops and garage sales. You'll find lots of cute, quirky ones from their original prices!
