Whether you want to look diligent and professional, be able to attract the attention of people you like, or just feel good about yourself, you need to know how to look cool at school. Although this may seem challenging, you can actually do it simply and easily. Here's step-by-step instructions to make you look cool in school.
Step
Part 1 of 4: Look Stylish
Step 1. Match the colors of your clothes
Pay attention to the color scheme of the clothes you are wearing. Neutral colors like black, white, tan, and gray can go well with any color. These colors should be the basis of your outfit. Also, as a general rule, primary colors (red, blue, and yellow) as well as complementary colors (orange and blue, green and red, etc.) will always look good when used together. Similar colors, such as indigo and purple, also go well with each other. Mix and match different colors until you get a nice look.
- Make sure you match the color of the shoes to the color of the clothes.
- Blue jeans go well with all colors.
- If you're brave, try a bold monochrome look, such as an all-red outfit.
Step 2. Buy clothes that match your body type
The easiest way to look cool is to wear well-fitting clothes. Your clothes shouldn't be too big or too tight, but they should fit your body type.
- Don't guess. Measure your pants size and keep it in mind.
- Try on clothes before you buy them. The medium size for some brands may be the same as the large size for other brands. If possible, don't buy clothes online so you can be sure of the size.
Step 3. Match the qualities of all the elements in your outfit
If you're wearing a button-down shirt, try pairing it with nice khakis. Avoid using sneakers with classy clothes, choose shoes like black leather loafers. If you want to look more casual, make sure your entire outfit is also casual. All the clothes you wear should match each other. In other words, nothing should be too flashy.
Step 4. Wear the right accessories
Depending on your school's dress code, you can wear necklaces, bracelets, belts, sunglasses, etc. This way, your display will be more creative. If you wear neutral colors, add accessories to give it an extra touch. A light blue necklace or red shoelaces can liven up an otherwise mundane outfit.
- Do not exaggerate. Too many accessories can make you look weird. Wear an accessory or two that match your outfit.
- Do not mix and match accessories wrong. If you're wearing clothes that are predominantly blue, avoid blue accessories.
- You can match the color of the accessories with the colors of your clothes that are not too dominant. A t-shirt with a touch of red looks great when paired with red earrings.
- Accessories are a great way to express yourself. For example, you can wear an quirky shawl or a unique hat for a distinctive look.
Step 5. Keep a simple style of dress
If you wear an orange t-shirt and a green polka dot bottom with two different jackets, you're going to look too much. Better you look a little simple and elegant than complex and too crowded. You can then add an accent to your outfit by wearing trendy shoes, light-colored accessories, or an interesting hairstyle.
On the other hand, if you only wear a t-shirt and jeans every day, your style will soon look boring. Compromise sensibly
Step 6. If you are a woman, wear jeans or leggings with a nice casual blouse/t-shirt
Also wear sundresses and skirts occasionally. Accessories are a must. Pay attention to the interaction of accessories and shoes with the clothes you are wearing. Experiment with accessories until you find the right combination.
- Match the length of the necklace to the length of the neckline on the outfit.
- Short jeans and tank tops are a stylish look for women. However, make sure you adapt it to your school's dress code.
- Layer it up with a jacket and undershirt to add more color and variety to the outfit.
- Sweaters are usually suitable for women.
- Wear light makeup. Makeup is a great way to bring out the natural beauty of your face.
- Make-up should not be too thick (except lipstick).
Step 7. If you are a man, wear a collared shirt like a polo and a casual shirt
Styles are always changing, but collared t-shirts will always suit men. You can pair it with blue jeans and a light jacket. Also wear a good belt and shoes that match so you look cool.
- T-shirts are standard but good attire.
- You can experiment with colors in the summer. You can also wear shorts. Colored and patterned shorts are trendy, especially when they match your outfit.
- When the weather is cooler, wear light jackets, coats, hats, and scarves. Make sure all the elements of this outfit match each other.
- Men will also look cool when wearing a sweater.
Step 8. Vary everything
Don't wear the same clothes every day. Change your style and adapt to the latest fashion trends. Experiment with dressing and create your own style with the general rules in this article!
Part 2 of 4: Caring for Closet Contents
Step 1. Always fold and hang your clothes
Wrinkled clothes will not make you look cool. On the other hand, clothes that are not wrinkled and straight will always make you look cooler. If you take the time to properly store your clothes, you'll soon look cooler.
- Finer clothing such as shirts and blouses should be ironed before wearing.
- Take care of the contents of your wardrobe so that you can choose quickly.
Step 2. Wash clothes regularly
No matter how clean you are, if your clothes stink, you will smell bad too. Don't wear the shirt more than once and wear clothes that don't get dirty.
Use scented detergents to make your clothes smell good naturally
Step 3. Take care of clothes throughout the day
You can bring a lint roller and instant stain remover. Be careful not to spill anything on the white clothes. If you have an exercise schedule or class trip, bring a change of clothes.
Step 4. Always keep your shoes clean
Shoes are not just for use. Shoes are an important part of clothing. You can clean your shoes when they start to get dull. If you can't see the original color anymore, it's time to buy new shoes.
- Be careful not to get the white shoes stained with grass or mud.
- When it rains, wear boots or shoes that can get dirty.
Step 5. If your school has uniforms, make sure your uniforms are in the best possible condition
Take care of uniforms by washing and ironing them regularly. Keep it away from all pets and keep it dry even when it rains.
You'll have a harder time getting creative with a uniform, but you can still stand out by wearing accessories and sporting a unique hairstyle
Part 3 of 4: Have Healthy Hair and Body
Step 1. Wash and care for hair every day
Find the right shampoo and conditioner for you. Wash it every day to keep your hair healthy. Then, comb and brush hair as desired.
Use a hairdryer if your hair is too long
Step 2. Set your hairstyle
Do some hairstyle research and find one that suits your taste and hair type. You don't always have to wear the same hairstyle. Consider the look you want.
- Find a quality hair salon. Ask the stylist for advice and develop your relationship with him. Specific haircuts are better than general ones.
- Hair ties and braids are women's best friends. You certainly don't have enough time to style your hair every day. Curl your hair or style it in a ponytail for easy styling.
- Short haircuts are the safest option for men. If you want to grow them, make sure you comb and divide them properly.
Step 3. Exercise
Do it three or four times a week. If you're not a member of a sports club, take time to get physically active. This way, your body type will stay healthy.
- You don't have to go to the gym all the time to stay healthy. You can ride a bike, try yoga, or play basketball with friends.
- Don't worry about your body type. A healthy lifestyle and regular physical activity will give you the results you want.
Step 4. Use lotion to maintain healthy skin
Know your skin type. If it's oily, use an oil-free moisturizer. If it's dry, use a moisturizer rich in essential oils to keep your skin feeling refreshed. Taking care of your skin can have a huge impact on how you look.
Part 4 of 4: Maintaining Personal Hygiene
Step 1. Take a shower every day
Get up early and take a shower. Wash hair thoroughly and clean all parts of the body with soap. If you have thick facial hair or leg hair, shave in the shower.
- If you have long hair, you should also style it.
- You can take a shower at night before going to bed.
Step 2. Wash your face to keep your skin healthy
After bathing under a hot shower, your pores will open. This is the perfect time to wash your face. Use a mild facial soap to clean the skin. Then, dry your face with a soft towel.
If you have acne, make sure your face wash can combat acne and oil
Step 3. Brush your teeth at least twice a day
White teeth and fresh breath are the main keys to cleanliness. Make sure you brush your teeth for at least two minutes and rinse your mouth once a day.
- Bring breath mints to eat during school hours.
- Mouthwash can also help.
Step 4. Use deodorant or perfume
You not only have to look clean, you also have to smell good. Before going to school, apply the deodorant or perfume of your choice.
- Don't overdo it or your scent will be too strong.
- If you tend to sweat easily, make sure your deodorant is an antiperspirant.
