How You Look Matters! 

Here, I’ll discuss 3 easy ways you can look your best. First, you have to answer these simple questions as they’re utterly important. Do you know your body type? Have you found your distinctive style? Knowing your body type definitely helps you to choose the perfect clothes for your body. Let’s dive into these 3 easy points then. Shall we?

1. KNOW YOUR BODY TYPE

You can elevate your look by first knowing your body type. My body type is between pear and triangle. What it yours? A 2004 study shows the female bodies have historically been described in categories based on shapes such as rectangle, triangle or “pear”, inverted triangle or “apple” and hourglass just to name a few. 

Have you ever purchased any items such as a top or skirt and after trying it on at home you thought to yourself, what the heck was I thinking? 😂 😂 😂

knowing this information is a game changer as it will eliminate overspending on items that wouldn’t necessarily work in your favour. I advise you to find out what shape you are if you haven’t already done so. Everything and I mean everything ain’t for every body (that include clothes, shoes, accessories and etc) so put in the work required to owning your unique style. 

2. FIND YOUR STYLE

You can elevate your look by acknowledging what type of style in clothing is figure flattering on your body. Knowing this information will unquestionably elevate your fashion sense in choosing the right pieces for your wardrobe.

For example, I have a wider hip so I find a-line dresses or skirts and wrap skirts to be my go to style. To me, they’re  very flattering to my figure. I can sometimes get away with fitted dresses and skirts too but it depends on the cut/style. I also like tops with big sleeves/dramatic tops in general because they create the perfect proportion for my body and also takes away the attention from my hip. 

3. FIND THE RIGHT ACCESSORIES

Lastly, elevate your look via your accessory/accessories. Accessories can either make or break ones entire look from being super chic to just plain trash. Always……. always choose the right accessories to an outfit. Invest in pieces that are of quality but yet within your set budget. For instance, I tend to go with gold tone accessories when I wear white tops because I believe it makes the white stand out more. There’s a saying “your hair is your best accessory” and so I always consider how I wear my hair to match that particular look I have in mind. For example, as a petite woman, I try to pull my hair up or away from my face when I wear turtleneck sweaters during fall/winter season. In doing this makes me look a bit slimmer from the forehead down to my neck.  
Lastly, keep in mind the type of shoes and bags you pair with your outfits.  I prefer mid-heel or high heeled shoes than flats due to my height and frame. I think they elongates me to appear a bit taller than I am.  My choice in heels is mainly pointy toe heels. This to me, makes any outfit look more classy and sleek. I also love, love structured bags. They’re just simply classic and timeless. Keep in mind of these 3 points whenever you’re shopping for unique pieces to elevate your looks.  This my friends will save you tons of money and headaches 🙌 The first thing people see is how you look before you speak so make it count always!
