"Being well dressed hasn't much to do with having good clothes. It's a question of good balance and good common sense." - Oscar de la Renta. Fashion isn’t about good clothes from luxury brands, they can be a window of expression. You can tell a person by the way they dress, and know their attitude and mindset through a fabric, however, with the many trends that come every season, one feels lost on what to wear, always feeling that they are out of touch and not riding the fashion wave. Some attempt to sacrifice their fashion tastes for trends and it doesn’t always fit them, a mistake that’s too common for everyone. So how to avoid it? How can a person be trendy without losing their sense of style or authenticity?
Here’s a helpful guide that guarantees you have both style and trend appeal.
Choose Elements That Resonate With Your Style
While each season brings different trends, not all of them can fit your style, body, and skin tone. Choose the trend you feel comfortable with. Fashion is not all serious and glamorous, it’s fun, zany, and personal.
Don’t be Afraid to Accessorize
An accessory can turn a plain outfit into a head-turner. Whether you like silver, gold, beads, you name it, choose the accessories you feel are suitable for your character. For instance, wear bulky belts, spikey chokers, and bold rings if you’re feeling edgy and untouchable, and unleash your coquette energy through pastels. Always prioritize that accessories aren’t just complementary pieces, they can be essentials to your outfit.
Invest in Timeless Pieces
Keeping up with trends is fun but also some things will never go out of style, like a tailored blazer, black dresses, and high-quality denim jeans. Know all the timeless pieces that you can see yourself fitting to who you are and buy one item every once in a while.
Find a Good Tailor
Finding a good tailor is like men finding a good barber, essential to your life and comes with an unbreakable bond. You might ask why would i need a tailor if I keep up with trends and buy things. Because you might have an old piece, but with few alterations, can come back to be new and trendy.
Investing in a good tailor can be more money and time saver, for they know how to revive old items, and will understand your likes and dislikes, in addition to tailoring the clothes to fit your body.
Create A Style Board
Having a style board with all of your favorite pieces, your fashion icons, and inspo will give you a clear vision of what you like, want, and how to achieve it. Follow fashion magazines, influencers you feel close to your style and based on these, create your style board.
