Understandably, when it comes to looks and dress styles we all have our preferences. There is an old saying that goes “ one bad apple can ruin the entire basket of good apples” it could mean many things but in this case of looks, it means that if you have your outfit well planned out but you forget even just one thing, it could ruin your overall look.
So how do you avoid ruining your entire look especially when you are trying leave a good impression?.
Let me have the honor of revealing to you 7 things that can either make or break your look.
1.Role model
A role model is someone you can look up to and learn from when it comes to dressing most of the time we make the mistake of not choosing the correct role model. What do I mean? A good role model must have your body type and must have a dress style you want to copy that is they should know how to match their outfits well which would really help you step up your game when it comes to dressing and looks in general.
A word
Picking the wrong role model would cause you to pick the wrong outfits which may not really bring out your best look.
2. Imagine
You know how most girls spend hours and hours looking for the perfect outfit for the day, if the knew this tip they would save a whole lot of minutes. Using your imagination means creating a mind picture of what you want to wear then, measure it to see if it fits and looks as nice as you imagined it to.
3. Colors
Yes! Colours. They are the number one key to better looks. If it's going to be a happy and sunny day or party then, bright colours will fit best. Especially when you match the bright coloured or multi coloured top with darker shorts, skirts or jeans.
Not only do they make you stand out, they make you seem approachable. If you noticed how the vilains in movies always wear dark colours then you'll get the point.
4. Highlight
When people look at you their eyes naturally go to the bold or most colourful part of your outfit, the lines, or even the belt. Even when you choose your dresses, and your style, use this to your advantage to highlight either your upper or lower body depending on what you like and your body shape.
For example puffy hands on a straight gown will look great on you if you have small shoulders. Vertical lines on your elastic fitting gown makes you look more curvy as it follows your body shape and draws the attention of the eyes.
5. Shoes
Like it or not, some people will find their eyes on you shoes and if they find it dirty or out of place then it wouldn't be a hit on the target. So what do we do, have at least one Black and one White sneaker and keep them as clean as possible because those are the basic colours that match with almost every outfit. As much as possible avoid wearing same colored jeans and shoes such as Black jeans and Black shoes.
A word
If you wear socks in you sneakers (please do) let your socks stay in your shoes. Except if you have a long socks that goes all the way to your knees with shorts and you are going for a football player kind of look.
6. Setting
When I talk of setting here I mean where are you going to, depending on where you are going to and how you are going to be addressed there would speak volumes of how you should look
A word
It is usually said to dress the way you want to be addressed so if you want to be addressed as a professional then maybe you have to look like professional when your done dressing look at yourself in the mirror and ask yourself how would a random person address me?
7. Hair
There is no way a fellow girl would have a conversation with you without mentally taking note or even mentioning your hairstyle or color. That is to show you how important your hair style is to your look.
Styling your hair to match your your overall look thus, cannot be ignored, is just the bomb it’s like the final piece to the puzzle. it completes your look. Therefore, what ever style you choose to do even if it’s just a ponytail, it should be clean and neat don’t allow your hair look like you are having a bad hair day. The best part is you can try various styles to see the one which suits the look best.
A word
If you do braids, don’t allow it to get too old before you undo it. After one or two weeks of having braids, ensure to always do your edges.
8. Posture
No matter how good you look the way you carry your self and the posture you use when sitting could either make or break your look. As an Emperor or empress that you are when you walk you walk with grace one step at a time, one leg in front of the other, you don’t pull you legs or worst of all you don’t slouch either when sitting or walking your back is upright and your head is high.
Dear Emperor/ Empress
Thank you much much for reading
