Top Fashion Tips To Keep You In Style

By Fitzpatrick Paige


If you're like most people, you don't have a fashion stylist living at your house to pick out your clothes. However, you can still look like a million bucks. This article contains some fashion forward tips to have you look like a star even if you don't have a star's money!

Always keep a little (or not that little) black dress in your closet. A classic black dress is always in season and looks great at formal occasions. There are brand name styles as well inexpensive but elegant varieties. There is no reason to skip buying a black dress to add to your wardrobe.

If you are going to a formal event and aren't quite sure what to wear, you can't fail with a simple black dress. No matter what the decade, a simple, little black dress has always been in style and will never go out. Consider this next time you aren't sure what to wear.

When you are choosing a jacket for a very important upcoming event, you need to make sure that you find the jacket with the right sleeve length. If your coat is too long or too short people will notice. Your shirt cuff should show about half an inch or so. This is a key that you must always keep in mind.

Always check yourself out in bright lights before leaving the house. This is especially important if you are wearing a color like white. Few things are more embarrassing than realizing you have left the house in a top that is sheer in sunlight. Make sure that you aren't wearing anything brightly colored beneath that could show through.

When shopping for vintage clothing, don't make assumptions based on the size on the tag. A size 8 in the 1950s fits differently than a modern size 8, so save yourself some disappointments by always trying items on before buying them. Once you get a feel for how sizes have changed through the decades, you will have a better idea of what to look for.

Pick out clothes that are keeping up with the latest fashion, but make sure that you also pick out clothes that you are going to feel comfortable and confident in. There is no point in picking out clothes that you aren't going to want to wear, because then you aren't going to wear them with confidence.

When purchasing a jacket or coat, you should take note of the number of buttons. The buttons on a coat jacket should never exceed three. Also, a jacket with three buttons should only have the top most button buttoned. This is an easy step to take that will keep you looking fashionable all day long.

Trying to find the right shoes for your outfit can be a challenge. First, make sure your shoes are right for the occasion. If you are wearing a dressy gown, avoid wearing flats. Avoid wearing shoes that exactly match your outfit. Instead, choose one color within your outfit and base your shoe color on that.

To add a touch a bit of "spring" to your wardrobe, go with mint green this season. This soft green looks great on its own or when paired with other colors like neutrals and other subdued hues. You can find it in various shades and in everything from dresses to shoes.

Use the tips in this article to streamline your wardrobe and where what looks best on you. Even if you haven't paid attention before, you'll find out that when you look good, you feel great. Fine tune your fashion sense and you will look fabulous anywhere you happen to go.
