If you have been reading my posts you can tell by now I absolutely LOVE fashion and styling those who have no fashion sense. So many of us are confined to a particular wardrobe because of our working environment. I have come across many women who don't have any FUN clothes because we are forced to wear clothes within a particular guideline. What I would like to share with you is that there are ways to be within a dress code and still feel pretty, handsome, and sexy. Depending on what profession you are in these rules will vary.
1. Analyze the dress code thoroughly. A lot of basic dress codes state specifics on what to wear such as crops, pants, or sleeve length. You will also find direction on colors, hair or nail care. Amongst these, look at the basics in your wardrobe. A professional should always have black, navy, white, brown, khaki, and olive green. With these basic ground neutrals, you can go forward with your business attire but add some creative personality to your day.
2. Look at color. How can you brighten up your wardrobe with color?! Yes, we all want the seasons most fashionable colors but also take some risks. Try mustard yellow with orange and brown. Red and green with navy. Pinks, sky blue, and yellow with all neutrals. Try black and brown.
3. Stay fitted! What this means is buy clothes that fit! So many people are so afraid to go up a size to get what fits. To me that is ridiculous. I have seen women go down a size and then they buy it with no hesitation. Its a mind game. Each retailer makes their clothing different. So in one store you may be a smaller size and then in the next store you may go up a size. Whatever size you are keep yourself positive by wearing what makes you happy and that fits!
4. Tailored vs. Relaxed Fitting-it's a big difference between the two. Tailored clothes show your curves, legs, and hips. While these assets aren't needed in your profession however it makes your womanhood or manhood come to life! The way you dress can be inspiring to others. Some may ask you for your opinion about their look or maybe they want you to dress them for future occasions.
A relaxed fit allows for more movement. There are a lot of women who can pull this look off with slim bottoms and fun artistic shoes. Some who opt to wear flowey tops are those who are trying to hide something. This concept can work against you so you really have to be careful. If you opt for a flowey top be sure that the top has some structure elsewhere being that its fitted at the bust line but flows outward. Maybe the neck line is beautiful. The garment could be flowey over the tummy area but very straight elsewhere. As a women who just want to be sure you look appealing and as a man you want to be sure your look is sharp!
5. Crisp white shirt. It's essential more than you know. A crisp white shirt can be put together with any pant or skirt. It's a serious look without wearing so much black and navy. When you find this crisp white shirt be sure to buy at least 3. If you do not care for them properly the material can become too soft and will lose its substance/stiffness.
6. Utilize your hair stylist to create a fashion forward look for your profession. Plan to change this style once a quarter to keep some interest in peers as well as yourself.
7. Go to a beauty class. Ladies! This will amaze you! You will be amazed at what you learn about your coloration, techniques on makeup application, and much more! How fun will this be in order to add some creativity to your makeup !
8. Accessorize to your fullest potential! Okay, so every gal wants diamond earrings, they are so classic! If you like a classic look but need to stay within a particular price range then purchase some good ole Cubic Zirconia's! They are just as good! But who says you have to stop there! Some of us like wild and fun jewelry ! Find a few accessory stores such as Francesca's where you can get an array of funky jewelry. You will always find great pieces you love but there is nothing like shopping in a boutique setting.
9. Be inventive! It's not hard to come up with ways to wear particular items. Just practice! Have a few cocktails with your ladies and go shopping. Try on clothes and your friends wardrobe you! Find ways to be fun and flirty! Maybe you buy nice underwear that makes you feel great! It's important for the undergarments to be sexy and fun too!
10. Nails. Nowadays it's the coolest thing to wear green nail polish! Hey, I never had that problem, but so many of you did. Don't get so stuck on yourself to the point you don't enjoy or express your creative side! Pamper yourself with a mani and pedi then get your technician to put designs on your nails. Remember it used to not be okay with your natural nails but its he healthiest choice!
Try colors that you would not normally get!
