There’s a fine line between looking elegant and looking overdone. When buying your wardrobe, it’s better to go for quality over quantity. You can simply mix and match them to achieve a different, classy look each time. And no one will know you only got a few items in your closet. Don’t attempt to showcase all your nice pieces all at the same time. Unless you wish to look like you’re sporting blankets.
Go for classic jewelry pieces that can go well with both elegant and casual looks. Small pearl earrings, necklaces with a simple pendant, unfussy bangles, and a plain elegant wristwatch usually would suffice. When putting on accessories, discretion should be considered. If you walk and produce loud jingly sounds, it’s time to remove some items.
Spend some time at the makeup counter and ask for tones that complement your complexion. Less is more, especially when it comes to putting on makeup. Not because you lay it on thick doesn’t mean you already look glamorous. The key is to highlight your best facial features, and not paint on them to make you stand out like a sore thumb.
Shoes with heels are generally elegant looking than flats. It’s okay to have a few durable pairs than having lots of them that don’t really last long. Shoes with neutral colors go well with practically any look you wish to have, from classic to casual. Donning a pair of brown boot is also a great way to make even plain denim pants look fab.
When purchasing handbags, always consider functionality, comfort and stylishness. What’s the use of oversized tote handbags when you don’t need that much space and it makes you appear weighed down? Bags of neutral colors and elegant shapes will never go out of style. Also, try to go for ones that match the shoes you got.
Fashion magazines will give you tons of ideas if you feel lost at times. However, it doesn’t mean you should exactly copy what you see in the pages. Use them to jumpstart the kind of look you can achieve with what you got in your closet. You can make an ‘in’ look your own by adding your personality into it.
Last but definitely not least, always let your confidence shine through. Never be afraid to showcase a pleasing personality when necessary. No matter how simple your getup is, giving off positive vibes will make it look so elegant and timeless. Beauty on the outside is nothing without beauty emanating from the inside.
