Little Details That Make A Big Difference In Your Style
When it comes to looking effortlessly chic, it’s not always about the flashy pieces or the latest trends (although they can sometimes help - it’s your choice). Sometimes, it’s the little details that make the biggest difference in your style - we mean those little touches that are subtle but that elevate your outfit from fine to amazing.
It could be anything from a classic accessory to a simple tweak in your wardrobe, or even how you carry yourself, but whatever it is, those small changes can have a huge impact. With that in mind, here are some ideas you can get started with, and they really are very simple - keep reading to find out more.
Layering Jewelry
Accessories are a really important part of any outfit, and jewelry is especially important - it can completely transform your whole look. If you’re not sure where to start (and it can definitely be very confusing), you can’t really go wrong with gold necklaces because they’re just so classic and timeless, not to mention they’re incredibly versatile - they can be worn with just about anything and they’ll always look fantastic and add a touch of elegance to your outfit, whatever it happens to be.
One good idea to make things a bit different is to try mixing different lengths to create a layered result that gives your neckline a bit more dimensions and interest - you could have a shorter, dainty type of chain and pair that with a big pendant necklace that’s a lot longer, and you’ll have a fantastic look that’s sophisticated but not over the top (which is exactly what you should always be aiming for).
Fit Is Crucial
If you’ve ever been in a situation where you buy a stunning dress or an amazon pair of jeans (and those things are few and far between!), but when you put them on, they’re just not as great as you thought, you’re really not alone. But that doesn’t mean it has to keep happening, and it’s always down to the fit, not the clothing itself. The fact is that no matter how stylish a piece of clothing might be, if it doesn’t fit right, it’s not going to look right.
The trick is to really know your body and always try to choose clothes that are going to flatter your shape rather than cover it up or accentuate the bits you don’t want people to see. Sometimes that might mean finding a great piece of clothing and then finding a tailor to get the fit right, but if the item itself is good quality, it’s well worth that extra investment to make it right.
Don’t Forget The Shoes
You can have the best outfit ever, but if your shoes aren’t right, the whole look can go wrong and you won’t be happy with it - in other words, don’t underestimate the power of a good pair of shoes!
And when we say shoes, that means all kinds, from heels to pumps to trainers to ankle boots and all the rest - there’s going to be something that works for every outfit, and it’s just a question of working out how to match those shoes not just to the outfit but also to the occasion and make sure everything complements everything else. And of course, the shoes you pick have to be comfortable, otherwise you’ll still dislike the outfit even if it’s something that looks better than anything you’ve ever worn before! The fit of your shoes is going to be personal to you, and different to everyone else, and that means you’re going to have to work on these things and experiment a bit. However, the one thing we can state as a good rule of thumb to follow is never to wear shoes for the first time out on an important or special event. You’ve got to break them in first, otherwise you’re really taking a gamble and it might not work out.
Roll Your Sleeves Up
Remember that we’re talking about the little things in this post, and one really little things you can do that makes a big difference in your style is to literally roll up your sleeves - it’s an easy, subtle, and free way to change your outfit, and those things added together create something very positive. Clothing can go from formal to casual with just a couple of rolls on your sleeves, so you can wear the same blouse, shirt, blazer, or jacket to all kinds of different events and for all kinds of different occasions. That means you can invest more in individual pieces because you’ll get more wear out of them, so that’s a bonus too.
Plus, doing this draws attention to your wrists, so you can add some jewelry or a nice watch to make the most of the opportunity and add even more interest to your outfit.
