To step

Part 1 of 3: Trying out cool looks

  1. Go for a casual yet feminine look. Most girls don't get up every day to take two hours to get dressed. There are plenty of options for those casual days when you want to be comfortable but still fresh and tidy. Now is the time to show off your layering skills and try some of the trendy accessories you have in the back of your closet.
    • A great basic look to wear every day is a cleaner version of your classic jeans and a T-shirt. Put on a dark skinny, a well-made top and a leather jacket or blazer. Add wedges, bracelets and dangling earrings. If it's a windy day, emphasize the whole thing with a scarf.
    • On a cold day, try the New York girl outfit. Let your hair hang down or curl it, put on a stylish tailored jacket and wear a skirt with brown or black boots.
  2. Be girly and cute. On the days when you just want to be as girly as possible, only pastel clothes and glittery accessories will do. Choose a dress or top in pastel shades and accentuate it with a pair of glittery low shoes. Just remember not to overdo it by wearing all the cute accessories you have at the same time. Pick a few things that make you look feminine but not too childish.
    • Try a dress with a simple floral print or in pastel or bright colors that hits just above the knee. Wear it with low shoes and a sun hat.
    • Wearing hair accessories is a really good way to add a little girlishness to your look. Try a hairpin in the shape of a bow or a headband with a floral accent on top.
  3. Look modern and elegant. If your style is sleek and urban, look for muted colors that give you a streamlined look. Look for comfortable fabrics in an interesting cut and pair your clothes with sunglasses and simple, modest accessories. This style is perfect for the office or just walking around town with your friends.
    • You can't go wrong with a little black dress, riding boots and a wool cardigan on a cold day when you need to look elegant. A tunic over leggings is another really good look that is elegant but comfortable at the same time.
    • In the summer, try on maxi dresses and skirts with Wayfarer-style sunglasses and large hoop earrings.
  4. Get yourself dressed up for a decent occasion. Girls have more options than boys when it comes to dressing up for a big occasion like a wedding or a cocktail party. Now is the time to grab that sequin dress you've always wanted to wear, spend some extra time on your hair and makeup, and wear your most elegant accessories. Go for a look that is dazzling, but also suitable for the occasion you are attending.
    • For special occasions, consider getting your hair done at the hairdresser. A classic updo is a nice accent at a wedding. In the summer you can choose to decorate your hair with a flower as well.
    • For accessories for a special occasion, choose your best jewelry and make sure it matches. For example, you can wear diamond stud earrings and a diamond necklace.

Part 2 of 3: Developing style

  1. Build a stylish wardrobe. There's no one way to dress like a girl - it's all about finding the style that works best for you. Experiment with different cuts, colors and combinations and start choosing clothes that make you feel good and comfortable at the same time. If you need inspiration, look in fashion magazines and read style blogs. Decide which outfits appeal to you and try to copy them with your own wardrobe.
    • Start with a good set of basic pieces. Fill your closet with dresses, skirts, pants and tops that you know you love to wear. Every piece you buy must fit at least three pieces in your closet.
    • Make sure your clothes fit properly. Buy clothes in your size, instead of ambitiously buying a size down or bagging clothes to hide something. You look best when your clothes match your figure. And don't be afraid to buy clothes that show off your body, like a nice crop top or tight jeans.
    • When thinking about what to wear, try to pick one piece of clothing as inspiration and move on from there. For example, you have a nice pencil skirt and you don't know what to do with it. Add a cotton T-shirt and a set of pearls and you have the perfect outfit for lunch. Replace the T-shirt with a silk blouse and blazer and you are ready for a business appointment. Work with your favorite pieces in your closet to put together stunning outfits.
    • Wear outfits that make you feel confident. Look in the mirror and think about the occasion. What is the best outfit to show confidence on this occasion?
  2. Learn to use layering. Layering is one way to look chic and sophisticated every time you get dressed. You can combine different pieces from your wardrobe and create endless new outfits with just a few pieces of clothing. Layers make an outfit more interesting and deeper, so that it does not become boring. Try these layering techniques to dress up your basic outfits more:
    • Wear a jacket or blazer over a T-shirt or blouse with jeans, or wear it over a dress.
    • Wear a sleeveless cardigan over a long sleeve or over a blouse with cap sleeves.
    • Layer a mini skirt over tights or leggings.
    • Wear a button-down blouse over a sleeveless shirt or T-shirt. Roll up the sleeves and put a button in the front.
  3. Mix colors and prints. When choosing colors to wear, you need to look beyond what you learned as a child about what goes together. Sure, a red dress and red heels seem to match, but it's an easy match. Dare a little more and choose colors that enhance each other and make your outfit interesting instead of faded.
    • Wear colors that are opposite each other on the color wheel. For example, try wearing orange and blue together, or purple and yellow. These additional colors will make your outfit stand out.
    • Wear colors that are fashionable that season. Every season a new color palette comes in the shops. If you're not sure what they are, go to town and see what the new colors are for this season's clothes and what colors are paired together. Include a few trendy colors in your wardrobe.
    • Mix prints with similar colors. For example, you can wear a top with lavender stripes with a skirt with a floral pattern that includes lavender in it. Use a print to enhance the colors in another print.
    • Go single color if you dare. An all-black or all-red outfit is daring. If you do this, you should wear skin-colored accessories, such as camel shoes or nude lipstick.
  4. Choose the right shoes. The shoes you wear can make or break your outfit, so take some time to choose the right pair. A girl cannot go wrong with heels as an addition to a dress or as an extra style with a casual outfit such as jeans and T-shirt. But just because you want to dress girly doesn't mean you have to wear heels! Try wedges or stylish low shoes that go with almost any outfit.
    • Wear shoes that match the season, such as closed-toe suede pumps for winter and open-toe canvas wedges for summer. Nice wedges go with any outfit, especially with a denim or floral print or with a solid black or white color.
    • If you prefer a casual look, wear nice white tennis shoes with shorts, a skirt or even a dress.
    • Don't sacrifice comfort for style. Practice walking in new shoes, especially heels, before going out with them. If you can't walk in those 4-inch heels, don't wear them! You don't look stylish when you fall.
  5. Add chic accessories. Choosing the right accessories gives every outfit an important feminine touch. Once you know what you're going to wear, figure out how to make it even more stylish with a few perfect accessories, such as brilliant earrings or a thin belt around your waist. It's an opportunity to show your personality and have fun. Knowing a few basic rules about accessories will help keep you looking your best:
    • Don't wear too many at once. Choose a few beautiful accessories that really enhance your outfit instead of making it look too messy. If you're wearing a plain top, try some bold earrings, a big statement necklace or bright bracelets. Don't wear all three at once!
    • Wear accessories that accentuate a color in your outfit. For example, if your dress has bits of red in the pattern, wear red earrings or a red bracelet.
    • Use accessories to add character to a plain outfit. You can dress up a plain blouse with an interesting scarf, some loose necklaces and a large bracelet.
    • A belt around the waist has a slimming effect that makes even the thinnest girls seem curvy.
    • Spend your money on classic accessories that are always in fashion, such as pure silver earrings. More trendy accessories such as cat eye glasses or wide belts should only be bought at discounted prices, because they could be out of fashion again the next season.
    • Nail polish, tattoos, an umbrella, glasses, bags and other things can all be unexpected accessories.

Part 3 of 3: Getting Dressed Up

  1. Prep your skin. You will feel better in your clothes and more dressed up if you take the time to keep your skin looking clean and fresh. Wash your face immediately in the morning with the right cleanser for your skin type, oily or dry. A few times a week, do a deep cleanse that gives your face a healthy glow, an essential part of how a dressy girl looks. Here's what you can try:
    • Exfoliate your skin. Use a mild exfoliating cleanser on your face. You can also use a body scrub on your arms and legs.
    • Use a facial mask to give your face a healthy glow before even putting on your makeup. Masks draw oil from the skin and tighten pores.
    • Hydrate your skin. Use a moisturizing cream on your face and spread lotion on the rest of your body to keep your skin smooth.
  2. See if you want to shave or remove your body hair. There is no rule that says girls should remove their body hair. Some girls do and some girls don't; you can dress like a girl in either case. Removing hair makes legs, armpits and other body parts look smooth, but it takes time and is not always pleasant to do. Here are some things to keep in mind:
    • Many girls shave their legs, armpits and other areas with a razor blade. Doing it a few times a week will help you keep up better than doing it occasionally and allow your hair to grow back all the way.
    • You can remove hair from your face by plucking it with tweezers, shaving, or bleaching it so that it is less dark.
    • There are other options besides shaving, such as waxing or electrolysis.
  3. Put on makeup. While many girls look natural and prefer bare skin, experimenting with makeup can be a fun part of dressing like a girl. Choose from a rainbow of clothes to accentuate your eyes, emphasize your cheekbones and sculpt your lips. It doesn't matter which outfit you put on, you will immediately look dressed up with make-up on.
    • Start with foundation that matches your skin tone. You can use that to get rid of stains and create a smooth appearance.
    • Make your eyes pop with eyeliner, mascara and eyeshadow. If the color of your eyes is a very electric blue or chocolate brown, try to make that color pop with the right blush shades. For blue eyes, try a shade of blue with gray and some blue on your waterline. For brown eyes, try a warm smokey eye.
    • Brighten your cheeks and lips with blush and lipstick that don't clash.
    • For a subtle and natural look, keep your make-up modest without eyeliner and wear a skin-colored lipstick in a sophisticated shade.
    • If your skin is a bit dull, try some illuminator under the eyes to make it look less matte.
    • If you don't know how to apply makeup, go to the makeup counter in a store and have an employee there explain it. He will discuss with you your skin type and tone, but also how to give yourself a look for daytime, evening, extreme moments, or "no makeup", and the service is free.
  4. Smell great. If you want to smell good wherever you go, like many girls want, pick a few perfumes or one signature scent to put on when you want to dress up. Dab it behind your ears, on your neck, and on your wrists so that it floats slightly behind you when you go about your daily routine, adding a little flair to your outfit. Just be careful not to overuse it, as perfumes can be overpowering.
    • Don't wear too many different scents at the same time. If you have a strong smelling deodorant, lotion and perfume all at once, you may not smell as good as you think.
    • Perfume can be very expensive, so try making your own by mixing a few essential oils like rose, lily or cedarwood with water. Pour it into a spray bottle and you have your own eau de toilette.
  5. Do your hair. Whether your hair is long or short, curly or straight, spend some time styling it if you want to dress up. Use products that match your hair texture and make it appear healthy and shiny. You can try a unique style or just comb it, put in a few curls and set the style with some hairspray. If you want to try something a bit more upscale, consider the following:
    • Braiding hair. Try a herringbone braid or braid if you want a fun hairstyle to wear to a special occasion.
    • Straighten or curl it, whatever you like.
    • Use barrettes, headbands, hair clips or bows or make your hair more colorful and interesting.
    • Extensions and wigs are fun to try if you want your hair to be completely different from your natural hair.
  6. Choose underwear to wear with your outfit. When you dress up, what you wear under your clothes can make your outfit look more unified. Comfort is important, but you should also choose underwear that emphasizes your figure and is invisible under your clothes. For example, if you wear a strapless dress, you also need a bra without straps. Here are a few things to keep in mind:
    • Wear a bra that fits well and will also help make your clothes look better. For example, if you want to wear a nice fitted T-shirt, choose a bra made of smooth material so that the seams are not visible through the fabric of the T-shirt.
    • Wear underwear in a color that you cannot see through your clothes. For example, if you wear a white skirt, choose skin-colored underpants.
    • Other undergarments can also enhance an outfit. Consider wearing tights, shapewear, chic lingerie, or something else if you want to feel more dressy.

Tips

  • Don't use too much make-up or you'll look tacky. Try to wear natural makeup.
  • Remember to be natural. Stop following other people and create your own fashion!
  • Very good natural colors that go well with almost any other color are black, gray, white and cream.
