A fashion victim is an individual subject to fads and trends without regard to how they look in fashion. Not every trend looks good on every person, and no one can successfully use every trend. In order not to fall victim to fashion, you need to learn to develop your own sense of style, as well as accept that some clothes look good on you and others don't.

Steps

Method 1 of 2: Buying clothes

Find clothes that suit your figure and personal taste.

  1. 1 Buy what you like. Each person has different tastes. If you are not comfortable with the latest fashion trend, do not feel obligated to obey it.
  2. 2 Recognize your body. Every person has flaws. Learn to accept yours so you know how to hide them.
    • Examine your problem areas and find ways to mask them. As a rule, to balance the fat parts of the body, clothes are bought that draw attention to the thinner parts.
    • Avoid clothing that highlights problem areas. A frilly tiered skirt looks good on a skinny girl with a rectangular body type, but will draw unwanted attention to the legs of a woman with a pear-shaped figure with wide hips. In addition, tight leather clothing on a thin woman can look awkward, in contrast to the same clothing on a pear-shaped girl. There are clothes that suit everyone, but not everyone can “take off” a certain style.
  3. 3 Know your size. Take your exact measurements and compare them to the brand or store's size chart.
    • Measure your bust by wrapping a tight tape measure around the widest part.
    • Measure your waist by wrapping a tight tape around the narrowest part. This area, called the "natural belt", is usually found just below the bust.
    • Measure your thighs by wrapping a tight tape measure around the thickest part of your leg.
  4. 4 Determine your budget.
    • Review your monthly finances to determine how much money you can afford to spend on clothing.
    • Stick to a budget. This will help you avoid impulse purchases and focus on the most appropriate clothing.
    • Leave your credit cards and money at home if you feel like you don't have the self-discipline to restrain yourself. Carry only a certain amount of cash with you.

Method 2 of 2: Wearing Clothes Correctly

Shop smartly and choose outfits that look good.


  1. 1 Disassemble your wardrobe.
    • Check your closet for out-of-fashion clothing. If you have room, pack the extra items away in case the fashion comes back.
    • Throw away or redo items that are in poor condition.
  2. 2 Strive for classic trends. Fashion comes and goes, but the classic underpinnings remain. Focus on keeping a good basic kit and only get a few cool fashions at a time.
  3. 3 Check out the designs of classic brands. Choose clothes based on how they look, not who made them. Over-focusing on brand names can quickly get you into the trap of buying clothes that look bad but have a big name.
  4. 4 Try it on before you buy.
    • Try on clothes in a special booth before you buy them. Examine yourself in a full-length mirror until you get a clear idea of ​​how you look.
    • Bring a fashion-savvy friend with you to the shops that you trust. By themselves, people can talk about trifles. Your girlfriend can provide you with an outside perspective.
  5. 5 Keep your style balanced.
    • Try not to wear too many trends at once. Add one trendy piece to a classic outfit.
    • Don't mix bold patterns. For example, don't wear a polka dot blouse with a plaid skirt. Bold patterns work together to create imbalance.
    • If patterns need to be blended, combine a subtle, muted pattern with a bolder one. For example, you can wear a floral blouse with light striped trousers.
  6. 6 Avoid too many accessories. Don't wear too many layers of jewelry. One or two key accessories are enough, such as a wide bold bracelet and a matching pair of pumps.
  7. 7 Wear clothing appropriate for the occasion. Not every trend fits every place and setting.
    • Keep casual items such as sundresses and trendy T-shirts, suitable for both formal meetings and office work.
    • Leave formal style for formal occasions. You can buy a little black dress, but that doesn't mean you have to wear it for a walk to a nearby pharmacy or for a nearby neighbor's occasional barbecue.

Tips

  • Go shopping in one go. Giant shopping can be fun, but many people find it overwhelming. Keep your wardrobe fully stocked and add new items gradually.
  • Wear the right underwear. Choose white or cream shades and wear them under light-colored clothing. Seamless underwear works well if you're wearing thin, grippy fabrics. The most important thing is to choose lingerie that suits your figure.
