Steps

Part 1 of 3: Embrace fashionable style

  1. 1 Learn the basics of fashion. Perhaps you have no idea what it means to be fashionable. If you have no idea about style, you should spend some time researching this question. Check with your friends and think about your personality.
    • If you're unfamiliar with the world of fashion, reading reviews of the latest trends may not be a good idea. Specific language and terminology can only confuse you. Instead of reading, ask a fashion-savvy friend or friend to go shopping with you. Let this person help you choose outfits that flatter your figure.
    • Sense of style starts with your personality. Ideally, your choices should reflect your personality. Try to make a list of personality traits and interests that you would like to reflect in your wardrobe.
    • Try to pay attention to the design of the clothes you try on and buy in stores. Who is the designer? What is his reputation in the fashion world? Why did he sew the pocket to his coat or jeans this way? Why did he use two types of fabric instead of one? Try doing some research when you get home from the store. Search for a designer on Google and learn about his creative and professional goals.
  2. 2 Pay attention to trendy websites and blogs. If you want to get more trendy, reading fashion bloggers is a great way to keep up with the latest trends. Sites like these can inspire you and give you ideas on how to become more fashionable.
    • Bookmark at least three websites or blogs. Check them out a couple of times a week and stay up to date with fashion and style news.
    • Instagram is another good source of such information. Follow Instagram bloggers whose taste you admire. You can also try searching on hashtags such as #ootd (outfit of the day) for some new inspiration.
  3. 3 Create a wardrobe staple. Fashion comes and goes, but some things are always in trend. Start with basic items and pair them with various accessories and other garments. For example, a simple white T-shirt is essential for both men and women. Pair it with jeans or trousers for a classic, minimal look.
    • If you are a woman, know that the little black dress is a timeless classic. Choose a basic black dress that flatter your figure. A black knee-length skirt won't go out of style either.
    • A black blazer, black trousers, dark jeans and a white button-down shirt will always be in vogue for both men and women. You can combine them with various garments and create new outfits.
    • A beige trench coat will be an excellent choice for autumn and winter for men and women. Cardigans are also great for colder months. Try to have two cardigans, a black and a white, to pair with different clothes.
    • When it comes to accessories, black pumps and a black leather bag are great choices for women. They will never go out of style and go with a wide variety of outfits.
    • Pear-shaped earrings and diamond stud earrings are traditional jewelry and tend to go with most outfits.
  4. 4 Choose the style that suits you. Fashion is multifaceted. At every moment of time, there are several different styles in fashion, different types of things, and so on. Choose an outfit according to your personal taste, in which you will feel comfortable.
    • It is important to follow fashion while remaining yourself. If you are striving for minimalism, choose appropriate clothing. If you prefer vibrant colors and patterns, go for trendy pieces in this style.
    • If your style is dictated by your taste, you will notice that you are choosing things that go together. If you bought a shirt that you like but doesn't fit, you will most likely buy pants in the same style over time.
  5. 5 Redefine your current wardrobe. Before buying anything, see what you already have. You can create great ensembles from new and old things.You can also throw away or donate items that are no longer fit for you or that you are unlikely to still wear, so that they do not take up a lot of space in your closet. New and never worn items can also be distributed.
    • What do you have and what are you missing? What do you need to create a new fashionable look? If you have a variety of pretty cardigans but don't have any pretty blouses or shirts underneath, focus on blouses when shopping. Do you have a lot of casual casual pants but no smart pants? Look for jeans and dress pants the next time you shop.
    • Pay attention to the condition of your clothes. A stretched or full of holes thing definitely cannot be considered fashionable. Throw away anything that cannot be repaired.
    • Try on clothes that you haven't worn in a long time. Since the figure changes over time, you may find that the thing has become small for you or, conversely, large. Give what is out of size for you.
    • Consider getting rid of things that you no longer need or do not fit in style. If you have clothes that you only wore to nightclubs and now don't go to parties, then maybe it's time to part with them.
    • Before you get rid of old clothes, think about whether you can somehow alter it or simply combine it with new things in an original way.
  6. 6 Buy clothes online. Although it is more convenient to buy clothes in a store where you can try them on, you can also get some of them from online stores. There are very good deals here if you are sure of the size. If not, you'd better go to a physical store, as returning items purchased over the Internet can be expensive. However, you can easily buy accessories like handbags or scarves online at better prices.
  7. 7 Follow trends with care. Fashion is changing rapidly, but it can be fun to follow in its footsteps. Choose trendy items that suit your style. Since fashion never stands still, you should not spend too much money on purchases, because the purchased item will not be able to please you for a long time.
    • Of course, following fashion trends can be an exciting adventure, but you should keep in mind that trends change very quickly. Buy an item if you really like a certain fashion accessory that you really want to have in your collection. For example, if the leggings fit you perfectly, buy them. However, don't spend a lot of money on a model that will go out of style very quickly. Get a cheaper pair instead. These leggings will wear out faster, but this is not a piece that goes with your entire wardrobe.
    • Instead, invest in the above items of clothing that will last you for many years. They can be easily supplemented with already available clothes as a small style adjustment for the coming year.
    • You can easily follow fashion by replenishing your wardrobe. You can use a large number of red accessories you already have if pale pink is one of the trendy shades of the upcoming season.
  8. 8 Buy accessories. Classic accessories will perfectly complement your wardrobe. Invest in quality accessories to add some flair to your outfit. Look for accessories on sale at your favorite stores.
    • Nice scarves, jewelry, watches, sunglasses, and other accessories can help your wardrobe shine. Look for clearance sales on accessories in your favorite stores.
