The last two years added comfort to our lives in terms of clothing. Pandemic was indeed the deadliest period in our lives. It took a toll on our physical and mental health. A positive side to this period was only working from home. I am sure you must have attended your online meetings in your pajamas. Nothing can beat that feeling of working at home laying back on your couch wearing your favourite shorts and tank tops.
Once the restrictions of the pandemic got lifted the fashion world boomed with a bang. This year the fashion trends were full of versatility. There is something for everyone. If you are running out of clothes and need to upgrade your closet, just check out the tips listed down below for all you sexy ladies. So scroll down before it’s too late to bring out the diva hidden deep inside you. The tips below are also applicable to your workplace. It’s just a matter of carrying off the outfit with confidence and grace.
1. Go Monochrome:
Monochrome was a hit in the early 70s. The trend is back once again. You don’t need to hustle for selecting your contrasting clothes. Monochrome is the trend this winter. Greys, pinks, whites, and pastels are going to shine this winter. Take out your classic pair of shoes with a similar shade to your dress. Tuxedos, skirts, and denim jackets will work as the best staples for you. Don’t worry you will master this trick in just a few days.
2. Try a Vintage Cardigan:
What other than a cardigan can suit all your bottoms? But the trick here is to pick some best pieces of vintage cardigans. You can pair them with your cropped jeans, flared jeans, boyfriend jeans and high-waist jeans. You can wear all your crop tops, tank tops, shirts, graphic tees or polo t-shirts underneath. I bet everyone around you will try to follow your looks.
3. Try Track Pants & Trousers:
As I said earlier, the pandemic made us apprehend that it’s all about comfort. You can always look classy while prioritising your comfort first. After two years of staying at home in pajamas and shorts, structured pants seem rather stiff. Instead, choose trousers stitched with breathable material. Tailored ones are comfier, as they are particularly your size and body type.
For a casual day off, pick up your track pants and short jackets; pair this up with some funky sports shoes or sneakers. You are all set to rock your day out without compromising your ease a bit.
4. Elevate Your Look with a Blazer:
Blazers are just pure love. They have all the grace to elevate your appearance if worn correctly. You need to learn about their fabric, styling, and colour tones to get the best of them. The little detailing of the blazer makes a significant impact on your entire look. Blazers now are not just confined to tailored cut grey suits. Velvet, small prints, leather, geometric patterns, brocades and sequins are the hot trends this year. Stick to your fashion choices to reflect your true personality.
5. Play with Colour:
Add some colour to your life with a colourful piece of clothing. The important tip here is to keep the rest of the attire neutral. Adding too many colours looks gaudy. Keep your jewellery minimal and let the colours of your dress speak for you. Pick your clothing fabric, prints and patterns considering your body type. For instance, big prints and exaggerated colours don’t look good on a petite body type. Get out of the box, and try all new hues. This trial will help you understand what suits you the best.
6. Mix Patterns and Texture:
Leave the old-school styling behind. Mixing your handbags, shoes or belts with your attire is long forgotten. It’s time to play with modern artsy clothing lines. Add textures to your wardrobe and mix and match them with patterns. Start with your accessories like clutches, scarves, ties etc. Once you learn the trick you can step up to play with your outfits.
7. Highlight your best curves- don’t hide them:
This tip is especially for plump or oversized women. Embrace your weight, and body type to shock the world with your pro styling. Never be afraid or embarrassed by your curves. The fashion world has opened its arms to plus-size women.
Earlier, fashion was supposed for well-toned body types only. The standards were specified for lean and tall women only. But not anymore.
Big fashion houses have started choosing plus-size women as their ramp models. Discrimination based on colour and body type has now lowered to a fair amount. So get up, and try all types of outfits, you were yearning to try all these years. Your curvy body is an asset, flaunt it.
8. Make The Most Of Your Bag:
A handbag is not just a thing that carries your stuff. It has all the power to change your entire look. When running out of jewellery or a new outfit. You can always rely on a statement bag. Always choose different types of colours, textures and sizes while purchasing handbags. Poppy colours look outstanding on your date nights, while classic black or brown shades work on official events.
9. Invest in Good Lingerie:
Your body shape will never look its best without good quality lingerie. It’s necessary to pick the correct shape and size bra to highlight your bosom. Fancy lingerie can sometimes work as your layers underneath oversized shirts and jackets. Especially on beach outings, you need some impressive pieces. You will always get judged for your cheap quality lingerie. Sexy lingerie is a way to unleash the fashionista inside you.
10. Lastly, Be Confident:
Whatever you wear, is never gonna look perfect without confidence in your attitude. You must have seen people with zero skills yet successful. It’s all about a positive attitude and confidence in yourself, whatever the situation is. Your LBD, gowns, low-cut blouse or some sexy beach dress is incomplete without the confidence of carrying them off well. So chin up and walk to slay.
