HOW TO CHOOSE YOUR OUTFIT EACH DAY

7 Amazing Tips to Kill Your Fashion Blues

Hi, and welcome to my corner again, rather it’s our space. It’s FashionXtra and it’s our second post. Last time, I talked about knowing what makes a dress good quality and if you’re still buying dresses blindly with mixed results, it’s because you haven’t read that post yet.

In this post, I would be giving you simple guides on choosing your outfit for each day and each outing. Trust me, this is a life-saver and if you battle with choosing what to wear every day like a friend of mine used to, then you would be doing yourself a world of favour to read this to the end.

Considering the stress involved in choosing an outfit to wear even when the dress code is being stated, most ladies still wear anything that their hands meet when they open their wardrobe/ luggage. This is of course a general problem that most ladies struggle with. Most times, they have the feeling that "they don't have what to wear" because they always feel that the outfit is too "old" or they have worn it too much.

But despite all these, you can choose an outfit for everyday outings by simply having a great sense of style and effort in achieving it. Without thinking too much about how to go about this, you have to consider the following steps; let's jump into it.

1. Start With Your Mood & Mindset.

This is the first thing to do. What is your mood like and what mindset do you plan to have with that outfit? This has a way of showing you how to choose an outfit. When you are not feeling happy, it already tells you to go for an outfit that can brighten your mood. That is an outfit that will make you feel happy regardless of your mood.

Sometimes, you might want to look casual, your mindset has already pointed to you, the kind of outfit to choose. Always let your mood and mindset speak to you as to what outfit to go for.

2. Think About the Kind of Outfit You Love Putting On

What is your dress sense like? What do you love putting on that makes you "feel good about yourself? In this way, you can stay true to yourself. Know what you like to wear and go for it. If you are the type that likes highlighting some parts of your body, go for those outfits and you will find out that you won't be struggling with choosing an outfit every day.

3. Go with the Weather

During cold weather, you should think of going with an outfit that will bring warmth and make you feel comfortable. To make it easier for you, you can download apps on weather forecasts that give daily notifications. This way, you tend to reduce the discomfort that comes when you choose the wrong outfit for that day.

4. Think About the Occasion

Always remember this: Dress according to the occasion. Every outing has its unique style of dressing. What you wear to hang out is different from what you wear to the office or to a dinner date. Always allow the purpose of the outing to decide how to choose your outfit.

You don’t dress casually to a job interview or wear a dinner gown to the beach, except you are a Kim Kardashian or a Tyra Banks who has an auspicious photo shoot to do.

5. Start with your Essentials

Start with the basics things that complement every outfit like the shoes, bags, jewellery and the hair you wear. With these, you can have a clue as to which outfit will go with the shoe and bag or which outfit you can wear with the hair. Likewise which jewellery will go with a particular outfit? If you can do this, it will help reduce the stress involved in choosing the outfit to wear.

6. Vibe with Colour

Sometimes not knowing how to choose your outfit can be a result of which colour of outfit will match each other. Think of colours that bring compliments to you and make you appealing to every eye.

This way, you tend to reduce the stress that comes with choosing an outfit. Because you already know the colours that go with your skin tone and you rock the outfit just as you want it.

For those that find it difficult in choosing the colours of an outfit, you can download a colour palette and know how to mix colours that will give you that perfect combination.

7. Go Online

It is always good to stay up to date, to renew your outfit ideas. Therefore, reach out to creative stylists, magazines, and blog posts that are related to fashion. This way, you can ease the stress involved in choosing an outfit for an everyday outing.

Most emerging fashion trends always make their way to the internet, so if you want to keep in touch with the latest updates, the internet space has to be your buddy.

Conclusion

Never be in a hurry to choose an outfit every day. Looking good is good business and getting it done the right way saves you a whole lot when you follow the steps that have been mentioned above. 

You don't want to be in a position when you run into your friend and you start hiding from him/her or when you go for an occasion and you are unnoticed or you are so embarrassed as to how you look.

You have more than enough to look smart, elegant and beautiful. Take that effort today and make it a habit to choose the right outfit every day.
