How To Construct A Timeless Wardrobe Without Overspending

By Lashanda Dimarzo


Creating a formal wardrobe can be a difficult task. There are a lot of factors involved, such as color, price, availability and fabric. You can use these tips to choose better pieces of clothing.

If you wear stockings, keep a small bottle of clear nail polish with you. If you get a snag or run, a small drop of the polish will help stop it before it gets bad. Remember that it only takes a small amount to work so, do not overdo it, or you will have a sticky mess.

Black is a good basic color to wear with other colors, but do not concentrate on wearing black all the time. While wearing black on the bottom half of your body can be somewhat slimming, make sure you jazz your style up by adding something colorful on your upper body.

If you are not very tall, you should be careful about wearing sweaters that are too long. While you do not want to wear something that is so short that it resembles a cropped top, wearing something with too much length will only make you appear to be much shorter than you actually are.

Don't be afraid to go up a size if it means achieving the perfect fit. It can be quite distressing when you try on your usual size only to find it doesn't fit. Don't fret! Sizes vary from designer to designer and brand to brand, so it is perfectly okay to go up a size from your usual size.

You are going to want to talk to your friends and coworkers about how you dress. They can help you figure out what you are doing that works, and what you might want to change about how you dress. Since they see you every day, they can be the ones you go to for advice.

Don't follow a trend just because it's "in." Just because something looks fantastic on the super slim runway model, it does not mean it will look good on your body shape and size. Develop your own style and avoid falling for supposedly hot trends presented in fashion magazines that expire quicker than a gallon of milk. Trust your gut. You can't go wrong by following your gut.

If you are wearing a plus size and want to look smaller, stay away from floral patterns with large shapes and flowers. These larger shapes put more emphasis on being bigger and it can be unflattering to you. Instead opt for smaller floral patterns to take the attention away from the bigger parts of the body.

Keep a few pairs of classic shoes in traditional colors on hand. Having fun with the varying styles that shoes come in is recommended, but is always nice to have a pair of shoes that can go with almost any dress or pantsuit. Do not avoid changing trends, yet keep classic accessories in your wardrobe as well.

A lot of times, jackets will have loose stitches near vents or shoulders. These threads can make your whole look appear a little sloppy. Just get some scissors and cut them to remove them. This is a simple way to improve your style.

One great piece of fashion advice is to make sure that you check yourself from all angles before walking out your door. This is important because you do not want to be embarrassed due to either a strange fit, a stain, or leaving a tag on. Have someone else to check for you as well, if possible.

To get ready for the next fashion season, try picking up some items with floral patterns. Now, they're not back in a big way, but the floral pattern is reemerging as a top fashion design. Floral patterns are quite popular and are great if you want to create a new look for the spring or summer. If you do wear something with a pattern, continue the trend through to your accessories.

As you can see, there is no need to be overwhelmed by the choices of fabric, style and price when you need to go formal. Use them to create your own personal style. Keep these tips in mind for all the help you need.
