Whether you’re heading out on a romantic date night with your partner or planning your next vacation, choosing the right outfit can be difficult. After all, finding clothes that we feel confident in can prove to be challenging – but this does not mean that this is impossible!
With that in mind, here are some top tips for feeling confident in any outfit!
Find clothes that fit nicely. The first step toward feeling confident in any outfit is ensuring that you find clothes that fit nicely. This is something that 75% of shoppers find difficult, often because they’re unsure of what clothing size they should actually be looking for. You can figure this out by taking precise measurements and figuring out the equivalent sizing. Remember, there’s often (frustratingly) no standardized sizing across shops or brands, which means you may be one size in one store and a completely different size in another.
Learn how to create a flatter silhouette. All bodies are beautiful, no matter what size. However, learning how to create a flattering silhouette through your clothing is a great way to take your confidence to the next level. To get started, think carefully about what you consider to be your best features so that you can accentuate this through the pieces that you wear. If this is something that you tend to struggle with, consider working with a personal shopper or stylist who can help you to pick out outfits that flatter your unique body type.
While this comes at an additional expense, the knowledge you’ll gain from this session is invaluable as you can apply to every future shopping trip you complete, whether you’re visiting a thrift store or hitting up a designer shop!
Find brands that you can trust. Finding clothing that you feel confident in often means shopping from brands that you can trust both in terms of sizing and quality. Furthermore, finding a brand that you love often means that you can always find clothes that match your unique tastes and style, whether you’re looking for cocktail party attire or bikinis in the US.
Find ways to add your own unique spin on the latest trends. While some people love to keep up with the latest trends, this can be difficult if your style is a little more unique. However, this does not mean that you have to avoid them entirely. Instead, you can find a way to add a unique spin to the latest fads. For example, as this summer saw the return of Y2K fashion, you could pair a trendy baby-t with your usual wardrobe styles, finding a balance between the two!
Wear your favorite colors. Did you know that wearing your favorite colors can boost your confidence? This is particularly true if you tend to favor bright and bold colors, due to a theory known as color psychology. As our brains tend to associate certain colors with specific moods and memories, wearing bright colors can quickly lift your spirits, leaving you feeling more confident than ever.
