New Year, new you starts with your wardrobe! There’s no better way to feel as if you’ve made a change than to look in the mirror and see it staring back. Of course, fashion can seem exclusive and elitist, yet you don’t need to be a supermodel to unleash your inner fashionista. It’s all about setting realistic targets that you can quickly implement and maintain for the long-term. Resolutions shouldn’t have to be hard. The more difficult they are, the more challenging it is to stay on the right path.
With that in mind, below are four fashion-themed resolutions that you can try today.
Be Colour-Conscious
Matching colours isn’t straightforward, not when you’ve got a short amount of time to get ready and the clock is ticking down. Just throwing on the closest clothes, or the go-to items that never let you down is often enough to get you through the day. However, that means your outfit will never sparkle and stand out from the crowd. To do that, you need dresses with champagne beige and ivory color, or shoes with vivid reds and deep browns. Matching different items based on their hues will enhance your outfit with little to no effort. An excellent tip is to consider the season – in winter, dark shades are fantastic, whereas it’s best to go lighter in spring and summer.
Shop At Local Establishments
The impact of fast-fashion is there for everybody to see. Still, it’s intoxicating because the process of buying what you want on-demand is as simple as it gets regarding shopping. The big retailers have it all, yet it comes at a cost. Small, boutique shops are local and provide customers with peace of mind as well as excellent bargains. For one thing, vintage shops resell clothes so that they don’t go to waste. As a result, they are cheaper. Last but not least, you get an original outfit, which is hard to find on the high street.
Hone In On The Essentials
Sadly, people are lured into purchases they don’t need because they’re shiny and exotic. Although it’s therapy, in a way, it’s also a great way to waste money without revolutionising your wardrobe. Therefore, your style won’t change and you’ll remain the same person before you made your resolutions. The excellent news is that you can change this by honing in on the essentials. Try buying the timeless pieces that last forever and are flexible, such as LBDs and shawls. That way, your style will be eternally fashionable.
Create Less Clutter
Part of the problem is the amount of choice in your wardrobe. Rather than picking something you love and know works, you agonise over whether a recent purchase is appropriate. This only adds stress and makes it tougher to stick to your resolutions. The trick is to cut back on the clutter to make it easier to find the right outfit, whether you’re going to work or on a night out with the girls. You shouldn’t have to carry as much emotional fashion baggage this year!
