Why Isn’t Your Fashion Sense Well-Tuned?

Not everybody is born with the innate skill of being a fashion guru, but that doesn’t mean most of us are destined to look unfashionable for the rest of our lives. Becoming stylish is within anyone’s reach. It’s a skill that can be learned. And it’s about more than your natural appearance. It’s about making your outfits and accessories work with your natural appearance. To explain this in more detail, we’ll suggest some reasons as to why your fashion sense might not be well-tuned.

You don’t pick the right accessories.

Don’t underestimate the importance of accessorizing. As we’ll discuss in this article, you don’t need to dress lavishly in order to look stylish, but you also don’t want to dress in a bland and uninspired way. If you want to avoid letting that happen then you need to start picking the right accessories for your outfits. The right accessory can completely transform your look. Take a look at the picture above. The outfit isn’t particularly extravagant, but it looks incredibly stylish because the accessories have been well-coordinated with the clothes. The watch and belt are both a matching shade of orange, and they both blend well with the yellow shirt. The point is that accessories matter. Even your socks can add some personality to your outfit if they match your shoes and trousers well. The little details count when it comes to creating a well-tuned fashion sense. It shows the world that you carefully consider the clothes you wear.

Fashion and practicality can mix well too. A warm jacket for this bitterly cold season can be an accessory that ties your entire outfit together. If you want to wrap up without wearing a bloated and unfashionable coat then you could consider getting a trench coat. Obviously, fast fashion isn’t ethical or economical on an individual level, so you should be picking accessories that can work with many different outfits and last for years to come. That should always be the goal when it comes to developing your style. Don’t look to update your wardrobe every season; pick timeless pieces. Avoid following trends, and pick accessories that are classic. That way, they’ll always look good when paired with the right outfits. You won’t have to worry about your sense of style becoming dated.

You don’t opt for well-fitted clothing.

This piece of advice is quite straightforward, but many people don’t seem to appreciate the importance of wearing well-fitted clothing. We’re not talking about wearing skinny jeans that are too tight for you to feel comfortable; we’re talking about wearing clothes that suit the shape of your body. Well-fitted clothing gives the impression that your wardrobe is personalized and tailor-made to your appearance. This will improve your sense of style. You might even want to look into professionals who design custom dress shirts. Getting clothes specially made to fit your physique could really improve your wardrobe.

You don’t mix things up.

Fashion is flexible and versatile. Most of all, it’s interesting. You should enjoy expressing yourself through the things you wear. As has already been mentioned, you don’t have to make extravagant and bold statements (unless that reflects your personality). The key is to simply feel comfortable in what you wear. But you might not feel that way if you wear near-identical clothes every day. Mixing things up is a good way to keep your wardrobe exciting and fresh. You don’t have to continuously buy new things to achieve this; you just need to find ways to match up different pieces of clothing to create different outfits. Maybe you could get some retro clothing to pair up with modern attire. That could create a unique and stylish look. Fashion goes in cycles, after all.
