Scroll down to find the top 50 style ideas for women, regardless of size, budget, or aesthetic. These tips will help you organize your wardrobe and eliminate the guesswork.
1. DETERMINE HOW YOU WANT TO SHOW UP IN THE WORLD
Your message is the first step to establishing your style. This is your personal branding. It’s an external package that reveals your inner self and highlights your best qualities.
Start by asking yourself how do you want to be perceived by those you meet. Use words that portray a clear mental image of how you want to be perceived by others. You can use adjectives like intelligent, powerful, compassionate, sophisticated, and intelligent to measure your image. It’s important to be as concise and clear as you can. This is the first step in the personal styling process we take with a client. You must be clear about your message before you can determine the style of your clothing.
Be aware that your personal narrative is always being driven by you, regardless of whether you are conscious of it. What is your vision of what you want your style and appearance to communicate?
2. BE AUTHENTIC
Your clothing is an extension and reflection of you. Your clothing should reflect your personality and strengthen your image. If you are more comfortable in flats or prefer the latest trends, don’t put your feet into stilettos 5 inches high. You should wear clothing that is comfortable for you.
You can feel confident in your outfit by asking 3 questions. Do I see myself in the mirror? Or am I trying to imitate someone else? Do I feel joy when wearing this clothing? You’re good to go if you answered all three questions.
3. FASHION IS NOT PRIORITIZED OVER COMFORT
This is the most important tip for women when it comes to fashion tips.
When you are faced with a choice between comfort and style, choose what feels best. You can’t exude power if you feel restricted or uncomfortable. We should not believe the old saying that beauty is suffering. Women have to balance a busy career and family life. We don’t need to worry about spending 8 hours at work in a dress or jeans that restrict our movement. There is always an alternative that’s equally stylish and just as fashionable.
4. IDENTIFY YOUR INSPIRATION
When learning a new skill, it’s a good idea to study the work of others who have done it before. It’s helpful to look at the work of others who are similar to you to help you establish your style.
Make a list of people you consider to be well-dressed, whether they are celebrities, politicians, TV personalities, or coworkers. You can identify your style preferences by identifying who your peers are.
It can be difficult to do this exercise. It can be difficult to imagine yourself wearing something different than what you are used to. You can ignore your natural hesitation to venture outside of your comfort zone for the moment and focus on what you like.
5. BUILD A GUIDE TO VISUAL STYLE
You can create a collection that reflects your style. Search for images of outfits you like, icons that represent your style, and any other reference you have to help you build your brand.
Pinterest is an excellent platform to collect ideas. It uses a simple algorithm to quickly learn your preferences and create personalized recommendations. Our account offers many outfit ideas to inspire you.
You can also save images to a folder on your smartphone, or you can cut out photos from magazines and create a mood board.
You can easily identify patterns in your style by taking photos and seeing what your preferences are as a group. This visual guide will help you to create outfits and choose what to wear.
6. Assess what you own and let go of what doesn’t align
Being clear about the image you are creating for yourself will allow you to assess your closet with honesty, objectivity and integrity. You’re likely to have worn the same item for years. This is not because you selected it strategically, but because it was familiar. You need to be more systematic about what you wear.
To determine if your wardrobe is compatible with the style you want, go through each piece of clothing. Anything that isn’t in line with your style should be let go. You will repeat the same old patterns if you hold on to clothing that is sentimentally attached. Only keep the pieces that you are most passionate about and let go of the rest.
7. GIVE YOUR CLOTHES A SECOND LIFE
Clothing is a gift that will never stop giving. What doesn’t work for you, will most likely be of value to someone else. Talk to your family and friends about the possibility of someone in need of clothing. You can drop off your donations at Goodwill or the Salvation Army, and also check out local non-profits who work with the homeless.
8. HANGERS CAN BE USED TO SEE WHICH ITEMS DO NOT GET WORN
You should still keep track of everything you have after a major edit. The hanger test can help you determine which clothes you don’t wear. To find out which clothes you don’t wear, turn all your hangers towards you. Re-hang items in the normal direction, with the hook facing you as you wear them.
You can set a time period to review what you have worn, usually 6 months to 1 years. Take note of anything that is still in its original form. They can be sold or donated as they are unlikely to be worn again.
9. TRY THE IN/OUT METHOD
You now have a well-organized wardrobe ready to show off your new style. You must be disciplined to keep it that way. You must be disciplined to keep your closet clean. You should create systems that will prevent you from accumulating more clothes as time passes. This is a great way to keep your organization organized by taking out an item for each new item. One pair of jeans should be thrown out if you purchase a new pair. You need to have a place for everything in your closet.
10. SHOP YOUR SHAPE
Knowing your body is key to achieving a sense of style that suits you. Knowing which silhouettes and cuts work best for you will eliminate the confusion and clutter in your closet.
Balance is one of the most important style tips for women. You can balance your weight by adding volume to your top. For example, if you have more bulk at the bottom, try to add more volume to the top. You can fool the eye by increasing the weight of your lower half (ie., your bust and shoulders) to create visual balance.
The women who dress comfortably know what flatters and what they should avoid. This helps them to enhance their best assets. Do some research on the most popular female body types to help you identify your type.
Your style development begins with choosing clothes that you love.
11. CHECK WHAT YOU CAN AFFORD IN QUALITY BASICS
Women who have great taste know that investing a little more on their basic wardrobe items will ensure that they always have access quality pieces that last. The basics are essentials that every woman should have and can be used in a variety settings. It is important to be less and get more from what you have.
We recommend investing as much money as possible in neutral denim, slack options and versatile coats. Also, consider buying classic button downs, white button downs, fitted gowns, structured blazers and classic leather handbags. They will be worn many times over, making it worth the investment.
Although you might have to spend more upfront for better quality, you will be replacing your basics less often than if they were cheaper and faster-fashion. You’ll shop less and save money on repeat purchases.
12. CREATE A CAPSULE WARDROBE
A capsule wardrobe is a combination of fashion and function. It allows you to mix and match your clothes with ease, and it has a consistent theme. It is your personal uniform, as everything in it works together and sets the foundation for your personal style. It’s much easier to get dressed up in the morning when you have a capsule wardrobe. It’s easy to put together great outfits because everything is already paired together.
The ultimate goal of a capsule wardrobe is to create a collection that’s similar to your existing wardrobe. The goal of the capsule wardrobe method is not to have a specific number of pieces in your closet but rather to create a system for dressing that simplifies everyday life.
13. FADS ARE NOT THE PRINCIPLES
Trends are items that become popular but don’t last. It is important to not spend too much time on trendy pieces or spending money on items that will be out of fashion for a while. We recommend buying something if you are truly obsessed with it. However, we also suggest keeping your purchases to a minimum. Keep your focus on the classics and keep your thoughts focused on them. You can establish your style by not being too distracted by the latest trends. You should be able to create a capsule wardrobe that you love and has everything you need for your everyday looks.
14. WEAR CLOTHES THAT FIT!
When it comes to great fashion, fit is the most important factor. Why? Because clothing that flatters and fits properly highlights our strengths, flatters our bodies, and makes us feel good. If it doesn’t fit, drape or mold to our bodies correctly, beautiful clothing is not a good choice.
The clothes we wear must fit well. They should have a defined shape that allows for movement without being bulky. Too small or they can make us look unbalanced and unnatural. The key to effortless style and comfort is proper fit.
Do not go down a size to make yourself feel better. Or up a size if you believe it will hide your problem areas. The best clothing will fit you well.
15. EXPERIMENT AND EXPLORE
Your image is not something you can build in a matter of hours. Give yourself permission to experiment and have fun. It takes time and effort to develop a sense for style. To experiment with new outfit combinations, you can use what’s already in your closet. Try on silhouettes that you have never tried before in the shop. You will discover new possibilities when you step out of your comfort zone.
16. AGE IS JUST A NUMBER
The term “age-appropriate” clothing is not only outdated, but also ill-fitting. Prescriptive ideas of aging in a more calm, controlled manner suggest that we have a limit to how good we look.
It’s difficult enough to be a woman without having to conform to a fashion-by-numbers style. Like everything else in fashion, what we feel and how our clothes make us feel is the most important thing.
Although we may not want to recreate the look we wore in our 20s, it doesn’t mean that we shouldn’t be passionate about dressing well. No matter your age, you can embrace the style that makes you feel good and experiment with fashion.
17. COMMIT TO STRATEGIC SHOPPING
You need a plan to shop effectively. Otherwise, you will be prone to repeat the same buying habits that you have made up until now. You can make a list of the items that you are missing from your wardrobe so you know what to look for when you go to the mall. You didn’t come to buy that top that you already own 3 times, but it happens to be on sale right now. Keep to your plan!
It is a good idea to break up your shopping and only purchase a handful of items per trip. When there is too much to think about, our minds can get overwhelmed. Blouses and sweaters are best left for the last minute if blazers or pants are on your shopping list. When you aren’t overwhelmed by decision fatigue, you are more likely to find the right item.
18. PREPARE FOR THE DRESSING ROOM
It can be overwhelming to try on clothes in a dressing area. It is a combination of the unflattering mirrors and the discomfort at having to ask sales associates for different sizes and styles.
It’s a good idea to be prepared, especially if shopping for something important, such as an outfit for a special occasion. Makeup, hair done, and your undergarments and shoes ready. You will be more comfortable trying on clothes and you will have a greater chance of finding the right one.
19. DON’T BUY UNTIL YOU’RE 100% CERTAIN
All of us have felt that urge to try on something and know that we must have it. Sometimes, however, that is not the case. You won’t wear it if you are weighing the pros and cons of purchasing something. This is how we end up with so many clothes in our closets with price tags.
If you are unsure about an item ask the sales associate to place it on hold. You can still think about it for two days. If you love it, buy it. It won’t be an impulse buy at that point.
20. LEARN YOUR GO TO BRANDS
You’ll discover which brands flatter your body and provide styles that suit your style as you experiment with fashion. Knowing which stores stock the right items makes shopping much easier. If you are looking for the perfect fit, bone jeans will be your best option. It is easy to identify your favorite brands and build your capsule wardrobe.
21. BUILD A PERSONAL LOOK BOOK
You can create your own look book even if you don’t work with a Personal stylist. Take photos of outfits that you love and take pictures to keep them in your memory. This will make it easier to choose an outfit and ensure you don’t forget a great look.
22. PLANNING YOUR OUTFITS IN ADVANCE
Mornings can be hectic, especially for those with children or early meetings. Automating your routine is a great way to reduce decision fatigue and get out the door in time. You can plan your outfits just like you plan meals. This will save you from rushing to find something last-minute. Simple strategies such as choosing your clothes the night before can help you avoid an emergency. Also, we like the idea that you can block out a week’s worth outfits on Sunday night so that you can batch the task to make all your fashion choices at once.
23. DON’T BE IN DOUBT. DRESS UP.
It’s better to dress more formal than casual if you’re not sure about the dress code. This is especially important in unfamiliar work environments where it may be difficult to follow the dress code. People naturally give more attention to well-dressed people and look up to them. It’s always better to be safe than sorry.
24. BUT, ALSO LEARN HOW STYLISHLY TO DRESS DOWN
A wardrobe that is not on-duty will make you feel great every time you leave the house. Even if you’re just going to Target or the grocery store, it doesn’t matter what.
Even though they are reserved for weekends, a small selection of pieces can make a big difference. If you want to learn how to create casual outfits, focus on the basics. This includes a loungewear set, a denim jacket and joggers.
25. FORM A RELATIONSHIP W/ A TAILOR
A well-dressed woman will always have a trusted tailor at her disposal and knows the importance of fitting properly-fitted garments. A minor modification to something too big or unstructured could have a significant impact on the overall look.
You can instantly transform the look of your blouse by reducing the sleeves or adjusting the hemline of a jacket. Balance is key to dressing according to your body type. This can often be accomplished by minor adjustments and alterations.
