HOW TO DRESS CLASSY. Everyone has heard that appearances matter a lot. You can be very intelligent but no one will take you seriously if you are dressed like a homeless person or dressed inappropriately. Of course, each person has their own unique style but not all clothes hanging in your wardrobe are for every occasion.
Class isn’t ever out of style. It was important centuries ago, it is important today and believe me when I say that it will always matter in the future.
Proper classy outfits can get you very far in your career and life. The way you choose to dress could influence your life much more than you could imagine. Regardless of what your occupation or personal preference in clothes is, an occasion will always arise that would require you to step up your fashion game. It might be a once in a lifetime opportunity, but you still need to be prepared for it.
HOW TO DRESS CLASSY. So here we want to offer you some pro tips on how to dress and look classy so that whether you are smart or not, you’ll at least look the part – in any circumstance.
HOW TO DRESS CLASSY. STICK TO CLASSIC MATERIALS
Whether it is a regular sweater or a classy dress, the first thing that catches the eye is the quality of fabric that your clothes are made of. What you should do is wear more clothes that are made out of cotton, linen, wool or silk and try to avoid cheap looking synthetic fabric. Of course, clothes made out of quality materials are sometimes expensive but there are expensive materials that also look cheap and non-classy.
However, a well-made piece of cloth can last many years, if you take good care of it.
Always read the labels – admit it, many of you ignore those – and care for each piece of clothing accordingly (so if the label says don’t iron, please DO NOT iron just because you want to wear it to the office).
Besides, you can find some real gems in bargain shops, the market or even at some bend down select vendors. Classy clothes aren’t always expensive so don’t think that if you don’t go to an expensive boutique in Ikoyi, you can’t find classy clothes. You could look like a million bucks in something right out of your grandma’s closet.
Therefore either you splurge on a few expensive materials or take the time and patience to search for classic materials in cheaper shops.
HOW TO DRESS CLASSY .AVOID CRAZY PATTERNS
Patterns and prints are great and all, but that’s only if you know how to pull them off. If you aren’t sure if a particular pattern is classy, or whether it goes well with the other things you want to wear, it’s better not to wear it.
Instead, stick to the basic, neutral colors. Most times, try to use the ‘less is more’ rule. That is less patterns, less colors, and fewer accessories. These can make you look more serious.
Wear monochromatic outfits and try to avoid bright neon colors and most importantly, dress with absolute confidence.
HOW TO DRESS CLASSY ,WEAR CLOTHES THAT FIT YOU
Some men and women have body types that don’t fit the standards of today’s fashion industry. This means that for these kinds of people. It is quite difficult to find clothes that fit them well. But if you want that classy look, it wouldn’t do to wear something that either too small or too big for you.
So what should you do?
You have three choices.
The first is to settle for clothes that fit you, even if you dislike them. Sometimes these grow on you over time and you come to like them. The second is to go to your tailor and have the clothes fitted for you. But if this option is too expensive for you, there’s a third option – fit your clothes yourself!
Haha, don’t laugh. Most of the time, you don’t have to be a world-class tailor to do it. All you need is a few stitches to fix your outfit. Fortunately, the internet has made life easy; YouTube can help you very well here.
However, if none of these options are for you, you can remedy an ill-fitting outfit with a few well-thought-out accessories to change the whole look.
Never underestimate the power of rolled-up sleeves or a well-placed belt.
LEAVE A LITTLE SOMETHING TO THE IMAGINATION
This tip is for the ladies, because yes, we get it, you have a killer body and you want to show off. But a classy lady should never reveal all her secrets – whether at that party with your husband or at that work dinner.
Try to avoid deep necklines, especially those go all the way down to your navel, shorts, crop tops or short skirts – you can reserve these for casual occasions. Your neckline shouldn’t reveal more than a tiny bit of cleavage, and your belly button should be out of sight at all times.
The shortest skirt or shorts you wear should only reach just above the knee. Anything shorter is completely inappropriate for that classy look.HOW TO DRESS CLASSY.
TAKE A LOOK IN THE MIRROR AND TAKE ONE THING OFF BEFORE YOU LEAVE THE HOUSE
These are the wise words of the enigmatic Audrey Hepburn. So many years later, these words still ring true.
As has been stated earlier, if you want to look classy, keep the number of accessories to the minimum.
Stick to things made from precious metals and avoid large necklaces and earrings, unless they are the centerpieces of your outfit.
Shoes and bags also count as accessories so leave your sneakers and backpacks at home. Instead, exchange them for clutches and handbags (women) and classic shoes (men).
Ladies, you don’t need to torture yourself with heels if you don’t want to, shoes with small wedges and flats can be classy too.
What matters the most is that you are comfortable. At the end of the day, let loose a bit. It isn’t possible to be classy 24/7 so breathe out, put on your favorite nightwear, curl up on the couch with your partner and watch your favorite TV show.
But use these tips as well as your imagination and personal knowledge to create a classy look in no time!
