Three Fashion tips and how to make them work for you

When it comes to fashion and style you don't want to make an embarrassing fashion faux pas in front of your fashionable friends. You know that your fashion choices say a lot about you and your personality. There is no room for fashion mistakes.

Here are the three biggest fashion tips and how to make them work for you!

1. Your bible is your fashion magazine

Everyone in the know about fashion will agree that the number one fashion tip concerns fashion magazines. Fashion magazines are full of great advice, know-how, tips and hints, and so they should certainly be your bible. But do keep your head about you: never believe everything in fashion magazines. By all means spend your time flicking through every fashion magazine and studying the models, clothes, shoes, accessories, and make up, but in the end, and this is the most important thing, you need to make your very own decision about what is right for you. If you blindly follow the fashion magazines, then you will simply be in danger of becoming a fashion victim.


How to make fashion magazines work for you:

Always invest in fashion magazines, but use them as a guide only. Learn to develop your own style.

2. Your clothes must fit you

Sometimes the best fashion tips are the most common-sense ones. Buying clothes that fit right seems like the most natural thing in the world, but often it is hard and many people make big mistakes. Just think about this – how many times did you purchase a size too small because the item was on sale or because you thought you would lose some weight in time to wear it? You know, that you will never lose the extra weight and end up wearing the item instead. This is a big mistake, because you will end up accentuating the wrong parts of your body if your clothing does not fit perfectly.


How to make clothing size work for you:

Always buy clothing that fits perfectly. If sleeves or pants are too long, then by all means find a seamstress to alter the garment. Learn to look in the mirror.
3. Your wardrobe is well planned and thought out

Many wardrobes end up being a mixed statement of fashion odds and ends. You know how this happens – you go shopping and pick up the odd skirt and the odd top hoping to match it with another item you have in your wardrobe. Most often you do this because you are on a budget (aren't we all!) and you hope that buying cheap or discounted items is good economics. This is a big mistake! You will only end up with numerous pieces of odd clothing that never match up perfectly.


How to make wardrobe planning work for you:


Once you've studied the fashion magazines and gone window shopping you need to make a fashion plan. Work out what you want, check it against your budget and then go out and buy a few complete outfits that you can show off right away.
