How can I style an outfit?

To style an outfit is a way to personalize your Look. There are a number of ways you can style an outfit. You can choose your outfit according to where you are going and then choose your accessories. Are you going to a wedding, bowling or the office? You would select different accessories for all three of these events. Also when deciding which accessories to wear keep in mind that simple, classic, tailored clothing can handle bolder accessories but something such as a floral dress would look better with minimal type accessories. Think about where you want to focus attention. If you want to focus attention on your face you can wear a hat, a statement necklace, statement earrings or you can add a scarf around your neck. If you have a tiny waist you might want to wear a statement belt. You have gorgeous legs and want to call attention to them choose statement footwear. Another way to style your outfit is to build your outfit around an accessory. You have fabulous shoes, a hat or a handbag you want to wear. Pick clothing that will coordinate with the item you want to wear. For example a great bold color handbag would look awesome with a black and white outfit.

Coco Chanel “A lady should look in the mirror and remove one accessory before leaving the house.”
