Like it or not, people do judge a book by it’s cover – including you. Every day people are making assumptions about you solely based on your appearance. That’s why it’s important that you look your best. Here are some free tips from personal stylists that you can incorporate into your wardrobe right away:

#1 – It’s okay to NOT wear heels. If heels aren’t your thing, no biggie. You can totally rock your tomboy look by pairing a sharp blazer with sneakers and still look totally hot.

 

#2 – Mix chic and cheap. It’s okay to mix and match expensive items with cheaper, less expensive pieces.

#3 – Stay true to yourself and don’t follow others. You don’t have to follow the latest trends.

#4 – Invest in a nice fashion staple. Instead of wasting money on multiple pieces, it’s best to invest in a good item such as a cool bag.

#5 – Skinny jeans don’t work on everyone. If you have a pear shape, it’s best to stay away from skinny jeans and opt for a boot cut.

#6 – Avoid super trendy items. If something is in this season, it will be out come next season. Plus, when you pull it out of your closet again, they will look dated.

#7 – Buy designer clothing online. Instead of buying designer clothing from the store, purchase it online. Many people are selling brand new or almost new designer items.

#8 – Accessories make the outfit. You can pull off any outfit as long as you add some cool accessories to match.

#9- There’s no such thing as one size fits all. Those labels are deceptive. Everyone is different, so there is no way one item can fit everyone.

#10 – Stay brand loyal. If you find a particular items that fits you well, it’s likely that designer creates fabrics for your body type. You’ll do best to look at what other items they have to offer.
