Style your shape

Having a wardrobe filled with items that look amazing on you requires some strategic shopping. A wardrobe with items that accentuate the best part of your shape takes a while to establish, but investing in designs and styles that work for your body is essential. If you’re uncertain which style works for you, go through your closet and find items that are flattering to your shape. For instance, say you really like the look and feel of high-waisted pants because it accentuates your long legs. Or, say you love spaghetti straps because it allows your arms more freedom. When shopping, keep that style in mind and search for items that will create the same silhouette. Once you’ve found more flattering items, experiment with different fabrics, patterns, colors, and embellishments to find your own unique style!

Pre-select outfits for busy mornings

This is another basic tip, the importance of which can’t be overstated: don’t let your hectic schedule get in the way of your creative styling. If your mornings are reserved for caffeine intake and mental preparation for the day to come, take a few minutes before you go to sleep the night before to pick out a winning combination of clothes. Don’t sacrifice style because your days are jam-packed! When you have a closet full of clothes that works for your style and shape, all you need is a few seconds of free time to craft an ensemble that will no doubt make you shine. Despite the hustle and bustle of the workday, you will feel your best in an outfit that works for you and you will be glad you took the time the night before.

Combine basic items & the latest trends

There are certain basic items that every woman should own: simple tops in solid colors, basic tank-tops, jeans for everyday wear and color-blocked skirts (shown above). Simple cuts and solid colors never go out of style and can be paired easily with items of more unique styles. When shopping for new items, consider making basic items 70% of your wardrobe, while trendy items should comprise about 30% of your wardrobe. That way, you can add new trends each season, reselling or donating the older trends, and your wardrobe will look stylish and modern all year round! With 2-3 new trendy additions each season, you will look and feel on top of your game without spending a fortune.
