How to Dress Oneself and Look Good

							How to Dress Oneself and Look Good
If you dress well you'll feel better. Dressing appropriately and looking
good is an art form you can enjoy for the rest of your life.
<Steps
1Colours. The colours you wear should compliment your skin tone, hair
colour and eye colour. Don¡¯t be afraid to break out of the black and go
for something colourful. Just make sure the colours are flattering. There
are lots of books and web sites that will help you choose the right
colours for example darker people can wear louder colours whereas paler
skins often look better with more subtle colours. If you can afford have
a professional do your colour palette. Your local college might run a
course or get a group of friends together and share some of the cost. The
investment will pay for itself in time because things in your wardrobe
match up better and you¡¯re less prone to making expensive mistakes.<
2Body shape. Clothes can either flatter your shape or draw attention to
your flaws. Some body shapes look good in flowing garments, while others
look good in fitted or tailored garments. Again a professional opinion is
the best. Some shops offer free personal shopper services for a minimum
purchase. Ask the store if the staff are trained to give advice on body
shape. The shape of your face is also important in deciding the type of
neckline or collar to wear. Again there are books and web articles on the
subject.
3Quality. Shop for quality, fewer quality items are better than a
wardrobe stuffed with tops that are falling apart at the seams, faded or
quickly loose their shape. Think about which is best spending ?40 on a
top that will be good for 40 wears or ?8 on a top that starts coming
apart after 3 washes.
4You¡¯ll feel better in quality clothes. People sense you¡¯re wearing
good clothing, and treat you better - try it see what happens.
5Dress appropriately. It¡¯s obvious that a tailored suit is great for
work but there are subtler ways you can dress inappropriately. You won¡¯t
be taken too seriously in yellow and navy blue on a first date will give
the impression you¡¯re not interested in having any fun. (No I don¡¯t
mean the physical kind). Likewise showing too much skin on a first date
may mean you do want to have fun of the physical kind.
6Fashion. Like it or not people treat you differently if you¡¯re dressed
fashionably, not catwalk stuff but just reflections of the current
trends. Think about the first impressions you have someone. Note it down
and then look at the clothes they are wearing.
7Last but not least experiment, if you¡¯re short of cash try second hand
shops or clothes swap with friends. Dressing can be a lot of fun and a
great way of expressing yourself. You never know the next great outfit
could change your life for the better.<
