When a woman complains that she has nothing to wear, despite having plenty of clothes, this often means that she doesn’t have a unified style chosen to guide her wardrobe. When you have a closet full of different styles and pieces that don’t work together, and you are unsure what look you are going for, it can make for confusion when you try to dress.
Choosing an overall look will make getting dressed much easier. Here are a few options for looks to get you started:
The casual look: This look is classic, streamlined, no-fuss and no-frills. You can actually dress it up or down, but the key to this look is that it is uncomplicated. Think jeans and plain shirts, pants or slacks, blazers, and so on. If this is your style, stay away from the latest trends and from anything that is cutesy, overly adorned, or revealing.
Most of your clothing should be in classic colors as well. Think navy, grey, white, khaki, black. This look is a bit tomboyish because it is unadorned and does not subscribe to the trimmings of femininity (lace, florals, elaborate prints, etc.).
The bombshell look: This look is the perfect choice for a woman who has a great figure and is not afraid to show it off. By choosing the bombshell look, you will be drawing attention to your curves with form-fitting and clinging clothing items.
Bombshells will wear dresses that hug curves. Jeans and slacks will be well-fitted rather than loose or fitted for comfort. Your clothing will also likely show skin. Let your body get most of the attention with this look – keep away from loud prints, too much adornment, or frills.
The bohemian look: Some people hear ‘bohemian’ and equate this with not putting in any effort in dressing and just wearing whatever is handy, or else wearing unflattering and loose and worn clothing. Nothing could be further from the case. Often, the bohemian look is the hardest to achieve! If you want to try for a bohemian look, you’ll be combining colors and styles and textures across eras and even cultures. You may wear a modern and artsy blazer paired with a vintage skirt from the 1940s, for instance.
Color is your friend, and trends are spice to add to the overall look. Be careful though. You want to look artsy and edgy but not haphazard.
