With so much fashion advice and opinions of beauty in our society and the media, it can be hard to find something that makes you feel comfortable or sexy! There’s a thousand things telling us what we should like, but every woman is different and should be encouraged to go out and find her own unique style! From boho fashion to mini club dresses to a nice T-shirt and jeans, every woman should find the wardrobe that’s best for her lifestyle. And with American women adding an average of about 64 new items to her closet every year, it’s important to have things you like. Sometimes it’s good to have a few basics like cute bathing suits, a little black dress, and a variety of fashion necklaces to spice up an outfit.
I Want To Be Trendy, But My Body Type Isn’t!
One complaint a lot of women have when going shopping is that the trends that are out cater to a specific body type — usually tall and thin. For the majority of women who aren’t both of those things, shopping can be a frustrating experience, especially with womens swimwear (given how much the media suggests what a woman’s body should look like) or summer clothes like shorts and tank tops that are a little more revealing. Almost 60% of women look for fashionable or trendy items when they go shopping, whether or not they believe they’ll look the best in them.
Try not to worry about what the magazines say you should be wearing. It’s possible to look perfectly chic even if you’re taller than average, plus size, have small hips or large hips. Look for stores that cater more towards different body types. It may take a little more searching, but there’s something there for everyone, guaranteed. Don’t be afraid to get online and join the almost 50% of other shoppers who prefer doing their shopping online. It may give you more options and more places to look.
Accessorize!
One thing that can always perk an outfit up is fun accessories! So if you’re bemoaning the fact that all you own is black or some other neutral color, consider getting a colorful scarf or some fun fashion necklaces to spice things up. A popular trend among fashion necklaces has been statement necklaces — chunkier and more colorful pieces that stand out against a more neutral item of clothing. Take your fashion game to the next level with choosing shoes, belts, handbags, scarves, and jewelry that are spunky and bold!
Strut Your Stuff
One of the biggest things that can make you feel and look beautiful is how you present yourself. Stand up straight, hold your head high, and smile. The confidence you exude can make people really notice and admire you. Pick colors that are good for your skin tone and cuts that are more flattering. Just because tight fitting clothes or more billowing silhouettes are in doesn’t mean you have to wear those things if you know those aren’t right for your body type!
Remember: you are your own beauty! You choose what you put on your body and what makes you feel good. Don’t be afraid to flaunt what you’ve got and be proud!
