Turn heads with these tips to up your self-confidence.
You’ve probably looked at that one shirt or dress in your wardrobe and thought, “One day I’ll be able to wear that” or “I can’t pull that off.” Dressing with confidence takes practice, which can be even harder when you don’t know where to start. We’ve got 5 tips to make sure you’re always putting your best foot forward.
MAKE SURE IT FITS YOU WELL
This isn’t to say that you can’t wear an oversized sweater or a pair of baggy jeans, but rather that whatever you’re wearing shouldn’t be ill-fitting. Make sure your waistbands sit comfortably in your favourite pair of jeans or that your pair of shoes don’t dig into the back of your heel. If what you’re wearing fits well, you’ll naturally feel more comfortable in it.
TAKE OUT THE NASTY REMINDERS
It’s time to get rid of that ‘what if’ pair of jeans. Having a reminder that you’re perhaps not where you want to be or hope to get back to in terms of your body is just a nasty reminder that you’re not happy with yourself now. Instead of dressing for future you, work with what you have now by making sure you’re building your confidence through acceptance. Buy clothing you know will look good on you now and bring you joy. You could also take it to a tailor to get it perfectly fitted and flattering. After all, your body is constantly changing.

PLAN YOUR OUTFITS AHEAD OF TIME
Trying to quickly put together an outfit before rushing out is a recipe for disaster. Skip the guessing game by planning your outfit ahead (keeping the weather in mind). This way you can try on the pieces together, mixing and matching until you feel it’s right. This also makes your styling more intentional, which will show when people see how put together your look is! Why not earn yourself a few compliments?
RECREATE YOUR FAVOURITES
Maybe you’re a big fan of Rihanna or get your inspiration from your favourite TikTok creator. Either way, you’ve probably seen them wearing something you absolutely love and wish you could pull off. Great news. You can! Recreate the elements of your favourites by looking online or in store for similar pieces to recreate the outfits you’ve seen. It might not be completely identical, but it is a great way to be creative and get you excited to wear something different.
ADD ACCESSORIES
Yves Saint Laurent said, “Accessories are what, in my opinion, pull the whole look together and make it unique.” Adding a few rings or stacking a few simple gold necklaces can elevate even the simplest look. Sometimes having your favourite scarf or even a funky pair of socks can make you feel like a whole different person. These small pieces make a big impact, adding a bit of your personality into an outfit. It’ll brighten up your look and the added touch of thought will never go unnoticed!
