4 Ways to Elevate Your Look, Being Stylish and Elegant

I frequently get asked how I manage to look so stylish and elegant all of the time. And so it is after much analysis as to what particular item of clothing or end look would solicit such compliments, I keep coming back to a few particular items.

I believe it is entirely possible to get you and your style noticed without having to resort to an accidentally on purpose ‘wardrobe malfunction’ incident.

So here they are, my top 4 tried and tested ways to get your outfit noticed whilst remaining elegant and radiating style.

 

1. Wear a fur stole

Weather its real or faux, there is nothing quite as luxurious as feeling the softness of fur against your skin! Guaranteed to heighten your look to movie star status, you will certainly turn heads by adding a fur stole or collar to your ensemble.

Instant GLAM factor

 

2. Wear red lipstick

For day or night, just by adding a pop of colour to your face with a slick of velvety red, you will instantly lift your whole look and have onlookers commenting on how ‘put together’ and stylish you look!

My favourite reds to wear are by Besame cosmetics

Caution: Red lipstick requires maintenance during the day and cannot, repeat, cannot be worn if you are planning to host a kissing booth!

 

3. Wear a floor length dress during the day

For instant envy inciting elegance, slip into a floor length gown during the height of daylight hours and get noticed as you waltz in for your morning latte.

If this is out of your comfort zone, to keep the look ‘daywear’ feeling, my tip is to wear it with flats or with lots bright coloured plastic accessories!

4. Head Wear

Be it hat, turban, hair scarf, bandana, flowers or simply a diamante hair slide, head wear will absolutely finish off your look and turn your simple dress into an outfit.

Once a staple fashion accessory worn in everyday life, hats are so underutilised these days that you are guaranteed to attract compliments with this much forgotten about style accessory.

My personal favourites are tilt hats, berets and turbans. Ok the turbans are mostly for those bad/don’t have time/can’t be bothered hair days!

If you don’t think hats suit you, I say that you just haven’t found the right one yet!

Start small, maybe with some hair flowers or a simple scarf tied in your hair, and work your way up to a full turban or vintage hat.

And as for which hat, well, just keep trying all different styles on until you find the one for you!

 

I hope these tips might give you something to think about next time your dressing in the morning and are longing for some more glamour, or maybe just a few extra turned heads to your day!
