7 Fashion Tips Every Woman Should Know

Fashion is fickle, but how we adore it.

The best things about fashion are also the worst things; fast-paced, ruthless, and unforgiving. There are elements of fashion that will never change and others that it simply wouldn’t be feasible for them to stay the same.

That doesn’t mean you need to go out and buy everything you’ve seen on the latest runways – that would cost the equivalent of a small country, likely wouldn’t be comfortable, and would probably look terrible on you. No offense intended, but that is just the nature of high-end fashion.

Where you need to shine is during your everyday life. Whether that means going to work, dropping the kids off at school, or attending high-profile events – the ins and outs are immaterial. You must look great doing it, end of story.

Below are seven fashion tips that every woman should know:

• Femininity is Fluid

Femininity these days means something different to everyone. For some women, nothing makes them feel more feminine than fighting the patriarchy and putting on a suit and tie – and they look so incredible doing it.

While for other women, princess dresses and high heels will always make them feel like utter magic. Whatever and however you define femininity, do it for you and no one else.

• Details Matter

If you look at some of the most stylish celebrities like Bridget Bardot, Sophia Loren, and recently, Jennifer Aniston, there is something that each one of them has in common – an eye for detail.

From accessories to shoes to jewelry – all three of these women proved that no look is complete without considering every aspect.

The details are the determiners.

• Comfort

Fashion often looks uncomfortable, and sometimes it’s hard to believe those runway models can breathe, let alone eat in those outfits. That’s not what fashion should mean to everyone.

Always ensure you are as comfortable as you can be – within reason. That means no PJ pants outdoors or corsets so tightly laced that you risk losing a few ribs. Fashion should be easy and flow with your lifestyle.

That is how we stop the crazy newborn calf videos; as funny as they are to watch, we women should stick together.

• Accessories

Accessories and fashion are like the Earth and the moon – they exist for one another and because of each other. Choose your accessories from Rafe carefully and consider the style message you intend to send.

Your chosen accessories will complete your outfit’s look and enable you to transition it from day to night in an effortless instant.

• Classics

Trends are great, but classics will always be in style. Coco Chanel knew that best.

Every woman should own all the following clothing items or accessories, and not just own these but wear them – and often!

• A Black Dress – Little or not so little, that part doesn’t matter. Mini dresses, maxi dresses, off-the-shoulder in the best Bardot way possible. Every woman should own at least one black dress.
• Nude Courts – Nude is such a classy color and it can be paired with anything from red dresses to jeans.
• Fitted Jeans – Speaking of, fitted jeans are a must for us girls. There is nothing that could ever take their place.

• Tasteful Looks

Fashion changes so often that most women are still trying to make jeans and riding boots a thing – just stop, for your sake and all of ours.

Instead of running head-first into runway looks, take time to carefully choose the pieces and outfits that would look good on you. One of the easiest fashion rules to follow is to always keep your look tasteful.

That is not a prudish tip and has almost nothing to do with modesty – it doesn’t mean you can’t show skin at all. Ankles haven’t been scandalous since the 1920s, not in America anyways. It just means you can’t show too much of your skin.

• Size Matters

Before someone tries to set fire to their phone or PC, please read the entire paragraph first. 

While there is no reason why women of all shapes and sizes shouldn’t get to wear whatever they please, there is merit to the argument of wearing the right size for your body.

All that means is that tailored fittings will always look better than off the rack – we don’t make the rules, we only follow them. If you can’t do tailored, choose a size that works for your body shape. That will stop folds and bulges from forming in all the wrong places, especially when sitting down.

In Conclusion

Don’t be afraid of fashion, but don’t be a slave to it either. Make fashion work for you. Once you get that right, your confidence will skyrocket, and you’ll look good wherever you go.
