Looking to girlboss your way into 2023? Elevating your personal style can be a great first step into the new year. Dressing better doesn’t have to be difficult or expensive; armed with these tips, you’ll soon find that looking polished every single time you walk out the door can be easy, breezy, and utterly effortless:
Learn how to accessorize
If you’re comfortable with the way you dress yourself but often feel like something’s missing from your outfit, then you may want to learn how to accessorize. A nice pair of sunglasses, a hat, or a couple of pieces of jewelry can easily jazz up your day-to-day ensembles and instantly elevate your entire look.
Aiming to wear at least one standout piece every time you dress up is a good start. If you’re not sure how to find your footing yet, accessories-wise, you can start with dainty pieces of jewelry that can add a touch of subtle sparkle to any ensemble, formal or casual.
Dainty everyday jewelry is what Honeycat Jewelry specializes in. Female-founded and women-led, this independent jewelry brand from California offers exquisite minimalist jewelry that’s easy to pair with any outfit. Their best-selling Magic Charms collection includes whimsical and playful designs that are infinitely wearable and easy to layer. You’ll find classic silhouettes in the Magic Charms collection: go for the Magic Charm Diamond necklace for a timeless shape that goes well with everything, or wear your initials (or a loved one’s!) proudly with a Love Letter Necklace.
On the subject of accessorizing better, you’ll also want to keep unseen accessories in mind. Making a habit of wearing perfume won’t just make you smell good–you’ll feel good in your chosen scent, too.
Plan your outfits in advance
It can seem like contradictory concepts, but one of the most effective tricks to dressing in an effortless way is to, well, put in some effort to plan your outfits in advance. Doing so can help you feel less frazzled in the morning, and you’ll be able to carefully consider how every element of your outfit goes together before you wear it.
You can put together an outfit the night before you plan on wearing it out, or you can take some time over the weekend to plan the ensembles you’ll want to wear for the week. Either way, doing so will save some precious time in the morning and make you feel less stressed.
Make sure that everything you wear is in good condition
Nothing makes you look shabbier and more unkempt than wearing clothes that aren’t clean and pressed. The same goes for shabby and worn out clothes in various stages of disrepair. A missing button here, a small rip there–they all add up and bring your entire look down.
This year, consider discarding any clothes that no longer fit, as well as any pieces that look like they’ve seen better days. It’s also a good idea to repair any small signs of damage quickly. Consider carrying a small sewing kit in your bag that can help you take care of any mishaps while on the go.
