Do you ever feel like you’re stuck in a bit of a fashion rut? You might have great taste and clothes that fit to perfection, but something about your look doesn’t feel right. Sometimes we lose a bit of self-expression in the quest to look trendy or put-together.

Going formal
Did you know that the way you dress can actually affect how you act? That’s partly why some workplaces have super-strict dress codes. But even if you don’t have a dress code, finding your own version of sharp and smart is bound to make you confident and ready to take on the world.
A tailored blazer is an absolute wardrobe staple. But just because it’s smart, doesn’t mean it can’t be expressive. You can communicate elegance and sophistication with clean lines and satin lapels, while a bold color or polka dot lining can add some quirkiness to your attire. Choose the color carefully based on what you most often wear. For example, your blazer should nicely complement your favorite smart shoes and trousers.
If you really want to impress, go the whole way and invest in a tailored pantsuit. These aren’t just for politicians anymore. You can get seriously stylish ones in major stores. Dark colors will look killer at formal events paired with a cute top and heels, while pastel shades are the perfect match for weddings. Suits can be pricey, so shop online for the best deals.

Accessorize
Bold and beautiful accessories never go out of style. Spend some decent time and money on quality pieces which you can wear to make any outfit pop. Opals Australia have some timeless silver bangles, while handcrafted geometric necklaces can be found on Etsy, for more of a statement piece. It’s up to you how bold or how classic you go when accessorizing. Lots of people love bright colors and clashing patterns, while others prefer simplicity and elegance. Go for jewelry, hats, bags, and glasses that match your personal style, and you’ll look a million dollars!

Makeup
Many of us rely on makeup to conceal our perceived flaws or draw attention to our favorite features. But how often do you experiment with your makeup look? If you want to add a pop of personality to your outfit, your makeup can be the jewel in the crown. Nothing says confidence like a bold red lip, and a smoldering eye will always look edgy and fierce. But those aren’t the only makeup options, of course.
If you’re stuck for inspiration, why not book a consultation with a makeup artist? You can even speak with the artists in the makeup section of the department store. Explain a bit about your style and what you’re hoping to achieve, and they can give you some product recommendations and application tricks. It’s incredible how much a simple routine switch-up can change your whole look!
