Everyone wants to look her best. Many of us would spend so much money in
order for us to feel beautiful. However, there are times when we often
spend it on things that are not suitable for us. It is such a waste of
money when we actually spend so much on clothes and cosmetics that
aren’t even fitting to us or worse, it would even looks bad on us!
A Fashion stylist.
Is a person who knows what’s in and what’s out, what’s you and
what needs to be burned, the one who makes you look fabulous without
making it look like you tried at all. Don’t have one of those people in
your speed dial? Neither do we. No worries, though. You don’t need a
personal stylist. You just need to master these steps.
1. Find your signature style
Find a look that’s all your own based on your personality, your body and your lifestyle.
Once you’ve chosen the look that’s you, stick to it and ask yourself do they really look good on your figure? (check out blog post – style tip 2 here!) Be honest with yourself.
Once you’ve got that down, it’s time for the fun part– shopping!
2. Begin with the basics
Building a wardrobe actually starts with purging. Go through your closet
and toss or donate everything that doesn’t fit or flatter. Once you’ve
done that, you’ll have a better idea of what you have to work with and
what you need to put on your shopping list. (check out blog post – style tip 3 here!)
It can take years to build your wardrobe, but you don’t need to have
your closet full in order to rock your signature look. Just make sure
that the things you buy are the right things. Five items we recommend: a
pair of jeans, a handbag, a basic pair of shoes, a jacket and a staple
accessory such as a watch, a strand of pearls or a goes-with-everything
belt. As you continue to expand your wardrobe, think systematically:
know what’s already in it. Before you buy anything, make sure it goes
with something you already own. That way, you’ll get maximum use out of
minimal pieces.
3. Pay attention to detail
There’s a lot more to a look than just a dress, shoes and bag. Reflect
on the total picture when piecing together your ensemble for a meeting, a
date or a night out. From lip and nail color to hairstyle and even skin
tone, the difference between “eh” and “wow” is all in the little
things. If it sounds like too much to handle, then just make sure to
limit your options when you shop. Can’t afford a spray tan? Don’t buy a
dress that washes you out. Hate wearing Spanx? Find an ensemble that
flatters your curves on its own.
5. Play dress up
Experimenting with separates, accessories and trends isn’t the best way
to establish your style; it’s the only way. Rather than rushing in and
out of stores like you’re on a mission, take a Saturday afternoon to
invest in yourself and your appearance. Try colours you haven’t tried
before, and be open to new silhouettes and trends. Don’t have the time
or patience for the dressing room? Mix, match and be
meticulous until you create a look that’s perfect for you. When you feel
fabulous in what you’re wearing, that’s when you know you’ve mastered
your style.
Become a fashion stylist as a career a good place to start is to Study fashion and seek out a fashion styling internship early in your training process, the earlier the better. First of all, you need to have a good eye. Secondly, some sort of
fashion education helps, but isn’t necessary. Ultimately it is about
assisting other stylists while learning the ropes, and then hopefully
being able to go out on your own. To be a stylist you should have a certain confidence and your own
original point of view of fashion—without being too pushy, snobby or
bossy. You need to be able to stand up and handle your job and be the
expert.
- Be technically good at fitting clothing to someone.
- Be creative and have an eye for what works and what doesn’t and be
well studied about trends, designers, points of reference, your city,
your market, the market’s clients, your competition.
- Be able to direct and listen and be strong and humble.
You are your best advertising. Remember you are in the business of image
and presentation. Make sure that you always look your best. You never
know where you will meet your next client.
