The Mirror's Health , Lifestyle and Fashion

Some people always endeavour to look good anytime you meet them. It is all about personal style.

Personal style is something that each of us has; we just have to identify it, understand it and then live it. It projects your mood, personality and you as a whole, reflecting your interests, lifestyle, inspirations and your past.

When you find your personal style you know you look great and feel confident when you leave your home. Whether you prefer street style, high fashion, minimal or classic, you can make your style look classy when the occasion calls for it.

You don’t need a personal stylist to enable you to look good whenever you need to attend a formal or social function. Classic and timeless clothing made of materials that will last well into the next decade is what you should be looking to add to your essential wardrobe. Think cotton, wool, linen and silk. These four basic fabrics will stand the test of time if cared for properly. Cleaned and pressed, items made of these fabrics tend to give off a classy vibe all on their own.

Always remember that bold patterns and prints can definitely work in a sophisticated and classy look, but you may not be comfortable with such patterns if you are just beginning on your classy style journey.

Paying attention to details is very important if you want to keep the classic vibes. They say that the devil is in the details and dressing classy is no exception. The trick to wearing sophisticated clothing is to keep everything neat, clean and simple. Make sure that the clothes are flattering on you while the colours and patterns are balanced.

All items should be free of wrinkles and colour-coordinated. Check for holes, loose threads, missing buttons or a hemline that is frayed. Don’t over-accessorise; stick with simple minimal jewellery like a pair of earrings and a watch or earrings and a pendant necklace.
