Clothes Tips and Suggestions
Find your own personal style and don't be too obsessed with what's in fashion at one given moment; only wear things that suit you and flatter your shape. Just because you see an outfit that looks amazing on someone else it doesn't mean it will suit you as well!!
Black Dresses (LBD)
Every girl should have one as it is a classic timepiece. I'd say invest one right now! Navy/Inkblue dresses also exude sophistication paired with black accessories.
Leggings
The bright-coloured ones always makes a statement, so wear these ones in the summer!
However, you should never ever, ever wear them as a replacement for a skirt or shorts - not a good idea. No-one likes a camel toe on display.
No! Never, ever wear leggings! I think they look awful. I wouldn't be seen dead in them. Wear quirky tights instead. seconded. agree.
Jeans
Go with anything casual or smart, If you don't own any.. you should.
Darker denim/black jeans go better with the formal look. A flared leg is much more in season for this half of the year, while skinnys are slowly making their way out. Buying an all-rounder will mean only a pair is necessary. When you buy denim, you pay for the quality; the more you spend, the longer they'll last. Keep that in mind as you buy them.
However I'd like to mention that you can get some great jeans from Topman that are only £20 and are really good quality (i've never gone wrong by them). I'm can't can say the same for topshop for the girls, however Topman jeans are great.
T-Shirts
Not splurging out on an expensive T-Shirt will save you in the long run; often prone to wear and tear, you are bound to get through a few. Bold colours also make a statement.
Everyone should have at least one plain black and white t-shirt in their wardrobe as they are so versatile.
Accessories
Many high-street shops around will have an accessories section, and at very cheap prices. Bold accessories finish off your look, while over doing it can ruin it. Statement jewellery simply adds to the eye-catching look so many strive for, and it can come in at a budget. Bright plastics used in high-street accessories are perfect due to their glossy, sharp finish, though metallic pieces are still brilliant at catching the light.
Just remember that when you buy an item, you pay for the quality, so if the item will be in style for a few seasons, then perhaps you should spend that bit more.
Many towns and cities have markets, which have a accessory stall, selling cheap jewellery where you can often find some nice pieces for very cheap! Accessorising fits perfectly into the trend of folklore this winter, so go crazy with tassles, prints and coloured jewellery. Recycle all you have.
Also, have a look around your local charity shops for accessories. I've found some cool stuff in there. You won't see loads of other people with the same necklace as you either.
