How many times have you set yourself New Year goals only to fall off the wagon within the month? When it comes to feeling good, being stylish and gaining confidence, it is not a goal, it is a way of life!
So this year, forget setting yourself “style goals” and let style, confidence and feeling good become a “lifestyle change” for 2025.
To help simplify and get you started on this lifestyle change we have shared a few tips below. These are the building blocks for gaining confidence, experimenting with your personal style and “feeling fresh” for the year ahead.
Declutter your wardrobe: remove anything that doesn’t fit, isn’t right for your colour palette or body shape, conjures up bad memories/emotions or no longer serves a purpose in your life. Having a simplified wardrobe takes away the feeling of overwhelm and allows you to get dressed with ease.
Go back to basics and build from there: be sure you have staple items as this will allow you to build upon your wardrobe with the fun pieces that catch your eye. For example: well fitting denim jeans, shorts in a length that flatter your legs, skirts for both casual and dressy, basic tees and tanks in neutrals and your favourite colours, dress (appropriate to the season), sneakers, sandals, court shoe or ballet flat. When you have the core basics that are appropriate for your lifestyle, colour palette and body balance, is when you can experiment with your style as we suggest with the next two tips.
Play with a new print: feel vibrant and fresh by adding in a new print that resonates with your personality. This is a great way to experiment with your style.
TIP: be sure to consider your stature and opt for a print that compliments your overall frame e.g petite, medium or statuesque.
Inject a pop of colour: adding a new hue to your existing wardrobe always creates a feeling of freshness and vitality. Some of this season’s key hues are sorbet lemon, citrus green, cherry red, sea foam blue, burnt orange, soft khaki and any shade of pink or red.
TIP: when injecting a new hue into your wardrobe ensure that it is right for your complexion and compliments your skin’s undertone.
Create five flat lays: get creative and rework your existing wardrobe and create five new outfits, including accessories, shoes and a bag. Once you have put the outfits together, lay them on the ground and take a photo. By creating five looks, it ensures any last minute invites or “what will I wear” dilemmas are not stressful as you will have a catalogue of new outfits ready to wear. So much more of a “fresh feeling” than wearing the same old, faithful “throw on” outfit.
When incorporating these “lifestyle changes” remember to take baby steps and before you know it, you will be feeling fresh, expressing your style and growing your confidence day by day.
Vibrantly yours,
