Fashion is important. Not only does fashion change the way you look but it transforms the way you think too. Wear fashion that gives you a new power to walk upright conscious of your inner self and realise how the world perceives you.
“The secret of great style is to feel good in what you wear.”

Research says the clothes we wear affect our behaviour, attitudes, personality, mood, confidence, and even the way we interact with others. But fashion does not comprise merely the dress we wear or the accessories we carry around. It is the style that represents us and reveals how we think about ourselves and others. Our individuality is splayed across our choices and augments our confidence with the kind of trendy styles we pick up. Let’s see how to be fashionable to perk up your self-perception.
Pick the right colour
Colours can affect the way you feel and impact your mood. Certain outfits can enhance and brighten your mood and bring positivity around you. Therefore when you wear colourful clothes it can uplift you and change your emotions.
For instance, yellow is noted to be the most optimistic colour in colour psychology. It sparks creativity, happiness, and excitement. Orange is an extremely bright and warm colour symbolising the colour of freedom and optimism while green is a colour that stimulates, balances, and harmonises your emotions. Add a dash of vibrant colours to your wardrobe and feel more youthful, vivacious, and serene.
Mix ’N’ Match
Fashion need not be always what is expensive and out of your budget. Elegance and grace evolve out of how you chose to portray your identity. Rummage through your old clothes and repurpose them into new trendy ones. Cut your old jeans into shorts, turn your baggy t-shirt into a halter neck top and create your own style.
People will love what you wear not for its fashion extravagance but for its simplicity. You can always find the best in an average outfit as long as you know how to mix and match your basic clothes. Give your old clothes a makeover and save the environment. Your style is the message you send out to the world.
Accessorise it
A simple and bland style often wouldn’t go with certain outfits. It is essential to pair your apparel with the right items that complement it. Choose the right accessories and have fun with what you wear and how you dress.
Pick up trendy hats, scarves or jewellery that match your taste and create a balanced look. Single out one piece to lead your appearance in terms of size or colour, then layer on more subtle accessories. Keep at hand a few go-to accessories for those moments when you’re not able to do a full outfit change and refashion yourself.
Go for comfort
Fashionable clothes need not always be skin-tight or custom fit. Wear clothes that are comfortable for you rather than how others see them. It’s trendy now to go for loose clothes, which worn in the right way can be chic and cute too. Go for baggy pants, untucked shirts, sassy easy-fitting jeans or breezy trapeze frock to unwind your stress.
Choose the right material that can make you feel comfy, casual, and relaxed. Be yourself at all times and perform your best in functional apparel that eases your movements and frees your breathing. Clothing comfort goes hand-in-hand with couture clothes.
Reflect your personality
Wear outfits that illuminate your personality. Fashion represents your history and tells the story of your roots. It fosters a sense of deep personal pride. What you wear affects your attitudes and choice of behaviour. If you feel low, emulate what your heroes wear. Research says the dress code of people whom you admire makes you feel infused with these qualities as well.
The way you dress may gain you an extra edge in your professional and personal lives. Harmonise your soul with what you wear and celebrate yourself. Try wearing your jazziest outfits for a week and see how you feel. Your clothing habits reveal whether you are a go-getter or lackadaisical person.
