How to reinvent your look in 8 weeks | Stuff.co.nz

Whenever you step out of your door, you make a statement about yourself. You say something about who you are, and what you want people to think of you. After weeks of telecommuting to all your meetings and working in your pajamas, you might be ready to reinvent yourself and say something new with your aesthetic. Here are a few ways to stand out from the crowd and establish a real sense of style. 

Accessorize

Accessorizing makes the difference between a basic outfit and a memorable one. Now that’s not always a good thing: over-accessorizing can make you look messy and cluttered, but a few small statement pieces can elevate your whole look. Whether that’s a tooled leather belt buckle, a stylish purse or a pair of eye-catching earrings is entirely up to you. 

Style

Fashion changes from season to season but style is forever. Style is the basic look you’re going for. It might include a signature color scheme or a particular silhouette that looks good on you. It might even be a cultural background that you want to honor and invoke. Style is classy, simple but unique to you. It is also something that can be spiced with accessories and personal touches that make it special to you. 

Flair

Developing a look is about expressing yourself, and expressing yourself is all about flair. Flair might be the way you walk or talk, or it might be the unique color of your hair. Whatever it is, your flair should express your personality and make a statement about who you are as a person. It should also be something that’s fun for you. 

Style isn’t just about what other people think of you, it’s about what you think of yourself. Even if the only person you’re getting dressed for is yourself, that opinion matters and matters deeply.
