Here we’re continuing on from last week’s Style Trend Tuesday post on “Being a Stylish Woman” and the habits they consistently apply to achieve that.
Always remember, being and looking stylish is highly individual and very much ‘in the eye of the beholder’. Establishing your own personal style goals is so important, and this is something that evolves beautifully over time and through the different seasons of life.
Here are my other five specific tips to becoming a stylish woman! I originally wrote these many years ago, but they are timeless (you may have seen them on my website pop-up tip sheet!).
So… don’t stay in a Kath & Kim style rut – book in with me and let’s begin the journey toward becoming your version of effortlessly stylish.
1. Stylish women always dress very well for, and regardless of their age.
We’ve all heard the statement, ‘mutton dressed as lamb’. This never seems to enter into the minds or
wardrobes of women who embrace good habits of style. They reflect their age gracefully through their garments, but in a youthful way while expressing appropriate taste. These women adopt trends to suit who they are, but never a slave to fashion.
2. Stylish women take the time to groom themselves
as part of their daily ritual.
These women love to regularly maintain well-kept hair with an ‘up to date’ modern look. They’ll take care of their skin and commonly spend a significant amount of money on it. They’ll often, and if needed look after their teeth by having them whitened. But women, in general, see these grooming habits as a significant part of their health care, and not just for outward appearance.
3. Stylish women never ‘overdo’, overwhelm or clutter their outward appearance.
We’ve all heard the term ‘less is more’! Women who adopt good style habits ‘get’ this very well. They never seem to look as though they need much more when they leave for the day. They ‘do’ understated extremely well and it suits them. Clothes are worn and drape effortlessly, and accessories are adorned to compliment the outfit just right. This projects class and elegance and we often find ourselves wanting to look like them.
4. Stylish women know how to apply the correct amount of makeup for themselves.
‘Less is more’ rather than thick fake looking makeup, and stylish women love that it takes them from plain to glamorous. According to research, we’re taken more seriously when we wear light amounts of makeup. It’s the attention to detail that says you care about your outward presentation.
5. Stylish women have the ‘knack’ for dressing appropriately for every occasion.
These women successfully convey the right message through their garments regardless of the occasion. Their outward presentation communicates well to others in the room before they even speak.
