This is a 4-step method that never fails me.
Today we’re going to talk about the method I use when I get dressed every morning. This 4 step method guarantees I have a good outfit every time.
Step One: Pants/Bottoms
Start every outfit with pants first. It's the biggest part of the outfit and so easy to choose what pants I want to wear each day. Take into account what you're doing that day, and how you want to feel.
Step 2: Formality
Next choose what formality level you want to wear that day. Some pants/bottoms will make this distinction for you (denim shorts rarely read as polished, for example) but not always. A good pair of jeans can be made very casual or polished. Choose which one you'd like for the day. I organize my tops and shoes by formality level, this makes the next steps super simple.
Step 3: Tops and Shoes
Now that you've decided your formality level, choose any one of your tops in the appropriate category. If you have too many options, pick a color theme or vibe based on the pants you chose and go with that. Your shoes shouldn’t require any thought to pick after this.
Step Four: Accessorize and Fluff
Here's the fun part. Based on the vibe you picked in step 3, choose your jewelry and your accessories. Are you going for an edgy/eclectic vibe? Mix metals, use more clunky jewelry, a belt with an interesting buckle, etc. Going for a polished vibe? Use more dainty jewelry, can still mix metals if you're into it, sleek finishes, a belt with a simple buckle. The sky is the limit, have fun here.
Fluff means to just. Play with the clothes on your body. Trying tucking your shirt different ways, try rolling up your sleeves, etc. Have fun with it.
And that's it.
Talk to y'all soon!
