3 Tips to Build Outfit Confidence

When you don't know what to wear, it can feel as if the world is against your outfit. But there are some things that will help build confidence in an outfit and make people want to be more adventurous with fashion choices!

You can gain more confidence when building your next outfit by following these three tips.

 ONE: Add 5% more

On my Instagram account, I often talk about the 5% rule. The idea is to add 5% extra to your outfit every day. You can go from drag to fab and use your wardrobe pieces this way. When you put on an outfit, ask yourself: how can I level this up by 5%?

Is that a colour swap?

Does that mean you need to add a belt?

Can you throw away the old jeans that don't fit anymore?

You could even paint your nails a brighter colour.

How will you up-level your outfit with 5% extra today, and how will you up-level it further tomorrow?

TWO: Design and promote your outfit

“Your outfit is your energy”.

The way you dress projects your energy to the world, so it's important that when designing an outfit or just about any part of life for yourself in general-you take into consideration what will project out there.

This could mean wearing clothes with bold colours and patterns or going more minimalistic; however whatever outfit is used there should always be some kind of "energy" put forth because this affects not only how others perceive us but also our own lives and a way of showing up.

The outfit process isn't always easy but by paying attention one can see results almost immediately! Also, I want you to start complimenting your outfits!

 

THREE: Discover your next outfit

Now is the time to think about what your next outfit is and how you will overcome it.

Are we finally going to wear more fitted pieces instead of covering ourselves in oversized baggy clothes and hiding from the world?

Will we discover a new hairstyle?

What about a high bun, a sleek ponytail, or some waves?

Will you wear that colourful accessory that you've been putting off?

Your next outfit is waiting for you, and we want to encourage you to wear it by repeating all the tips provided in this article.

Once you discover your outfit, go back to tip number one, (Add 5% more) then (promote your outfit) then later in the night, think about what the next outfit is and repeat.

You've got this!

Remember

Simple outfit steps are the best, easiest, and most fun way to start building your confidence when it comes to your personal style, especially with outfits you already own.
