Hi everyone,
Happy Thursday! I hope you are doing well. In my work as a style coach, I notice that a lot of us often made the resolutions to quit some of our style habits but rapidly revert to our old habits. Although it may be different from one style personality to another, below are the top 3 fashion habits that usually came up and our recommendation to help you put a stop to them:
1- Completely avoiding colors
If you basically live in black, this one is for you. While those looks may make you feel comfortable and confident, infusing a little color into your wardrobe wouldn’t hurt. I’m not saying that you should not wear black altogether. But we can try to incorporate at least 1 color in each outfit. You can start by testing some curveball hues like purple and orange. This year soft powder blue, pastels colors and illuminating yellow are also trending.
2- Not paying attention to proportion
With oversize style being one of the most popular trends, it is important to make a more conscious decision to balance out the proportion of your outfit. Instead of ging with clunky shoes when wearing something oversized, start styling sleeker pieces alongside more voluminous ones to really let your overall silhouette shine.
3- Investing in practical pieces
And the elephant of the room. We tend to invest our money not only in fast fashion but those trends that most of the time we can’t find anything in our wardrobe to style them with. Prioritizing investment in having all your basics and making smarter choices when splurging on those cute pieces that deep down of us we know that we aren’t going to wear or will only use once. Once you have all your wardrobe basics based on your style personality and your lifestyle; your body shape and your colors, you can, of course, buy trending pieces smartly. For example, you can start by ensuring that you can style these pieces with 3 existing things in your wardrobe (ideally 5).

Thank you Mica 🙂
This is such good advice! I am always trying to convince people to wear more colour – I'm a big believer in Colour Therapy. If you want to feel more confident, wear red (or whatever colour rings your bell). Yellow makes me feel happy, so I wear it when I'm feeling low. Black is fine, but a steady diet of black-only clothes will end up making you feel blah and invisible.
Proportions is also a solid reminder, especially if dabbling in some of the oversized looks that are trendy now.
When I worked in clothing retail, I would always ask my customers to think of 1 pair of shoes and 3 other items in their closets that they'd be able to wear with their new item. For me (since I have a massive closet and close to 100 pairs of shoes), I have to think of 3 pairs of shoes, and at least 6 items that I know will go. I rarely miss now!
