Easy Ways to Look More Sophisticated

Hi everyone,

If you want to be more sophisticated in your style, you will be pleased to know that there are lots of very simple fashion tips and tricks you can employ to help you achieve your goal and be a little (or a lot) more elegant from day to day…

Tuck in your shirt

Have you ever wondered why celebrities like Meghan Markle and Vanessa Hudgens are rarely seen with their shirts hanging out? It’s because an untucked shirt looks untidy, and by simply tucking in either the front (a French tuck) or all of your shirt, you can instantly achieve a cleaner silhouette and look far more sophisticated than you did before.

Upgrade costume jewelry

Costume jewelry is a lot of fun and it can look great, but it is never going to be as sophisticated as jewelry made from precious stones and metal. So, whether it’s a gold nose ring stud, a platinum brooch, or a silver ring, upgrading from costume jewelry to the real thing is always going to ensure you look more elegant when you’re wearing your bling.

Wear classic fabrics
If you want to look more sophisticated in your fashion choices, get rid of manmade materials like polyester and nylon and fill your wardrobe with natural fabrics like wool, linen, and silk instead. Manmade fabrics are always going to look cheaper than classic fabrics, not to mention they will feel more comfortable too, so whenever you need something new, try to replace it with a classic fabric instead.

Keep it neutral

If bold prints are really your thing, then it is absolutely possible to look sophisticated in them, but it is far simpler to achieve a timeless elegance when you are wearing classic neutrals like black, cream, and taupe. Ideally, you should not wear more than three colors at any one time, although a monochrome look as popularised by Chanel is the easiest way to achieve elegance with color.

Tailor everything

Even if you buy your clothing off the peg, as most of us do, if you can have a tailor alter the clothing in your wardrobe so that it fits you like a glove, you will immediately look 100 percent better. Most clothes are made for the average body and most of our bodies aren’t average, so what we wear seldom looks perfect, but with a little tweaking, it is possible to change that and look amazing. This is why it may be worth learning how to sew for yourself.

Be confident

Of course, looking more sophisticated is not all about your fashion choices, and the one thing that will really help you to look more sophisticated is walking with your head held high and an air of confidence, so if you do nothing else in this post, learn to choose clothes you love and wear them with confidence.

So there you have it, if you want to create a more sophisticated look for yourself, you really can, and it might just be easier than you think!
