How to dress classy with Match It Wear, The Basics.
Have you been wondering or worse of stressing on how to add a bit of sophistication and class to your outfits. Maybe you need to level up your style? At Match It, we thought we should help you change the game. Creating classy outfits is about putting together crucial elements and making sure your style and confidence also shines through. So if you are ready to delve into a new classy look and learn the basics of how to dress classy, let’s get started.
#1 WEAR ITEMS THAT ARE MADE OF CLASSIC FABRICS
Classic, timeless clothing made of materials that will last well into the next decade is what you should be looking to add to your essential wardrobe. Think cotton, wool, linen, and silk. These four basic fabrics will stand the test of time if cared for properly. Cleaned and pressed, items made of these fabrics tend to give off a classy vibe all on their own.
#2 IF IN DOUBT WEAR SOLID NEUTRALS
Bold patterns and prints can definitely work in a sophisticated and classy look, but you may not be comfortable with such patterns if you are just beginning on your classy style journal. Neutrals are your friend in this case. Solids are plentiful in the stores (and probably your closet), easily combined, and help to stretch your wardrobe.
#3 DON’T GO OVERBOARD WITH ACCESSORIES
Simple jewelry is the best way to go when aiming for a classy and sophisticated style. My recommendations are that whether you choose earrings, bracelet, necklace, ring or scarf make it simple. And don’t forget your shoes. Yes, shoes are an accessory! But don’t think that you can’t be daring with your shoe choices, every woman should own a red pair of shoes, and it never hurts to have an animal print to make any outfit pop a bit.
#4 FIT IS KEY
Classy and sophisticated clothing is typically tailored and form-fitting (not too tight, but you can show off your figure). Do not hesitate to take items to a local dressmaker or tailor to be altered to fit correctly. Love that shift dress at Match It, but it’s too big in the bust? That’s a $15 or less fix. Are those gray wool pants in your closet too long for classic 3-inch pumps or do you want to wear them with flats? Another $10-15 fix. Remember, good quality clothes will last you for 10+ years, and it is a small price to pay for alterations
#5 STYLE YOUR HAIR
Now that we’ve covered colors, fabrics, fit, and accessorizing let’s move on to your hair! I can’t say this goes without saying because I want to include all the basics. Make sure you style your hair. If you are wondering how to dress classy and give the appearance of sophistication make sure you spend a little bit of time styling your hair. If you are short on time in the mornings or do not like styling your hair opt for an easy haircut or a haircut that you can quickly put up.
Contrary to popular belief, classy outfits don’t have to break the bank. You do not need a lot of money to dress classy. Yes, you can spend $200 on a designer-label button-down shirt, but you can also find one of comparable quality and appearance in store. And because classic, well-made clothing lasts for years, invest in good quality basics that fit well, and that you can mix and match.
