9 Pieces of Style Advice Thatll Help You Avoid Fashion Fails At Work

9 Pieces of Style Advice Thatll Help You Avoid Fashion Fails At Work Discovering your personal style is something a lot of women struggle with. The seemingly unlimited clothing options made accessible, at least for browsing purposes, by the likes of Pinterest and Instagram can make it hard to differentiate between what we like on ourselves versus what we like on other people. Further adding to ones confusion is the abundance of style gurus preaching to us from various corners of the internet, each with a different philosophy for what women should consider their wardrobes must-haves.Cutting through the noise, one woman reached out to the FGB Community to ask for the single best piece of style advice each FGBer has received.Out of the dozens of women who responded, a few time-honored pieces of fashion advice as well as some adages we hadnt yet encountered stood out.1. You can never go wrong with black.In what is probably the most New York City-approved piece of advice of all time wea r black Black is slimming, sleek, and definitely versatile when it comes to parties, events, work and more. This hue can help you achieve every type of look, from professional to modern to sexy. (Bonus? Its even been proved to help people land jobs)2. Comfort, above all, is key.Most of us want to look stylish to some degree, or at least put together. But being comfortable is crucial when it comes to choosing what goes into your closet. If youre notlage comfortable, youre probably not going to feel your best OR perform your best, especially in a social setting in which you dont feel relaxed. Being uncomfortable can alter your entire mood and ruin your day or night. Whenever possible, try to find the comfortable alternative to a trendy look.3. Give yourself a point system for creativity.We love this This point system will work well for women who want to branch out when it comes to their personal style but have a hard time doing so. It can also work for women who are a little too comfo rtable branching out and are looking to moderate their look. You can even create your own point system based on your everyday attire. One FGBer responded This is a really cool idea that Ill admit I fail miserably at. 4. If you feel at all iffy about a purchase dont buy it.We all love to shop, which means that being responsible about clothing purchases can be a struggle. Try to be picky about which items you spend your money on, though, and only dish out the cash for pieces you truly love, feel comfortable in, and know you will wear regularly. Some women recommend investing in a few classic and versatile pieces, like a good pair of jeans or a solid blazer you can wear with pretty much anything, rather than spending your money on an extravagant dress you know youll only wear once.5. Follow the Marie Kondo method.Does it spark joy? Does it make you feel great? If not, this FGBer thinks you should ditch the outfit altogether, and we agree. If you dont like a particular top, pants, skir t, etc., why buy it? Why wear it? Wear the clothes you feel your best in. If you dont feel confident and comfortable, toss it in the donation pile.6. Wear what you can be a warrior in.Maybe your day-to-day doesnt involve throwing many punches. Well buy that. But test-driving how well you can move in an article of clothing is a great exercise to determine how comfortable youll ultimately feel in it At the very least, youre not likely to buy too-tight jeans again.7. Invest in fit. Weve all seen the person (or been that person) whose name-brand outfit loses its luster due to poor fit or negligent care. It doesnt matter how much youve spent on an item it wont look quality if its ill-fitting and rumpled. If you see an item you love while shopping but know already that it will require tailoring, consider that part of the up-front expense.8. Dont forget to invest in what goes underneath your clothes, too. Bras and undergarments matter as much for comfort and confidence as what you layer o n top of them9. Remember rules were made to be broken.Which kind of defeats the purpose of this post, but we love it anyway. A twist on this piece of advice we also love make your own rules. Dont listen to others opinions on what you should or shouldnt wear before you listen to your own opinions. Take Have a question about fashion or your career, or your relationship, or pretty much anything? Ask it in the FGB Community to hear from women who are rooting for you.
