#2 If in Doubt, Wear Solid Neutrals

#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.

Typical neutrals are white/beige/cream, navy blue, black, and gray.

#3 Fit is Key

#3 Fit is Key

Classy and sophisticated clothing is typically tailored and form-fitting.

Skirts should hit just above or below the knee, as should your classy dresses. Classic trousers are straight, slightly wide, faintly bootcut, or menswear-inspired and should be ½-inch off the floor in the back. Wide-leg pants and skinny pants in classic fabrics are also acceptable, as are ankle pants. Blazers, blouses, and sweaters should follow the curve of your waist.

Do not hesitate to take items to a local dressmaker or tailor to be altered to fit correctly.

#7 Makeup Makes a Difference

#7 Makeup Makes a Difference

If you are don’t spend much time on your makeup, focus on these three things that will make a difference.

Eyes, cheeks, and lips should be what you focus on if you only have 5 minutes.

Put on some mascara to open up your eyes, add some blush to bring some life and dimension to a face, and wear a bold lip to add a pop of color.
