A lot of what is discussed on this podcast are tips, tricks & strategies that if implemented all go hand in hand to help improve your confidence. I’m yet to record an episode though that is as straight-to-the-point as this one will be but I think it’s needed. This episode is inspired by one of the questions I get asked the most on social media which is - How Do I Feel More Confident About My Outfit?
Not to blow smoke up my ass but I think I’ve done an exceptional job at creating so many episodes that cover so many different aspects of fashion, but I do get that as more and more episodes roll out, it can start to feel like ‘so many episodes’, which doesn’t make it easy when it comes to knowing where to begin if all you want to do is feel more confident about your outfit.
With that in mind, I’m going to treat this episode as a road map of sorts or like a mini table of contents. I’ll be listing what I believe are the five best ways to ensure you are 100% certain about your outfits and I’ll go ahead and point you to the exact episode that goes into more detail.
So how do you feel more confident about your outfit?
LEARN ABOUT YOUR BODY SHAPE
As a Personal Stylist, this will always be my first suggestion. To learn all about your body shape and how to choose clothes & accessories that flatter your individual shape, I’d suggest listening to Episode #1 - Why Body Shape Matters? first. Following this, you can then download your specific Body Shape eBook from the shop page on my website which includes examples of the exact fit & style of clothes that are recommended for your shape plus common style aims that have worked incredibly well for other women with your body shape too.
KNOW YOUR MOST FLATTERING COLOURS
Episode #31 is where you want to head next. That one is titled - Want To Know Which Colours Look Best On You? The large majority of people either look best in cool colours or they look best in warm colours. In this episode, you’ll be told how to quickly work out which colour temperature you belong too and what colours are considered to be cool or warm.
KNOW YOUR DEFINED PERSONAL STYLE
There have been lots of episodes that refer back to this one and for good reason - if you want to feel more confident about your outfit, you’ll need to know your defined personal style. If you don’t, go back and listen to Episode #46 - Do You Even Have A Style? which will give you a black & white answer to this but more importantly, how to create a defined personal style for yourself.
My final two points don’t refer back to any previous episodes or digital products that I’ve created, instead they are just two simple things that I’ve noticed tend to get neglected but make a big difference when it comes to giving you a little confidence boost in the style department.
SPEND FIVE EXTRA MINUTES GETTING READY EACH MORNING
Set your alarm five minutes earlier and give yourself some extra time to either plan your outfit or create a polished hair and make-up look. You’ve actually got to put in a little bit of effort if you want to look good (and yes, looking effortless requires effort too!)
NEVER WALK OUT THE DOOR FEELING UNSURE ABOUT YOUR OUTFIT
If you are unsure about your outfit before you leave the house, chances are that you’ll feel worse once you’re out in public. My advice here is to embrace the mirror selfie but don’t pose for it. The camera NEVER lies. If you don’t like the way your outfit looks in a mirror selfie, make a few changes.
Like I said, today’s episode was always going to be straight-to-the-point. I’ve felt for a while now that this podcast was missing an episode like this to be able to direct women to just the one place rather than them searching for FEEL BE LOOK and seeing all episodes to date when all they really want is to feel more confident about their outfit. I hope it simplifies and helps you too!
