TIPS ON HOW TO DRESS CLASSY

- BY USIADE ISIOMA

Having a sophistica­ted and classy style means that you can wear your outfits to work, Sunday brunch, a city shopping trip, or traveling the world. You can even go sailing while rocking this look. Creating classy outfits is about putting together crucial elements and making sure your style and confidence also shines through. When you find your personal style, you know you look great and feel confident when you leave your home. Whether you prefer bohemian, street, high fashion, minimal or classic, you can make your style look classy when the occasion calls for it. So, if you are ready to delve into this terrain, let’s get started.

FIT IS KEY

Classy and sophistica­ted clothing is typically tailored and formfittin­g not too tight, but enough to show off your figure. Skirts should hit just above or below the knee, as should your classy dresses. Classic trousers are straight, slightly wide, faintly bootcut. 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. IJEOMA

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, easily combined, and help to stretch your wardrobe. Typical neutrals are white/ beige/cream, navy blue, black, and grey.
