We all want to make a few changes to our appearance from time to time, and there are some well-established ways to take your look to the next level. Everything from the way that you do your hair to the types of shoes that you wear on a daily basis might seem like subtle differences, but they can have a huge impact on your overall appearance. They can also have a huge impact on your confidence! Check out some of these ways that you can use to step up your look without completely changing your style.
How to Step Up your Look without Completely Changing your Style
Shine and Clean Your Shoes
As the saying goes, the devil’s in the details. When it comes to your
appearance, a lack of attention to the details can mean that your look falls
flat or looks just plain sloppy. You can take your look to the next level by
making sure that the shoes that you’re wearing are shining and kept in great
condition. While you probably wouldn’t shine your sneakers, you should still
keep them looking clean by being aware of where you’re walking so that you
avoid mud and water puddles. You can also clean the rubber sole on a regular
basis to make sure that dirt doesn’t build up in the treads.
Part Your Hair on the Opposite Side
When you were growing up, you might have been told that you should always part
your hair in the same place. Unless you have a colic that won’t let you part
your hair any other way, you should try changing up the place where you part
it. This is a great technique for both men and women because changing the side
of your part can give your hair lift and volume at the roots, which can take
your look from blasé to beautiful.
Get a Faux Tan
We all know that rays from the sun and tanning beds will make you look older
sooner and can give you cancer, but we also love that sun-kissed glow. What are
you to do? Get a spray tan. The spray that people used to buy in a bottle would
often give skin an orangish appearance, but the concept of spraying on a tan
has come a long way in the last couple of decades. You can now get a
beautifully natural tan by airbrush tanning. This technique looks more natural
for a couple of reasons. First of all, manufacturers have refined the dyes that
they use so that there isn’t an orange look. Secondly, when you apply the dye
with an airbrush, you’re able to get really even coverage.
Add or Take Away One Accessory
If you’ve ever been given the advice to take away one accessory before leaving
the house, then you probably know that over-accessorizing is something that
moms like to warn their teenagers about. Mom’s right on this one. Wearing too
many accessories on can look overdone and fussy. Wearing seven bangles, two
pairs of earrings and a long, beaded necklace can also detract from the really
nice belt that you wanted to show off. On the other end of the spectrum, if
you’re not wearing any jewelry, you might be missing an opportunity to add some
shine to your ears that’ll light up your entire face.
Clean Up Your Nails
Jagged or dirty nails might be the first thing that someone notices about you when you shake their hand or wave at them. You should get a manicure to make your overall appearance look more polished. You don’t need to have elaborate nails, and nail trends can come and go pretty quickly. Your nails, however, should be clean and manicured at all times to give off the impression of someone who genuinely takes care of themselves. Clean nails also make people more likely to want to come into physical contact with you because you look like you take pride in your hygiene.
Fashion trends can come and go, but clean and tidy is always in style. Tried-and-true tips will make a huge difference to your overall appearance. You can spruce up your appearance by incorporating even just a few techniques because even small details can bring your appearance from ho-hum to stellar.
