Take care of your shoes

Stylish people understand that fashion starts with high-quality and well-maintained shoes. That's why they try to keep them in perfect condition, even if it's an inexpensive item.

What do you need to do this? Practice the following care techniques:

• Use ready-made cleaners or make your own from mild laundry detergent diluted in warm water.
• Clean the soles with a baking soda paste.
• Remove stains with a solution of white vinegar and two parts water.
• Air dry your shoes and store them properly.

Buy something special

A stylish person is always distinguished by something special, not necessarily bright and dramatic. It can be special makeup or accessories that match the tone of the clothes, bright and unique lipstick. Think about what you have of these things and what they can be combined with.

Don't be afraid of bright colors

Even if you don't like bright colors, adding a new shade to your wardrobe will refresh it and give it a new "face". Stylish women know this and understand that such changes immediately attract attention and make them desirable.

Buy bigger clothes, not vice versa

Fashion experts know that you should go up a size rather than down, as this can often change the look of an item for the better. A bigger size is also useful when buying clothes in case you need tailoring.

Plan what you're going to wear in advance

A stylish person always has a few fashionable items in stock and knows when and where to wear them. It can be a versatile pair of shoes or matching accessories that allow you to change your style in a short period of time.

Have backup options in case of unforeseen circumstances

The point is not that stylish people have some kind of sixth sense, but that they are responsive to change, always ready for something unexpected, and therefore have a backup option for "any occasion."

Study styles and trends

Your style will come to you naturally over time, with maturity, but if you want to become unique, it requires motivation, study, testing, and pushing the boundaries of fashion and sophistication. Only then will you achieve perfection.

Buy things where no one else is buying them

Stylish people are not afraid to buy things "in the wrong place" and therefore can find anything. They have a special flair when hunting for the next fashion find. This means that no store is taboo for them, and they don't look down on unpopular places when it comes to finding something special.
