What Exactly Does it Mean to Elevate Your Style?
What is elevated styling?
When we speak about elevating your style, we are referring to making tiny changes to your wardrobe and mindset around shopping and styling your outfits.
It’s important to occasionally do a wardrobe check to see which if your current style still resonates with you. As you go through different stages of life, you may feel the need to revamp or enhance your style.
Best Tips to Elevate Your Style Every Day
Wear clothes for the right occasion
What do I mean by this?
Buy gym clothes for the gym, nightwear for sleep, casual clothes for elevating your every day clothing, and so on. When you adopt this approach, you feel more aligned when getting dressed.
You probably have shirts you don’t like or wear anymore but you decided they could be workout shirts instead. This can be a temporary solution, yet wearing the appropriate clothes for the occasion will change your attitude dramatically and build your confidence.
Think timeless not trendy
Shopping for the current trends will always keep you shopping. I highly suggest choosing high-quality and versatile clothes and accessories that you can use for different occasions and seasons.
When you get dressed, create your capsule wardrobe, or buy new items keep in mind who you desire to be. Elevate your style of clothing by being intentional.
What are three words that define your personal style? How do you envision other people seeing you? Rather than just putting on clothes, get dressed. It’s true that when you look good, you feel good, so when you get ready, dress with intention.
Buy quality pieces.
There’s nothing worse than buying a piece of clothing, and a week later your clothing has a ripped seam, a hole, or a missing button. When you shift to purchasing quality pieces you’ll have a wardrobe that was crafted with care to last.
You don’t need to buy luxury fashion accessories to elevate your style, but you can choose the best quality. It doesn’t have to be a designer but rather something of higher quality. For instance, a dress or a top that will last longer because of its quality material.
Create a capsule wardrobe
I’m sure you’ve heard the term capsule wardrobe but if you haven’t, it’s a collection of essentials that can be used with everything else you wear. The easiest way to get started with a capsule wardrobe is to adopt a color palette.
When your wardrobe has a color palette, every item you own fits together effortlessly. With a capsule wardrobe, you can say bye-bye to those floral leggings you only wore once or that pretty shirt that just doesn’t seem to go with anything.
Dress for Your Body Shape
Dressing for your body shape is a simple change you can make to help you look your best without much effort. If you’re interested in learning your body shape, there are many tests on the internet to help you find your body shape.
How Do You Balance Comfort and Style In Your Everyday Outfits?

Some of the few ways to balance your comfort and style on a daily basis are.
- Choose comfortable and appropriate fabric materials when shopping
- Enhance your outfit by incorporating comfortable and stylish footwear
- Wear comfortable underwear
- Ensure you prioritize style before putting on any outfit
- Choose proper sizes and cuts that match your body shape.
