穿衣服穿的是自信。通过了解自己的长相,突出自己的长处,这6个基本方法能帮助你自信着装。

1 Nearly everyone tries to approach each day with confidence but many of us struggle to sincerely get there. In this way, you are advised to dress with confidence by knowing your look, and playing to your personal strengths. And the following six ways may help you.

Find your colors

2 The first way to dress with confidence is to know what looks excellent on you and what doesn't. The biggest deciding factor is knowing what colors look best with your complexion (肤色) and hair color.

Consider your shape

3 Knowing your body shape is another key factor. Not everybody needs to be the same size, but dressing in ways that fit your unique shape can help you be confident. Whether you're a pear or an apple shape, short or tall, dressing for your shape makes all the difference.

Play to your strengths

4 Then please consider your other strengths. Take a look at your features, like leg length, or how wide your shoulders are, and take that into account with your body shape and colors. By choosing a suitable shape for your body and an outfit in a color you look best in, then playing to your strengths, you will have a well coordinated (協调的) outfit despite your style.

Know your personal style

5 Styles that feel natural to you may not always be conventional, but you should always communicate yourself to some degree in your dress in order to feel confident. Especially in day?to?day situations, feel free to show off your personal style.

Consider the occasion

6 Another way to dress with confidence is to accurately size up the occasion you will be attending. It's not easy to feel confident when you are over or under dressed, so try to make sure you're dressed in an outfit that is appropriate for where you'll be spending time.

Know your comfort level

7 Dressing in a way that makes you feel comfortable is also important to consider. Nothing is worse than being caught out in an outfit that makes you feel uncomfortable. Consider how comfortable you are with what your outfit does or doesn't cover before you walk out the door, and you should always feel confident in the way you're dressed.
