Creating a Relaxed Effortless Style
Want to perfect that effortless style that will look great in every season and through every fashion trend? Pulling off a relaxed effortless look isn't as easy as you might first think; go too far, and you can look messy and unkempt. Add too many details, and your outfit won't look effortless. Finding the right balance can be tricky; we have a few tips and tricks to help you create the perfect effortless style that looks great on women of all ages and shapes.
Quality items
When creating an effortless style, you should choose high-quality items of clothing. Choose a few pieces of well fitted, good quality clothing to achieve that effortless look. Cheap fabrics don’t work well with an effortless look. Quality clothes will not only look better, but they are more sustainable and will last for many years in your wardrobe. Everyone should be working towards making their wardrobe more sustainable by cutting down on fast fashion. Try to buy more consciously, selecting fewer longer-lasting, quality pieces that look great with a number of outfits and work for several occasions. Select clothing that will stand the test of time and look great through every fashion trend.
Avoid too many brand logos
Cluttering your outfit with brand logos is a sure-fire way to look like you have put a lot of effort into your outfit. Displaying large logos indicates that you care what others think of your outfit and use the brands to show off your look. This goes against the style you’re trying to achieve. Always try to opt for fewer branded items, and if you like branded items, avoid clothing with large logos on display. There is nothing wrong with clothing that has large logos or brands on display; it just isn't in keeping with the effortless style you’re trying to achieve.
Limit the colours you wear
Wearing too many colours can be confusing and distracting. Try to limit the colours you choose when putting together your effortless style. Ideally, you want to go for 2-3 colours for your entire outfit. Natural colours always work well and come across as effortless, avoid wearing too many bright colours that might clash together. Browns, blacks, nudes, greens, yellows and other colours you find in nature help to create an effortlessly natural look.
Go natural
Natural fabrics are generally of higher quality and hang better on your body. It is far easier to create an effortless look when wearing natural quality fabrics. Try to avoid polyester; always opt for materials such as cotton, hemp or cashmere. A womens cashmere jumper is a staple item with incredible texture and warming properties. Investing in a good cashmere jumper will elevate your everyday look and make every outfit effortlessly stylish.
Make-up and hair
The effortless look also requires paying attention to your makeup and hair. Make-up should match your outfit and portray a natural look. Avoid heavy eyeliners or brightly coloured eyeshadows, or lipsticks. Stick to muted natural make-up tones that add subtle brightness and freshness to your face; light browns or nude colours work well. Depending on the length and style of your hair, try to keep things natural; undone waves or a messy bun works well with an effortless style. Avoid very straight hair or anything too elaborate, as it won’t go well with the look and style you’re trying to achieve.
Creating an effortless look actually requires quite a bit of effort, but it's not too difficult. Once you get the hang of this style and have a few staple pieces in your wardrobe, you will be able to easily mix and match between them to create multiple effortless outfits. Effortless styles work well for most occasions; whether you’re going to lunch with your friends or on a date with your partner, an effortless style is timeless. Suppose all of this doesn't feel like your style, then don’t feel like you need to follow the advice. Always be true to what you love to wear and the outfit, hair and makeup that make you feel comfortable and confident. The best kind of style is one you feel yourself in and love to wear to any occasion.
