If you’re not sure what kind of style to develop, a fun way to start is to go through your favorite celebrity magazine and tear out pictures that speak to you. Put them all together and see where you can find common themes. Do you like the color red? Are you drawn to oversized totes? Do you like vintage t-shirts? That’s the first place you’ll start to build the unique celebrity-inspired wardrobe you desire.
Once you’ve got a starting point you can build from there. Here are my top five tips for dressing like a celeb:
1. Buy Quality Clothing: Celebs rarely walk around in clothing with rips and holes, unless they are strategically placed there by the designer! Instead of filling your closet just to have a full wardrobe, try to pick clothing that is well made. This doesn’t necessarily mean buying expensive clothing - you can find quality clothing on sales, in resale shops, or buying vintage.
2. Make Your Clothing Fit: You’re rarely going to spot a celebrity walking down the red carpet without something tailored to fit her. You should do the same. Get your jeans hemmed, get your dresses taken in or let out, and buy the size that fits you. The best clothes are the ones that flatter your every curve!
3. Accessorize: Celebrities always have a way to spruce up their outfit. The key is to pick one or two key items and make them your own. Throw on a tiara, add a chunky ring, pick out a red leather bag or a cute pair of wedges. Find a couple of favorite signature pieces that you can always go to - to make your outfit unique.
4. Focus On One Color: Pick one bold color and make it your own. Choose a cool or warm color that flatters your skin type and stock up. That way you can pair it with the basics and build an entire wardrobe that works together.
5. Throw on a Pair of Oversized Sunglasses: When outside the paparazzi rarely catches a celebrity who’s not trying to hide behind a pair of oversized sunglasses. Pick up a pair and passerbys will wonder just who is behind them!
