How To Boost Your Confidence Through A Wardrobe Upgrade
There are many different ways in which you can grow your confidence, from stepping outside of your comfort zone to practising positive self-talk. However, one of the most effective (and simple) ways to elevate your confidence is through your wardrobe. In fact, 73% of people believe that the right clothing can boost their self-esteem!
With that in mind, here are some simple ways in which you can boost your confidence through a wardrobe upgrade.
Purchase high-quality items. Whether you’re revamping your entire wardrobe or just buying a few new items, investing in high-quality clothing is key. After all, this often means that the pieces both fit and look better, meaning that you’ll feel much more confident when wearing them. In addition to this, they’re much more likely to stand the test of time, meaning they’ll become wardrobe staples you can rely on for a quick self-esteem boost!
Furthermore, despite popular misconception, buying high-end clothing does not have to break the bank. For example, you can find the best prices on everything from mens shirts to designer handbags by shopping online!
Throw away clothes that no longer fit you. There are many reasons why you may have clothes sitting in your wardrobe that no longer fit you. For example, you may have lost or gained weight or simply held onto items for several years to avoid being wasteful. However, not only are they taking up valuable space in your wardrobe, but wearing clothes that don’t fit right is sure to have a knock-on effect on your confidence. Whether they’re too big or too small, they’ll likely leave you feeling quite uncomfortable, which will reflect in the way you carry yourself. As such, now is the perfect time to part ways with this clothing. If they are still in good condition, you could always donate or sell them! If you opt for the latter, this means that you have more money to spend when buying new pieces.
Wear more colours. Most people tend to stick to neutral or muted colour palettes in their day-to-day outfits. This is understandable, as it means that you can then build a capsule wardrobe of different items of clothing that pair well together in a variety of combinations without having to worry about the colours or patterns clashing with each other. However, this does not mean that your wardrobe should be completely devoid of colour, particularly during spring and summer. One way in which you can inject more colour into your wardrobe is by finding pieces in your favourite colour or shades that complement your skin tone.
Various studies have also found that wearing coloured clothing can alter your mood, which is why it’s a great way to elevate both your confidence and wardrobe. For example, one study found that wearing shades of yellow and blue was associated with feelings of contentment, relaxation and happiness.
Follow your own trends. Finally, you can also unlock your confidence by wearing clothes that YOU like. Don’t feel as though you are boxed in by the latest designs and fads or that you have to wear a certain style of clothing in order to fit in – simply wear what YOU like!
