2: Don’t Over Dress

Dressing like a model does not mean dressing up with all the fancy clothes in your wardrobe.

That’s not dressing like a female model.

To dress like a female model, simplicity should be your best friend. Put on simple and basic clothes that actually fit well with your body type and your height.

A basic outfit can come out perfect if you dress up correctly. For instance, you can put on an all-black outfit for the day.

All-white outfit is also a great outfit idea for a simple look.

When you have nothing much to do on a Saturday morning or if you are walking around the neighborhood or the market, you can dress like a model by putting on a skinny jeans (denim) with a plain white t-shirt, and nice matching sneakers. Simple outfit without breaking the bank. Remember it’s how you carry yourself, not how you walk.

3: Put On Sunglasses

Sunglasses compliment almost every look.
If you want to dress like a female model, sunglasses should always be on your outfit budget.

The good thing about sunglasses is that you don’t really need to buy expensive ones, for as long as they fit you well and look amazing, rock them.

4: Wear High Heels

Another thing you should not lack when dressing up like a female model is high heels.

High heels look good on women.

Wearing high heels will make you look taller. If you didn’t know it yet, wearing high heels will also make you look slimmer.

One more thing though. High heels can be painful to some people, if wearing high heels is painful to you, you can ignore them, or wear them less.

But if you have no problem with wearing high heels, definitely consider putting them on when rocking an outfit.

ONLY WEAR HIGH HEELS IF THEY ARE NOT PAINFUL TO YOU. DON’T HURT YOURSELF.

5: Became Best Friends With Handbags

Handbags give you a good outfit look. They are actually perfect for casual wear.

Before you bring a handbag with you, make sure it matches your outfits color. When buying a handbag, consider buying handbags that are more “color matching” with most of your clothes.

Go for neutral colors when choosing a handbag to bring with you. The best neutral colors include black and white.
Other neutral colors are golden and silver.

6: Wear Boots or Flats as High Heels Alternatives

Well as mentioned earlier, high heels are not for everybody. So if you are that person who often feels pain after wearing high heels, then these two are a good high heels alternatives.

Wear flat shoes or boots that nicely coordinate with your outfit style.

For a white t-shirt, you can wear a white airforce 1. Depending on the style you are rocking.

For instance for a bad girl or tomboy kinda look, try martens or doc.

For a chic kinda look, go with loafers or tennis shoes.

Other flat shoes are ballet flats and moccasins. They go pretty well with blouses and dresses.

7: Wear Skinny Jeans

Skinny jeans can definitely not miss in a female model’s wardrobe.

Skinny jeans are loved in fashion, because they are flexible with almost any outfit you can think of.

For a more casual look, light colored skinny jeans will do it perfectly for you.
When buying, try out skinny jeans before you purchase them from a clothing store, the more it fits you well, the better. Some jeans might look fit in but if you happen to purchase them without trying them out first you might end up with a useless pair of jeans.

8: Buy Accessories

The world is all digital right now, you can order accessories online and they’ll be delivered at your door.

Accessories are necessary for a stylish look.
They make you look more attractive and fashionable.

Again, no need for you to buy a real diamond necklace worth $8,000 to stand out. That’s a lot of money that can be used to buy more outstanding outfits for a couple of weeks, instead of one necklace.

Buy accessories that you can afford. I know the cheaper the accessories the worse the quality, but don’t break the bank to buy a single item. Before purchasing an accessory, look for its ratings, price range, offers and uniqueness before purchasing it.

The best or stylish accessories are in color of, gold, silver and diamond.

Jewelries that are in diamond appearance are awesome for all outfits.

Always add at least one or two accessory to your outfit. But never too much.
