Tips and Advice: Style Skills Every Woman Should Have

There is some knowledge that every woman should be clued in on, some skills that are necessary in the style department. A few simple tricks will pay huge dividends if you have them figured out. So, I am going to tell you exactly what they are!

IÂ’m happy to share this advice with you. It has come in handy over the years for me. LetÂ’s develop some amazing style skills, shall we? Read on.

Walk in high heels. I cannot express how supremely important it is to be able to walk in your stilettos/pumps/wedges/etc. There is nothing less cute that a girl hobbling around on her shoes because she hasnÂ’t learned this skill yet. But, fear not. If you feel unstable, here is what to do: First, practice. When youÂ’re just flitting around the house, slip into your heels and work on standing tall and walking flat. Also, buy some insanely high (and gorgeous!) heels. If you can strut in your 4-inch giants, then you can walk in your 2.5-inch pumps at the office and pull off total sophistication. Major win.

Know where to splurge and where to save. ItÂ’s so important to realize what pieces are worth spending your money on, and what pieces are not. Basically, look at it like this. If the item will transcend the years and seasons (a great blazer, perfect black pumps, classic trench, fit-like-a-glove jeans), then invest in it. If a piece is particularly trendy (graffiti-splattered garb, serious fur, military chic), then save. These on-trend looks will come and go. YouÂ’ll wear the classics forever.

Show the right amount of skin. Forty-percent. That is the right amount of skin. No more. No less. In a recent study by British scientists, they found that a woman who showed just about forty-percent of her flesh was the most attractive. For example, that means a sleeveless dress that hits just at the knee, or a one-shouldered frock that hits about mid-thigh (in case you were wondering). The study also revealed that showing any more or less actually detracted potential suitors in their testing atmosphere. Whether you are on the market or not, forty percent is the perfect amount. YouÂ’ll look classy, leave something to the imagination, but not appear too prim and proper.
Were you following along? IÂ’m glad. Make sure to remember these few style skills for future reference. I guarantee if you learn them, theyÂ’ll never let you down.
