    As a first step, take an inventory of the clothes that you gravitate towards in your closet. Try to get a really good idea of the things you want to wear all the time. You should also find what clothes you don't wear or don't feel good wearing. For style inspiration, find photos on Instagram, Pinterest, or whatever site you browse often. Take screenshots of the outfits that speak to you and notice if there are any style alignments among the photos. As a basic rule of thumb, a nice pair of shoes will always take you a long way.

    Look at photos from magazines and determine what styles really speak to you. Notice how each outfit aligns or if there are any common elements among all the inspiration photos. Think of how you can bring those elements that you like into your own wardrobe.

    Fashion is about the times and what the trends dictate, and what the world is telling you. But style is about you, your silhouettes, and your day-to-day preferences. Focus on your preferences and the colors and patterns you like. Dress according to your body type to express your individuality. Bypass what fashion tells you to do if it does not suit you.

    You can use accessories to be fashionable in the winter. Wear a beautiful pair of gloves, a great hat, a beret, or a scarf to dress fashionably. If you do not want to wear a super colorful outfit, you can wear super colorful scarves.

    Sure! Style is something that one acquires. This can be from a really young age or more into the adult years. This can also be affected by your surroundings, family, and peers. If you are around fashionable people from a young age, it will most likely rub off on you.

    You can still follow these steps. If you cannot shop online, ask your mother to buy you clothes that she likes, or try to compromise on clothes that you both like.
  • Question
    How can I become fashionable as a man?
    Community Answer
    Depending on the occasion, always wear something that suits the atmosphere. For example, don't wear a suit if you're building on a construction site, and don't wear sweats to a formal dinner. However, always make sure that your clothes are clean and you look smart! Don't worry about not wearing name brands, and don't forget the accessories! Accessories like watches and belts are more noticeable than you think, but don't overdo it. wikiHow has some articles that can give you some additional tips, like How to Dress Well As a Guy and How to Dress Like a Model (for Men) .

    How do you become fashionable with the clothes you already have?
    Community Answer
    Check fashion websites to see current trends, and look for some clothes you already own that match what's currently in style. Choose an outfit that goes well together (namely, follows a colour scheme or appeals to a certain style) to make yourself look more fashionable even in clothes you already have. A versatile option is black jeans; it goes well with many colours of tops.

    What do I do if I live in a boarding school and don't have many fashionable friends?
    Liv Nelson
    Community Answer
    I go to a boarding school too- on the weekends when you are allowed to go to town, buy some new clothes. This is a great way to get clothes that your parents might disprove of. If money is a problem, ask your parents for a monthly allowance (I get £30 a month). If that doesn't work, if any of your teachers/ houseparents have young children, offer to babysit. Experiment with your style and enjoy it. If any of your friends judge you, then that's their problem, not yours.
