Expert Answer

It depends on what you want to prioritize in the way you present yourself. Would you rather wear things that make you look your best, or things you like to wear? I do think selecting an outfit that works well with your skin tone is important, but it doesn't have to be the single-most important thing.

Wear darker colors. Navy, black, and charcoal gray communicate a more dramatic sense of authority and knowledge. It also helps to wear glasses and a nice watch. Those accessories are traditionally associated with a high level of intelligence.

Yes! Blazers, cardigans, and vests are all awesome additions to an outfit if you want to appear more intelligent and thoughtful. They're very "adult" pieces of clothing.

Question

What if you don't have really fancy clothes?

Community Answer

You don't need any fancy clothes to look great! A cute t-shirt and jeans makes for a great school outfit. Wear something that you love.

Question

Can I have a signature color I wear all the time? I always wear blue and black. I've stocked up on other colors, but they just don't have the same appeal.

Community Answer

Yes. Having a signature color can be really stylish. Just make sure that you have different colors, too.

How do I dress cute for 4th grade in the winter?

One really cute outfit idea is jeans, off-the-shoulder top and boots. Another is a skirt, leggings and a sweater.

Question

How can I make a school uniform look good? In my school we have to wear uniforms every day.

Community Answer

Wear accessories that fit your style. For example, if your style is gothic, then wear bat earrings and black bracelets. Or, if you're more preppy, wear a clear or pink lip gloss and a plain silver necklace.

Question

How do I dress cute in school when everyone has expensive clothing and I can't afford it?

Community Answer

Check thrift stores or outlet stores for good deals on nice clothing. Also, sometimes accessories (earrings, necklaces, etc.) can really turn a dull outfit into something special. Most importantly, don't worry too much about what everybody else has or is doing. Be yourself.

Question

How do I dress cute for school in the winter?

Community Answer

Wear a few layers of long-sleeved shirts and sweaters in the same range of a color, like shades of blue or green. For the bottoms, wear pants or a pair of knit leggings with a plain colored skirt. Also, don't be afraid to wear a cute pair of boots, a stylish scarf, or a hat. Don't wear hats in class, though.

Question

My peers always say I do not match. How can I try to match my clothes to my style without looking ridiculous?

Community Answer

The right fitted clothes can make a difference. For instance, if you wear something baggy like a sweater as your top, then try something more fitted like skinny jeans on the bottom (or vice versa). Color combinations can also make a difference. Wearing a beige sweater with light blue jeans will look a lot more put together than the same sweater with leggings.

Question

What kind of shirt and shoes should I wear with skinny jeans?

Community Answer

A frilly blouse can add some flair. Taking an oversized t-shirt and tying it to the side would look stylish. For shoes, flat sneakers or ballet flats can look really good.

Yes you can but make sure to take it off in the classroom. You should also check your school dress code in case it forbids hats.

Question

What should I do if all my clothes are old and worn out, and I can't buy new ones?

Community Answer

It’s okay to wear the same outfit again maybe try different accessories to give them new life. If you don't have much money, get some clothes from thrift stores, where you'll find some bargain prices. If you can sew, make your own clothes.
