We all love to feel glamorous, but the demands of modern life barely give us enough to juggle work, family obligations and everything else that we have to do. There just isnât enough time! But there are a few easy little tricks you can do to elevate any outfit to catwalk worthy heights.
To help out all busy ladies, here are seven surefire ways to glam up your look.
1. Always Carry a Pair of Sunglasses With You
It is amazing the difference that a pair of shades can make. As well as hiding dark circles and other facial sins, sunglasses are timelessly cool. All the biggest celebrities and style icons utilize sunglasses to add mystery and glamour to even the most casual outfits. Think Victoria Beckham at the airport in sweatpants and shades. One cool way to glam up your look using sunglasses is to use them as an accessory to hold up your hair, even on rainy or cloudy days.
2. Add Hair Extensions for the Instant Length and Volume
Finding the time to get the stylist once a week, or even to just wash and blow-dry regularly at home, can be very difficult. One easy method to glam up your hair, however, is by using hair extension. Extensions look great when your hair is up or down and are completely undetectable. There are different options for extensions, but try to choose extensions that are long-lasting and still allow you to care and treat your hair as normal. Hair extensions add instant length and volume to your hair and can also provide highlights and lowlights without having to dye your natural hair.
3. Use Accessories for a Splash of Color
The great thing about accessories is that they enable you effortlessly to glam up any outfit. Whether you are going for dinner in your favorite LBD or dressing for a meeting in your best gray business suit, well-utilized accessories can add a splash of color and lift any outfit. A really good tip is to wear bright colored shoes or a clutch with a more conservatively colored outfit. This gives a fun twist to the outfit and reflects your personality.
4. If You Feel Glamorous, You Will Look Glamorous
Whenever you get a little time for yourself, make sure you pamper yourself. Whatever your treatment of choice, whether it’s a manicure or a facial, a bit of self-love will leave you feeling glamorous whatever you are wearing and that will boost your natural glow. We have all noticed those people in the street who just seem to radiate that glamorous energy even if they are just in sweats and sneakers. Spoil yourself once in a while and it will leave you feeling glamorous and looking glamorous.
5. Bronze Up
Whether you go for a sunbed, a spray tan or a quick splash of fake tan, bronzing up is a surefire way to have you glowing in any outfit. A tan is a great way to make you look healthy and to bring out the colors in your eyes and hair and especially through the winter months, bronzing up is perfect for creating that glamorous, summer vibe. Silver jewelry and highlights in your hair will complement your tan and will give you that âbeach dayâ look, no matter what time of year it is.
6. Combine High Street with Designer Items
The trick behind high-low fashion mixes it to create an optical illusion where it is impossible to say what are the cheaper elements in an outfit and what are the high fashion items. Just one designer piece can lift every other item in your outfit to another level. This method allows you to look your best whatever the occasion without having to splurge well beyond your budget. Choose versatile designer items that can be used to lift a range of outfits for optimal effect.
7. Dress to Impress Whatever Youâre Doing
We all remember our mom telling us to wear clean underwear in case we get hit by a bus! Likewise, always dress to impress whatever you are doing because you have no idea what life might throw up. Of course, when you are out for a run, it is all about comfort, but try putting your hair up in a loose, playful bun, rather than a straight back ponytail. Similarly, when you pop out to the store for some milk, go for fitting sweatpants that are cozy but also look great!
These days we all live such busy lives that looking at our most glamorous best at all times is practically impossible. The most important thing is not to feel pressured to try and look perfect every second of the day. It can be a lot of fun to glam up the most casual of outfits, so check out our tips and try them out yourself!
