You want to make an entrance without causing a scene. You want to be the centre of attention without the clown shoes and wacky t-shirt. You want the world to be watching you for all the right reasons.
Today, I’m taking a broad look at what you can do to gain glances without going over the top. How can you turn that plain ensemble into something special whilst avoiding the fashion police? Read on, dear reader, to find out how…
Switch it up
There’s rarely any need to confound expectations; your wedding hosts won’t thank you for turning up in trainers and a wife beater! That said, you could always liven up your look by switching a garment into the mix you wouldn’t normally expect.
For instance, why not try a bowtie rather than a necktie? No one said light clothes are reserved exclusively for summer; throwing on a light grey suit at the right event could really net you some style kudos. Speaking of which…
Splash of colour
Again, don’t grab your day-glo markers just yet. There are no rules to say you need to go over the top just to give your look an edge. Try a pair of bright canvas sneakers or a hot-toned blazer for your next date; you can be sure it’ll be a great conversation starter!
Traditional, with a twist
Old needn’t mean boring; take a classic garment and give it a spin through the innovation machine. Have you tried a fresh, modern cardigan lately? You’d be amazed at the range on offer at your nearest department store – who says old fashion can’t be young?!
Small, but imposing
It’s amazing how just a small change can create a dramatic difference. If you wear glasses, grab a pair of chunky frames to give instant impact; conversely, why not try a pair of contact lenses – it’s like having an instant facelift.
If you’re a fan of regular silk ties in conservative colours, throw on a skinny woolen version in a bright shade. It’s only a minimal modification, but you can be guaranteed someone will notice.
