We all know those women who always look put together. Whether they’re dressed casually or to the nines, their hair looks healthy, their skin is glowing and their outfit is always on point. It all comes down to the time and care they put into how they look and feel. If you feel like you need a refresh, it’s time to start prioritizing habits that will upgrade your lifestyle and make you look and feel your best. From finding clothes that flatter your body, to mastering accessories, and keeping up with self-care, adopting certain rituals will ensure you look amazing every time you step out the door. Here are 10 simple habits of women who always look put together.
10 Simple Habits of Women Who Always Look Put Together
1. Create Pinterest Inspo Boards
Pinterest can be a great source of outfit inspiration. Make it a habit to take some time each week (or even each month) to save outfits you could see yourself wearing. This will help you when you’re putting outfits together and can also guide you when you shop. It’s helpful to have a collection of looks to recreate and your inspo board can also act as a foundation for your future style goals.
2. Find Clothes That Flatter Your Body
Take some time to try on clothes and find pieces that flatter your body. Just because something looks good on your friend or an influencer, doesn’t mean it will look good on you. Women who look put together know what looks good on them and they stick to it. They have a personal style and they build their wardrobe around pieces that make them feel their best. A well-fitted outfit will flatter your figure, while an ill-fitted outfit will look sloppy and unflattering. Invest in pieces you know work for your body and if you’re unsure, it’s time to get out there and do some research!
3. Invest in Skincare
A consistent skincare routine will making your complexion glow, contributing to your overall appearance. You don’t have to have blemish-free skin (no one does!), but following a routine will help with premature aging and reduce the risk of clogged pores and breakouts. A basic skincare routine involves cleansing, moisturizing and protecting (sunscreen), and you’ll also want to exfoliate to get rid of dead skin cells and treat any specific skin concerns like acne or dryness.
4. Build a Capsule Wardrobe
A capsule wardrobe is a curated collection of clothing, accessories, shoes and outerwear that can be mixed and matched to create multiple outfits. It’s made up of good quality, classic pieces that are versatile and can be worn throughout the year. Think: trousers, jeans, t-shirts, cardigans, trench coats, ballet flats, running shoes, etc. Work on building out your capsule wardrobe to simplify getting dressed, save time picking outfits and reduce clutter. With a capsule wardrobe, you’ll always have pieces that work together and make you look your best.
5. Master Your Accessories
Having go-to accessories is one of the easiest ways to look more stylish. A pair of earrings can easily elevate your day-to-day look and rings are a gorgeous way to make a statement. A single dainty necklace is great for an understated look, while a chunky necklace or layered necklaces are nice when you want to look more styled. A watch and belt are also simple accessories that can go a long way. Choose a few key accessories that you can rotate through depending on your outfit. A belt, rings and earrings can completely elevate a simple trousers and tee ensemble.
6. Get Your Sleep
Sleep is extremely important if you want to look your best. Sleep is when your skin regenerates itself, repairing itself from damage and rebuilding collagen. Sleep also regulates hormones like melatonin and cortisol, which are important for skin health. On the flip side, poor sleep negatively impacts the skin, leading to dullness, under eye bags, puffiness and wrinkles. If you want to look fresh faced and youthful, proper sleep is a must. Aim for 7-9 hours of uninterrupted sleep each night.
7. Find Your Go-To Makeup Look
Your makeup routine doesn’t have to be long for you to look put together. Ten to 15 minutes is all you need before heading out the door. Even on your most casual days, applying makeup can make you feel a lot more productive and on top of things. All you really need is a good base, concealer, mascara, bronzer and blush, plus a brow product if you need it. A quick morning makeup routine will help you feel more confident, especially on your busiest days.
8. Nail Routine
Having your nails done can instantly elevate your look. Whether you prefer a neutral colour on your natural nails or love to go all out with nail art and acrylics, create a nail routine that works for you. You can go to the salon or do at-home manicures, it doesn’t have to cost an arm and a leg. If you love the look of long nails but don’t want to spend the time and money at the salon, press-ons are an excellent option to get the same look.
9. Practice Self-Care
Investing in self-care, including exercise, healthy eating, mindfulness and hobbies improves how you look and feel from the inside out. It’s important to have a healthy self-care routine as it reduces stress and contributes to healthier, glowing skin. It also helps boost your confidence as taking care of yourself can lead to a more positive self image. A healthy, balanced lifestyle also improves your energy levels, which can make you look more vibrant.
10. Nail Down Your Go-To Hairstyles
Your hair can make or break your overall look. Having a few go-to hairstyles that look polished but don’t take much time is the secret to looking put together. The hairstyles don’t have to be complicated, but they should complement your face shape and hair texture. A slick back bun, French twist, braided ponytail or subtle waves can be dressed up or down and are simple to do. Work on finding your go-to styles and mastering them for any occasion.
