oh man, i'm a total fashion idiot. i'm still not into wearing skirts. actually, i've none in my wardrobe save for my school skirts lol. i can't dress up for nuts. often i just grab a t shirt and a pair of jeans and off i go. i wanna dress up and look well, presentable and not so shabby and too casual? so i need help lol it'ld be appreciated if you can add pictures if you're showing me examples 'cos it's kinda tough to figure things out without visual aid hahas

oh man i use to be an idiot, i would do the same exact things just grabbing whatever is in my room, if i was you i would try to take the time instead of rushing, also try getting some clothes at the mall not tjust a shirt or jeans but like an entire outfit, youll notice the change

=MOVED TO FASHION=

umm well, it depends what you're specifically dressing up for. (sorry, are you a guy or girl? your profile doesn't say)

an easy way to look more dressed up for both guys and girls is to wear a button up shirt.

girls

guys


make sure it's ironed nicely.

make sure everything fits

Get a semi-dressy top. It doesn't have to be over the top, but like what angel revelation said, a button up shirt works just fine, paired with a simple pencil skirt. Look at magazines; that might help. [:

cute polos?
they have all kinds of colors..and you can practically get them anywhere! (kinda)
i get mine from aeropostale for $10 (and striped for 8!)

lol i'm a girl hahas guess my username's kinda deceiving. lol erm i look at magazines but they're too hmm loud for me? as in the style

you could always grab a friend you admire for their fashion sense and head down to the mall. :)

i find magazines have styles that i'd never really come close to wearing / i don't really draw my 'inspiration' and ideas from there either.

k so the best thing is probably just to get a friend/older sister's help... try on a whole lotta things. k so i'd have at least 2 pairs of jeans... since they go with everything. then one pair of cargo pants, (white or khaki or dark green would go with a lot of tops in my opinion) a few more pants hahaa, a few polos in diff. colors/stripes, a few tees and maybe 1 or 2 hoodies/sweaters. then... accessorize. it really makes a difference. :) necklaces/bracelets, etc. hair ---> headbands? they're so cute. and shoes... i really like converse shoes.

layering the right clothes is a really cute look.

if you have plain tshirts, you can play it up by adding accessories, such as necklaces, earrings, headbands, and other stuff.

1. Accessorize! You'll be surprised how much they affect the outfit. *Belts can be manipulated in multiple ways, like to add color or to define a slim waistline.
2. Wear boots or shoes with a heel. I'm not talking anything extravagant, but the boots definitely give you a more sophisicated look than flip flops. Ballet flats are definitely in this season also, try something like this. Best of all? Flats/boots paired with jeans match with everything!
3. If you don't want to wear a skirt but still want to dress up, try black pants or these. Just match them with a nice top & you've got this semi-formal look already!
   
4. Vests are in! Outfits like this one can be paired with jeans for a classy appeal.
5. Gauchos. Yeah, so that was like last season's trend or whatever, but they are extremely comfortable and make you look nice all at once! Here's a simple outfit. I wear brown gauchos with a tank top match with a denim jacket.

So those are just some tips, but here's some general rules. If you want to wear jeans, you can, but match it with a more dressy top. If you want to wear jeans and a regular solid colored shirt, be sure to accessorize with belts and earrings! Usually, if you just want to put on jeans and a tshirt, you can get away with it by just adding the right accessories and shoes. Hope that helps?

Yes Yes, button up shirts do great things. Then comes color, and the ability to match!

um colours? wat colours match nd wat dont? =X

^ Wow. In that case, we have some serious fashion issues.
First off, black and browm do not match together, nor do red and orange.

^black goes with anything

I like to pick a color and then wear a neutral color underneath or on top of it.
Neutrals: white, gray, black.

Never wear dark colors with dark colors.
So just pick a nice color that makes you shine & match it with a neutral color

In my opinion, NEVER wear polka dots with stripes. NEVER.
And I don't enjoy a vertical striped shirt with a horizontal striped jacket over it, either.

I love cropped plaid shorts. They're classy but cute!
They also go great with almost anything!

^ dark colors work with other dark colors.

Not brown.

Vertical stripes tend to make you look fat, too. I saw this girl in my school the other day wearing vertically striped blue and green pastel pants, and it looked DISGUSTING.

very good idea!!!!!

many many wman wear this outfit!

the humans from UN come very good looking were that!

vry good pricer too!

^^hey i wear brown and black together and it looks fine

well what is your taste in colors?
what would you go for?
dark or light.
sometimes just a nice t-shirt with a logo on it [hollister,ae, abercrombie etc.]
will go perfectly with a pare of regular light jeans.
mostly everyone can pull that off.
plus sweatshirts may not be as attractive on girls than guys.
just go with a zip-up.
