Here're some helpful hints for you to look cool almost all the time:

1. Clothes combinability

It's about wardrobe optimization. You don't need a walk-in closet to look cool. Just buy mixable clothes and the final amount of combos will be outrageous.

2. Quality

Choose a certain amount of money and add it to your wardrobe expenditure each year. So as time goes your wardrobe turns more and more elegant and expensive. Another point is that one cheap piece can spoil otherwise substantial look. So mind the details. French says that a woman should be profuse in underwear, cosmetics and shoes expenditures.

3. Flattering vs. trendy

Sometimes these attributes coincide, sometimes not. If not then prefer flattering to trendy. It's strange but in this case the persons of the opposite sex will find you more interesting than if you look funny, but trendy.

4. Color

The worst of all evils is to wear brown suit with gray shoes. For the rest it's recoverable. Some of the color combinations are quite safe when others are risky. Sometimes the special training is required. If you mistrust your own powers look through fashion magazines and steal well-chosen color combinations from the best stylists. It doesn't mean that you should copy the whole outfit, just the color of it.

5. False invisibility

Sexy underwear makes you unexplainably charming even if you wear a boring and serious business suit. Buy a couple of "special occasion" sets. Throw away even the most expensive and beautiful pantyhose or stockings after the first minor run appears. Nothing to do, it's the sad reality.

6. Good shoes

Good shoes not only decorate your outfit but also give you necessary comfort to feel confidence. Carefully chosen shoes will accent your dress, compensate your height, make your legs more tempting. Good shoes will cost you not more than $100-150. If they cost more than that it means that you are buying not only "good shoes" but also a "good name".

7. Fragrance

Good scent (perfume) will add something "extra" to your image. And still it needs to be done carefully. The quality and quantity are equally important. The best fragrance could turn into repugnant odor when it's too strong. Choosing perfume mind your individuality and style, occasion and season. Scents can be floral (very feminine), fruity (in its clean extreme range mostly for young people), oceanic and green (for casual wear, for men also), oriental (for special occasions and evenings) and woody (mostly for men) but it's not so dogmatic and different variations are possible. If you don't like to exert yourself upon the creative search just read the recommendation of the maker.

8. Appropriateness

It's also very important to be appropriate to occasion. An unconventional dress can make you thin-skinned. So find out anyhow the dress code of the occasion to be suitable to it. But this rule holds true only for middle class when elite and lumpen intellectuals are indulged to be eccentric.

9. Pulled together

Not everyone will note the trendy details of your outfit. But most men will know for sure how very pulled together you are. They couldn’t tell whether it's last season or this season Prada on you or whether it is Prada at all. So use it and don't be bothered. Wear famous labels just for yourself to have more confidence and to make your eyes sparkle.
