I know you've heard it all before. How to improve your appearance and look more put together. You've undoubtedly seen advice from a variety of sources, including the internet, your friends, and influencers.
Today, however, we're focusing on the actual adjustments that will significantly alter your appearance and energy and make others notice the difference.
These are the instant changes that will have people taking notice, and you’ll feel the transformation right away. Let’s get into it!
1. Find Your Ideal Hairstyle.
Hair has an incredible power to elevate or change your entire vibe. The perfect hairstyle can radically change the way that your features look.
Whether you prefer wigs or your natural hair, you should experiment with different styles, textures, colors and lengths.
Curly hair, for example, might make you appear more vibrant and energetic whilst straight hair might make you appear more serious and polished.
Learn how to use your hairstyle to draw attention to or deemphasize your facial features. For example, side parts might make you appear older but the middle part... can be a game changer for you.
The goal here is to find your unique hairstyle(s) and use it to your advantage. A new hairstyle can completely change your appearance.
2. Take Care of Your Nervous System for Calm & Confident Energy.
Your vibe is everything. If you're chaotic on the inside its going to show. Cute outfits and makeup won't be able to hide it.
One of the most underrated ways for you to elevate your appearance and your presence is to regulate your nervous system. This will help you feel calm, collected and focused.
It will help you be present and exude a 'put together' aura that people will notice.
Ways for you to regulate your nervous system can include:
- walking,
- yoga,
- meditation,
- or even doing something as simple as your favorite hobby like painting.
The bottom line is that when you feel good on the inside, it’s impossible for it not to show on the outside.
3. Dress up for Your Body Type.
It feels so good to put on an outfit that flatters your body. But if you want to make a huge difference in how you look and feel most of the times, then you have to know your body type.
Whether you have a rectangle, an hourglass, or a pear shape,
embracing your body type can significantly boost your confidence levels.
For example, if you have a rectangular body shape, you can try to create curves with your clothes by emphasizing your waist.
Knowing how to dress for your body type will realllly help you choose the best tops, jeans, and dresses that will make you look amazing every time you step out that door!
4. Walk, Sit, Stand Like You Own the Room.
You may have heard this hundreds of times, but posture is very important if you want to change your appearance.
How you carry yourself reveals a lot about your confidence and presence. So, learn how to walk with purpose, stand upright, and sit with poise.
When you walk slowly and purposefully, each step you take whispers, "I'm in control," and that is the type of energy that commands respect and attention.
Work on your posture and see how your presence completely changes.
5. Include Cardio in Your Fitness Routine.
I'm not saying you should go to the gym every day but include some sort of cardio into your workout program and that will significantly impact how you appear.
Cardio can be a fun belly dance, 10 000 steps a day, a walk in the park.
It can help you improve posture, slim down parts of your body that you want to be toned, and it can be a fun way for you to relieve stress and improve your mental health.
6. Create Weekly & Monthly Maintenance Routines.
Consistency is key when it comes to your appearance.
The more consistent you are with your beauty maintenance routines whether it's waxing every week, nails, skin care, or lash appointments, the more put-together you'll look.
A maintenance routine will not only keep you on top of your look, but it also helps you establish a habit that guarantees you are always confident and ready to face the day.
It's all about maintaining the glow.
7. Find Your Signature Perfume.
A secret weapon for a lasting impression is your scent.
Having a signature scent can completely elevate your aura and make you unforgettable.
People should be able to say, “I know she’s here by the way she smells.” And trust me, this makes a huuuuge impact!
Whether it’s floral, fruity, or woody, finding the right perfume that complements your body chemistry can be a total game-changer.
8. Master the Art of Your Eyebrows.
Brows can make all the difference when it comes to your face. They can improve your overall appearance and offer you a sharp, polished look.
If you're not sure what brow shape is best for you, see a professional who can help you choose one that complements your features.
A well-shaped brow may raise your face and make you look younger, so don't underestimate the power of a flawless arch.
