You just have to step up your game in choosing the right outfit! First, choose your style! What kind of clothing gets your attention the most matters.

Mandatory aesthetic fit
Hopping into the trends may seem repetitive from time to time, as there were things back in the 1900s that have been brought into clothing stores. But I swear there are many new things to explore in terms of fashion that you will never regret having in your closet!
Wide-leg or Flared Jeans. These pants are made for those who want to show more of the glutes and less on the calves but play well on the overall figure as they make the silhouette look more proportioned and sexier! Just keep all the skinny jeans hidden, and don’t ever bring them back!
Cargo Pants. This gives a comfy look but still looks stylish as it can be paired with any kind of top. It goes well with a T-shirt, blouse, and a tube top.
White Cardigan. This top would pull off an entire look with dresses or skirts. It is versatile, and if you’re looking for specific styles that suit your student-friendly budget well, you can shop online or thrift in your local ukay-ukay store!
Midi/Maxi Skirt. Embrace that free, elegant, and feminine vibe! If you ever feel stiff wearing tight pants or short skirts, midi/maxi skirts come to life for you! This gives you the comfort to look good without getting sweaty on your legs!
Shoes that make you go, *sheesh!*
Dr. Martens. The shoes are very flexible as they are easy to wear and can be worn anywhere. It aligns with many styles such as y2k, grunge, alternative, cottage core, and even in just a casual pair of shirt and pants. It could be styled with or without socks, making it seem different from each wear.
Sambas. It is one of the new fashion trends that gives our girls such style and comfort at the same time. You can get them through Adidas stores or online shopping for as low as PhP 4,500! Sambas can be paired perfectly with a denim skirt or jeans.
Dunks. Do you want to change your vibe into a boyish style but still look classy? Go for dunks! Dunks go hard with baggy pants or midi jorts.
Mary Janes. Mary Jane is the answer for those who want to try elevating their whole look! It could be worn under wide-leg slacks and all kinds of skirts in the market. Matching Mary Janes with ruffled lace socks, is an elite head-turner move!
Silhouette, Colors, a.k.a. The art of the OOTDs
Fashion trends on the surface of social media, such as “wearing” versus “styling” clothes, play a significant factor in a person’s aesthetics. This includes setting a color palette for each OOTD.
Do monotone colors if you’re going for an expensive, classy look. Always remember not to exceed at least three colors in your outfit.
The silhouette or the placement of the clothing plays a big role when it comes to your body type and height. Ideas such as tucking in or matching the color of your pants and shoes create an illusion that you have a longer and bigger lower body. This is where the 2:3 or 3:5 ratio comes in, wherein you dress up your upper body in a smaller number, and a bigger size of clothing for the lower body naturally makes it aesthetic.
Accessories say it all!
Basic outfits that seem repetitive in your eyes could look entirely different with a different set of accessories! Here comes the pairing of the belt, bag, and shoes. Always remember to match its colors as it serves as the accent of the whole outfit! Different jackets can also bring a whole new meaning to your fit.
Coats and Blazers fall under formal attire, denim, and leather fall under smart casual, and a cardigan and a sweatshirt could be used for a to-go look!
Take some photos; it would fit the Instagram fit check aesthetic. But of course, to make all the magic happen, you must believe in yourself and be confident! It will reflect on your posture, body language, and how you talk, rocking that popular girl vibe!
