Hair styles and glasses are the first things people notice about you. Do you know anyone who has oversized glasses from the 1980s? Or a hairstyle long past its due date?
Keep your look up-to-date. It shows that you are in touch with what’s happening, and open to change. If you haven’t changed with the times, it immediately shows your lack of awareness. Styles, shapes and colors go in and out of vogue, and subtle changes make the difference between a current and a dated look.
Hairstyle update tips:
Have you noticed people who always look great? They always look fashionable, without being over the edge. Chances are their hair looks terrific.
Your hair is your most important fashion accessory because it’s the one thing you wear with every outfit. In fact, we often label people by their hair. How often do you hear someone called, The Redhead or The Blonde?
When you see someone with a great haircut, discretely ask for the name of the hairdresser. If the cost is more than you expect, think of it as cost-per-wear, and compare it to any other article of clothes. A good haircut also saves time every day. You don’t have to struggle with hair that refuses to behave.
Glasses update tips:
Your glasses sit on your face and people look at your face first. Glasses styles change frequently, from large to small, and from metal to plastic frames. Even small changes to the shape or color can make a huge difference to how you are perceived. In fact, more than any accessory, updating your glasses can change your whole look.
Choosing glasses is difficult, especially if you can’t see well without them. And few people can judge the shape of their face and select glasses that flatter them.
Here’s what you can do. Ask a friend who has good fashion sense to go with you when you buy new glasses. Or consult an image consultant. When you go to buy your glasses, look for someone who is young and fashionable to help you. Wear the clothes you find most flattering, so they can see your style. Try on a variety of pairs, and don’t rush if you aren’t sure. Spend a bit of time on this important accessory, and you’ll get raves for your savvy fashion look.
