How to Fix an Outfit That Feels “Almost Right”

Introduction

There are some outfits that are neither completely wrong nor quite right. When you wear them and stand in front of the mirror, there is something about the outfit that seems incomplete, but you are unsure what it is. However, the good thing is that unlike fashion faux pas, these issues can be sorted out by making just one change that completes your outfit.

The Outfit Looks Too Plain

A simple plain dress does not mean that it looks bad. There should be an accent piece in the dress that catches attention. For example, if you have a plain black kurta or a saree that looks a bit boring, you may require an accessory rather than adding more clothes. For instance, if you have a black outfit or saree, then a Silver Clutch Bag that features mirror florals and a beaded border will make it look complete.

Colours Feel Flat

Sometimes, everything about the clothes looks great, but the colour scheme of your outfit lacks cohesion. This problem is mostly observed in neutral or pastel colour schemes, which look great and bland at the same time in photographs. Adding a bit of gold can solve the problem immediately. For example, the Gold Stone Clutch Bag with ruby and emerald embellishments looks amazing against deep red, dark green, or ivory clothing. No need to add any colours to the existing outfit; all you need is one object reflecting them.

Nothing Seems to Match

One of the most frequent problems in fashion styling occurs when you love the top and the bottom but feel that they do not complement each other. It is usually caused by the fact that the two pieces were not created to be combined. To avoid such problems in advance, choose a co-ord set, for example, the Floral Print Co-ord Set including a relaxed shirt and palazzo pants. Since both pieces of clothing are created as a single set, you will not have to worry about styling them anymore.

The Footwear Lets the Outfit Down

Footwear is always an afterthought for many people, and thus it becomes the source of error. A fantastic ensemble ruined by worn-out shoes and accessories is not going to be appealing anymore. In such instances, juttis are the perfect solution to the problem, particularly when hand-crafted with all the details added to them. For example, Floral Punjabi Jutti for Women decorated with kundan and sequins on an ivory base would be able to add some flair to both saree and suit ensembles. All it takes is one small accessory to make the whole outfit look better.

Too Many Details in the Outfit

Occasionally, it may happen in reverse order. The outfit has embroidery, the jewellery is studded with precious stones, and the bag has all sorts of beads added to it, and now everything in the ensemble competes for the viewer’s attention. This is when it is necessary to restrain oneself. A saree in the form of a Designer Paisley Embroidered Saree with zari work on the borders and pallu does not need much. Just one accessory instead of several will allow the embroidery to become more prominent and noticeable.

The Outfit Feels Unfinished

This is the most difficult issue as it does not have anything to do with a single element. On most occasions, the outfit requires a finishing point, something which tells everyone you have finished dressing. This is normally solved by the last thing you put on rather than the first. It could be the addition of an ideal handbag, putting on some juttis with just enough details or replacing an individual piece with a co-ord set.

The Real Solution Is Often Smaller Than You Think

It isn't that most almost-right outfits are failing to make the right choices. Silhouette is correct, fabric is correct, occasion is correct. The problem is usually an element that clashes with everything else: a bag which doesn't complement the outfit, shoes which were afterthoughts, or accessories which are trying to do more than the outfit.

Conclusion

The habit that is worth developing is easy. Before taking apart your entire outfit to try and find the solution, consider looking for one element of the outfit that just isn't quite right. The right choice in bags, juttis, or sets that eliminates guesswork can be the difference between an almost-right outfit and one that is done. All of Gulbhahar's Collection is designed with that in mind.
