Always being well-dressed has very little to do with having a huge closet full of luxury or famous brand clothing and shoes. Anyone who wants to be one of those people who always seems to be impeccably dressed doesn't have to worry about labels or thinking about an exorbitant budget: many other things are more important than that.
"Dressing well is following the personal taste adjusted to know your body and what values you", says Valdemar Iódice, creative director and stylist of Iódice and consultant of eModa. For the designer, feeling comfortable is a key factor for the person to be well dressed.
Therefore, the? Dress up well? You are getting farther and farther from irrevocable laws, pre-set standards or fashion-driven rules that have nothing to do with you. Dressing up is much more connected to what makes you feel good? regardless of your style, body type, age of the piece or overall look value.
However, some points may be thought out more carefully so that you are (and feel!) Well dressed. Check out some tips that will help you dress well and be flawless in any situation:

Look ideas to inspire you
Following are tips and inspirations for dressing for various occasions and effects:
To the work
At work less is more. Less information, less colors and prints; thus, more likely to be well dressed? advises Valdemar Iódice. Bet in neutral tones or choose a piece to be the color point of production.
Being well dressed at work is closely linked to the idea of adapting to the demands of attire and feeling comfortable. Within the possibilities, find the best one for you. The combination of pants, shirt and blazer is a classic for the occasion. To leave the look with your face, invest in accessories.
For the day to day
In everyday life you do not have to strictly follow any special dress code or rules and you are free to choose what to wear. Thus, when selecting the looks, Valdemar's tip is always to pay attention to pieces that value their strengths.
The most important here is comfort and practicality. Abuse flat-heeled shoes, soft fabrics, more fluid modeling, jeans and T-shirts. If you want to add a touch of sophistication, count on more refined accessories or fabrics.
To stay elegant
The blazer is one of the greatest allies to give elegance to the look. The range of colors, prints, cuts, patterns and fabrics available is extensive. Just find what suits you best and abuse the combination of blazer with pants, dresses, skirts and shorts to make the most elegant looks.
Accessories can also help with the task: bet on handbags, shoes (especially high-heeled ones), and powerful jewelry that complements the look.
To be stripped
Informal looks are, by nature, more messy. Still, it is possible to be well dressed with more casual looks.On informal occasions, remember to bet on the pieces that value you and make you feel good. Still have doubts? “Jeans and white shirt, no mistake!” Suggests Valdemar Iódice.
To be romantic
The simplest way to put together more romantic or delicate productions is to bet on dresses and skirts. In addition, choosing delicate prints and pastel colors is also a good choice. To be well dressed in this look, choose pieces of length and modeling that suit you and that value your body type.
How to dress well spending little
Being well dressed does not necessarily mean spending a lot on expensive or couture clothing. See in the tips how you can be elegant without spending more for it.
1. Invest in joker parts
The main tip for dressing well without spending horrors on clothes is to invest in joker pieces that are easy to match and can be worn on various occasions. You don't have to have infinite variations, you just need a few key pieces that will save any surprise occasion that may appear. A joker shirt, a dress, a trousers ??, says Valdemar Iódice. "Also, if the key piece is of good quality and with proper modeling, the chances of working are even greater, whatever the occasion," adds the designer.
For Valdemar, white shirt, blue jeans, scarpin, black dress and blazer are precious pieces to have in the closet and deserve your investment. These are classic items and the higher the quality, the longer the durability.
2. Bet on the accessories
To update your pieces and give more personality to the looks, bet on the accessories. Handbags, sunglasses, scarves, bracelets, necklaces and other costume jewelry help tailor productions for different occasions and give a face to those pieces you often wear.
3. Panning in Thrift Stores and Bazaars
