If every morning you stare at your wardrobe filled with clothes and still you cannot find anything suitable to wear, if every morning selecting a proper dress to go to office becomes an ordeal for you, then yes, you are style stuck and it is time that you go for a makeover and change your wardrobe. Fashion is about attitude and you should feel confident about the way you look. There should not be any excuse like"I am getting old" or"I am poor" to become stuck in a style rut.

Fashion designer icon Coco Chanel has rightly said, "Fashion is architecture. It's a matter of proportions."

There are two golden rules to follow:

• DO NOT think being stylish means you have to break the bank.
• STYLE has nothing to do with your size. Style is about how you make the most of your shape and size.

Simple Style Tips to Follow

We give below few simple recommendations on improving your own fashion sense. These recommendations have been taken from journalist Jacqui Ripley's "The Makeover Book", the ultimate book containing practical and realistic information for the average women who needs to give her wardrobe a change. Check these out below:

• Always remember to remain well dressed even at home. Instead of wearing your regular casual clothes like sweat pants and baggy T-shirt, try to dress up nicely, as if you are going out somewhere. This gives a very positive feeling and changes your whole approach to even the most mundane household chores.
• Clear out your closet. Get rid of your outdated outfits, the clothes that do not suit you or simply you do not like them. Make space in your wardrobe to fit in your new clothes that you are going to buy, slowly, one after the other.
• Take a note of how many classic items you have in your wardrobe presently. Start collecting few more dresses which will prove versatile and timeless. Your closet should have few well cut, classic pieces and a few cheap fashionable, fun outfits that are trendy but that can be replaced with change in season or fashion.
• Your wardrobe change should be considered as an investment. Create a wardrobe that is full of must-have outfits rather than make-do ones.
• Make sure that your wardrobe has some style staples, which can be used from season to season. For example, a little black dress, a good coat, a wrap dress, denims, a classic pair of black or white pants, cashmere cardigan and a stylish formal white shirt. Update these looks every season with some fabulous fashion accessories.
• Get yourself a really great bag and a pair of"look-at-me" footwear, which will transform any outfit that you wear.
• Know your body shape. Are you a brick, pear, apple, hour glass or inverted triangle? Learn how to dress for your body shape.
• Learn how to hide your flaws and make the most of your assets. Learn how to disguise big stomachs, big hips, or a larger bust. Learn what to wear if you are flat-chested or short.
• Shop smarter. Before you shop, you should know what you want, what style suits you. Plan in advance before you do your shopping.
