How To Be Pretty & Polished Every Day

Wouldn’t you like to look put together and polished at all times?

It sure does feel good to take a glance in the mirror and see how well your whole image looks.

Looking pretty and put together every day is one of those wonderful qualities you can master and benefit from throughout your whole life.

And while it can seem difficult, in reality, you have to know a few quick hacks to be pretty on any occasion.

And hey, just in case you wonder – I think you are pretty just as you are.

These are just some useful tips on how to be pretty, polished, put together, and stylish at the same time – who wouldn’t like that?

Are you ready to learn them all?

Let’s start with the basics.

 

How To Be Pretty Every Day With Style That Fits You Perfectly

Let’s start with one of the most important aspects of your everyday appearance – your clothes.

 

1. Wear proper fitting clothes

 

If you want to be pretty and look put together, your clothes must fit you well.

A good fit can elevate the appearance of your whole outfit!

Now, it’s not an easy task, of course… But trying out clothes until you find the cuts that fit your body well is worth spending time on.

 

2. Try the monochrome look

 

If you’re looking for ideas on how to be pretty without much effort with your clothes, monochrome style is the way to go.

A black and white outfit is perfect if you like the simple, yet chic look.

When paired with the right accessories, such an outfit always looks pretty, put together, and tidy.

You can go with casual costumes, pants and shirt combo or simply rock a black and white dress, like this:

3. Add accessories

 

Even on the days when you don’t feel like dressing up, a few accessories can make you look pretty, put together, and even more attractive.

Add a pair of statement earrings or a necklace, and your outfit will go to the next level in seconds.

Plus, it’s a good way to draw everyone’s attention away from your eyes, just in case you’re not in the mood to communicate.

4. Focus on your comfort

 

Wearing uncomfortable clothes takes half of your beauty just like that.

When getting ready for the day, it is vital to choose an outfit that is comfortable, too – just because you will definitely look better when you feel better.

 

5. Choose the right shoes

 

Even when you are in a hurry to get out of the door, make sure to choose matching footwear – well-paired shoes can tie up your outfit beautifully, and they can even be your statement accessory.

It doesn’t even matter how high or low your heels are.

High-quality footwear looks great, regardless.

6. Try a half-tucked T-shirt

 

If you want to transform your plain t-shirt into a stylish piece, do a half-tuck and pair it with a skirt or jeans.

It instantly adds more style to an otherwise simple look and makes it look tidier and more attractive (plus it accentuates your waist).

If you hate t-shirts that aren’t fitted, here’s an alternative to half-tucked shirts.

To be pretty on more casual days, elevate your outfit and make it look more intact, try knotting your t-shirt.

It is an incredibly easy way to make your outfit look more stylish and put together in seconds.

 

7. Layer your clothes

 

Ah, the clothes layering!

There are so many options to try because layering clothes is one of the best ways to be pretty, comfortable, and warm at the same time.

Put on a denim jacket or a scarf, layer a thick, knitted cardigan on your blouse, and add a stylish vest on your boho shirt… Layers will make you look more interesting, it strangely accentuates your dressing sense and makes you look more attractive.

 

8. Add a hat

 

A hat can instantly transform your look from boring to super elegant and put together, so don’t be afraid to try one!

A playful shade of your hat adds a bit of secretness to your look and protects you from sun damage – it’s a win-win.

9. Accentuate with a belt

 

Adding a belt is another, incredibly quick and easy way to upgrade any outfit and accentuate your curves (and no, you don’t have to look like a supermodel to pull that off).

Plus, it helps your clothes to stay in place for a more polished look.

If you’re willing to experiment, a bolder, statement belt can easily become a part of your unique, personal style.

10. Choose a versatile handbag

 

A good handbag can take your outfit from miss to hit in just a second, and there’s something incredibly attractive in a woman with a stylish bag (it might be just me!).

Invest in a good, high-quality handbag that is easily matched with any outfit – it will help you to be pretty and stylish on absolutely any occasion.

Choosing a black, nude, tan, or blushed pink bag will help you to look pretty & polished every time (no matter what you wear).

11. Add sunglasses to your look

 

Squirting your eyes in the harsh sun is not an attractive look, so always keep a nice pair of shades in your bag.

Bonus: stylish shades make you look effortlessly chic if you’re not in the mood to do your makeup or if you happened to sleep just a few hours last night.

How To Be Pretty Every Day With The Right Makeup And Hairstyle

Here’s what you can do with your makeup, hair, nails, and even teeth to be pretty and flawless on any occasion.

 

1. Define the eyes

 

If you want to look pretty and polished, spend some time on your eye makeup.

A neutral color eyeshadow, some eyeliner, and a gentle stroke of mascara can give enough definition to your eyes to make you look pretty in a flash.

If you want to add extra “wow!” to your eyes, you can also add some naturally-looking false lashes.

My personal favorites are falsies that are made from mink hair.

They look very similar to human lashes, and the finish is just incredible!

And no worries, minks are not being hurt in order to make these falsies.

All of the minks drop their tail hair naturally anyway, so it’s actually a nice way to reuse them.

2. Spritz on your favorite perfume

 

Of course, the perfume will not help you to be pretty visually, but a good perfume is like a final touch to your whole attire, isn’t it?

Choose a scent that matches your personality to make it a gorgeous addition to your look.

However, there’s another small, important step…

 

3. Find your signature lipstick

 

If you ask any makeup stylist about their favorite tip on how to be pretty and chic any time, they will definitely tell you to put on some lipstick.

A good lipstick or lip gloss adds a pop of color to your outlook to make it complete and even enhanced if you’re not afraid of bolder options.

Plus, dabbing a little bit of color on your lips immediately makes you look fresh and awake.

4. Pay attention to your skin

 

This may not necessarily help you to be pretty quick, but having clear, glowing skin is one of the most important aspects of your appearance.

Apply a good moisturizer and sun protection before you leave to keep your complexion safe and moisturized throughout the day.

Don’t skimp on your general skincare to be pretty and glowing all the time.

5. Fill in the brows

 

If you have emphasized your eyes + lips but forgot to do the brows, it will look incomplete.

Brows are extremely important in framing your face and making it look pretty and polished!

Invest in a brow kit and softly fill in your brows for a gently emphasized eyebrow look.

6. Tidy up your hair

 

You don’t have to spend hours styling and making your hair curly (or straight) to be pretty, but a quick hair-do will do wonders to make you look presentable and put together.

A gently messy bun, a high ponytail, or a French braid are some of the easy options that always look chic and polished, even though they’re usually messy.

7. Try a concealer

 

Using a concealer to hide under-eye circles is a small step that makes you look fresh and wide awake.

It may not feel like that, but applying concealer as the last step makes you look more put together.

I’d rather not skip that!

 

8. Prioritize teeth hygiene

 

If you want to be pretty every day, put an emphasis on your teeth as well.

A set of pearly whites can give you more confidence than you think, so opt for a good, scrubby yet safe charcoal toothpaste to get a bright and clean smile every day.

 

9. Invest in a facial mist

 

Spraying some face mist is my absolute favorite way to set or refresh my makeup and kind of make it look more complete.

On the days when you decide not to wear foundation, it’s a sure way to give your skin that healthy glow too.

You can also choose a makeup setting spray to keep your makeup intact throughout the day, but even without makeup, a soothing facial mist will help you to be pretty every single day.

10. Manicure is important

 

Ah, the nails!

Nothing says “pretty and polished” more than perfectly manicured nails. I guess this one is pretty self-explanatory, but if you don’t have time to do your nails often or go to the salon, I highly recommend investing in a gel polish starter kit.

It will give you the basic tools you need to create a long-lasting (up to 20 days!) gel manicure that doesn’t chip and looks put together all the time.

There are many colors to choose from, but if you want something that looks pretty with most outfits, a gentle pink or nude color will work best.

How To Be Pretty With a Confident Body Language

Believe it or not, your body language can help you to look better too!

 

1. Strike a power pose

 

You may encounter an occasion where you don’t feel right but still need to look all confident and put together… Here’s how to be pretty when that happens!

Find a safe place where no one can see you and stand in a power pose for a few minutes (like a Wonder Woman!).

Surprisingly, it can help you to look and feel much more collected + ready to face your day.

 

2. Stand up straight

 

Standing in a hunched position can make you look insecure.

If you want to look confident, pretty, and put together, you should also practice good posture.

Try to stand tall and straight, with your shoulders back and your chin up.

It will instantly make you look more influential too.

 

3. Smile!

 

You knew this would be on the list, didn’t you?

Here’s how to be pretty without doing anything – just smile. Even amid chaos, you can look content and pretty by simply keeping a smile on your face.

Let’s admit that even a closed smile makes absolutely anyone more attractive.

Use this power (plus, it’s free)!
