Clothes tend to affect your mood and how you come off to others. In that case, you want to pick clothes that make you feel confident as a person and unforgettable to others. Here are a few tips on achieving just that with your outfits;
Make sure your clothes fit
On this, I have nothing much to say other than endeavour to buy from stores that allow you to fit in before you purchase your clothes so you can take home clothes that cover you properly, especially the sensual parts of your body. Modesty is key to looking elegant.

Choose quality
The key to dressing elegantly is to choose quality over quantity. Yes, here in Uganda we have second-hand cloth markets where you can get pieces for as low as UGX5000. But those clothes quickly lose colour when you wash them, often have damage/ holes in them, and easily tear.
Next time you buy something, think about it in terms of cost per wear. If you buy a UGX5000 top and only wear it 5 times, it costs UGX1000 per wear. But if you buy a UGX40000 top and wear it 50 times, it only costs UGX800 per wear. That shows that quality clothes even though expensive in the short run, are much cheaper and you get a lot of wear out of them.
Be kin on Colour matching
An outfit of one colour like bold black is safe but we all want to play with some colours every now and then so here are a few tips to make great colour combo outfits;
