Seasonal Vanity by Dressing for Envy, Not Comfort

Dressing for envy is pretty challenging as most people don’t have the fashion sense, money, or courage to be as bold as this requires. However, it is easier than you think if you want a pleasant reaction from other people. From using dark tones well to accessories, here’s how.

Be Bold with Colors

There are typically specific colors associated with certain times of the year. Usually, seasonal colors reflect the changing hues of the world in an effort to fit more naturally. For example, this autumn you could consider rustic browns and reds, with textures such as leather. Of course, yellow is perfect for spring and summer as it blends naturally with the bloom of the new season. Warmth, energy, and happiness are associated with these colors while also drawing the eye.

Don’t Forget About Dark Tones

While there are many lighter tones and colors you can use when being bold and daring, dark tones are also just as effective when used correctly. Usually muted for the fall and winter, fashion chooses a more understated style during the colder months. Shades such as burgundy, navy blue, and forest green are common during darker times of the year, yet will appear elegant when paired well and worn by someone with the confidence to come across as powerful.

Dressing for Envy and Reactions

A survey by OnePoll found that 47% of people wear uncomfortable clothing just so they can look good. This isn’t surprising as refining your everyday style is common these days. In fact, style has taken over many social features and has become a top priority at gatherings:

• When in a social setting, people today prefer to sacrifice comfort in order to look good.

• It is stronger at bigger events, where fashion style usually wins out over practicality.

• Most people will wear something very uncomfortable just for the sake of their image.

Accessorize to Steal the Show

Accessories have the power to completely transform your look when used properly. From chunky necklaces to oversized sunglasses,  or perhaps even a statement bag, these can draw attention and make you the focus. Some of these details aren’t always easy to carry either, so an air of confidence is usually required to pull it off. However, choose them wisely, and you will be the envy of everyone at a gathering or social event where you may even spark admiration.

Desire to be Noticed

At the very core of vanity is the desire to be noticed, though not in a desperate way. It feels nice to be envied, wanted, and respected, and there is nothing wrong with that. Although most people won’t admit it, modern fashion is all about being wanted and elevating the drama of personal style to another level. Social media, such as Instagram, has played a key role and gives you a platform. Yet, whether winter or summer, envious dressing is about how you feel.

Summary

Being bold with colors for the season will help when dressing for envy. Of course, you want to make a statement and get some reactions, whether positive or negative. All of this can come from the desire to be noticed, and there’s nothing wrong with that, considering social media.
