We are each a walking billboard, and right or wrong, we are judged on our appearance. Because we can't have our brains on display, we can use our outfits to put out personalities on display.
Balancing the fact that we all have different tastes and ways of dressing to make ourselves feel beautiful. How boring the world would be if we all walked around dressed alike? But while we should be grateful to nuance, i believe there are certain rules every true fashionable person should follow!
Prioritize quality over quantity. Instead of having a large wardrobe with tops that may tear apart any moment, consider investing your money in quality items that will last for years to come. As you'll never see a well dressed and stylish person in shabby and worn out clothes. If you want to style yourself in a classy manner, toss out all deteriorating items and replace them with high quality items that scream class and timelessness. Ditch the flimsy materials like nylon and polyester and go for cotton, linen, and wool instead.
Define your personal style. Having a transparent understanding of your personal style is essential to look and feel our best. Once you figure out your personal style, it's important to determine your body style (apple, pear, hourglass, etc)to see which items will suit you best and compliment your look. Wear cloths that fit, always modifying trends to fit your body, shape and stay away from looks that feel forced. If you love it, if you feel amazing in it, wear it and strut.
Colors and Contrast. Although the rigid rules for the right color combination and other labels are slowly being thrown out of the window, it doesn't hurt to be aware of the right color combinations to draw attention with contrast. Knowing color combination can help you play it to your advantage and become a trend setter. Knowing color and contrast is always important to dress appropriately as per the occasion.
When in doubt, go for nuetral. Statement pieces, bold prints, and bright colors are great for those energetic days when you are all set to become the life of the party, but nuetral and black clothes are your constant pal. There are endless solid/nuetral toned items available in the market that can be paired up in creative ways to look effortlessly chic. A few typical examples of nuetral or solid tones may include, white, cream, grey, black, beige, pastels, and navy blue. You can also go for monochromatic clothes in different shades to mix them up and flaunt your style.
Capsule wardrobe and statement items. Trends may come and go but you'll never regret investing in building up your capsule wardrobe consisting of a set of versatile styling items. Moreover, no one wants to end up looking shabby because they spent hours searching for the right item. So make sure to add versatile items to your cart such as a nice pair of denim, white shirt, black T-shirt, a blazer, and more. Recognize your needs as per your lifestyle to curate the perfect capsule wardrobe.
Accessories, don't over accessorize. We all know that the right accessories are like the exclamation mark to complete any outfit. Well chosen accessories can save even the most haphazard of last minute outfits. So if you want to elevate any basic outfit and look extraordinarily stylish, don't be afraid to play around with accessories. A lesson every stylish woman should know and utilize. However, make it a point to not go overboard with accessories and end up looking too extra.
Confidence and comfort are of utmost essence to look fashionable. While it's okay to mix it up and experiment with clothes, make sure you feel comfortable in whatever item you wear. Ultimately, there is nothing sexier than confidence, so keep these style rules in mind to stand out.

Monthly Score
The Top Monthly Contributors ranking is a monthly metric indicating how users respond to your posts, not just how many you publish.
We look at three main things:
1
How strong your best post is —
Your highest-scoring post this month carries the most weight. One great post can take you far.
2
How consistent the engagement you receive is —
We also look at the average score of all your posts. If your work keeps getting good reactions, you get a boost.
3
How consistent the engagement you receive is —
Posting more helps — but only a little.
Extra posts give a small bonus that grows slowly, so quality always matters more than quantity.
In simple terms:
A great post beats many ignored posts
Consistently engaging posts beat one lucky hit
Spamming low-engagement posts won't help
Tips, comments, and upvotes from others matter most
This ranking is designed to reward
Thoughtful, high-quality posts
Real engagement from the community
Consistency over time — without punishing you for posting again
