You finished middle school and need to enroll in high school. This step can frighten many first year students: you make friends with your new classmates, get to know other teachers and approach the study of much more specific subjects. While this experience might seem overwhelming to you, you can start your high school journey with a lot of grit, showing up in top shape. By playing on your strengths, taking care of your personal hygiene, respecting the rules of the school and putting your well-being first, you will be able to be flawless in no time.
Steps
Part 1 of 3: Preparing for the First Day of School
Step 1. Get enough sleep
Sleep is one of the best beauty treatments in the world. On the night before the first day of school, avoid watching TV or being on the phone and computer at least an hour before bed and be sure to go to bed in comfortable pajamas. This way, you can get a good night's sleep by reducing, or even avoiding, the risk of waking up with dark circles, bags or a corpse-like appearance.
- If you are having trouble falling asleep, try a mint or jasmine tea to relax.
- Lavender oil can also promote sleep and help you get a whole hitch.
Step 2. Shower in the evening or the morning before
This way you will feel better and have a nice scent on you. Then put on the cream and deodorant to keep and feel fresh for longer.
- If you sweat at night or worry that your hair will be a mess the next day, try showering in the morning.
- You may want to wash the night before if you tend to wake up late or are a rather phlegmatic type. If you shower in the morning, be sure to put on deodorant when you're done. Avoid others seeing you as a person who cares little about their personal care.
Step 3. Fix your hair
Whether they are short or long, style them so that you feel confident and strong. Also take into account the weather conditions. For example, if it is very windy, you should probably pick them up. If it rains, you can leave them loose.
Step 4. Be sunny with yourself and with others
The last step to looking flawless is to smile inside and look radiant. It's the most effective way to show everyone how smart, kind, and confident you are. By doing so, you will not only attract others, but you can also make the pout go away and improve your mental state in minutes.
Part 2 of 3: Highlighting Your Strengths
Step 1. Familiarize yourself with the dress code
It may happen that the school has some simple guidelines to follow. So, before choosing what to wear on day one, find out about your institution's dress code, including restrictions on dress length and necklines.
Step 2. Determine which style suits your physique best
Each build must be enhanced with a particular style of clothing. For example, curvilinear girls are given sweaters and dresses with a belt at the waist. Slim-bodied guys look good in tight pants, while more chunky ones can convey a bit of a scruffy look.
It's harder for a guy to find clothing that fits his body. If you have broad shoulders, make sure the shirt fits you correctly. If you have wide hips, try a sweater with a round neckline
Step 3. Choose a cut and hairstyle that suits you well
Even if you don't have to radically transform your image upon entering high school, it can be a great opportunity to change your look and build confidence. Choose a cut considering the shape of your face or talk to your hairdresser and ask him what style he would give to the features of your complexion, the color of your skin and the structure of your hair.
Even if you've read in a magazine or article that a certain haircut isn't right for your face shape, don't be afraid to experiment. Remember that hair always grows
Step 4. Choose colors that enhance your skin
Each skin tone looks great with certain colors. For example, cool shades go well with shades of white and blue, while warm shades go best with darker, more intense colors. Choose a shirt or dress that enhances the color of your skin.
If you love and look good with a certain color, but it doesn't match your skin tone, wear it anyway. After all, the important thing is to feel good about yourself
Step 5. Use natural makeup if you want
If you like wearing makeup, go for a natural look. There's nothing wrong with wearing heavier makeup, but it could take a lot of your time and be too stressful for the first day of school. So, give preference to lighter eyeshadow and natural lipstick.
Although it is easier and faster to apply a veil of make-up, if you don't feel comfortable without a stronger make-up, don't hesitate to accentuate it a little. Just calculate the time you need to apply it
Part 3 of 3: Choose a Comfortable Outfit
Step 1. Choose the right clothing
You will likely be tempted to dress stylish, but don't sacrifice comfort for appearance. If you feel uncomfortable, you will show it with your body and even the trendiest dress will look out of place.
The right clothing is the one that doesn't make you feel nervous, uncomfortable or agitated. Wear something else if you feel even slightly distressed
Step 2. Try on the clothes in advance
Don't forget to try on the items you intend or have chosen to wear, as well as hunting them down the night before. This way you can make a final decision and avoid running into problems on the morning of the first day of school.
- You can also try different combinations and set aside two or three, including deciding the next morning.
- Make sure you try on everything, even the shoes and accessories. By doing this, you will avoid struggling to find what you need the next day.
Step 3. Make sure there is no inconvenience
Try on what you have to wear and make sure it does not crush you, make defects or look badly sewn. Otherwise, you will be forced to fix and tinker with your clothes all day, giving the impression that you feel distressed or like they don't fit you.
- If you are unsure about something, ask a friend or your parents for an opinion;
- Try improvising a little fashion show to ask friends and family what they think and get new ideas on what you can wear.
Step 4. Get used to moving and walking wearing the clothes you have chosen
Provided they don't have any flaws, take a walk around your room or house in the clothing of your choice. This way, you will also be able to spot any anomalies due to, for example, a pair of trousers falling off, a skirt that rises too high or a shirt that irritates the skin.
- If you have to walk to school or you know you will have to move a lot, do some testing to see if your clothing is the right one.
- This is especially true for shoes, so don't wear shoes that might be too tight or blister your feet.
Advice
- Trust yourself! Regardless of what they tell you, walk with your head held high and put on a nice smile.
- Don't worry too much. While the first day of school is important, it won't determine the rest of the year.
Warnings
- Don't waste time and money on clothing to wear on the first day of school. Instead, pick something you've tried and really like.
- Don't put too much weight on clothing. While you can express your personality through choosing the right garments, this doesn't determine what you are worth.
