Even if you have to wear a school uniform, it doesn't mean that you have to look like a photocopy of your classmates. Here's how to leave everyone speechless, when they realize how some small trick is able to transform your uniform into a fashionable garment.
Steps
Step 1. Put on jewelry and accessories
Put on some cute earrings, maybe a youthful necklace and a bracelet or two. If your school doesn't allow you to wear jewelry, try wearing colored buttons and maybe one of those woven wool bracelets made in different colors. They are easy to make and are very beautiful.
- Pin an earring to one of the ribbons on your school uniform. To do this, take a single earring and use the stem to pierce the ribbon at one end.
- Buy yourself an eye-catching wristwatch. They are useful and very trendy. Plus, they're school-friendly and shouldn't get you in trouble.
- Don't forget the hair accessories. Use a cute hair clip, colorful ribbons, bows and stylish ties. Accessories are able to completely transform your look.
Step 2. Color or cut your hair differently, and as many schools don't allow the use of whimsical colors, stick to the basic colors
If your school allows it, dye your hair a funky color. For example, you could paint a pink stripe on one side of your head. Your hair will have a unique and sparkling look.
Step 3. Choose school accessories that have style
If you are trendy that's fine, but if your accessories are too, even better!
- Try decorating your books. Scribble the lyrics of your favorite songs on the covers or cover them with interesting designs. Alternatively, you can buy wrapping paper with designs you like and use it to wrap book covers in it. You could cover your book with plastic wrap. They are easy to flip and quite original.
- Personalize your locker with posters, famous quotes and drawings.
- Use labels with eye-catching fonts or decals that feature cartoons. You can do them yourself using Microsoft Excel and sticky paper.
- Don't forget your satchel or backpack. Decorate your school satchel. Attach stickers to the zippers, use colored pens to write your name on them and attach interesting key rings. You could also ask your friends to write us personal messages. Attach various emblems, pins, pieces of fabric and stickers to your backpack to make it original.
Step 4. If allowed, wear a hat, trendy jacket or scarf to complete your look
Be careful though, you could get in trouble with some teachers or other authority figures if you wear them indoors.
Buy yourself a bag. Fill it with everything you need daily at school, such as pens, lip glosses, erasers, etc. If you're the type who always has to keep everything close at hand, this tip is for you
Step 5. Look for accessories that are allowed by the regulations, to add them to the uniform but at the same time improve the basic look
For example: if you are allowed to wear your cardigan as long as it is the color of the school, look for one of that color but that is of good quality and has an original shape.
Step 6. Wear clothes that fit snugly but not too tightly
Don't just wear tight-fitting stuff. Pair a fitted skirt with a uniform of your size to make yourself more interesting and harmonize your look.
Step 7. Try new wire hair bands or hair bows
Gather your hair behind your neck. Alter your cut every day.
Method 1 of 3: Makeup
Step 1. Make up lightly, using concealer to correct blemishes and hide bags under the eyes
Use lip balm or lip gloss and a little mascara. Simplicity makes you attractive.
- The lip gloss should be natural, pure and with just a hint of color if desired. Try not to make your mouth the focal point of your face when you go to school, as this may distract others while you speak. Also, some teachers may not like it and they may not take you seriously. Too bright a color on the lips of a very young girl is often a sign of immaturity and naivety.
- Use lip balm or tinted lip balm if lip gloss isn't your thing. Try brushing your lips with your toothbrush (make sure it's clean!) And then apply lip balm to make your lips soft and beautiful to look at.
Step 2. Don't overdo it
Don't use the brightest lipstick you can find. It is unpleasant and annoying. Too much foundation can make your eyes stand out too much, especially if you have dark eyes. Excessive use of mascara can cause eyebrows to stick together, making them look ugly. Stick to light makeup. You certainly don't want to look like a clown.
Step 3. If you are not allowed to wear makeup but are willing to take the risk anyway, put on a tinted moisturizer
Your skin will look flawless. It will give less attention than a foundation. Lip gloss is allowed in some schools.
Step 4. Go to the perfumery, and buy some makeup suitable for your age
Don't wear too much; you're going to school, not a party.
Step 5. Bring a mirror, mascara, lip gloss and foundation with you to touch up your makeup
Step 6. Remember, the important thing is how you put your makeup on
Maybe, you and your friends use the same tricks, but you get in trouble while they don't: the difference is in the application. Be subtle. There are some great wikiHows covering this topic.
Method 2 of 3: Skin Care
Step 1. After you wake up, take a shower - even if you can only get a quick one
Taking a shower in the morning regenerates you instantly!
Apply a moisturizing and exfoliating cream while you are still wet after a shower. It works great while you are wet and lasts longer by keeping your skin hydrated throughout the day. It also leaves a pleasant clean scent that does not overlap that of the shower gel
Step 2. Do not use an exfoliating cream on your face every day, as it will leave your skin itchy and dry
Step 3. Wash your face morning and night with a mild cleanser
Step 4. If you have oily skin prone to pimples, wash twice a day - and keep your hands off your face
Dirt and bacteria in your hands can easily get into your pores, and an unattractive layer of spots and / or blackheads can develop.
Step 5. Use skin care products that are suitable for your skin type
Do not use a cleanser or toner designed for more mature skin!
Step 6. Sometimes it's best not to wear too much makeup if you have skin problems
If you wear makeup for school, it would be best to take it off before bed.
Step 7. Don't squeeze, don't touch, and don't scratch pimples, no matter how tempting it sounds
If you do this, the oil will spread all over your face, attracting more dirt - and worsening the appearance of your skin even more, on which a scar will eventually appear. If possible, keep your hands away from your face.
Method 3 of 3: Uniform Tips
Step 1. When wearing a long-sleeved shirt, roll it up to the elbows
It is more fashionable. If your school has rules against this practice, forget it. There are other measures that can be taken to embellish a uniform.
Step 2. In winter, put on a pair of sweatshirts to go to school and only take them off when you get there
Step 3. Put a padded jacket over your uniform
To match it with the uniform, make sure it is the opposite color to that of the school. If your school only allows you to wear their jackets, try to spice them up! Roll up the sleeves, customize the buttons, hang an amulet on the zipper. Add buttons or other accessories to make it yours!
Step 4. Change the look of your uniform by wearing a top that fits a bit loose
You will have a crazy look. Don't go overboard by buying a garment that is twice your size. Be careful when choosing how to wear the uniform. If you take one that fits too wide, it could bring out some shapes, which would be better to go unnoticed. Try on the shirt before buying it. Check out the stores to find the kit that's right for you. Visit stores like Gap, J Crew, Ralph Lauren, or American Eagle if you have special needs. They also sell school uniforms, only their designs wear better. If you need to save money, you can go to a store or discount store near you. If your school requires you to wear specific uniforms, don't worry! Those too can be embellished. Put the shirt inside the skirt and, if you fear you look like a fool, wear a cute sweater to cover it all up. If your school requires you to wear special jackets see step number 2.
Once you've put on the shirt, you can use a headband to tie the bottom part of it to your waist, then wrap it in the same shirt
Step 5. Don't commit suicide because of the kilt
If you're dealing with the dreaded kilts, you can customize those too. Hang some lucky charms from the kilt, or replace the buttons with some brooches.
Step 6. For shoes, wear dance shoes or any shoes that don't have high heels
Yes, heels are nice to look at, but running up and down stairs with them to ask a teacher to correct your late assignments could make you take a nasty fall.
Step 7. The tennis shoes are very comfortable
If you decide to wear them, make sure they are clean. Fashion and hygiene should go together in love and harmony. Converse are the fashion of the moment. Some schools are very strict about their dress rules, but we have carte blanche when it comes to shoes. Many cute Converse are available in various colors, patterns, shapes, decorations, and anything you want! They go well with any outfit.
Step 8. If your scoula allows you to wear only black shoes, buy Converse or Vans, but make sure they are black
Your teachers will hardly notice. See also to buy some black laces. Some schools do not allow you to use the white laces included with the Coverse.
Step 9. Be stylish
Transform your uniform into a trendy piece. If the uniform consists of a skirt and a top, insert the shirt into your skirt. If you like Japanese fashion, wear loose white stockings, or wear stockings with designs on them.
Step 10. Customize your kit and make it your own
Do you have a beautiful pin from some concert? Attack it! Or maybe a gorgeous lace headband for your hair … whatever makes your uniform look awesome, put it on!
Step 11. Put on a different colored tank top or undershirt under your shirt and unbutton it
Makes you look pretty. Some schools do not allow students to unbutton their shirts. If you don't have to tuck your shirt into your skirt, replace the bottom of the shirt to add some color. The colors that are usually used are light blue, cobalt blue, white or light blue.
