You wake up at the crack of dawn to get ready, hustle your way out the door and arrive still not looking the way you wanted to. Meanwhile, there are women who will come to work or an event impeccably dressed without a hair out of place, looking cool, calm and effortless. Like they woke up like that, and you wonder what is it that makes these women look put together every day? What is their secret? Well, I've got you covered, for the purpose of this post, I’ve assembled a list of my favourite “secrets” that get women looking – and feeling put together.
It’s not about being perfect. It’s about using a few hacks to make you look put together so you feel ready to take on the day. Here are some simple secrets that can help you look put together:
They wear clothes that flatter their body
Well-dressed women know what looks good on them and stick with it. They aren't afraid to incorporate trends, but they have a personal style that's all their own. They know what makes them feel most like themselves and they build their wardrobes around those pieces. This doesn't mean they wear the same outfit every day. These women are anything but boring — they just use each piece as an opportunity to express their unique sense of style and create outfits that make them feel great about themselves
They make sure their clothes fit them correctly
"A well-fitted outfit can flatter a person's figure, while an ill-fitting outfit can create a sloppy appearance."
You should make sure your clothes are clean, well cared for and fit properly before they wear them. A well-fitted outfit can flatter your figure, while an ill-fitting outfit can create a sloppy appearance. Clothing that is too large can cause a person to look bigger than they really are, while clothing that is too small can be unflattering as well. Clothes that are too short or too long may also cause unflattering results. sized. If you have pants that pull at the waistband when you sit down or shirts that gape open at the chest area, you're going to look sloppy — no matter how stylish your outfit may be. A good tailor can work magic on your existing wardrobe; if you need to invest in some new staples, make sure you get pieces that fit well right off the rack.
They always wear the right undergarments
A well-dressed woman wears the right undergarments for whatever top or dress she puts on, she'd never wear a strapless bra under a spaghetti strap dress or vice versa. A great bra fits well and makes you look slim and shapely. Many women make the mistake of wearing the wrong style of bra under their clothes, and this can take an outfit from fabulous to frumpy. A rule of thumb: If your bra is showing, it's the wrong bra. This is true whether we're talking about straps peeking out from a tank top or a full-on lace bra clearly visible through a thin blouse. It's always best to choose a bra that works with your outfit and doesn't draw attention to itself. In general, stick to either nude or black bras under light-coloured tops and white bras under dark tops. Strapless bras are also handy, and some come with removable straps these days. Plus, there are lots of new adhesive bra styles available for those tricky strapless or backless outfits!
They have a signature scent
What's the first thing you notice when you walk into a room? A great perfume, of course. While you might think that some people are born with the uncanny ability to have a signature fragrance, it's really all about knowing what works for you and finding a scent that best complements your personal style. A signature scent can make you feel more confident, which can give you an extra pep in your step as you're finishing getting ready for the day. Your fragrance will also make it easy for others to recognize you when they catch a whiff of the scent. They may not realize it's coming from what you're wearing, but they will know that the person who smells great is you. Many people keep a signature scent for decades. It doesn’t have to be anything expensive or fancy; it just needs to be something you really like.
Their closet is organized
"There are many ways to organize your closet. You can put the items in order by season, colour, or frequency of use."
To be well dressed, you need to have a closet that’s organized in such a way that it’s easy to find what you want and put together a good outfit. First, you need a place for everything. It’s important to have a place for each item in your closet. If you don’t, you can rack up quite a mess in no time. You should also make sure that you know where every item is.

Also, they will add a decorative touch to your closet if you choose ones with colours or prints that go with your decor scheme.
Their clothes are clean and well cared for
The appearance of a woman's clothing on her person speaks volumes about her. It could be the reason she gets the job or not. It could be the reason she gets that second date or not. It is important for you to make sure your clothes are clean and well cared for if you want to show that you have good taste and are responsible. You should wash your clothes immediately after wearing them if there is a possibility of stains from food or drinks. This will allow you to treat stains before they set in. You should also wash their clothes after working out, as sweat stains can be difficult to get out after they have dried up.
They plan ahead, and make sure their key pieces are ready to go when they need them
They never wait until the last minute to make sure everything fits, or that their favourite pair of shoes still works with the outfit. Their wardrobes are full of pieces that can be mixed and matched to create endless (and appropriate) variations. And they always have a go-to look for occasions when their usual style just won't work. The key is knowing which pieces belong in your wardrobe and how to get the most mileage from each one. Naturally, this depends on what you do for a living, but there are some basics every woman should own that will serve her well in any situation she may face.

"Accessories such as jewellery, sunglasses and hats can really lift an outfit from drab to fab!"
A well-dressed woman is one who has the perfect accessories for every occasion. An accessory can make any outfit pop, and it can even turn it from drab to fab! And when we say ‘accessories’ we don’t just mean jewellery either – everything from shoes and bags to your perfume and makeup are all included in the list of accessories. Invest in a high-quality handbag or purse. You should have at least one bag in a neutral colour that goes with everything, as well as a bag in your favourite colour. There are many popular brands that make high-quality designer bags and purses for women who are always well dressed.
Bags and purses are not just for storing your personal belongings, they can also be a fashion statement if you pick the right one. For example, invest in a small clutch bag if you want to look chic and elegant at a party, or use a messenger bag when you have to carry many items with you.

Your makeup bag should be armed with the basics at all times, just in case you need to do some touch-ups.

It’s knowing in your heart that you can make it through the day, the week, even though sometimes it will be hard.
