I always feel a bit more stylish if I have a pair of boots on, even if flat. Just wondering what else makes other feels better about their appearance.

Boots here too. I always wear flag Chelsea boots through winter and invested in a Dr Martens pair this year and they make me feel so much more together. Also a good coat - bagged a gorgeous long camel coat in a vintage shop last year reduced to £15. It's cashmere and fits me perfectly!

Oooh, for me, got to be beautifully painted nails.

Or a lovely coat.

Preferably the two together.

Lipstick and a colour on my hair. I know that's two but couldn't think of just one

Totally agree on the Dr Martens, but I do have a nice pair of Rocket Dog boots at the mo....I think its because they make me a couple cm taller.

Other than that my red lipstick from Illamasqua gives a good confidence boost.

Or freshly bleached hair. (It's naturally dark but bleached to within an inch of it's life to make it very close to white)

Yeah I couldn't pick one thing either lol

Earrings - not that they make me feel stylish as such, but I feel scruffy and "incomplete" if I leave the house without them.

This is going to sound very silly, but if I put on a "third piece" then I do automatically feel more stylish. Like a sleeveless jumper layered over something, or a nice jacket. Or a statement belt or scarf. It really works.

Heels not too high but am short of leg and just don't feel like I've made any effort in flats. Hair colour too.

My dp got me some Isabel Marant boots for my birthday they were ridiculously expensive but I adore them and I wear them all the time. They seem to make my legs look longer and slimmer, I think I will actually go into mourning when they fall apart.

Size 8 jeans. I always feel more stylish when I'm thin.

A dramatic long coat. You can be covered in shit underneath. No-one knows.

I always think a nice scarf is a boost. Well fitting clothes, if you can find them!
