Good thread!
For me its an outfit that is pulled together, and the little things really matter. Clean, well cut hair in a style that suits you, doesn't have to be fancy. Tidy nails. (painted is personal choice), looked after skin (again, make up is a personal choice), clean shoes that don't have scuffed heels or too worn and battered. Well fitting clothes, a nice scent (personal choice, but definitely makes an impression), and a key accessory or two.
Picking out classic items that work for your style, body shape and lifestyle help pull together outfits too. Perfect jeans, white shirt/top, a cashmere sweater, blazer, a trench coat, perfect heels, flats, day bag etc. A statement bracelet/necklace/scarf/earrings can really elevate an outfit.
Colour is important. The classic black and white does nothing for me, as much as I love it; but neutral tones really suit me, along with a few accent colours in the right shade.
I plan outfits the night before, so I have time to think about what I want to wear, purpose (work, leisure), will I be walking? Need flats? Will it rain? What do I need to carry with me?
I personally like to feel my best even if I am at home, running errands etc, even if just wearing jeans and a t shirt. I'll wear perfume and make up, even if I know I won't see anyone all day. I do it for me. Doesn't mean I judge others who wear sweats etc. Each to their own!
