Confidence is your best accessory
Vanessa exudes confidence in every outfit, whether it’s a glamorous red-carpet gown or a casual athleisure ensemble. She reminds us that the way you carry yourself is just as important as what you wear.
Confidence adds an undeniable allure to any look, making even the simplest pieces feel extraordinary.
The first thing that people are going to notice when you step out is how much confidence you are oozing with your attire. Even for the most basic of looks, wearing your outfit with that extra boost is going to prove to be your best accessory and what possibly gets people noticing you.
Invest in a Neutral Palette
One of Vanessa’s standout fashion trademarks is her love for neutral tones. Beige, white, black, and muted pastels dominate her style choices, creating a cohesive and sophisticated aesthetic. Neutral palettes are versatile and can be dressed up or down depending on the occasion, a trick Vanessa uses to perfection.
A neutral palette also allows you to easily mix up your wardrobe, creating the illusion of a heavily stocked up wardrobe, even if that isn’t the case.
For instance, you could have your neutral dress up pants, that you can constantly alternate between your various tops, allowing for you have a different look each time, without breaking the bank.
Play with Statement Pieces
Vanessa’s outfits often feature a statement piece, whether it’s an oversized blazer, bold jewelry, or a designer handbag.
These elements elevate her looks without overwhelming them, striking a balance that feels intentional and refined. Always aim to have that one piece that stands out with whatever you are wearing. Even if you are going for an understated and subtle look, always be sure to add something to it that elevates it a little, like an accessory, a detailing on your outfit or even the fabric you choose.
Elevate your Casual Wear
Even in her downtime, Vanessa’s casual outfits are thoughtfully curated. She pairs classic pieces like high-waisted jeans and crisp white shirts with trendy sneakers or chic sunglasses, proving that casual doesn’t have to mean boring. In other words, if you are looking to be a true fashion star, there are not going to be any days off.
Even for something as simple as running errands, choose your casual pieces in textures, colours and details that stand out.
So, instead of simply throwing on the first t-shirt you can get your hands on over your jeans, instead opt for the crisp white shirt and a nude pair of sandals.
Vanessa Gyimah’s style extends beyond what she wears. It’s about how she presents herself, her storytelling through fashion, and her ability to inspire others to embrace their uniqueness.
Her style lessons on confidence, minimalism, and attention to detail are timeless principles that anyone can incorporate into their fashion journey.
