How to Decide What to Wear Today
- Occasion
Not all clothes are suitable for every occasion. What you wear to work is different from what you wear on a date, a wedding, or to the park. Different occasions have different dress codes, so consider where you’ll be going when deciding what to wear on a particular day.
- Weather
The weather is another important thing to have in mind when choosing your outfit of the day. Is it hot, cold, or humid? Does the weather forecast say it’s gonna rain later? Different weather conditions call for different kinds of clothes to ensure comfort, and so you aren’t out of place wherever you will spend the day.
- Season of year
Weather conditions vary in different seasons, and so do the kinds of clothes you wear, from the color palettes to fabric types and thickness, lengths, layers, etc. A lot of your summer outfits may not be suitable for winter, fall, or even spring. When deciding what to wear on a particular day, you can use the season of the year as a guide. Ensure you dress appropriately for the season.
- Personal style
Most of us have the types of clothes we feel most comfortable and confident in. Deciding what to wear every day will be easier if you follow your personal style instead of wearing things just because they are what is trending or the kinds of clothes your friends/agemates/classmates are wearing. Wear clothes that suit your body type and preferred style, that make you feel the most confident in how you look.

- Practicality and comfort
Not every day in a woman’s life is the same. If you are on your period, the colors, types, and material of clothes you want to wear will probably be different from your usual everyday wear. If you’re going out and don’t want to bring a bag, you may opt to wear something with pockets instead. When at home, you may want to wear something comfy like sweatpants or shorts. When deciding what to wear on a particular day, consider the practicality and your comfort.
- Your mood
What you wear can influence your mood or help express your current state of mind. For example, you may want to wear bright colors when feeling happy and energetic or when you want to get into an optimistic mindset when feeling low; wear a blazer when wanting to feel powerful, or dress in soft fabrics when you need comfort.
If you’re a mood dresser, you can use your emotional state or your desired mindset to make deciding what to wear on a particular day less stressful.
- Accessories
You may already know the accessories you want to wear on a particular day. These can help you determine what outfits to wear. Use your accessories, such as jewelry, belt, scarves, shoes, or bags, as a starting point and put together your outfit of the day that works well with them.
- Your hair
Your hairstyle, haircut, and hair color can affect how your outfit looks. When deciding what to wear on a particular day, choose clothing items with colors that don’t badly clash with your hair color, and those that complement your hairstyle/haircut. Use your hair to create a bold, unique but cohesive look.

- Your makeup
Just like hair and accessories, the makeup you intend to wear can influence your outfit choices for the day. Beauty and fashion/style go together and are both used to express oneself. Your makeup (or lack thereof) should match what you wear, or contrast if that’s what you prefer.
- Perception
While we are always advised not to care about others’ opinions of us, sometimes you may want to be perceived a particular way.
Your clothes are among the first things people notice about you. As such, how you want others to view you can influence your choice of outfit on a particular day. For example, you may want to wear clothes that make others think you are powerful, professional, credible, creative, sexy, rebellious, etc. Put together an outfit that conveys the message you want.
