Finding a fresh look that is right for you can be an arduous task, but a change of season is the perfect time to find natural style inspiration. Thanks to the shift in colors and climates, seasonal transitions are an ideal opportunity to find new wardrobe staples to make you feel fabulous-and help achieve a flawless look that radiates confidence.

Whether you prefer neutrals, colorblock, prints or florals, the key to dressing in fashion is to be stylish while keeping comfort in mind. Even when wearing your newest trendy dress – the season’s hot silhouette – feeling comfortable underneath it all is the secret to looking gorgeous.  

Helena Christensen, international supermodel, photographer and spokesperson for the Bali intimate apparel line of bras, panties and shapewear, knows a thing or two about what it takes to feel beautiful. “When I put on an attractive bra first thing in the morning it gives me a wonderful feeling and sense of confidence. No matter what clothes I wear, it’s important to me that what I wear underneath them both looks and feels amazing,” says Christensen. 

Christensen suggests updating your wardrobe for the coming season with a few fashion-meets-function tips: 

Beauty Beneath. A bra might not be the first item you consider for seasonal wardrobe purchases, but an ill-fitting bra or sliding straps will affect your confidence and keep you from pulling off a stylish outfit. A pretty bra should provide support and comfort, but a bra needs to do more than just that: It needs to stay in place and deliver a flawless fit. 

Christensen recommends the Bali Comfort-U Design bra “for a look that provides a seamless, sleek look to my outfit while also fitting comfortably,” she comments. “It has a unique design in a place where most women wouldn’t think to look – the back – and this special feature allows me to feel amazing and look chic, all day long.” 

Sleek and Slim-with Confidence. Sleek chemise shirts and tight white slacks are all the rage, but their tight-fitting cuts can be intimidating. Christensen suggests Bali’s Hi-Waisted Thigh Slimmer from the brand’s Powershape Collection, which is worn underneath clothes to help provide a smooth, irresistible shape – and the poise you need to slip into a hot form-fitting outfit for a night out on the town. 

Blouses are Back. After years of being out of the spotlight, blouses are buttoning up a feminine and flirty fashion trend. Try fabrics such as lace, sheer materials or linen paired with the Smoothing Cami from the Bali Invisibles Collection, which fits like second-skin and won’t feel bulky under even the most delicate clothing. 

Dare to Wear Bright Colors and Patterns. Whether you look best in jewel tones or pastels, wearing color brightens your skin tone and can have a similar effect on your mood. Don’t shy away from printed brights, striking solids or floral and animal prints, which are easy ways to infuse your wardrobe with confidence and energy. Update your office suit with a ruffled blouse or bright pattern for a bold move, but be sure your undergarments are not detracting from your outfit.
