Ten Tips for Dressing Like Hermione

Here it is! Ten Tips for Dressing Like Hermione!

1.You always want to look neat and put together, but not like you spent a lot of money or time on your outfit. Hermione does care about how she looks, but to a certain extent. She wouldn't spend $100 on a pretty top or take an hour deciding what shoes go a best with a certain dress.
2. Wear something that is comfortable, but not too ragged or casual. An example would be wearing sweats or an old worn out t-shirt. It may be comfortable, but it needs to be neat looking.
3. On the flip side, don't dress too fancy. The occasional skirt or t-shirt dress is okay, but don't do it every day (unless it is your uniform/dress code) and stay away from fancy dresses and high heels (at least to school or a non-formal event).
4. Always wear something clean. It's okay to sometimes take a shirt out of the hamper, as long as it isn't stained or smelly. But if you're pulling it out for the fourth time since you've washed it, either you need to wash your laundry (because you have nothing clean to wear) or you simply need to wear something else.
5. Dress for the weather. In the movies, you often see Hermione wearing a sweater and jeans. That is because it is in Scotland (where it is rather chilly) and takes place during the school year (not summer). If it is summer, wear plain fitted tees and bermuda shorts and capris.
6. Be practical about what you wear. This goes along with not spending too much money on clothes, wearing things that are comfortable, and dressing for the weather. It's just very important. Hermione is a practical person.
7. Don't be afraid to shop at thrift stores and garage sales. Everything is much cheaper there, and it is environmentally friendly. Hand-me-downs are good too, and even better, free! If the thought of wearing other people's old clothes scares you, try places like Marshall's, Zappo's (a website), and 6pm (also a website). They take other store's overstock (when they order too much and don't need it all) and sell it for a discounted price.
8. Dress to impress yourself, not to impress other people. So what if  a kid at school doesn't like your shirt? You do, and that's what matters.
9. Dress modestly. Don't wear crop tops or spaghetti straps. Make sure your shorts and skirts are at least fingertip length. Don't wear anything super body tight. Hermione does not show off her body.
10. Be yourself! It doesn't matter if your shoes or shirt or whatever go against all the latest trends. It's comfortable and you like it, so keep your head high like you don't even notice.
