As in many other things - in words (especially if words are recognized icons of style ) everything looks quite simple. The gurus say that it's enough to "listen to yourself", "trust your own taste" and "not follow blindly fashion, choosing your style." However, to tell you specifically how to find your own style and image, to explain that there is such a taste, how to define and develop it, no one, unfortunately, can. Aesthetics - a subtle feeling, you need a special approach to it, but you can still select a few basic tips.
How to find your style?
Individual style in clothes develops over time, slowly. First you need to work on the taste. Taste is your own sense of beauty, harmony in all its manifestations: nature, culture, art, fashion. Therefore, the first advice on how to find a girl's own style, you can give this: surround yourself with beauty.
What does it mean? To go to the theater, watch fashion shows, read autobiographies of famous artists or visit museums - everyone chooses the most optimal and interesting activity for themselves. Do you think that this has nothing to do with fashion? Still as has! Thanks to the developed understanding of what is beautiful and what is not, you will no longer be taken to the store for a dubious blouse just because it is in discount. Rather, think: did this thing remain in the sale precisely because it had an unsuccessful model or coloring?
The second tip: find yourself one or more standards. Often in the recommendations on how to find your style in a woman's clothes, famous designers such as Donatella Versace , Donna Karan, Carolina Herrera and others, say: do not imitate and do not look for idols, go from within, build on your own desires. However, this is true only when the taste is already sufficiently developed.
How to work with this? Refer to the celebrity. Pick a few public people who:
- are similar to you on color-type (winter, spring, summer, autumn);
- have approximately the same type of figure (oval, rectangle, inverted and ordinary triangles, hourglass);
- about the same age as you (this is important!);
- like you in their images.
You can choose from both Russian and foreign stars. Keep track of your "ideals", without being distracted by others. Pay attention to their everyday city look-and. Gather yourself a basic wardrobe from similar things.
Underwater stone when focusing on others. For the first time, try to avoid photos of fashion bloggers and just girls dressed in the "urban style." In the variety of their images, it's easy to get lost and bewildered: you will not understand what shoes you buy and in what quantities, what accessories and so on.
The third tip: watch for fashion trends. "It's ridiculous to follow fashion, but not follow-it's silly," says the well-known fashion historian Alexander Vasilyev. This means that one way or another all people today live in an era for which certain things are characteristic. Once it was not customary to wear jeans, but today they are an integral element of any wardrobe. Swimming suits once reached the ankles, and today they barely cover piquant places. Therefore, buying clothes in stores today, you, one way or another, follow fashion.
