Modern fashion gives us an endless variety of styles for women’s clothing. We are not limited in length, color or materials. However, it can be difficult to find your individual style: the abundance of choice plays a cruel joke on us, and we simply do not know what to grab onto in order to create our own special wardrobe.
Don’t panic, we know how to help you! If you are wondering what to pay attention to in order to create a clothing style that suits you; or if you would like to choose the most successful styles and colors, and strive to look great in every outfit, today’s article will come in handy. So where should you start?
DEFINE YOUR COLOR TYPE
This is the first thing you need to know when choosing clothes, after your size. Well, I hope there are no nuances with the definition of the size.
As for your color type, it is usually determined according to basic parameters such as skin, eye and hair color. The most convenient classification is the color type according to the time of year (winter, spring, summer and autumn girls). Each season corresponds to a certain set of external characteristics (for example, winter is pale skin, light eyes, dark or blond hair of a cold shade), under which the appropriate palette of shades is selected: pastel looks, bright clothes, contrasting combinations of things, or, conversely, a total look.
All that is needed at the first stage is to find out your color type and figure out which shades are recommended to use in the looks. Remember that this list is not a mandatory rule: if you like a red sheath dress or an emerald tracksuit, but these colors are not on the recommended list, just expand it with those shades that appeal to you.
CREATE STYLISH LOOKS USING COLOR WHEEL
Determining the color type is only the first stage of the process designed to create a clothing style, because the colors from your color type still need to be compatible. But here, too, you do not need to be a certified designer or a talented artist: it is enough to study the rules for combining colors according to the color wheel. It contains the primary colors and their shades (from saturated to pale), which have certain patterns of successful combinations (triangle, square, neighboring shades, etc.). You simply mark the shades from your color type on the circle and match the color combination of clothes based on a specific color scheme. For example, if you are an autumn girl, shades of terracotta, khaki, yellow, red and purple, diluted with gray, beige and ivory, are most suitable for you. According to the color scheme, you can combine eggplant-colored palazzo trousers with golden decorative buttons, a mustard sweater and a graphite coat, or, for example, a terracotta shirt made of eco leather and a khaki midi pencil skirt.
CHOOSE THE STYLES THAT SUIT YOU BEST
How to create your own style if the seasonal trends do not suit you? Choose clothes for a basic “timeless” wardrobe with prudency: more versatile silhouettes are somehow in fashion from season to season and suit almost everyone. For example, pay attention to straight trousers or high-rise jeans, an A-line dress, a pleated midi skirt, a slightly loose turtleneck, a straight-cut jacket, a slip dress, a wrap dress with a waist band and long sleeves. These silhouettes are suitable for girls of any body type and will always emphasize certain advantages of the figure. But if you have favorite models, feel free to add them to your wardrobe: fashion is a passing phenomenon, and you should feel comfortable in the clothes you choose.
