Text 3. Accessories

Text 1. Proportions and silhouette

Style tip 1. Proportions. Proportion for clothes doesn’t mean they have to be of a similar size and thickness.

Teaming a big sweater with thick, baggy trousers will make you look like you’ve gained several kilogrammes. Putting together a narrow skirt with a tight T-shirt may make you look like you’ve grown of your childhood clothes.

The general rule of fashion proportion is that a big top needs a small bottom part, and vice versa.

Style tip 2. Vertical stripes. If you’re not tall enough, clothes with vertical stripes can really make you look taller. These lovely lines also make your body look slimmer. But if you’re tall and slim, don’t wear vertical stripes – try horizontal ones.

Style tip 3. Less is more. Too much of anything in fashion is never a good thing. Each outfit should contain just one item that attracts attention.

For example, you can wear a short skirt to show off your beautiful legs. But if you also wear a low cut top you may look good only for a day out on a beach.

Style tip 4. Trousers for not very tall people. Looking stylishly elegant when you are short can be difficult. Try narrow straight legged trousers that fall to the bottom of the heel – this will give the illusion you are taller. If you team them with a great pair of heels, you’ll create a fantastic illusion of longer legs!

Text 2. Colours and patterns

Style tip 5. Learn to use the colour. Learn to use colours when you dress! Draw attention to the parts of your body that you like and hide those that you don’t like much.

So, the rule is – light colours attract highlight and dark colours hide. So if you are a little heavy on the top, you should wear dark tops and lighter bottoms, and vice versa.

If you want to look taller, wear the same colour for a top and bottom.

Style tip 6. A splash of colour. People often dress either in neutral tones or in all the colours of the rainbow. One colour is boring, many colours may be too many.

What to do? Find the balance! If you wear a one-colour outfit, add a little splash of colour with accessories and see how much it will change the way you look! Your outfit will look incredibly fresh and so will you.

Style tip 7. Patterns can be great. The common mistake is that patterned clothes make short people look shorter and fat people look fatter.

But as long as you don’t choose very big patterns of bright colours and use them on your top and bottom this rule may not work. A pattern or print can look stylish on people of all shapes and sizes. Just remember, the less is better.

Text 3. Accessories

Style tip 8. Choose your accessories first. Usually, when you decide what to wear, you start with clothes and end with your accessories. Why don’t you sometimes do it the other way – choose an accessory first and then build up your outfit around it?

Much of style and fashion is in the detail so let the detail rule. Try once, you will like it!

Style tip 9. Balance your accessories. Accessories are as much a part of your outfit as your shoes or your skirt. So don’t forget about balance and proportion when you choose which earrings to wear or what handbag to use.

The size, shape and material of your accessories should match that of the clothes you’re wearing.

For example, a bulky handbag is too much for a pretty, summery dress, whereas it’s perfect for a thick trouser suit.

Style tip 10. Use glasses to your advantage. Well, you wear glasses when you need, but if you need them, why don’t you play with them and use their advantages? Do you know that you can transform the shape of your face with the correct choice of shape and size of glasses?

For example, narrow rectangularframes can add length to a face and reduce roundness. Slightly coloured frames can accentuate the colour of your eyes. Square faces can be softened with narrow, oval glasses.

As for sunglasses, they are a great fashion accessory in the summer time but if the sun’s away, put your sunglasses away. And don’t keep on them when you’re indoors. You may think you look cool but nobody else will.
