Every person, regardless of gender and age,wants to look attractive. And there is nothing unusual about this, because the first impression others make is based on our appearance: clothes, behavior, makeup, speech patterns, and so on. Men are much calmer about their wardrobe than girls. They just buy high-quality and modern things that suit them. Women, on the other hand, take much longer to choose clothes and are more meticulous about this process: for them, it is a whole ritual that sometimes lasts for several hours. However, sometimes not all purchases turn out to be successful. This is how piles of blouses, T-shirts, trousers, dresses, sundresses, and skirts appear in women's closets that there is nothing to wear them with. All this is the result of the lack of a certain style. You should choose your wardrobe based on the image you want to create - sporty, business, glamorous, vintage, glam rock, or other. Remember that others get information about you based on what they see in front of them. Therefore, looking at your clothes, people form their opinion about what position you hold and even how much you earn, what you like and what habits you have. You need to dress in such a way that everyone likes you - both acquaintances and strangers, men and women. This is what we will talk about.
Psychology of clothing
It's no secret that the things wewe wear, form a certain image in the eyes of people around us. So, putting on a formal suit, doing the appropriate hairstyle, a woman instantly turns into a serious leader. And if she changes this wardrobe for a denim jacket, sneakers and a T-shirt, then before us will appear a girl who probably loves sports and appreciates convenience and comfort. Today, a separate direction has emerged in science - the psychology of clothing. One American scientist even wrote a book - "You are what you wear", which describes not only the reasons for choosing certain things, but also tells what psychological problems exist in creating a wardrobe and how to overcome them. Unfortunately, many people judge the inner world of a stranger based not on his personal qualities, which are unknown to them, but guided by appearance. Therefore, clothes, no matter how much we would like it, are a kind of indicator of social and economic status and classify us into a certain caste, regardless of education, profession, financial situation, and so on. For example, a man in a biker jacket and leather pants is perceived by society as a rocker, and if he wears a white shirt with a tie and formal trousers, then he can safely be classified as a "white collar". Your style should be formed very carefully, but it is not necessary to adhere to it constantly - clothes can change depending on the situation. Naturally, you should go to work in a business image, and for a Halloween party you can safely dress up as a rocker or try on the image of a disco diva. Firstly, the main thing is to like yourself, secondly, the wardrobe should match the place and event you are going to. Another important factor, recently proven by scientists, is that clothes can influence a person. American psychologists conducted a study: people were divided into two groups, the first were given white coats and told that they were worn by doctors, and the second got things that belonged to artists. Then everyone was given simple tasks, which people from the first group approached more carefully, acting carefully and carefully thinking through each step. In this way, scientists found out that things can influence a person. Surely you have noticed that when you put on a luxurious evening dress, put on high-heeled shoes, you involuntarily start to hold your back straighter and feel like a goddess. And when you come home from work, you become homely and calm - you just have to dress in your favorite and comfortable things. Therefore, when choosing this or that style, ask yourself the question: "Who do I want to be?" Based on this, form your wardrobe.
The problems of the wardrobe and how to deal with them
We have already mentioned above that one of the psychologists outlined in his book the main wardrobe and style problems that many women face. Let's consider some of them:
- If you store all the clothes in the closet - the right one andunnecessary, worn and torn, long gone out of fashion and so on - this indicates that you are unconsciously clinging to the past, wanting to preserve all these "values." Tell yourself: "Enough!" And throw out two-thirds of things that do not sit well, are full or, on the contrary, you have not been in them for a long time.
- If a woman's wardrobe is dominated by neutralstones, there is a paucity of accessories - therefore, she is stuck in a daily routine, wants comfort or is afraid of attracting unnecessary attention to herself. In this case, you should gradually dilute your usual image with bright and fashionable things or jewelry.
- Some women wear clothes not in size: too large or small. As the American psychologist notes, this indicates that the girl perceives her body is not what it really is. Choose a new wardrobe, resorting to the help of a friend or professional stylist. They will help you to judge your forms more adequately.
- If colleagues or close people say thatyou dress in an unseemly or defiant manner, do not rush to take offense - here it is worth thinking about. There are two options: either you are choosing the wrong clothes for a particular event, or you are trying to attract everyone's attention. Having understood what is the cause of your fiasco, fix the problem, henceforth buying the right things.
- Often in the street you can meet a mature woman inshort skirt or overly bright dress, in general, dressed in a youth manner. This is wrong, since tying your outfit follows a certain situation, and not at all to the age. Moreover, a forty-year-old lady will look much more impressive in stylish and elegant things, suitable to her by age.
- Some businesswomen also in everyday lifeprefer business style in clothes. This indicates their fixation on work and unwillingness to relax. Appreciate yourself not only for achievements in your career, but also for your personal qualities and other talents. Learn to relax and choose appropriate clothing for it: warm cozy sweaters and sweaters, loose cut trousers or jeans, comfortable shoes.
A wardrobe doesn't necessarily have to consist ofexclusively from expensive branded items - the main thing is that they are made of high-quality material, sewn by skilled craftsmen and suit your body type, as well as color scheme. Then you are guaranteed to look luxurious, which men will not fail to notice.
We choose style independently
So, if you are looking for your style, want to changeor perhaps improve the existing one, you can go two ways - contact an image maker or choose a wardrobe yourself. In the first case, for a certain fee (note, this will be quite expensive) you will be consulted by a professional. But each person is his own stylist and can do without outside help, the main thing is to know the rules, which we will tell you about below:
- His clothes should be chosen so that shecorresponded to the inner world, that is, the style should reflect your inner self, and not go with it in a cut. If you prefer the image of a business woman, then in trendy things that teenagers wear, you obviously will not be very comfortable. Therefore, stopping your choice on this or that product, be guided by your feelings, not by the advice of sellers.
- When choosing an image, consider factors such asyour profession, position, age, and the like. Buy two or three things that will form the basis of a new wardrobe. They should be combined with each other, and with other outfits hanging in your closet. In addition, stylists recommend light neutral clothes to complement with bright accessories that will help complete the image and place the necessary accents.
- Before going to the store, look inmirror and determine the type of your figure (apple, pear, rectangle, hourglass and so on). Every woman has something to hide and emphasize, but you can do it with the help of clothes. Therefore, study the advice of experts about a particular type that is recommended to wear, and what should be discarded. This information will help you make the right choice.
- Not only the features of the figure, but also your color -this is an important part of the ideal image. So, blondes are suitable for warm and light shades (pink, grassy, yellow, blue and others), brunettes - bright colors (red, dark blue, purple). Light-skinned brown-haired women should pay attention to clothing brown, beige, gray, coral, and swarthy more to the face of ocher, scarlet and heavenly shades.
Now you understand how to choose a style of clothing,and you can safely apply the acquired knowledge in practice. Buy high-quality and not necessarily expensive things that suit your color type, emphasize the advantages and hide the disadvantages of your figure, and you will always look stylish.
