All ladies without exception, regardless of age, family and professional status, want to be the center of attention and catch admiring glances of the opposite sex. It is not for nothing that the saying "they meet by their clothes, and see off by their minds" has become so popular.

We will tell you how to choose your style depending on your type of appearance, what clothes are better to give preference to in order to look elegant and at the same time fashionable. Using these simple recommendations, you will become your own stylist and, without resorting to the help of specialists, you will be able to create a harmonious and elegant image.
Tips of professional image-makers
Every person is their own stylist at heart. Whether you act consciously or not, but when you look at your reflection in the mirror, you create a certain image that is built on a combination of several elements:
- visual form (meaning hairstyle, make-up, as well as clothing, accessories and even manicure);
- behavior (your facial expressions, gait, speech and gesticulation);
- habitat (that is, the style of the person is influenced by the people around him, as well as the atmosphere and everyday life where he lives).
Everyone has their own unique appearance, whichcan either be emphasized with clothes, thereby distinguishing a person from the crowd, or, on the contrary, “erase” all the charms with an unwise choice. The way a person looks can tell a lot about him: how much he loves himself or not, what he is interested in, where he works, what kind of character he has. Therefore, if you want others to perceive you as a strong, self-confident person, you need to choose your style correctly. Below are tips from professional image makers who, as part of their job, make people beautiful every day.
Classification of people by color types
A person, perceiving the environment, first of allfirst pays attention to the color of objects, and then to their shape. The same thing happens in the minds of people who look at you. Therefore, when choosing a style of clothing and creating an image, the first thing you need to do is to determine your color type. So, according to a common theory, each person belongs to one of them. Scientists have divided all color types into several categories - warm, bright, muted and cold - and named them in honor of different seasons:
- Spring - a warm type, whose owners are characterized by a thin peachy-pinkish skin, golden, honey or straw hair, as well as light eyes (blue, gray or amber).
- Another warm, however, more saturated coloring- This is autumn. Such people often have bronze or red hair, sometimes with brown or copper shades. The skin tone, unlike the spring color, is more dense, and the eyes can be brown, green or, again, gray.
- Summer refers to a cold group of shades. Therefore, owners of this type - blondes, people with blond, ashy or chestnut hair, pinkish-bluish skin. Summer is divided into contrast (dark hair and eyebrows) and not contrasting (blond hair).
- The brightest and at the same time cold color-type is winter. These people have a transparent, sometimes olive-tinged skin, dark hair and memorable eyes.
Each of us has our own individuala color scheme that suits our appearance type, so if you choose the wrong shade of clothing, stop at something that is “contraindicated” by nature itself, you can easily change beyond recognition, and not for the better. In addition, color greatly affects not only a person’s mood, but also their achievements, faith in their own strength, so it is important to surround yourself with “your” tones, which will help you become even more beautiful and happier.
Find out your color
To create an individual style and morenever make a mistake when choosing your next outfit, you need to determine your color type of appearance. You should act in a bright room in daylight, so that there are no glare. So, first wash off all your makeup and prepare multi-colored pieces of fabric or clothes. If you have an unnatural hair color, then tie a scarf of some neutral shade around your head. Bare your neck and shoulders so that you can see your natural shades in the mirror, which are the first thing you should pay attention to. Decide on the natural tone of your lips, skin, eyes, and hair. Then pay attention to other components of your appearance:
- What color do you prefer - warm or cool?
- Is the skin tone blue, slightly yellowish, peachy or olive?
- What is the tone of the hair, freckles, whether there are pigmented spots?
When asking yourself questions like these, focus oncharacteristics inherent in a particular color type (Winter, Spring, Summer, Autumn), which were mentioned above. Then, one by one, bring to your face the previously prepared things or pieces of fabric, first warm, and then cold shades of the same color. You will notice that on one background the whole image looks fresh and healthy, and on the other - tired, gray and uninteresting. The low-contrast Winter type corresponds to cold, fresh and bright tones. For example, if you want to introduce red into your wardrobe, then choose its crimson shades, from blue you should give preference to snow-blue or indigo. An emerald or malachite dress or suit will look just as perfect on you. For summer, experts recommend choosing light and cool pastel shades in soft combinations: gray-blue or light blue, cocoa, brown-pinkish, burgundy, cherry, lemon color, but without an admixture of bright yellow. The spring color type suits a warm transparent range: peach, turquoise, light green, honey, coral, coffee and cream shades. Black is strictly contraindicated in this case. People belonging to the Autumn type should choose clothes of a rich, thick color: scarlet, red-brown, orange, bluish-green, plum, coffee and so on. In general, in this case, preference is given to all the shades that nature is saturated with during the harvest period, as well as leaf fall. Note that the division by tones in no way deprives you of the opportunity to create a bright and varied wardrobe, because any color can be both warm and cold. When you determine your type of appearance, you can easily improve your own style by choosing clothes correctly.
Decide on the type of figure
Continuing to shape the style and having decided onwhat colors suit you and what don't, now pay due attention to the shape of the subject of the study, or more precisely - your figure. Experts distinguish several types:
- "Rectangle" is characterized by the sameproportions of the chest, hips and waist Many models of clothes suit such girls: short or long jackets, straight coats, sweaters with striped patterns, skinny jeans and trousers, blouses and shirts, tight dresses and sundresses and more. If you belong to this type, then exclude from your wardrobe things with lapels and winding seams. And such elements as geometric patterns, oval, V-shaped or square neckline, low rise, on the contrary, will suit you.
- Full hips and legs combined with obviousA pronounced waistline, narrow shoulders and a small chest are all features of the "Pear-shaped" type. The main task of girls with such proportions is to hide a heavy bottom and draw attention to the upper part of the body. To do this, you need to avoid straight models, tapered jeans and trousers. Introduce a support bra into your wardrobe, which will help visually enlarge the bust, to visually narrow the waist, use thin, elegant straps. Shirts, jackets, vests, jumpers and coats should be semi-fitted or fitted, always with shoulder pads, and choose sweaters with a V-neck. Buy skirts and dresses from flowing, light and airy fabrics that will "bounce" in time with your movements, thereby not lingering on the imperfect parts of the body that need to be hidden.
- The hourglass type woman has a narrowwaist equal in volume to the chest and hips If you have slender, beautiful legs, do not hide them behind a long bottom, it is better to buy a mini. A pencil skirt with a high waist will look great, jeans and trousers with a mid-rise will also do. To emphasize the beauty of the chest, choose models with a deep neckline, wrap, tight sweaters and T-shirts. This type of figure is considered classic - it is typical for many women. Therefore, do not be shy of your forms, and, having chosen your style, present them favorably.
- The woman - "Apple" - has a largebody type and complete absence of a waist Therefore, in this case, the main task is to visually stretch the body in length with the help of various elements in clothing: vertical seams, trim and stripes. Girls of this type need to be careful with tight-fitting clothes, long and wide skirts, an abundance of frills, flounces, folds and frills. A sheath dress, a sundress with a high waist and corsets will look simply magnificent. Asymmetry will help to stretch the figure, so give preference to models with a belt and cut on the bias. In order not to add a couple of extra kilos, God forbid, avoid flowing fabrics that create additional volume.
When developing your own style, don't forgetabout the important elements of the image of a successful and beautiful lady - shoes and accessories. Buy elegant shoes with a high wide heel or stiletto heel, classic pumps never go out of fashion. As for jewelry, they, just like clothes, will help to correct the figure for the better and attract interested glances of others to your person. So, for example, large earrings will emphasize beautiful eyes, and a flying shawl - on your gait. When choosing accessories, consider the proportions of your body: a slim girl will suit a narrow clutch and a thin heel, plump ladies - voluminous bags and stable shoes, which will harmonize the overall look. Stylists note that the toe of the shoe, as well as the neckline of the dress or blouse and the shape of the jewelry, should resemble the shape of the face - in this case, you are guaranteed success.
