Build Outfits
Before buying a piece you want, put together at least 3-4 outfits with it using your existing wardrobe. If it doesn't work, it's better to leave the purchase for later.
Formula: three times more tops than bottoms.
It's the top that visually creates a new look. Pair the same bottom with different tops, and it will read as a whole new outfit.
Start with the "basics" — then add trends.
Basic pieces are the foundation of your wardrobe — thanks to their simplicity and well-chosen colors, they pair easily with almost everything. So first we build the basic wardrobe, and only then layer trends on top of it, in a ratio of roughly 70% to 30%.
The Right Color in Your Portrait Zone.
Choose the right shades and they work like Photoshop: visually reducing pigmentation and redness, refining the shape of your face, softening fine lines, and bringing out your eye color.
Make a Shopping List
Before you shop, it's best to think it through and make a clear list of what you need to buy (color, cut, size). This will keep you from making unnecessary purchases, saving both budget and time.
Choose "Your" Style
For a look that feels individual and natural, it's essential to find a style that's truly your own, based on your lifestyle. Experiment and pick 1-3 styles for yourself that work well together.
Don't Skimp on Quality
This is especially true for basic pieces. This way, your wardrobe won't lose its shape and will serve you for a long time.
Determine Your Body Type
This will help you choose clothes more accurately and with better results. Once you've identified your figure's strengths, focus on and highlight them.
Pay Attention to Grooming
Neat nails, hair, and makeup play a role that's just as important as your clothes. On top of that, they're also a way to add individuality to your look.
