Everyone is different to another and needs an individual and personalised advice how to dress right.There are an infinite number of physical features and each person has their own unique combination of these.
I. But here are some golden rules how to dress for success, which apply to everyone no matter what age, life style, work or play or budget.
- Complement your personal colouring, which is based your dominant colour ( Eye- hair and skin colour)
- Dress accordingly to your body shape, proportion and scale- it is important to understand how to dress to your build in order to create the appearance of a balanced body
- Dress appropriate for the occasion- learn the know how to get it right for each occasion no matter how different they might be.
- Dress right to your personality, which reflect your life style & character at work and play. It is your personality, which will put an outfit and look together.
- Current must be your look- make sure that your outfit do not look dated in fabrics, cuts and accessories. Nothing is more aging and draining than wearing clothes which look out of fashion. Make sure that your investments buys have a timeless look & feel, so you can jazz them up to the occasion & current fashion trend or season.
II. How to create the illusion of the perfect shape.
The aim is a neat hour glass figure ( which is considered the perfect & most balance figure of all body shapes). To achieve this we need to understand “line design”. A line leads the eye and can give optical illusion for our benefit.
- The stripes on the left will make someone look wider (if that’s what you need).
- The stripes on the right make a person look longer (if that’s what you need).
The same rules apply to putting on make up as putting on a dress. Just as stripes on a dress can create an illusion of shape so can makeup and eyebrows.
