In fashion magazines and on television, we regularly see interviews with professional stylists and critics who dress stylishly and tastefully. We try to listen to advice, but something always goes wrong. Even one small detail can ruin a carefully thought out and seasoned image. And all because you need to find your own style and dress accordingly.
An experienced stylist advises
Raisa Kichigina is a buyer with extensive experience, she works with pop and film stars and famous personalities. She wrote a useful book called “In Your Own Style.” In it, the specialist tells how to find your own image and always follow it.
And to do this, the book describes ten things that you should never buy in boutiques. Even if you already have them in your wardrobe, don’t hesitate to throw them away, because they prevent you from looking attractive and harmonious.
Fakes
If you are not the daughter of a millionaire and do not have free funds amounting to hundreds of thousands, you should not chase brands. For a well-chosen look, it is better to buy a stylish and beautiful bag for three thousand rublesthan buying a fake.
Connoisseurs will definitely understand that the accessory is fake and your image will look fake and too pretentious in the eyes of others. In a budget option you can look much brighter and more attractive than in clothes that cost millions of dollars.
Lycra tights
The trend from the 90s, when all the girls around walked around with shiny legs, will probably never come into fashion again. It's time to get rid of these things forever and buy stylish matte tights. If you're bored with regular styles, consider wearing patterns and prints that are trendy this season.
Beige tights almost always come with lycra. We advise you to buy them no thicker than 8 den, invisible on the leg.
Rhinestones
Blouses, trousers, bags and flashy accessories, entirely decorated with iridescent stones - bad manners and a sign of bad taste. A shiny brooch on a jacket or a bright patch on a handbag can become part of the look, but not in everyday life and in very measured doses.
We do not recommend choosing things literally studded with rhinestones. This is an anti-trend that is a thing of the past. Denim jackets, leather biker jackets and other clothes that have been on the list of current trends for several seasons.
Hot trendy things
The iconic lady Coco Chanel said: “Fashion is what has gone out of fashion.” Coming to a cafe where everyone is sitting in the same blouses or jeans is unpleasant. Avoid overtly advertised models.
If clothes do not suit your figure or you consider them childishly naive or unattractive, do not spend extra money on the purchase, even if they are ultra-popular this season. Buy items from the basic wardrobe that builds your personal style.
Synthetics and artificial materials
Cheap guipure, polyester dresses and skirts that mercilessly stick to your feet, sweaters made from artificial fibers - all this cannot look decent. Give it up in favor of natural materials.
It’s better to pay more money for one decent item than to fill your wardrobe with inexpensive, low-quality clothes.
And this does not mean that clothes made of wool, viscose or cotton will be expensive. In the mass market and at sales in boutiques of famous brands you can find outfits starting from 500 rubles. Buy a basic blouse, dress or classic cut jeans and customize the look to suit you, complementing them with fashionable details.
Items are not the right size
Any wardrobe item that does not fit in volume or length spoils the image. A T-shirt with armholes digging into the armpits or jeans with the sides hanging down. It’s clear that they are waiting for you to lose weight, but still It’s better to get rid of such things, and after getting yourself back to normal, buy new ones, more fashionable and stylish.
Excessive decor on jeans
Denim trousers, decorated with openwork embroidery, numerous rhinestones, slits and beads, are a thing of the past. Choosing pay attention to classic blue and blue shades, as well as minimalist design. After all, this is a basic wardrobe item; it seems as neutral as possible.
Clothes that have lost their luster
It is our tradition to store things that are out of date, out of fashion and have lost their original appearance in the closet.I would like to believe that they will come into fashion again, magically transform and become in time, emphasizing the advantages of the figure.
Give up this thought get rid of worn-out blouses and trousers, buy new, fashionable and beautiful things good quality. An attractive, stylish look is guaranteed if you follow your own style.
Items with large logos
This type of clothing came back into fashion a few years ago. But its trendiness quickly faded away. Today such a set looks too provocative and irrelevant. Avoid flashy items in favor of a strong and minimalist base.. Laconic, excellent quality items in calm colors are much better suited for every day.
Hidden wedge sneakers
The Isabel Marant brand invented similar shoes several years ago and since then, short women have been wearing them non-stop, as they say “for all occasions.” We don't argue that they look impressive, add a little length to the legs, but are completely unfashionable in recent years.
Take a closer look at the stylish sneakers offered by modern shoe and clothing brands. They are simple, concise and look extremely fashionable.
Most importantly, maintain your own style at all costs. It may not be as bright as with trendy things, but it looks fundamental, strong and harmonious with your appearance. Emphasizes the strengths of the figure and skillfully drapes imperfections.
