Sometimes you see a woman, and there is only one word in your head: “aunt.” This kind of lady is well over 30, awkwardly dressed, and old-fashioned looking. One day I felt like this particular character, which radically changed my view of fashion. Today the story will be about how to dress correctly so as not to look older than your age.
The main thing is that the suit fits
My mind was turned upside down by a meeting with a school friend. She lived in Moscow and worked, as she herself says, for more than 10 years in the beauty industry. A chance meeting on the street with memories of childhood and youth had a continuation. And to chat in a cozy atmosphere, we decided to go to a restaurant in the evening.
I wanted to make a good impression on Rita, so I put on what I thought was my most “stylish” outfit. evening dress. Black, satin, with a large pattern. It was free, did not emphasize the figure, and even hid it. We went together with him Mary Jane shoes with a strap on a medium heel. Although my legs felt uncomfortable in them, I did not despair, because “beauty requires sacrifice.”
For the solidity and completeness of the image, I put on jewelry set made of reddish gold. Large pearls in earrings and on a ring looked luxurious. The final touch is big black bag. Having examined myself in front of the mirror from all sides, I was satisfied with my appearance and hurried to the meeting.
Complete opposite
My friend was already waiting for me on the spot. She was sitting at a table in a light tight-fitting dress. Its delicate turquoise color refreshed the face of my peer and favorably emphasized the texture of the skin in the neck and chest area. Graceful jewelry made from simple alloys harmoniously complemented the image. Well-chosen hoop earrings attracted the eye. Not expensive, but very stylish! In her left hand the friend was holding small handbag – the complete opposite of mine. The sea green color, clear accent lines - all this spoke of the good taste of the hostess.
She rose from her chair to greet me. Instead of answering, I involuntarily turned my gaze to her feet. Beautiful leather pumps the mid heels were perfect! This is where I felt old "aunt"who doesn’t go to restaurants, but sits on a bench and cracks seeds. As a result, our conversation opened my eyes to how to dress so as not to look old-fashioned.
The main principles of a young look
Firstly, there is a saying: “Best the enemy of the good" In a way, it is also suitable for fashion. In pursuit of the desire to impress others, women often try to show off all the best things, overloading the image. Although in fact it has always been and will be fashionable minimalism and restraint. It is the desire to look “expensive and rich” that often turns girls into notorious “aunts”.
Secondly, loose styles are contraindicated almost any fashionista. We are, of course, mainly talking about dresses and blouses. Such clothes do not help at all, supposedly hiding the figure. Quite the contrary - it makes you look fat and blurs your silhouette.
And thirdly, it is very important to learn color combinations. For example, it won’t be difficult for anyone to spend a couple of minutes on Google and find the trending shades of the season. And then see what profitable combinations they have. Clumsy color scheme, ridiculous huge prints - all this works perfectly for the image of an “aunt”. Sometimes this is fashionable and appropriate. However, it is certainly not for everyday or even more so evening style.
