How to dress at home? Let's talk about the perfect loungewear. How to dress stylishly for a girl: how to choose sets of things and create a basic wardrobe correctly How a girl should dress

Looking stylish in the modern world, where people are greeted by their clothes, is simply necessary. However, you also need to know how to dress correctly so as not to be a black sheep and correspond to your status, age and situation.

How to dress for work

It all depends on the type of activity. People working in the cultural sphere, in some creative groups, are allowed a lot. They can combine the most unusual things and allow themselves to be extravagant. For example, a dress or skirt can easily be combined with sneakers and a shoulder bag. The coat may be one size larger than required. Such sets look unusual, but they emphasize the originality of the individual.

How should workers in education or medicine dress properly? They need to always appear in a way that inspires respect and a desire to listen and trust. Therefore, it is better to stick to strict, classic clothes. The same can be said about office managers, deputy directors, directors and other people who work with business partners and always need to look presentable.

Basic clothing styles

Rock style. Suitable for young people. A very noticeable style in which dark-colored clothing predominates. The set must include: a leather jacket or vest, some metal accessories. This style is somewhat aggressive, so it is necessary to dilute it with softer details.
Glamor. Clothing of this style is intended for going out. An indispensable attribute of a glamorous outfit is rhinestones, sparkles or bright colors.
Zen. This is oriental style. This type of clothing includes harem pants, multi-layer tunic sweaters, sweaters with oriental patterns, turbans, and active accessories.
Sport. These are clothes designed for sports. However, within reasonable limits, a similar style can be present in any set in the form of sneakers, sneakers, T-shirts, sweatshirts, etc.
Casual. These are clothes designed for everyday wear. This should include flat boots, jeans, and scarves.
Classic. These are clothes that look good in almost any situation. Classics are a straight or tapered skirt, a sheath dress, trousers with arrows, shirt-type blouses.

To understand how to dress correctly and beautifully, you need to navigate these styles. Their list may be different, each of the fashion designers offers its own classification. In addition, sets that combine clothes of different styles look most advantageous. For example, a glamorous long skirt looks stylish with a rock-style leather jacket. There are a lot of similar combinations.

How to choose clothes to please men?

If you want to always look elegant and stylish, as well as attract the gaze of men, you need to remember a few important points regarding how to dress correctly. Numerous sociological surveys have shown that most of all men prefer ladies in dresses and skirts. They also don't like overly sexy, revealing clothes. Therefore, you should choose skirts of medium length, not too short and not too narrow. It should also be remembered that any pattern on clothing distracts attention from the contours of the body, so you need to be careful with prints and ornaments. Fitted, slightly tight-fitting clothing favorably emphasizes feminine shapes, which is also very popular with the stronger sex. As for trousers, it is better to choose plain models, a classic cut or tapered to the bottom. Men don't like it when women wear loose, sweatpants-like or corduroy pants. Shoes, of course, must have heels. Let it not be very tall - 5-6 centimeters, but it will give additional growth and make the figure slimmer.

Girls who are overweight and have some figure flaws experience particular difficulties in choosing clothes. This is also due to the small selection of fashionable outfits for young girls with curvy figures.

There are a number of tricks thanks to which all figure flaws can be hidden.

How to combine colors in clothes?

An important point when buying clothes is the selection of colors. There are several rules to follow.

A set of clothes should not contain more than three colors. Only virtuoso designers will be able to create an outfit with more colors and shades; non-professionals should not take risks. One of the colors should be basic, primary. And all the others are designed to place accents and make the image more saturated.
Warm shades are best combined with warm ones, and cold shades with cold ones. However, there are exceptions to this rule. Red color can be combined with bright green and blue. However, you should not mix green and pink or red and blue in one set.
All whitened shades (pastel) harmonize well with each other. Therefore, if you want to create a set of bright, unusual colors, choose clothes in pastel colors.

So, let's look at some color combinations to understand how to dress correctly. Overweight girls should pay special attention to the color of their clothes, because it can make them look fat.

Red and green

The combination is bold and exotic, but quite acceptable. This outfit always looks bright and not outdated.

Blue/light blue and brown

This color combination always looks stylish, and most importantly, it is suitable for all occasions. You can add beige to this combination. A blue blouse always looks impressive with cream trousers. You can add accents with a dark brown belt and a dark blue bag.

Gray and blue

A classic combination for an office worker. Such clothes can easily be worn for an interview, as similar colors give a person a serious and reliable look. Having bought a pair of gray trousers and skirts, blue blouses, you will always know how to dress correctly. This set is also suitable for all occasions.

Black with other colors

If you don’t know how to dress correctly, then it is better to choose black as a base, as it is universal and can be combined with other shades. In addition, black is also suitable for overweight girls, as it hides figure flaws. Black goes well with pink, red, lilac, gray and white. It is better to avoid bee colors and not wear black and yellow or black and orange clothes.

How to dress correctly to look slimmer?

All dark colors make you look slimmer, but light colors, on the contrary, reflect light and add extra pounds. So, to look slimmer, you need to wear dark blue, dark green, gray, brown, purple things. It is also believed that plain clothes make girls look slimmer. Indeed, it’s better not to take risks with prints, because some of the patterns on clothes expand and deform the figure. You need to combine colors wisely. Dark accents should be placed on problem areas: the waist, hips. For example, black sides of a dress or blouse make the torso much smaller. Dark trousers hide overly wide hips. For girls who are overweight, shiny, mother-of-pearl items are strictly contraindicated. By attracting the sun's rays, they visually add a couple of kilograms.

Thus, in every situation you need to know how to dress a girl correctly. After all, the clothes are hers

Probably, any young woman over 30 who strives to dress fashionably and up-to-date has at least once worried: “Am I dressed too teenagely today, isn’t that funny?” After all, everyone remembers how sad pink checkered skirts or tight T-shirts look on 50-year-old ladies.

Female half website I studied how famous fashionistas dress to look young, but not girlish. We share our findings with you. And let’s say right away: there is no advice to forget about minis forever and switch exclusively to pencil skirts and refreshing colors. In the end, only we can decide how and what to wear.

Bag and backpack: strict outlines instead of shapelessness

A shapeless large backpack or sack bag simplifies the look and gives it teenage features. If you need to carry a lot of things with you, it is better to choose a roomy bag with clear outlines, like Miranda Kerr's. Or a geometric backpack - and without owls and rivets - like Kate Bosworth's.

Crop Tops: With High Waist Skirt

Crop tops are stylish, yes. And I want to wear it. But most of us had a belly like a board only in our early youth. “Girls over 30” should wear a short top with a skirt at the waist so that only a narrow strip of skin is visible and the navel is covered - this way the stomach looks flatter. By the way, this combination creates the correct proportions of the body: it balances the top and bottom and makes the legs longer.

Skinny: with chunky shoes or heels

Skinny jeans have a bad habit of making your butt and thighs heavier and presenting your figure in an unfavorable light. Therefore, it is better to choose a looser top and not combine them with ballet flats or other minimalist shoes. It is worth wearing high heels, ankle boots, heavy boots or sports shoes.

Tight dresses vs. dresses to fit your figure

A tight knitted dress - only a young girl can afford this if she has an ideal body. It is worth choosing a seductively figure-hugging dress, but not tight. And if there are voluminous details in the upper part, for example a puffy sleeve, this will give that very desired balance of top and bottom and will decorate the figure.

Sports shoes with a dress or coat: simple cut

A light floral dress and sports shoes are a definite no. This combination would look ridiculous on someone over 20 years old. It is better to choose a dress with a clean and simple cut, perhaps a sporty silhouette. In addition, you should prefer sports-style shoes rather than sneakers designed specifically for sports or classic sneakers. If you still decide on sneakers or sports sneakers, you should choose something very calm, like a straight coat without unnecessary details, like Alexa Chung (below).

Shorts: loose fit, closed top, good shoes

Choose loose models made of thick fabric that hold their shape well and do not wrinkle. Shorts made of lace and other thin fabrics, more reminiscent of panties, increase the butt and actually suit only a few. Of course, the top should be loose and not too open. Another good way is to wear shorts in a chic way. Not with flip-flops, like on the beach, but with good shoes and a bag, like Olivia Palermo (the “correct” photo on the right).

Aggressive sexy style vs. intelligent sexuality

30-something is the time of intelligent sexuality. Neckline, lacing, high slit, short skirt - all this should be performed solo. Victoria Beckham knows a lot about discreet but effective sexuality, and you can safely take an example from her.

Fitted fluffy dresses vs. A-line dresses

Light dresses with an elasticated waist are associated exclusively with young girls. And, hand on heart, let’s say that they decorate few people, even Jennifer Aniston. It is worth choosing A-line dresses, fitted and not so fitted. They draw attention to slender legs and create a feeling of fragility of the figure.

Miniskirt: thick fabric and loose top

If you read online about how to dress for girls over 30, you can repeatedly come across advice to throw the mini in the trash. And we categorically disagree. What if someone has just discovered this miracle? In our youth, when we were dissatisfied with ourselves, we were shy, but now, on the contrary, we have gained confidence. We believe that you can and should wear a mini. You just have to apply the well-known rule: the top must be closed. Let's also add: it is better to choose a slightly loose top, do not expose your stomach and no knitted skirts - only models that keep their shape (like Miranda Kerr in the “correct” photo).

It's good when a dress adorns a woman.

It is bad if a woman becomes an adornment of a dress.

Always be beautiful and happy and decorate this world with yourself.

The problem of “nothing to wear again” was never familiar to me. Perhaps due to natural taste, perhaps because back in Soviet times, when I was just a child, and books were in short supply (especially books about fashion and style), I accidentally found and read a good book about how to dress beautifully, about taste in clothes - and, I must say, I remember it. And therefore, the problems of many women who complained that “again there is nothing to wear” and “well, there is no room in the wardrobe” were not very clear to me, they seemed more like a whim, a game for the audience.

But one day an event happened that made me change my view on a woman’s ability to dress beautifully and manage her wardrobe, and therefore her appearance.

And the following happened. One of my friends (at that time already an aspiring millionaire, showing even greater promise) turned to me with a request: “Elena, could you help my bride learn how to handle a wardrobe? Otherwise, if she doesn’t learn this, then I won’t marry her.” (If you want to get married, R. Kirranov’s book will help you with this “How to Get Married Successfully” - I recommend purchasing and reading).

I remember that I was very surprised then: the girl was both smart and beautiful, and he bought her new clothes without any questions, and in general it was going to the wedding, but for some reason the groom hesitated. The groom (let's call him Marat), seeing my surprise, explained: “You see, Elena, a girl’s wardrobe is her “face” in every sense. You know, we used to say: if you want to know what kind of wife your bride will be, look at her mother. And I realized that you need to look not at your mother, but at your wardrobe. If a girl’s wardrobe is a mess, then we won’t see order in our family life. If a girl cannot find anything in her own wardrobe, then how will she manage the large household of her wealthy husband? If the wardrobe is “full” of things, and she again “has nothing to wear,” then how will she help me save and increase my money, and not squander it?

And how can I give her, say, another fur coat if it gets lost in the closet and does not decorate my wife? I want to give gifts with pleasure and admire them on my wife, so that they bring joy to both of us...

And if I have to take my wife to a business meeting, and then immediately to a ball, then I wouldn’t want to wait for her to get ready for several hours - my time is valuable, and I would like my wife to shine both at the council and on the floor, and at a buffet table, one after another.” This is how my first custom wardrobe analysis happened.

Yes, some things I “flatly refused” to be combined with each other, but still I got a lot more new interesting sets. So, we buy comfortable hangers according to the size of your things (so that there are no random, too big or too small hangers for your things) and hang skirts separately (all together), trousers separately, blouses separately, jackets, jackets and other tops separately, dresses separately etc. And - experiment every day with new images from seemingly old things. By the way, recently one well-known Western expert on style and image called a similar situation “shopping in your own wardrobe.” I really liked this expression, it is very successful - you will really “discover” many things that you have not worn for years and have almost forgotten about their existence. You'll even be surprised at how good you can look in them.

By the way, sellers often use this without a twinge of conscience, seeing that you liked the item, but it is too small for you. They often tell you that, take it, it will give you an incentive to lose weight. From my own experience, I can tell you that I have not seen a single woman who has actually lost weight just because she really wanted to “fit into” things that were a size or two smaller than her own. This doesn't happen! Why? Yes, because a thing is just a thing, and cannot give a woman a strong enough motivation to lose weight. Losing weight requires self-discipline - and you either have it (and then you don't get fat) or you don't. Therefore, you will lose weight for the sake of anything (for the sake of health, for the sake of a loved one, for the sake of work, if you are a model or a fitness instructor, or an artist, simply because you do not have enough money for food...), but to lose weight in order to “fit in” let Even in a very attractive thing you definitely won’t.

So there are things hanging that don’t suit your figure, cluttering up your wardrobe. The same applies to those things that are too big for you, although this happens less often - for example, you took an item with the expectation of “shrinkage”, or the “last size” in the expectation that it would fit a little, or the price was very attractive on sale, or the item fits your colleague very well...In the end, they simply hide your beautiful forms from the world.

Therefore, when trying on your wardrobe, put things that do not fit you aside - they have no place in your current wardrobe and do not need to return them there. I understand that this is quite difficult to do - many of these things were once very loved, “it’s like you tear them from your heart”, others are simply a pity - the thing is good, but sometimes it’s never even worn! My advice to you is to feel sorry for yourself, not for the thing. After all, you need to look good today, here and now... And don’t put off the joy of seeing yourself dressed “like a queen” here and now, and not sometime in the uncertain future, which most likely will never come. If it’s hard to part with things, just put them in boxes and take them somewhere: to the country house, to the garage... The main thing is not to leave them at home. In a year, you can come back and review them again (what if you actually lose weight?). Or you can just take it and throw it away without opening it - because if you have done without them for a year, you will be fine in the future. If you wish, you can find other options: exchange things with friends, sell them online or at a flea market, give them to a charity organization - in general, invent your own options. But for now, leave only those things that are your size and fit you well.

Try not to make such unnecessary purchases in the hope that you will actually lose weight or the item will shrink a size. It is a myth. And in your race for the clothes you need, you risk turning into a shopaholic. “Shopaholism, how can the cat get rid of it?” read .

By the way, please note: if a woman is dressed in a thing that is too tight and does not fit her size, thereby trying to “hide her flaws” and convince herself and others that she is “thin enough to wear size 44,” as a rule, they achieve the opposite effect - in these things they look even thicker than they are... I'm not even talking about the “treacherous” folds of fat and other unwanted bulges, lack of waist, etc., which tight things harshly and cynically put on display. At the same time, if a woman wore something of her own size, then these “bulges” of hers would be simply invisible, and no one except her would even suspect their existence. Just watch the women on our streets and you will understand what I'm talking about. And I want you to look good at any moment and in any thing hanging in your wardrobe.

In order to look good at any time, rule number three follows: All things in your wardrobe should be ready to wear here and now. This means that they must be put in order. Therefore, when reviewing things, set aside those that need repair (the lining is torn, a button is lost, the zipper is broken...), cleaning (I still can’t get around to getting this stain out, and it’s so inconvenient to walk with it, it’s too painful to be in a visible place, and so on). noticeable!), washing (be honest with yourself, don’t wait until the item “breaks due to dirt”, or “well, I’ll wear it one more time, and only then...”, carefully inspect the collars, cuffs, fastening points... just take it and wash the item) and ironing. Put them together and do what needs to be done, such as laundry, in one fell swoop. This way you kill two birds with one stone: firstly, things will be ready to be worn, and will not hang in the closet in “non-working condition”, and secondly, doing one thing at once for all things is much better than looking for time for repairing, cleaning, etc. of each item separately.

We get significant time savings and get rid of stress, so that we don’t have to urgently repair something “five minutes before leaving”, when everything tends to break, tear, get lost...

Pay special attention to items set aside for ironing. It's no good if you have to iron an item when you take it out of your wardrobe before you can put it on. Therefore, understand the reasons for the “bruising”. It happens that things get wrinkled in the wardrobe because there is “no room for an apple to fall.” We solve these problems by getting rid of things that you don’t wear anyway. It happens that things get wrinkled in the wardrobe because they “hang out of size”: for example, dresses, coats, raincoats require much more space “in height” than, say, miniskirts. If you followed the first rule, then you can now clearly see how much space in your wardrobe needs to be allocated for “long” things, and how much for short ones. Just adjust the heights of the rails in your closet - it's not difficult. You can do it yourself or ask one of the men. It happens that things hang on a hanger that is “out of size” - too small or too large for this item. It happens that you don’t have enough hangers and you hang several things on one hanger at once - just buy the missing hangers and save a lot of time and effort that is now spent on ironing .

If everything is in order with your closet, make it a rule not to hang an item in the closet if it has not been ironed. This will save you from a situation where you grab something in a hurry and literally look very wrinkled. And this will not add charm to you. Knitted items that tend to “stretch” are dried on a hanger, laid out on a horizontal surface and stored on closet shelves. It’s easier with them: after putting them on, you can “smooth” them right on yourself - just put them on not right before going out, but a little earlier. To speed up the process, you can lightly moisten them on yourself by sprinkling them from a spray bottle or “ironing them” with wet hands - but do not overdo it: going outside in a damp thing you risk catching a cold.

This is especially true in winter, when many people have lowered immunity. “Immunity, how to increase it?” THIS article will help you find out.

In order to look good and dress beautiful, pay attention to those items that need minor alterations to be wearable - for example, they need to be sewn in or arranged. Set them aside, pick up everything you need to put them in order (for example, pick up fabric to “deliver” or arrange, outline which seams or darts can be “unraveled” or widened, etc.). Schedule what day you will do this, if necessary, call and agree with your milliner or atelier. Give yourself a week to resolve the issue. If after a week you still have not put things in order and have not prepared them for wearing, then feel free to remove them from your wardrobe - practice shows that you will continue to put them off and put them off, i.e. you will not be able to wear them. So why not recognize this fact right away and free yourself from wasted energy and unpleasant emotions?

There will also be things in your wardrobe that have “lost their presentation” - worn out, frayed... In a word, you love them very much and they suit you very well, but... wearing them is not very comfortable. At one time I found an elegant way out. When the edges of the sleeves and the edge with the fastener began to peel off from long and frequent wear on my favorite coat, I accidentally saw ribbons in the same color as my coat in a craft store. I bought these ribbons and simply sewed them onto the edges of the sleeves and made a kind of placket with a fastener. Thus, I eliminated the defect that bothered me and updated the coat.

Then, in similar situations, I began to experiment with different colors and textures (for example, I sewed on lace or rope edging). I even like it - I don’t get tired of my favorite things! Now I do this with trousers, with blouses... This method has another advantage - you can hem new materials either by machine or by hand if a machine is not available to you. This does not affect the quality. In addition, if you wish, you can “update” the item at least weekly, simply changing colors and textures, as if playing with a new finish each time.

But if things are really old, have lost their shape and nothing can be done with them, part with them without regret. Yes Yes. You don’t need to think that your old stretched T-shirt “a la from your ex-boyfriend” will still serve you as home clothes or night pajamas.

In general, keeping things from your “ex” is not a very good habit. Yes, sometimes it is painful to come to terms with the fact that you are not together, but keeping something that once belonged to “him” will not solve your problem and will not heal the wounds. “How to survive parting with your loved one” THIS article will help you figure it out.
Remember, you should always be elegant, even at home and even in your sleep. Moreover, it is at home and specifically for sleeping that you need to dress especially carefully, even more carefully than “in public.” After all, it is in this form that your loved one, your family and close friends see you every day. You shouldn’t upset them by giving them a reason to compare you as a “housewife” with a pretty neighbor or work colleague.

If the memory of old things is so dear to you, make a doormat or cleaning rags out of them, sew them into a doll or clothes for a doll... and you will have a chance to see them no less often than before. The times of scarcity of things are long gone - you can always find a worthy replacement for everything.

Now your wardrobe is ready to implement rule number four: hang things inside the wardrobe by season (summer, spring-autumn, winter), and within the season - by color. This way, on the one hand, it will be easier for you to look for things and navigate, and on the other hand, you will have peace of mind that the “things in storage” will be stored properly. This “routine” saves me a lot of time and effort in caring for things. As soon as it becomes warm enough, I ventilate and “dry” winter things on the balcony, in the sun (I dry things that are susceptible to fading, covered with a cotton cloth or gauze), then “ennoble” with herbs (bags with lavender or napkins with a drop of lavender essential oil or other similar herbs) - they protect things from moths and other uninvited “living creatures” and give a pleasant aroma and put them back in the closet until the new season. By the way, I also add lavender to the closet.

I also like to “throw out summer things in the cold” on a fine winter day - things are wonderfully refreshing and, it seems to me, even in a very hot summer they keep me cool and give me coolness. I like this even more than the artificial “winter freshness” of washing powders.

Now that we've got things sorted out, let's move on to accessories. After all, it is important not only to dress beautifully, but also to be able to choose accessories.

The most important rule is that we store accessories in the same place as clothes. Yes, yes - not only scarves, handkerchiefs, beads, necklaces, bracelets, brooches, etc., but also shoes, belts, bags. Just as we put together new outfits from old ones, following the first rule, we put together outfits with accessories. Remember that an accessory can make or break an outfit.

Another common mistake was when a woman put on shoes and took a bag, which went well with a coat or raincoat, but... when she came to the office, she took off her coat and raincoat, but did not change the bag and shoes. But they did NOT match her office attire. It also happened the other way around - on the street, shoes and a bag did not match the coat, because they were matched to an office suit... A familiar situation, isn’t it? But people look at you both on the street and in the office, and not only when you are ready for it, but always. They often try to solve this problem by buying two sets of shoes - the second to change into at work. At the same time, people often forget about changing the bag. Another disadvantage of this solution is the need to keep two sets of shoes instead of one. And again, office shoes should be such that they can be combined with any of your looks. And this is difficult, because after applying the above tips, you will have immeasurably more different images. It is very easy to avoid this if you store accessories next to other things. By dressing “in layers” you will immediately see which accessory “stands out” from the beautiful image you are drawing - and you can immediately correct the matter... Of course, you cannot choose everything so that everything is in harmony with everything. But using the above advice, you will be able to avoid very serious mistakes and always look tasteful and elegant. In addition, you get the opportunity to create your image of yourself as beautiful directly “on-line” - and this is not boring, it is interesting, it allows you to discover new images of yourself every day.

And finally, never allow yourself to dress “casually.” For example, one of my clients, having an impressive collection of bags, always took bags out of place. Why? Yes, because she “was too lazy to rearrange everything,” “it’s faster,” “she took the nearest one”... We easily solved the problem of “too lazy to rearrange” by purchasing a travel bag, where documents, manicure accessories, basic cosmetics, keys are stored in separate pockets... It’s easy to transfer from bag to bag and have everything you need and are familiar with at hand. You can sew it yourself or buy it ready-made. The “I took the nearest one” and “it was faster” problems were solved by placing the bags right in the dressing room next to the suits. Now she enjoys creating beautiful and harmonious images before every time she leaves the house. I divided all my cosmetics into cosmetic bags (a mirror, 2-3 lipsticks or glosses, mascara, eye shadow, perfume, a nail file; I added several “pencil cases” with writing utensils - and put everything in bags. Now, to change a bag, I spend literally a minute, because I only need to transfer my wallet and some documents, but otherwise each bag is ready. Moreover, in each large bag I have a clutch or an envelope in the same color, so that, if necessary, I can quickly “transform” myself into an evening look.

The problem of “accidental” headwear is also too common today. Just today I saw a beautiful girl, dressed “immaculately” from her feet to her coat collar. It’s just that above the fluffy high collar of the coat she was wearing a beanie hat, which spoiled her whole look; it didn’t go with it, because it seemed to “cut off” her head (you can’t see your neck under the collar!). I complimented the girl on her successful outfit and advised her to change her headdress - the situation could be easily corrected by choosing a “high” hat, which would visually “compensate” for the neck lost in the collar. And of course, she asked why she was wearing a beanie - because it “broke” the whole image. The girl said that she always goes without a hat, but “it’s cold today, so I had to take this hat.” This mistake would become immediately visible if the girl looked at herself in this coat and this hat in the mirror, especially from the back. Nowadays, it is not difficult to choose a hat that suits you. Moreover, you can choose different options for hats that suit different combinations of clothes. But despite such a simple solution to the problem, many women still buy hats without reference to the sets of clothes they have. As a result, the “wrong” headdress spoils the image, which is quite beautiful in itself.

To solve this problem, I selected several hats for myself in different styles and for different seasons, each of which goes well with at least 2-3 different looks of mine. I also have a collection of multi-colored berets and gloves of the same color, which are inexpensive and help me out well in different situations. I am happy to combine these berets with 2-3 scarves or stoles, in which the color of the berets or related colors is present. In warm spring or autumn, I combine berets with light scarves and scarves or “French” ties. In addition to good compatibility, the good thing about a beret is that it can be given any shape. You can make it higher by sliding it on one side and lifting the other. You can make it lower by pulling it low. Therefore, using a beret it is very easy and profitable to correct any broken geometric proportions.

In short, you can find an effective “wardrobe” solution for any problem. Therefore, you should not spoil your beautiful image with randomly worn things.

How to dress stylishly at 30 and look great

What color should the clothes be?

How to create a basic wardrobe for women in their 30s

A blouse, a tunic made of expensive fabrics - the brand and price matter. To dress stylishly at 30, you need to reconsider your approach to shopping. You need high-quality clothing, albeit not luxury, but at a premium level. Cheap consumer goods will not look elegant a priori. Although I don’t argue that there are exceptions. So, the basic wardrobe for women 30+ should consist of elegant branded items.

Coat, trench coat - only luxury tones. The color of clothing is no less important; it can be either dark deep shades or light pastels. Pure white should not be chosen; it is better to replace it with shades of champagne, ivory, and beige.

Jacket, blazer - elegant classics. Important elements of a woman's basic wardrobe at 30 are jackets. After all, thirty is the age when a woman’s beauty is fully revealed, soul and body are in harmony, which means it’s time to add a bohemian note.

Everyone has their own understanding of the expression “dress well.” Most men don't give a damn. Indeed, I put on whatever came to hand, slipped into flip-flops - and off to the promenade to cultural places. For such people, the word “style” is a companion to the word “metrosexual.” Although they don't really know the meaning of the last word. And there are others who want to dress stylishly. Not “rooster style”, but stylish. These are two big differences. This article is for such people. There may be nothing new in it, but it won’t be useless either. And it will only be useful if you follow these tips.

1. Start from scratch

If you want to start dressing stylishly, start with the sacred basics.
This does not mean that you should immediately, at one moment, give up all your clothes. Keep in mind that for appearing naked, your body, no matter how athletic it may be, will be treated with batons. And they will be right.

It won't be easy for you to say goodbye to your wardrobe favorites, but know that there will be no progress with those terrible tights and checkered breeches that reach your shins. In the end, new favorites will appear, and they will be many times better, and most importantly, they will make you look like a person, and not like an extra from the “New Turbo Guys.”

2. Forget everything you know

You will need to understand and accept the sad fact that the concepts of “fashion” and “style” did not exist in your life. In any case, it is called differently - the Chisinau fine fashion circle. You can argue as much as you like, but it’s as difficult for stylish people as it is for moralists to watch Svetlana Baskova’s films.
It is also important to take into account that all those things and accessories that you may have considered insignificant in your image, most often play an important role.

Now, having recognized yourself as a layman and a novice, begin to learn the basics of elegant images from the very beginning. You can even send us to hell and listen not to our wise advice, but to your girlfriend, mother, and the host of “Fashionable Sentence.” The latter, with its god-like grace, evokes psychedelic patterns in the eyes. Listen to anyone. But to take the path of correction, clear your mind. If George Clooney, having given up on his glorious acting career at one time, had not admitted that he was a complete ignoramus in directing, he would not have been able to make such films that would make people laugh.

3. Focus on the basics

Surely you already want to say: “Sedin, what kind of boring creature are you! When will normal advice begin?!” Peace of mind, my friend. Without this tediousness, similar to the psalms of the sectarians of the “Eighth Appearance of the Sixth Coming of Sid Vicious,” all further advice is meaningless.

So, where does any educational program begin? From the basics Mastering the basics (sorry for the phonetic bastard) is already half the battle. If not half, then a quarter for sure. But be careful: incorrect use or interpretation of the base is the same as poking a known place into the hole of a running meat grinder. I'm talking about fingers, of course.

4. Foundation for a solid wardrobe

So, with an elegant ladle of taste and style, we dig out the foundation for your most fashionable wardrobe within the limits of adequacy. Well, a foundation is needed everywhere. Even migrant workers don’t forget about him.

This foundation will be universal clothing: white shirts, dark blue jeans, gray sweaters and other elegant, classic and unpretentious clothes.
These wardrobe items are like driving around the city in a driving school: when you learn to wear it, when you get used to it, then you can add more interesting things.

5. Simplicity is the key to style

Remembering the god-like host of “Fashionable Sentence”, you are finally convinced that extravagance is the lot of the chosen few, because no one takes these chosen ones seriously. However, if this is what you want...
Leonardo da Vinci once said: “Simplicity is the end of complexity.” Keep this in mind when choosing clothes. The simplicity of the outfit is the brightest highlight for a man.

6. The main thing is that the suit fits

If a lady cheats on you, then she is not yours, if you are not comfortable driving a car, then she is not yours. If the clothes don't fit you, then they're not yours. It would seem that everyone knows about this. Then why does everyone wear clothes that don’t fit their size, in completely crazy colors? This was forgivable in the 90s, but now it seems like a different time. Come on, if a shirt hangs off your skinny body like a scarecrow, you don't wear it. should be fitted and emphasize your proportions, no matter how disgusting they may seem to you. It is beautiful. This is not the 16th century, and wide shirts with puffy sleeves are out of fashion. Such a shirt can only be worn if, among other things, you are wearing boots, a hat, a horse is waiting for you next to you, and you are fighting with swords for your honor. In other cases it is inappropriate.

7. Wardrobe trimming

If your wardrobe contains a little more clothes than Philip Kirkorov wore over the years of his career, then I have bad news for you. Firstly, you most likely don’t know about technological progress and the fact that clothes can be washed. Secondly, you spend too much money on your wardrobe (and probably don't wear half of its contents).
Even our beloved presenter “” (we even watched the program) admits that it is not the quantity of clothing that is important, but its quality. Or maybe he didn't say that. We simply don’t know a more fashionable and authoritative person.

So, your wardrobe arsenal should not be bursting with a variety of styles. If you start wearing the clothes we recommend, you will be surprised how little you need: just a few shirts, trousers and shoes. Let the ladies accompany each of their appearances with a new dress, you have somewhere to spend your money (you will buy these same dresses for your lady). And when the clothes are worn out, get rid of them, and assign a new wardrobe recruit to the vacant place. No, no, you don’t have to wear the same sweater for a month. But there’s no need to fill your closet with a dozen oddities and ridiculous knitted items.
So give your wardrobe a chance to breathe. Everything that is not worn, everything that is blurry, goes to grandma in the village, to the homeless in a landfill or to a Second Hand store.

8. Combine correctly

Combine the clothes left in your wardrobe correctly. Experiment, but don't go too far. Remember that cute guys marching down the catwalk in thongs and with bags on their heads are not role models. If your outfit makes you look like a cartoon character or a traffic light, then you probably threw away the wrong things after the previous point. Or put known body parts on the 4th point.

9. In the furnace of trends!

Many men think that in order to become more stylish, they must be aware of all the latest trends. Close friend of BroDude Valery Leontyev: “Why . Create your own style! And stop calling me!”
There really is no point in torturing yourself. Moreover, trends are not always adequate. The best thing is to create your own style in which you will feel comfortable. But without extremes!

10. Lightness

If you spend an hour twirling in front of the mirror and choosing an outfit, it means one of two things: either you are one of those people who, looking back, are looking for the singer Azis, or you simply assembled your wardrobe incorrectly. The main feature of a man's wardrobe (as opposed to a woman's) is confidence. Confidence in your clothes. It should look like you're not putting any effort into looking good. Know your wardrobe and know how to combine clothes. Knowing what goes together and what doesn’t, what is appropriate for a bachelor party and what is appropriate for a funeral, you will stop wasting time. Again, don't fill it with unnecessary junk. This rule is based on all the previous ones. If you get dressed quickly and end up looking like Shia LaBeouf (stretched tank top and acidic leggings), then you made a mistake somewhere.

11. Try new things

When you develop your sense of style, you open up your wardrobe to new types of clothing. There must be things there that you would never have called “mine” before. It may seem strange that after the previous points calling for elegant asceticism, we are talking about some new clothes. However, things are different. We're not talking about crimson pants and leopard-print moccasins. The great Freddie Mercury once also tried something new, and it ended for him. There are other things that are more adequate. As we said, we will have to introduce things that are brighter and more diverse. Remember the main rule - do not slip into extravagance. This is not so much a rule as advice. Many look great without any innovations.

12. Learn to love colors

You have to figure out what colors work for you, and the best way to do this is to try it out for yourself. So don't shy away from pink shirts and red sweaters. If they don't suit your dad, that doesn't mean they won't suit you.

13. Wear colors sparingly

BUT! (returning to the previous point)
You need to be very careful with flowers. Don't overdo it. Remember we talked about the cartoon character and the traffic light? Same thing. You run the risk of wearing incompatible colors. This is a big science; in fact, few people know how to combine different color combinations. I never even learned.

Wear only one item at first, leaving the rest of your clothes in neutral colors. After that, you can try adding interesting lighting solutions. And if on the streets they don’t look at you like you’re an idiot, then everything is fine. If they do, go back a step and try again.

14. Friends are comedians

By the way, friends are guaranteed to make jokes about this. from God, everyone has Viktor Koklyushkin’s school of humor behind them. Never mind what your mom used to say: “They’re just jealous.” Sooner or later this will all stop. Moreover, this is just a joke. We will not advise you how to calm them down, these are your friends. And our methods are automatically equated with propaganda of violence, which is prohibited in any media.
But if on the streets it’s not ladies with admiration frozen on their faces who point their fingers at you, but gopniks with an angry expression on their faces... you know what to do.

Listen to the people who surround you, because from the outside you always know better. It’s better, of course, to listen to advice from people who know how to dress, and not from your homeless friends who consider sandals and socks the height of elegance. And listen to the ladies, most often they understand fashion better than you. They also love to give advice on outfits. Of course, some advice will be unfortunate, inappropriate and said as a joke.

16. Be honest with yourself

If you feel uncomfortable in all your clothes, then it is better to refuse them. You can become stylish only when your appearance is in harmony with your inner state. If you're an introvert, wearing extremely loud outfits will seem strange. If you are a simple, laid-back guy, then life in a classic suit is clearly not for you. If this whole encyclical about style is not for you, just add a few touches to your image to look adequate. At least adequately.

17. This will last a long time

You will have to spend a lot of time to learn all these basics. Not as long as waiting for Liverpool to win the championship, but not as short as waiting for the dollar to rise again. All these tests and experiments take a lot of time. But for the rest of your life you will be amazed at how stylish and fashionable you are. And the girls will love it.

18. Mistake after mistake

It won't be without mistakes either. Just don’t freak out if after the hundredth attempt you look like a Romanian show business star. Everyone dresses badly, even the stars. Look at Madonna or Shia. You never know how many of them there are.
