Allow me to slightly modify the legendary quote and say: all ages are subject to fashion failures – regardless of experience, even the most successful fashionistas occasionally slip up. Because at every stage of life we are often overcome by the same “wish list”: in our youth we are drawn to show a rebellious nature, then we have the crazy idea that the wardrobe lacks sexuality, then we are drawn to something branded. … Familiar? And even at the age of forty, when, it would seem, your own style has already been more or less created, a typical mistake appears on the horizon …
Yes, yes, you heard right: if you are overly scrupulous when choosing an outfit and literally tremble over all the details, this effort can go to waste with us. When everything in clothes is too predictable and combined in every detail, the effect of something lifeless, frozen is obtained. But your image, on the contrary, should convey character, enliven, rejuvenate!
Such a side effect compromises the look if you overdo it with headsets, for example. The same earrings, bracelet and necklace are no longer a sign of wealth, but a sign of bad taste. The same applies to a hat, gloves and a scarf from one set: they quickly age the image, making it stereotypical, faceless. And your style will immediately disappear against the background of typical clothes. It is much better if you combine, for example, silver and gold, or take gloves with lipstick and a scarf with a sweater.
The same goes for prints. If you add, say, a stripe and only a stripe (and the same everywhere) to a monotonous outfit, that’s a reason to stop. Combining different patterns is a fresh move! Yes, it takes more time – it’s still worth checking in front of the mirror that your idea looks interesting and not clumsy. But it won’t be “naphthalene” – you’ll see for yourself how your outfit will play when you stop trying too hard and achieve perfect “synchronism” in everything!
