Trendy flowers or plaid? How to choose a print of clothes according to the type of appearance: stylist’s advice

Often, we girls do not know what to rely on when choosing our own style of clothing. There seem to be so many things that we like, everything looks so good on the mannequins that as a result we start frantically trying everything on the racks in the store. But our enthusiasm fades after the third or fourth thing, when we get fat from the next blouse, the skirt doesn’t fit at the waist, and the pants turn out to be short for some reason.

It is especially difficult to tame prints: pea, leopard, flowers, cage… Either too vulgar, sometimes too serious, and sometimes it even seems that the thing was created to turn the beautiful half of humanity into a sexless creature. How not to get lost in the shops? Is it possible to learn to see “your” thing from afar? What is the secret of those who say “that girl has great taste”? Today I want to touch on the topic of different types of beauty and analyze which prints adorn this or that look.

Where should we start our search?

1. First you need to ask yourself questions: What am I really looking for? Where will I wear this item? What impression do I have to make? As soon as we have a clear idea in our head about the desired purchase, our search circle is significantly narrowed.

2. Second, you need to go to the mirror and evaluate your external data. No, no, not body type and color type, but your appearance type! Imagine and think for a few minutes: what role would you like to audition for in Hollywood? Would you like to play a sassy Bond girl? Or would you look more organic in the role of romantic Rose from Titanic?

Or you can think about what animal you associate with. A cute doe or a furry squirrel? Cute cat or dangerous tigress? This means that in order to understand which print and thing suits you, you need to analyze your facial features. Ask yourself: in what geometric shapes can I find more: can angles, circles, arcs or even a square be traced in the face? Look at your eyebrows, eyes, nose, lips. Are there cheekbones, or is the face oval more of a circle? Do you have a pointed chin, or does your line run smoothly?

If your facial features are wide, but at the same time smooth, without sharp angles, eyebrows are raised high, lips are plump and the nose, as ordinary people say, potato, then your type is natural.

Clothes with a nature theme are suitable for you: soft fabrics, a loose silhouette, oversized clothes that are in fashion now, bags with fringes, felt hats with a wide brim, etc. And the patterns that will decorate you are those that repeat the features of your faces that are smooth squares.

If you look very young and are always given a younger age than you actually are, you are small in stature and your face is dominated by angles and arches, while you have big eyes and lips with a bow, then your type is called gamine, another way of being a child type.

You will be decorated with completely different clothes: shorts and skirts, a transparent jacket with contrasting trim, a vest, moccasins, fashion icons and so on. Your prints: hearts, cats, small diamonds, Mickey Mouse… In other words, everything that refers us to the school theme or another frivolous style when we had carefree moments as children.

There is one more type – the romantic. Faces are dominated by circles and arcs. The facial features are small, doll-like, and the oval of the face is rounded. Tender Turgenev’s girl was created for women’s outfits with accentuated waist and hips, with rounded collars, frills and frills.

Fabrics should be soft, flowing and airy, just like you. And the most popular of all girls, the floral print really suits you!

Another type is called dramatic. And it’s clear from this girl that she’s a bad joker. A bold Amazon, she can drive any man crazy and wrap him around her finger. Angles predominate in the face of playwrights: a predatory gaze, a sharp nose, thin lips and clearly defined cheekbones. Height above average or very tall.

Of course, such beauties can be seen from afar and their task is simply to emphasize their wild nature. To do this, you need to opt for monochrome combinations, laconic forms, diagonal lines and elongated silhouettes. Perfect for this task are floor-length trousers and skirts, elongated jackets and sweaters, and any accent on the shoulder girdle. Choose fabrics that are strong and hold their shape. When choosing patterns on clothes or accessories, bet on wild flowers, wide angles, large geometric or animal prints.

And the last main type is classic. This type is not so easy to calculate: a person can look organically in any style, because he has balanced facial features. They often say about them: “Scoundrels fit everything.” Why is this happening? Because you can see circles, squares, arcs and angles in the face of the classics. The main recommendation for the classic type is not to overdo it!

Your task is to be a noble aristocrat and wear only high-quality fabrics, laconic styles and stick to the golden mean in everything! Your prints: plaid, polka dots, houndstooth, herringbone, symmetrical paisley.

Before we go to the store, we must try hard and know ourselves from all sides and also have a clear idea of ​​what we have to buy. Knowing your type of appearance and a clear goal will help you not to miss the choice and also get the status of a girl with good taste.
