STYLE TIP OF THE DAY #1…. BALANCE AND PROPORTIONS
“Fashion is architecture, it is a matter of proportions” -coco chanel
People always tell me that i can wear anything, pull off any outfit. Well, i’ll tell you why: it’s all about balance and proportions.
If you have an outrageous piece of clothing with wild patterns, pair it with something in a solid suttle color. If you have bright colored accessories pair them with simple pieces of clothing to make them the centerpiece of your outfit.If want to wear something with unique form, pair it with something tight. Pair loose, large, men’s shirts with tight short pencil skirts. The masculine of the men’s shirt and the feminine skirt contradict each other in a way that cancels out the radical aspect of the outfit, leaving the look totally wearable.
The length of skirts should also be in proportion to the rest of the outfit. Unless the look revolves around the skirt, a skirt that is too long and too massive will degrade from the overall look. Think about how much of that color/pattern is needed to accompany the rest of the outfit and then choose the appropriate length skirt.
But of course, confidence is also a key ingredient to pulling off outrageous outfits
