Admit it! We all have asked ourselves the question, “how do I put this outfit together?”, at least once before. Yes? Well now that we have established that, let’s discuss a few tips to make that complicated subject a wee bit easier.
SC has put down a couple of points to help you build an up-to-date wardrobe for the season:
Color Harmonies
One can make a hacky sack and leggings work, if only you get the colors right from top to toe! The right color coordination contributes heavily towards the making of a great outfit, and is vital to your style and individuality. The key is to balance hues, for instance add a dash of bright to a neutral outfit through accessories.
Balance of the Silhouettes
This is the reason why most fashion faux pas are broadcasted like the nightly news. Cracking this one isn’t rocket science, but a few tips in the right direction never hurt. And the code to this mystery is Fabric. Certain fabrics are meant for certain silhouettes and vice versa. Also pairing the right silhouettes and the right fit to the right body type is crucial in making a style statement. Confused? Well, Team SC is only a click away!
Classics Vs. Trends
This one’s our favorite! So to quickly sum up, must-have wardrobe staples for all year round – a LBD, a crisp white shirt, a well fitted pair of jeans, a classic oversize tote, a goes-with-all pair of flats, you know how it goes. When it comes to current trends, on or off runway, make them work in your favor instead of falling victim to fashion’s meanest game.
Key to Pairing Prints
Most of us avoid pairing prints for the obvious reason that there’s a 50% chance of it being a hit or a miss. And while most of us have been a part of the latter, let SC cure your aversion to prints. You can play it safe with pairing a bold and a delicate print, or you could team feminine and androgynous prints. But for colors, sticking to classic combos always works when pairing prints.
Accessories
A girl cannot do without them! The right or wrong accessories can either save a bad outfit or kill a great one. And what most of us find tricky is to tell how much is enough, but the age old ‘less is more’ has never failed us and isn’t about to. For instance, an embellished or sequined outfit needs no baubles. Avoid anything on the neck with outfits that have an interesting neckline detail or a collar, while a statement necklace can turn a plain solid color dress into cocktail evening attire.
Lingerie
Having the right lingerie is the key factor while putting together an outfit. No one likes an ill-fitted bra or panty lines showing through skirts. It’s not only the right size that matters when choosing the right innerwear, but, the right color and design, the right fabric, etc. are important things to keep in mind when picking up lingerie to wear.
