Anna Harvey, one of the most famous women in the fashion world, stylist Princess Diana, former editor-in-chief and fashion director of the British Spindrift With 30 years of experience in the industry, I wrote a book about how to always look perfect everywhere.
Initially, the publication is addressed to women older than 50 years, but the rules, which the fashion expert advises to adhere to, will definitely be useful for both young ladies and ladies of much more mature years. The creation of the book was attended by influential women from the world of fashion - Donna Karan, Linda Evangelista and other stars. What advises Anna?
Do not divide clothes by age
The expert is convinced that 40 + women dress in the same way around as they find, and not themselves. Harvey recommends that women look for their own style, not focusing on the division of clothing according to age categories - there is no need to strive to look younger or to be a fashionista, it is important to find what goes to you personally.
Find a role model
If you have difficulty finding a style, choose a woman who is recognized as an expert in this field. Pay attention to celebrities, women politicians, actresses, top models. Try copying their style. Anna Harvey highlights Michelle Obama, Tilda Swinton, Kate Winslet, Daria Zhukova, Natalia Vodyanova, and Kristin Scott Thomas.
Do not buy tight and narrow things.
Anna recommends paying attention to clothes that are slightly larger than your usual size. Harvey advises to examine yourself in front of a mirror or in photographs, to determine which part of the body it is desirable to correct with the help of clothes and shaping underwear. “Believe me, everyone does it, even Julia Roberts,” says Anna of shapewear. She even advises buying skinny jeans one size larger, and outerwear two sizes, so that the thing fits well on sweaters or jackets.
Give two!
More precisely, take two things if you like them, are comfortable and fit well. Anna cites the example of Kate Middleton, who appeared in public in the same model of dresses - black and red. Feel free to buy two identical models, yes, you can play with flowers. This is especially true for basic clothes, for example, shirts or turtlenecks, successful trousers.
Get rid of old
Update your wardrobe regularly - you can always wear only a blouse and pants or a suit and a T-shirt, but it should all be new. Old things are aging, the fashion expert is convinced - and this is more noticeable from the outside than you might think. In addition, even things of a classic style change with time, from cuts to the shoulder line.
Use accessories properly.
Are small bags non-functional? Hmm, but this is a decoration, an addition to your image. Put a large bag in your car that will hold everything you need for the day, but go out with a small clutch. An important rule of wearing jewelry: the more expensive, luxurious and larger - the younger the age of the wearer, or the higher her social status, if the woman is “good for…”. In other cases, sets, heavy ornaments age. Wear one thing.
Choose things for your day
Think about how your day should pass. For example, if you are to photograph, dress up brighter - green, red, orange always look better on the photo than restrained and delicate tones. In any case, regardless of the clothes, smile - this is the key to your flawless image. And remember: if you are uncomfortable in what you are wearing, it means that the outfit is chosen incorrectly.
