People who dress up more quickly like their managers are getting promotions. After all, by their cover, people tend to judge a book and are attracted to people of the same type. That doesn’t mean we should all look the same. We can, however, follow rules that suit us all and help us to look better.
1. Correct proportions
Divide the figure visually into three sections. The top should be 1/3 of your entire body length, and the remaining 2/3 for pants or skirts should be left.
2. Oversize clothing
When tucked in at the front, over-sized clothes look better. This is going to highlight the waist and make you look slimmer.
3. Sleeve length
A jacket’s sleeve should end close to the wrist bone. The shirt’s sleeves and jacket’s difference should be 1.5-2 cm.
4. Ankle boots
You can visually shorten your legs by wearing ankle boots with a short skirt. So, if you like ankle boots, it’s better to wear them with jeans, shorts, or long skirts.
5. Pocket square
If you have any questions about your pocket square’s colour, choose one that is black. It’s a shade that suits everyone. It’s also better not to match your tie’s colour with your square pocket. They should be complementing each other instead.
6. Accessories near your face
Do not overdo them. No more than 3 accessories should be available. It can be glasses, a necklace, a hat, a brooch, or a shawl. Choose and combine the 3 you like the most.
7. The secret to a perfect coat
Before buying a coat in a store, put on a warm sweater. It will help you pick a coat that isn’t going to get too close and fly out of your back.
8. Tights
To match your skin, choose tights, they should be invisible. They are not meant to have any tan impact and should not be shiny. Black tights should be chosen based on your clothing’s thickness. The finer the fabric, the tighter the tights.
9. Length of your trousers
The most traditional and classic length should be picked. It means that your feet should be hidden by 1/2 — 2/3 of the length of your pants. This will help you look more mature.
10. One colour
Don’t dress in a single colour. If you use various one-colour colours, it’s easier.
