And, finally, let’s dwell on two points that are not related to either clothing or accessories, but without them it is impossible to look elegant:
- Maximum naturalness, suggesting a negative attitude towards everything foreign in the body. Forget about silicone implants and Botox injections, acrylic nails and false eyelashes. Believe that you are beautiful just the way you are.
- Polite and friendly behavior and the ability to give compliments attract much more positive attention than fashionable clothes and accessories.
IMPORTANT: Fashion is not the desire to look like a peacock, it is a perfectly fitting skirt, well-chosen trousers that lengthen the legs, it is a dress that makes a woman literally float above the ground.
This is the moment of buying a new handbag that changed a girl’s life, these are shoes purchased for the amount that you put aside “for a rainy day”, and then suddenly realized that it was not destined to save up. It is definitely better to spend money on a new dress than on a psychoanalyst or buying antidepressants.
Good taste takes years to develop, day after day. As soon as I stopped doing this, no matter what age, old age begins to creep up. You don't have to be young and perfectly beautiful to look great.

Just not maxi, not made of expensive materials, without glitter or ruffles. Choose a dress made from plain, matte fabrics, or without sleeves. Throw a jacket of the same type of material over it, so that if it gets stuffy, you can take it off and continue enjoying the evening.

Dressing in all white will make you look 7kg heavier and 7 years older on screen. In everyday life, white outfits can be worn by both fat and slender people. For example, if you doubt the ideality of your figure, wear a dark jacket over a white shirt and leave it unbuttoned. Two side lines, positioned vertically, will fulfill their assigned function - to reduce unnecessary volumes.

It is better to tie the belt on a trench coat in a knot, having first fastened not all the buttons.

Look expensive and cost-effective in boho
Delicate, romantic boho will help you dress up stylishly and well-groomed for once or twice without spending money. Boho is a little bit Natasha Rostova, dressed in lace and flowing fabrics. The style looks expensive and attractive, and slight carelessness in the image only plays into the hands. Clinking accessories, Indian jewelry, mehendi on the wrist, a luxurious sari - and you, born “in silk and velvet” by Maharani Gayatri Devi, look just as expensive and stylish.
Boho is romantic and cost-free - just a light sundress and a good mood
How to dress according to your appearance color type
The color type of your appearance will help you choose your ideal palette. The important thing is not how popular the shade is and how many fashion designers have included it in their collections, but how it combines with the shade of the skin, eyes, and hair. If designers persistently promote jet black, and a woman looks pale and suddenly aged in it, it’s time to stop chasing fashion and pay attention to your type.
Fashionable clothes for women with a calm, gentle “summer” color type should be made in cold or neutral colors. Bright colors are only permissible for ladies with a contrasting appearance, and they can drown out the modest elegance of a typical soft “summer”. Complex shades with expressive undertones are welcome.
Cold tones also suit a contrasting “winter” girl. Preference should be given to deep, intense shades, and blurry, powdery pastels can deprive the winter type of its spectacular chic.
Owners of the “spring” color type can afford many different shades, rich and muted, warm and cold. You will only have to refuse colors with a pronounced admixture of gray and too dark tones.
For women with an “autumn” type, stylists recommend excluding pale pastel colors from their wardrobe, as well as shades with pink undertones, so that the skin does not appear too ruddy.
But you can safely dress in outfits made in multi-component colors. Mixtures of yellow, brown, and green will make “autumn” a real beauty.
How to buy clothes on a budget?
Keep clothes simple
If you need to buy clothes, check the design before you buy them. Keep in mind that any extra little addition (like unnecessary buttons, sequins or silkscreen) is just one more thing that can fall off or fall apart. Don't get hung up on, say, a T-shirt that looked stylish on the hanger but now looks handmade because the silkscreen has peeled off! Put it back on the shelf and choose a simpler item.
- “Simply” does not necessarily mean “simple.”
- Remember: black and white striped trousers are cut no differently than solid black trousers! If you want a little more jazz in your clothes, look for pieces in a variety of prints and materials.
Avoid clothes that need dry cleaning
If budget is an issue, check the care label for each item at the time of purchase. Buy only clothes labeled “machine washable.” If the label says the item needs dry cleaning, put it back. Keep in mind that dry cleaning is often expensive, so get the most out of your purchases by sticking to items you can afford to wash regularly.
- Give your machine washable clothes a longer life by using only cold water when washing.
- Then dry the items in the machine on low heat or simply let it air dry.
Don't rely on belts
There are exceptions to every rule, but be careful: a cheap belt often looks cheap. Don't ruin your casual-chic look by wearing these awesome pants with a bad belt! Buy pants that hold up well on their own, even if you already have a good, quality belt at home (just in case it gets lost or gets damaged).
- If you need a belt for your pants, don't worry about it. You're aiming for something stylish yet casual, so keeping your shirt unbuttoned is the perfect way to show it off. .
- If you like to wear loose dresses while drawing attention to your waist, wear a tighter top or jacket instead of a belt.

What to look for when creating a fashionable casual wardrobe
The incredible popularity of casual style is explained by the desire of women to finally leave behind the myth that beauty requires sacrifice. Modern fashion trends have freed millions of ladies from daily doubts about how to dress – beautifully or comfortably?
The ultra-fashionable style of clothing allows you to combine things that seem incompatible at first glance and remain elegant and feminine at the same time.
Casual denies strict boundaries and uncontrolled dependence on fashion trends. Its main principles are convenience, originality and freedom of expression. If a woman can create a harmonious set from ripped boyfriend jeans, a long knitted cardigan and elegant pumps, she does not need the approval of fashion trendsetters or authoritative image makers.
There are only a few inappropriate elements in the casual style: uniforms, suits for sports training, evening dresses, strict office sets and items from other colorful styles - boho, grunge, glam rock. Provocative and pretentious elements are also undesirable. A deep neckline, lush flounces, frivolous ruffles, glamorous sequins and sparkles do not fit well into casual fashionable looks.
The field for experimentation is huge. As part of a comfortable style, trousers and jeans, T-shirts, tops and shirts, sweatshirts, sweaters, pullovers and cardigans, flowing floor-length skirts, “sun” models and classic “pencils”, shirt dresses and loose silhouette styles, stilettos , sneakers, loafers and ballet flats. Many sets are so universal that you can appear in them in different places - at work, in a cafe, in a cinema - and always feel attractive and appropriate.
Simple casual
Simple casual answers the eternal women's question about how to dress beautifully in an extremely simple way: comfortable and a little casual. Simple, relaxed images characterize this subtype of urban style as fully as possible.
The basic wardrobe of a simple casual fan consists of jeans, loose light chinos, knitted T-shirts, T-shirts, long sleeves, knitted jumpers and cardigans. The preferred color is plain or with a small, unobtrusive print: such things are much easier to combine with each other. The color scheme is neutral and calm, but bright elements are also not prohibited. The main thing is that the bow does not look too catchy and defiant.
You can add originality to your ensemble with the help of accessories. Small shoulder bags and roomy totes, leather backpacks, voluminous scarves, baseball caps, colored sunglasses will help emphasize a woman’s own character and mood.
Chic casual
The ability to harmoniously combine completely incompatible things belonging to different styles. Combining luxury and comfort is a real talent that not many people are gifted with.
Modern looks in incomparable chic casual are usually composed of bright contrast. Combining sneakers and a cowboy hat, a knitted jumper and a layered tulle skirt, ripped jeans and a delicate satin top with lace into one ensemble is real chic. It is available only to brave and self-confident ladies who are fluent in the art of looking stylish and original.
Chic casual loves expensive accessories that can be worn next to simple mass-market items. Exclusive bags and wallets, branded shoes, hats, and luxury watches will help emphasize the status of a fashionista.
Smart casual
Dressing for the office is not boring, but if you follow all the rules of the dress code, smart casual will help. The essence of the trend is to look stylish and wear appropriate, yet comfortable and fashionable clothes.
Smart casual can be tricky. It does not set strict boundaries or prohibitions, so when putting together an ensemble you can make a lot of mistakes and, instead of an elegant and extraordinary office set, end up with an absurd set of things that are absolutely not in harmony with each other.
It should be understood that all components of a basic office wardrobe must fit into the dress code. Sandals with rhinestones on a dizzying platform, a colorful textile backpack and frayed jeans with studs in the office walls are categorically inappropriate and cannot be justified by the trends of modern fashion.
The components of a separate smart casual capsule wardrobe depend on the strictness of the charter of the organization where the woman works. Traditionally, it includes trousers - classic, cropped with turn-ups, culottes, plain dark skinny jeans, pencil skirts, A-line, flared midi. Strict men's cut shirts, blouses, tops, knitted or knitted pullovers, jumpers, sweaters, cardigans, turtlenecks can act as companions to the lower part of the ensemble. Jackets, blazers and cardigans are an absolute wardrobe must-have in a charming style.
Respect casual
Respectable business women who value elegance and comfort choose respect casual. This is an expensive and sophisticated style designed to demonstrate the high status of a business woman.
A look in a “respectable” style should consist of expensive, high-quality items. The basis of the wardrobe is a classic suit. The ensemble can consist of a ready-made set or be assembled around the main, basic part - an elegant, high-status jacket, to which are selected suitable fashionable trousers or a skirt.
Respect casual bows are distinguished by laconicism and elegance, and the emphasis is on interesting combinations and luxury attributes. Monochrome images look the most elegant and noble. Preference is given to neutral colors - black, dark blue, brown and beige, but deep burgundy, bottle green, thick indigo can also be a good solution for creating a chic set.
