Re: How to wardrobe?

[(Anonymous)]

As others have said, figuring out 1) your body shape and what looks good on that type, and 2) what colors you look best in are the place to start.

Go to the library and look for books on style and wardrobe. Look at a bunch of them because none will be perfect and all will be influenced by the time in which they were written, the lifestyle of the author, and so on. The first book put out by the American version of What not to Wear is great because not only does it have a section for men but the women's section deals with all-over body shapes rather than specific features and has short, average, and tall variations for each. If you are a woman, I've even found books on wedding planning to be helpful, since the sections on picking the right wedding dress have info that can be applied to other kinds of clothes.

For colors, this is something you can read up on, but ultimately you will need to try things on in lots of different colors and develop a sense of what works. As was said, nit everyone fits perfectly into the supposed categories, and it's also possibe to miss-categorize yourself if the criteria aren't well-written. Be brave and try on colors you wouldn't immefiately assume would work. Also, remember it's not about whether or not you look good in blue, it's about what SHADES of blue you do or don't look good in (the answer might be "none" but don't dismiss the color entirely just becausr one shade didn't work). How light/dark a color is, how saturated, and whether it's mixed with other colors matters.

re: style books, it's a weird suggestion, but Victoria Beckham's "That Extra Half an Inch" is really good and funny. With the caveat of OP that you shouldn't treat it as gospel because it's older (it's very 2007 in a way that's hard to describe), she wrote it in this hilariously breezy tone that differentiates it from a lot of style books that want you to think "FASHION IS SERIOUS" and can be intimidating. This one is a lot of "It's fun to buy expensive clothes when you can but you don't have to, my Posh Spice dress that everyone thought was Gucci was actually $15 from the High Street, it's all about how you present yourself and finding what works for you, but spend money on yourself when you can, you've earned it!"

Not OP but loving the sound of that Victoria Beckham book (not a sentence I ever thought I'd type). Will be checking it out, thanks anon!
