How to stay stylish and feel comfortable in any situation

Summer - it's time to travel. But those who remain in the city, too, do not have to be bored. What should be your wardrobe, he tells Anna Sharlay, author of the book "Stylish travel light"Professional and human transformation through his style.

1. Unleash Creativity

You will have a long-awaited vacation or just a trip? There is a problem of choice: to take more things and dragging a heavy suitcase or go light, but look every day monotonous.

No need to look for a compromise. Try pokreativit, include fantasy in the planning image travel or events in the city. After all, it is often the clothes rearrangement leads to rethink their style, their opportunities for development, a way of life in general.

2. In each situation, looking for a stopper

I recently had a trip, first had to fly to Milan for shopping with the client, to visit there a social event, to return to Moscow and immediately conduct a master class. For all these situations, it was necessary to make such clothes that not only look beautiful, but also feel comfortable.

The solution is simple: when planning a wardrobe for such trips or activities important to find the biggest limiter. This thing that you need to focus and which we are most limited. Stop does not have to be clothes. In my case it was the bag I had to be mobile and cheerful (and with a suitcase is not so easy). Therefore, all images for this trip built around this part of the wardrobe.

3. Remember that the bag - an indicator of the relationship to our emotional experience

For women bag - this is a very intimate thing. And all because it is the bag reflects our emotional experience. It is an experience of relationships with his mother, colleagues, children, husband, with his work or a hobby. And choosing a bag, we unconsciously associate it with this experience and feelings, and not focus on style or image.

I think you probably have a friend who may dress differently, and the bag she is the same in every situation.

In drawing up the wardrobe is important to recognize their "feeling of the bag." There is a pattern: the more uncoordinated parts and things, the more the cost of treatment and the perception of the image. And it affects the people's attitude towards us.

When you force others to spend a lot of energy to the realization of your image, you lose their favor and confidence. Therefore, a holistic way of - is primarily a manifestation of respect for themselves and others. And the bag when you create that image plays a leading role.

4. Consider the distance to other people

In drawing up the image and planning a trip, you can take into account the distance from other people. If you are performing in front of a large audience, the image must be expressive. Minimum fine detail, high spots. An illustrative example - ballerina with bright makeup. This image from the back rows perceived as a harmonious and correct.

If you, for example, running coach, you have to close communication at short range, the image should be concise and less catchy, with individual details.

One more important point... If you act with the report on a complex subject, you need to look just as much as possible. This will allow the audience to focus on the material. Conversely, if your goal - just to attract attention, then you can do so at the expense of image detail. You are interested listeners invoke credibility, and then to the very topic of conversation.

5. Select the main principle of a combination of things

1. The combination of color. Suitable for emotional people who demand color story. This principle can choose the people who have a bright appearance (eye color, hair). In short, where there is ink and the contrast principle of combining clothes by color - very expressive means.
2. The combination of textures. Ideal for people who have a pronounced features of appearance. This can be a complicated shape of the face, wrinkles... Also, such a principle is suitable for those who have to communicate a lot in the short run. That means a combination of invoices? This is when you have a thin blouse and jeans, rough jacket and light pants, opaque compound and sequins. On the psychological level, this principle is to adhere to those who work with material things (florists, artists, builders, tailors, designers).
3. The combination of lines. This line cuts, and patterns. Suitable for people who in appearance have the characteristics (for example, an aquiline nose). Using this principle, you can demonstrate your character: strong-willed, rapid, decisive - straight lines and angular; more soft, flexible nature - flowing, water lines, patterns, colors, motifs.
4. A combination of things in silhouette. Travel and travel, this principle is the most difficult, since it contradicts the convenience. But it is well suited for those who consider their ideal figure. The choice of the principle of the psychological level suggests that a person close to its corporeal world, slightly inclined to laziness. This changes the silhouette of things, such as a hat, belt, heels, help a person to do something atypical for him.

6. Gather information to correctly pick things

You will need:

1. Information about the things themselves. How do they behave? Crumple quickly get dirty, you cooled or heated? Examine your things in this plan in advance. For example, if we know that the thing is not wrinkled, you can roll it tightly, as if wrinkled - to solve the problem with iron or to put it in kraft envelope.
2. Knowledge of its features. How much you freezes, sweat, get tired, you get dirty? If you know that often pours coffee, it is important to put in a bag napkins. If you are prone to colds - a small first aid kit. Try to examine yourself and provide for such situations. With the means at hand, you will feel much more comfortable and safer.
3. Knowledge of the context, why and where you are going. What kind of a country or a place where you are coming or going? What kind of people will be there and that they tend to? Even if you go easy on the secular dinner, but your company will be dressed informally, you will feel uncomfortable in an evening dress. Conversely, if your companions love to dress up, even on an ordinary dinner, the dress will be handy.

7. Remember licked style is now irrelevant

Therefore, seek not to buy footwear and a bag of the same color. It is better to let your imagination run wild, experiment. After all the experiments, creative approach to the issues and challenges to help us in a new way to perceive themselves.

8. Sometimes, when you purchase need to give yourself time to think

Think twice before you buy something. Shopping trips, longer look in the mirror, feel thing and understand how you feel in it. Fortunately, now many stores give two weeks for a refund for any reason the purchase. Use this time to see if you need a new dress. Often it also happens that the thing in the store is not very much, but after a while it becomes a favorite.
