If you have not previously contacted a stylist for the selection of clothes, then you may be interested in questions such as how to prepare for shopping, what to wear and take with you. Therefore, here I will talk in detail about this.
PREPARING FOR SHOPPING
Before making an appointment in stores, we will discuss what tasks require images, what budget you plan to spend on clothes. This allows me to determine which stores we will go to and helps me determine the shopping route in advance. Shopping usually lasts at least 2-3 hours, so it’s best to take care in advance to dress comfortably, to be full and satisfied. This will allow you to concentrate and achieve the result faster. There is of course a legend that shopping is the best cure for stress. But if we are not talking here about situational purchases, but planned ones, then stress is an unsuccessful companion in choosing clothes. Many clients prefer to photograph some of their things before doping in order to show me and take them into account in new images. It makes sense when there are 2-3 pairs of shoes or several coats. I think it’s clear why this is necessary.
WHAT TO HOPE FOR SHOPPING
Not smart, but neat. There are always lots of lights, mirrors and people who look good in shops and malls. And it’s not even that someone will look at you, but that we like ourselves. Because during the fitting we correlate clothes with both the face and the hairdo. And fresh manicure will only decorate and bring a finishing touch. Well, clean hair, of course. In other words, you need to look so as to please yourself as much as possible, which greatly improves your mood and motivates you to choose the best clothes. When a person does not like himself, his inner feeling is strongly reflected in the choice of what he buys. Put on clothes that are quickly removed without a lot of buttons and fasteners. Clothing should not hamper movement and the desire to try on things.
Otherwise, shopping can turn into a burden. Note also that at different times of the year, in different stores (talking about shopping centers), there can be completely different temperature conditions. Moreover, both in winter and in summer air conditioners work and you never know where you can be overtaken by cold air or stuffiness, especially in the fitting room area. In this case, 2 thin layers of clothing are very helpful. It can be a blouse with a cardigan, a top with a jacket or a dress with any top. Such a two-layer kit is easy to transform and, if necessary, to undress or warm. And let the correct underwear be on you that “holds” the shape. If this is not the case, then let me know about it and we will begin the selection of clothes from underwear. Which is also important. And yes, most likely we will try on skirts and dresses, so if you plan to come shopping in trousers, then bring kapron tights with you. Footprints for trying on shoes, as a rule, are given in any shoe department.
WHAT TO TAKE FOR YOURSELF IN SHOPPING
A minimum of things that will allow your hands to remain free. Usually this is a small handbag that holds a phone, discount cards, credit cards, car / apartment keys and lip gloss. Be sure - nothing more will come in handy for shopping. Men usually don’t have to remind about it, because they either have a small bag for personal documents, or everything is distributed in pockets. Many of my clients also prefer to bring along a small bottle of water, so as not to look for it afterwards. Air conditioning systems operate at full power and the stores always have very, very dry air. This is additional comfort and basic care for well-being. Recently, I have been ordering coffee less and less, quietly replacing it with a bottle of water without gas, at room temperature. When our process is delayed for more than 3 hours, then we take a break for a cup of coffee or lunch. Many people need a break and get advice in the image, so we are happy to combine and spend time with benefit.
