"Fashion passes, style remains." Coco Chanel
Once these four words spoken by Coco Chanel, caused a heated debate around these two concepts. And today, more than half a century later, no one can answer the question: to be fashionable or stylish. Here everyone chooses to chase the windy young lady fashion or choose your style.
Fashion serves as an inspired source of ideas and a way of manifestation.
Style is much more accurately expresses who you are and how you present yourself to the world. This is not a financial opportunity to buy a fashionable thing, but a way of manifestation of the inner Self. It reflects our mood, education, worldview. Style has no value expression, it is difficult to replicate and this is its uniqueness.
Fashion and style-concepts that can not be clearly separated, they complement each other and can not exist separately. Fashion aims to develop taste, and taste allows you to develop your own, unique style. Style is what we look for by looking inside ourselves, trying to be fashionable.
The essential difference between them is that fashion is reflected in things, and style only in the person who wears the clothes or uses the things.
In the pursuit of fashion, we forget the main thing-our own individuality!
It is important to look good, tasteful, not fashionable, to find clothes that reflect the character. Don't be afraid to be unfashionable. Wear things that suit you, and no one will analyze what they are from the collection. But if a fashionable thing does not suit you, everyone will notice it!
You have to be honest with yourself, remember your age not to be comical in the outfit is not appropriate. Just do not forget about their shortcomings and fight with them, then the dignity themselves bulge.
To be yourself is always harmonious, and to be stylish is always fashionable. Therefore, if you take it as a rule, determine your style, follow the fashion and choose the best.
How to find your style?
The desire to be stylish rarely leaves anyone indifferent, but everyone copes with it in their own way. Someone experiments and achieves his by trial and error, someone asks for help from professionals, and someone prefers to do nothing. Hence the closet full of faceless and grey things, bad companywise with each other. The claim that you can create a "style without effort" is false.
Style always requires effort, and often considerable. The sense of style Matures gradually, changes with age, grows and is perfected in process of formation of the personality. Only when a certain maturity and courage in the choice of clothing, color and silhouette, justified audacity in matters of fashion, then the style is born.
Have you noticed that the most stylish women in the world are surprisingly constant in choosing clothes. They chose their recognizable style. For example, Kate moss, the famous top model, with all the wealth of choice is usually dressed almost the same: skinny jeans, high heels, a jacket combined with a t-shirt, leather jackets, fluffy fur vests or jackets. The style of this legendary model is always recognizable. But in such clothes it is difficult to imagine another stylish woman-Victoria Beckham. Despite the fact that sometimes their things are similar in purpose, the style is completely different. Each subconsciously chose their own image and clearly adheres to it.
The word "style "comes from the Greek" stylus", which means a writing stick. In this sense, the style can be considered as a recognizable handwriting, because it is all different, therefore, the style is also individual.
Books and glossy magazines are full of lots of tips on creating style. But for some reason, these, in General, the right things do not add up to a stylish image, that's the difficulty. The thing is that the template advice does not fall on the unique individuality of each person, because everyone strives for self-expression.
People bright want the original to stand out from the gray mass, but a shy, on the contrary tend to join it. From this point of view, any clothing is nothing but a form of self-expression.
In fact, style is nothing but a way to Express yourself through appearance. Appearance is the most stable component of style.
Focusing only on appearance, you can pick up a lot of options for a very successful style, suitable for a particular person. The type of appearance, proportions of the figure, height and weight often determine which of the styles fit perfectly. There is a type of women who are best suited t-shirts, men's shirts, voluminous sweaters, jeans and do not go feminine dresses and elegant clothes. They look ridiculous in business clothes, too. Therefore, even in the most formal clothes they always need an element of negligence. Of course, this does not mean that elegant and business clothes they can not wear at all. Just such women do not fit the conventional options.
Evening wear for them to deliberately simplify otherwise you can get the option "like a cow saddle" and feel it in this outfit will be "out of place."
There is another type of women who, on the contrary, as if created for luxury and feel great in the world of satin, velvet, lace and fine hairpins. But in jeans and t-shirts they are not immediately possible to distinguish from the surrounding crowd. This does not mean that they are doomed to walk in brocade and heels, they just all and always need an element of elegance and brightness, whether fabric or cut.
For everyday wear, they will need not just casual, but casual luxury, that is, products from expensive fabrics and knitwear, such as cashmere.
But it so happens that the type of appearance does not coincide with the impulses of the soul. Even with all the diversity and democracy of modern fashion can not be called a stylish combination, such as athletic build and romantic lace. Then style remains only beautiful, but someone else's mask.
What to do?
After all, the real harmony is achieved, the outer shell and the state of the soul begin to sound in unison. In this case, one thing remains: the appearance and soul to bring to a common denominator individually. And prioritize.
Style is always a choice between "Yes" and " no " and should not only look beautiful, but be psychologically comfortable and natural, and most importantly — harmonious.
