10 mistakes in the combination of pieces that prevent you from looking elegant

Fashion today is an area where there are practically no strict restrictions, rules or laws. However, there are basic principles that cannot be avoided. One of them is the ability to combine pieces with each other, and respect proportions. That’s precisely what Coco Chanel was talking about when she compared fashion to architecture.

At the awesome.club we believe that the ability to create harmonious images is a kind of art, with its mistakes that are sometimes impossible to avoid. But the most common among the avoidable ones are compiled in this collection.

The set of an identical hat and scarf is the simplest and most obvious option for winter clothing. However, due to the latest mix-it-all trends, this combination seems old-fashioned.🇧🇷 Instead, you can choose:

However, the most important thing is that the scarf and hat complement the outfit.

Capri pants follow the second season without giving up their positions in the world of fashion and adapt perfectly to any look (except in winter). The uncovered ankle makes the silhouette clearer and more elegant. Shoes with straps reduce this effect to nothing. Therefore, instead of them, it is better to use classic shoes, loafers or ballerinas.

One of the main methods of creating a colorful image is the use of prints. It is possible and even necessary to combine different patterns, but this requires some skill. Otherwise, you will end up with a very complicated costume that is difficult to perceive. Here are some rules for combining different prints.

The most universal print is geometric. It goes well with almost all the others. Drawings of different types must have at least one color in common. Patterns of the same type will work, but if they are different sizes (for example, large balls with polka dots).

Dilute clothing that contains different patterns with monochrome clothing🇧🇷 For example, opt for a bright top with monochrome pants and jacket.

It seems that a set of a jacket and a skirt is the winning combination. It remains only to add shoes, a pearl necklace and… become a matron of the last century. The same jacket will look completely different in combination with jeans and a topas well as a blouse or shirt combine perfectly with a pencil skirt.

Even if it doesn’t cost anything to put your jeans inside your boots, it’s better not to. First, because it “cuts” the leg, especially if the boots and jeans are of contrasting colors🇧🇷 Secondly, this combination unbalances the silhouette, emphasizing the hips. Especially disastrous are jeans tucked into narrow boots with heels. Opt for jeans with booties or tall boots with a wide top, riding boots, flat-soled or rubber musketeers.

White shirts pose a problem: they are often see-through, especially if you wear inappropriate underwear. Many women mistakenly believe that a white bra will be invisible, but in fact, this garment can be seen even more than if it were black or colored. The ideal choice of underwear for a white blouse is a beige braand white will do for clothes thicker than the shirt.

The trapeze skirt is a universal piece that adapts to almost all types of silhouettes. With a skirt of this type, you can combine practically any garment in the upper part: T-shirts, shirts, voluminous blouses, etc. The only exception is the trapeze blouse, which in combination with a trapeze skirt makes the silhouette look like a triangle.

There is a simple rule: the shorter the skirt, the smaller the heels should be🇧🇷 In the case of a miniskirt, the thickness of the heel also plays an important role: the thinner it is, the more imperceptible the line between beauty and vulgarity becomes. Therefore, it is better to leave high heels for skirts and dresses that reach the knees, and accompany the miniskirts with low stable heels, booties, espadrilles or sneakers.

Lately the fashion world has been invaded by the oversize, and sets consisting entirely of tight parts have lost their relevance. In addition, they emphasize any defect of the silhouette, no matter how small. It is preferable to combine skinny jeans or a fitted skirt with a voluminous top, and a lush skirt or flared trousers with a fitted top.

For a long time it was believed that dresses and skirts should not be seen under coats. Now there are no such strict rules, and the longer skirt can even be noticed. Nonetheless, a coat to mid-thigh in combination with a straight skirt visually shrinks the legs🇧🇷 It is better to wear a coat of this model with trousers or jeans, and for a straight skirt, choose a longer model.
