Image Consultant Secrets by Ferial Youakim - How to Look In Style

PRLog (Press Release) – Jul 15, 2009 – Staying in style doesn't necessarily require that you to spend a fortune. Looking in style starts with you investing some time to understand:
•   Who you are

•   What you have

•   Your figure type

•   Your best hue

•   Your lifestyle

•   Your personality


Who you are: and not what others want you to be and not what you see on the front cover of a Vogue magazine.
What you have: without comparing yourself with others, but always compare yourself to whom you are willing to be.
Your figure type: by remembering that you are UNIQUE and special in so many different ways.  All you need to do is find your hidden assets, which we all have but we still tend to focus on the bad rather than the good.  
Your best hue: your skin undertone is either cool or warm, so dress in a manner to compliment it.  It will give you a special glow to your look.
Your lifestyle: dress accordingly to fit your lifestyle your age and the occasion.
Your personality: understanding your mood and personality to dress in an appropriate manner to compliment the way you feel from inside.
Here are a few principles for you to dress and look like a million dollars without spending a fortune, after taking into consideration your personality and lifestyle.


•   Buy quality rather than quantity

Every one knows that quality fabrics fall and sit better, wear better and compliment the figure more.  Keep in mind that having one good quality skirt in a good versatile fabric that you can wear in several seasons is always better than a dozen skirts in a collection of colors. You can never go wrong by choosing a neutral color for your foundation: white, black, brown, or beige. They will go with most things.

•   Wear accessories that are in fashion

Accessories are one of the easiest ways to update your wardrobe without breaking the bank; just add a new handbag, sexy sandals or a new necklace.

If you're not sure what's in for the season have a look at a good fashion magazine like Vogue, In Style, Glamour, Harper's Bazaar, or just go window shopping.  Normally all the shops will have the latest colors and styles in the front windows.  

•   Train yourself so you can shop wisely

Buy things because you need them and because they compliment your figure, in the right colors to make you feel and look great, not because they have appeared on some editor's must-have list or on the sales racks.

•   Shop the sales and check out consignment shops

If you can't afford trends that just hit the catwalks, try to buy a look-a-like in the best quality you can afford. Keep in mind fashion comes and goes; furthermore, when trying to keep up with the latest ‘must have’ you tend to lose your way by choosing the wrong colors and styles, just because it’s the thing to have for this season.

•    List  the things you need to buy to add to your closet in the latest trends

Every season there's a new trend in style or color, and it's usually not too hard to figure out what it is.  Use colors that are in, as accent pieces e.g. bright scarf, or a camisole to go under a suit or the latest must have handbag and shoe to show that you are conscious of the latest fashion and that you are current in style.

•    The right fit

Is the outfit you are wearing highlighting and complimenting your assets and hiding your imperfections?  I can not stress enough how important the fit is. I can assure you, if you buy two outfits, one is a haute couture without fitting properly onto your figure, and a second outfit bought from a very economical shop but was fitted onto your figure, I can guarantee you, the outfit from the economical shop will look like a haute couture and will look like a million dollar outfit, while the other one will look the opposite.  

•   The right amount and the right techniques of makeup
Your makeup should be current, updated, and in the right shades to compliment your face and coloring, allowing you to sparkle and glow.  Keep in mind not to wear the wrong colors that will make you look exhausted and sick.  Furthermore wrong colors will show every imperfection and line.
•   Wearing the right shades and colors
Wearing the right colors is very critical.  The reason is that if you are wearing the wrong color it will show every imperfection you have and it will make you look sick and older than you really are.  Wearing the right color, especially around your face, will give you a natural glow that make you look fresh, healthy and younger.
Looking in style all the time may be challenging, especially if you are not sure about what style suits you body or personality. I went thorough a sufficient amount of detail above to help you find your way, but do consult with us, or a professional, if you feel unsure or need some help at any point after all, we are here for you.
