What is Style?
Some fortunate individuals are born with good taste and style; they have a natural sense of
colour and design or have grown up under the guidance of a mentor. Most of us have not
been so fortunate.
What we know and believe comes from the important people in our lives, our friends, parents,
grandparents as well as from factors such as our education, social and economic situation.
This guidance may not be sufficient to get us to where we want to go in life and when this is
the case we seek the information we require from other sources.
To develop style means to reconcile what suits our height, shape and age from what's
currently in fashion and to understand which ‘looks’ are appropriate for what occasions. In
other words, to become a woman who understands fashion without becoming a slave to it.
Tuition and the experience of trial-and-error can give any woman, from any background the
ability to achieve a look that is fashionable, flattering and in good taste.
Our personal ‘taste’ affects the way we co-ordinate colours, patterns and fabrics. Learning
about harmonious colour schemes, appropriate patterns, how various fabrics drape and relate
to our individual shapes and how to skillfully co-ordinate jewellery are all-important steps in
developing good taste. Start by studying fashion magazines and pattern books to sharpen
your awareness of shape and design.
Simultaneously the gaining of this knowledge and experience will allow you to express the
woman within and will then give you the confidence to become creative with your wardrobe.
From that point onwards dressing will become not only a pleasure but also each shopping trip
an adventure.
