Anna Harvey is a legendary stylist for Vogue and was once the stylist of the late Princess Diana. Therefore, he knows very well how to look perfect regardless of age or financial situation. So how to ensure a timeless elegant look regardless of fast-changing fashion trends.
Here are style tips from Princess Diana's stylist to help you look stylish.
Follow the A-line.
The so-called A-line skirts suit almost every figure. When choosing such a skirt, remember that you need to adjust the top, which means that it should be narrow and close to the body. The same rule applies to the reverse situation - if you are going to choose a narrow skirt, then it is better that the upper part is a little looser. Anna says it's all about balance.
Careful with folded wings
The stylist says that pleated skirts only suit women who are in good shape: they emphasize the stomach and hips. For those who want to shift the focus to the waist, choose a pleated skirt that starts at the hips.
Shop with your daughter.
Anna believes that we need to go shopping with the right people. Friends will say that something suits us only out of politeness (or jealousy). An adult daughter will honestly judge your new device.
Don't be afraid of bright colors.
Colorful clothes improve well-being and create a positive atmosphere. When choosing evening wear, Anna suggests forgetting the standards and wearing something colorful and interesting. He suggests the color of sapphire, emerald green, the color of pomegranate, the color of raspberries and blueberries. If you still swear by black, then add some nice jewelry. If you are going to wear tights, they should be of a suitable tone.
Buy clothes in the right size.
Anna emphasizes the following points:
- Remember that slightly looser clothes make you fitter, while tight clothes can emphasize the parts you want to hide.
- Coats and skinny jeans should be at least one size larger. Never look at the label, choose the number you are comfortable with.
- If something really fits you, then buy more pieces. Many agree that the perfect piece of clothing is hard to find, so it makes sense to buy a few good pieces in advance (especially if it's a white shirt). If you find pants that fit you perfectly, then buy one for heels and one for low shoes.
- When shopping for a jacket, make sure it's really comfortable. Hold your arms out in front of you and see if the jacket fits well on your shoulders and back. If you feel discomfort, then this is not your number.
Choose tights that match your skin tone.
Anna recommends buying tights that match your skin tone. If you are buying colorful tights, choose a larger size so that the color does not fade when stretched. Remember that shiny socks make the leg stronger, and matte socks slimmer. The exception is the summer months: then the shiny socks on the legs also work naturally.
Earrings are just as important as mascara.
Anna believes that earrings are at least as important as mascara. I also think that cheap jewelry is not the best decision. It is better to buy a pair of pearl or diamond earrings if you can. Good earrings will complete the image perfectly.
Avoid leggings.
If possible, avoid leggings altogether. If that doesn't work for you, then combine them with long tunics and dresses. When buying them, pay attention to the quality of the fabric. It must not be transparent. Choose a model with a higher waist.
