Не дивлячись на те, чи купаєтеся ви в грошах, чи у вас пусто в кишенях, ніколи не витрачайте гроші на речі, не оглянувши існуючий гардероб. На перший погляд старомодні речі можуть виявитись приємним доповненням до вашого вбрання. Не купуйте речі за надмірними цінами в маленьких модних магазинах. Щоб не переплачувати, краще зачекайте на розпродаж.
В наш час майже кожна жінка не може обійтися без вишуканого костюму. Костюм (однобортний, двобортний, із спідницею чи штанами) стане в пригоді в будь-якій ситуації. Не захоплюйтесь рюшами, вишивкою, мереживним оздобленням, декоративними строчками, ґудзиками, застібками-блискавками. Все це виходить з моди дуже швидко, а класичний стиль завжди модний.
Ви можете продовжити життя костюма, придбавши ще одну спідницю, бо жакети зберігають гарну форму довше, ніж спідниці. Спідниці можуть бути різними: довгими прямими, широкими, плісе, вузькими, кльош, із запахом.
Ще одна необхідна деталь гардеробу – сукня: вечірня, з відкритою шиєю чи плечима, але не захоплюйтесь накладними плечима. Одним вони пасують, інші виглядають пугалами в них.
З кольорами вам треба бути обачними. Пам’ятайте, що блакитноока блондинка буде виглядати не зовсім привабливо в блідо-блакитному вбранні. Їй більш підійде жовтий, вишневий чи чорний. Блакитний колір буде пасувати чорнявій дівчині. Ваш капелюшок має теж бути бездоганним.
Взуття може зіпсувати весь вигляд, якщо воно старе, стоптане або не начищене. Туфлі, босоніжки, сандалі, кросівки, чоботи мають бути охайними і не тиснути.
Пам’ятайте, найкращим вбранням є те, в якому ви почуваєтесь зручно і щасливо.
