In the wardrobe of today's fashionistas, capsules should be somewhat different in its purpose, according to the season, in style solution. For example, Capsule for the weekend, "resort" capsule festive capsule, the capsule office, summer and winter.   The sine qua non - compliance capsule lifestyle.

5 must have this fall?

- Coat gray
- Astrakhan fur coat
- Sweaters with various decorative elements.
- Dress translucent finest silk, chiffon or velvet.
- Wellingtons boots or boots, stockings above the knee.

What items of clothing add-aged woman, and which on the contrary - the young?

Age added first things that do not match the natural color palette. They can be "dirty" skin tone, add fatigue and pain, to focus spots, wrinkles and under-eye circles, dullness add eyes and hair. Contact is in its color scheme, by contrast, allows to refresh the skin, add brightness and thus make it look younger. This is especially true of things and ornaments, located directly at the area of ​​the face.

Depending on the age, and this not only after thirty, it is worth learning objective relative to its appearance and to consider the appropriateness of the concept, since time error and experimentation has passed, try to focus exclusively winning places the figure, to seek elegance.

Are there things that principle should not be worn, for example, after 30?

There probably are not things that should give up and clothing items, which should be given special attention: Long style, exposed parts of the body, the color of clothing that does not have to be flashy Barbie-pink or Nenov, tissue density - careful with transparent materials and thin jersey, wool. If necessary, use the techniques of visual correction, do not neglect modeling underwear.


Accessories make the style - say fashion experts. How to choose the right accessories to outfits? Are there any "universal" accessory that fits all?

When choosing jewelry, especially should pay attention to the color tone, which must lie in the same plane with your color type. Focus on the color of the eyes, skin and hair. If hair contains cold tone, pure color and light ashy shade, and eye color blue-green, gray, blue-gray, gray-brown - give preference to jewelry made of white gold, silver, platinum, cold tone stones and pearl gray or white colors.

If the hair color contains a golden color, and eye color golden brown, green and gold, green and blue - you fit ornaments of gold and bronze, stone and warm tone, cream pearls.

Also important role is played out - it must match the stature and growth. The figure of a large physique will look more on the background of miniature handbags and jewelry, and vice versa, slightly built girl will look even smaller if opts for accessory "large" scale.

To create a harmonious way, are important features. Avoid precise geometry provided in the face of the predominance of smooth, rounded lines. Conversely, if the lips, eyebrows, nose and eye shape contain mostly clear, straight lines, decoration with round elements to emphasize the dissonance and violation of the integrity of the image. This applies not only jewelry, but also prints accessories, such as scarves or handbags.

It is necessary to remember the image of moderation in addition accessories, try not to overload the image and set no more than two - three accents, placing them depending on the direction in which I want to draw attention to the area. For example, the earrings in a duet with a bracelet or necklace, handbag and ring.

And finally, the most important - consistency in the same style. For example, the classic dress will not be friends with "ethnic" belt and handbag with a floral print will not create harmony with the classic jacket office.

The most universal accessories - jewelry is a classic shape with a minimum of components and a simple design. Also it could be a classic belt buckles, plain scarves or scarves with unobtrusive figure.
