Girls often face the question: dress fashionably or dress stylishly? What is style? What is fashion?
Fashion is deservedly compared to distilled water: it has neither smell nor taste. You open a glossy magazine or look through the latest fashion collections, look at movie stars and pop stars ... They all show off in the most fashionable outfits, but do they look stylish?
Often, the bad taste with which they combine the most expensive things is amazing. Very few well-known Hollywood actresses, recognized beauties, singers, TV presenters, models can boast of their own style. Dress with taste, create your own individual image - this is style! That's what you should strive for. A stylish woman worthy of admiration will always be in the spotlight.
But how to dress stylishly?
Being stylish, and not even spending your entire salary on clothes, shoes, accessories and other feminine features, is not so difficult. The main thing is to know the measure in everything and learn to choose the right things and combine them correctly. What does correct mean? These are the things that are right for you: not a mannequin in the store, not a girlfriend on whom you saw these wonderful shoes, but you.
Learn to choose what suits you in terms of color, shape and style, add a couple of original accessories to well-chosen clothes, and you will get a bright, stylish, modern look. Even a bright, summer top can be skillfully included in a business look - put it on under an elegant skirt suit and dilute the “tackiness” with strict accessories.

Stylish, beautiful or trendy?
In the "center" of style - always individuality, personality! Dressing in the image and likeness seen in the magazine, doing the hair with which Jennifer Aniston walks, is not a manifestation of style. Don't think that dressing up from head to toe in Louis Vuitton is going to impress everyone around you. Fashion trends are good, but expensive clothes and a famous Italian brand, unfortunately, do not guarantee the elegance of style. In neat jeans and an elegant tunic girded with a handmade belt, you will achieve much more! Remember, simplicity always wins!
And even more so, if you do not have enough money for branded, famous things, do not buy fakes. First of all, they are always worse in quality. And secondly, believe me, a knowledgeable person will figure you out in a minute. And it will be very disappointing if your girlfriend or colleague reveals the secret of the “Cherkizovsky market” after a half-hour discussion of your new boots from Dolce & Gabbana, and your stylish women's clothing turns out to be cheap.
If no one knows, you will subconsciously feel uncomfortable, your movements will be constrained, and the image will still be false. Better - shake up your grandmother's chest: vintage things are in fashion today, but take a 2-year-old blouse to the country.
Also, do not imitate a friend who flaunts in a delightful dress or sundress. Even if you really like this thing, you will become a hatchery chicken, a reflection of her image and, as a result, you will lose your individuality.
For work, pick up a three-piece suit that fits perfectly on your figure (or better, two), two or three dresses, a blouse, a tunic. For everyday life, you need jeans, pants, T-shirts, sweaters, a cardigan - a list of what should be in the wardrobe , I think you know.
To stand out, focus on accessories: shoes, belts, scarves, hats, glasses, watches, bags, jewelry (brooches, bracelets, bijouterie, jewelry). They are very noticeable against the background of soft outfits, such as black, gray, white. Complement your formal outfit with a red scarf or a colored belt, and you will make your look more intense and attractive.
