How to look elegant and dress elegant (part 3)
After we have known everything about
how to look smart and elegant (that could be read in two earlier
articles), what to wear on special events it is time to tell
something about accessories that makes the outfit complete. We will
show also a few mistakes in dressing.
As it comes to accessories women have
so much greater choice than men. The additional items to women’s
dresses might be: scarves, jewelry, shoes, gloves, umbrellas, bags,
belts..and many, many others. An important addition to the women’s
costumes are also make-up and perfume. And here we have generally two
rules: a) dress should harmonize with accessories, in particular
color; b) additional items, including perfumes and make-up should be
discreet in the morning, and more pronounced, and heavier at the
evening.
In case of men the terms of choosing
accessories are much more restrictive. There is less to choose but
more mistakes to make. The rule is often spoken in the context of the
“TBS principle”. Only three elements because in opinion of
some people there might be only three accessories for men: a) tiepins
(exclusively for wristbands); b) braces (not ostentatiously
displayed, but hidden under the jacket); c) socks (may be single or
patterned, but must be matched to the colors of trousers or shoes and
long enough to cover the calves).
A lot of effort is needed for a man to
wear a jewelry. The main advice is not to wear gold chains on the
wrist or the neck and ornaments on hands, except for symbolic
souvenirs as wedding or engagement rings. The “TBS principle”
says nothing about most important accessory to the male dress, as tie
is. The tie is often called the jewel of male clothing hence worth
paying attention to the most important related rules.
One of those rules is to choose ties
from natural fabrics, i.e. silk (but we have to remember that it
can’t be too thin). When we decide on the fabric of tie we should
think about it’s colour that should be intense and only with small
ornaments. This colour should be more intense than the colour of
shirt and jacket. When we wear tie its bottom part should be shorter
and its upper part should be longer and what’s more, it’s length
should rich the belt. And tiepins shouldn’t be to decorative.
And in the end we can count some common
mistakes in , woman).
