Achieving A Classic Look
There are many styles and looks that you might want to go for, and you might have different ideas about what you want at different stages in your life. But sometimes, all you really want with your fashion is to have a real classic look, the kind that people look at and respect straight away, or which harks back to an older time that you are nostalgic for. As it happens, it is probably easier than you think to achieve this, and that is something that we are going to look into in some detail in this article.
Choose Classic Items
The simplest and most important thing you need to do in order to achieve the classic look is to choose some classic items to wear. These are the kinds of clothes that tend to be instantly recognisable as classic, and will work as signposts for that reason. For instance, if you wear black pumps or a white button-down, you are going to be using classic items for a classic effect. If you wear some Air Jordan sneakers, you are going to have the same kind of effect. Once you start filling your wardrobe with these items, you are going to find that it really makes a difference.
The Rule Of Three
It’s not just about the clothes you wear, however. If you want to achieve a classic look, you will also need to spend some time thinking about other aspects of your appearance, such as your makeup. When applying makeup for a classic look, consider what is often known as the rule of three. This simply states that you need to have your eyebrows, eyes and lips equally balanced if you want to achieve a classic look. In other words, none of those three should be standing out any more than the other two. If you can keep them in balance, you are going to find that your overall appearance is much more of an understated, classy and classic kind.
Get The Right Fit
You can’t really expect to look the part if you are wearing clothes that don’t fit right, so make sure that you consider this as well. This could even be one of the most important parts of the whole routine. You need to choose clothes that fit you as perfectly as possible, so that you can make sure you are going to look your best. This is essential for any look, but especially for a classy and classic one, so be sure not to overlook it.
Keep Accessories Simple
Finally, just a note to say that if you go overboard with the accessories you wear, you are going to struggle to stay classy and classic. You need to keep them simple and few, and make sure that you are not wearing too many at any one time. If you can apply this rule and the rules above, you are going to achieve a classic look in no time at all.
