Monotony in clothes

You've probably noticed that when you look good, you feel great and your mood rises. It all depends not only on health or unique cosmetics, but also on the clothes you are wearing. You need to learn how to dress so that the clothes help you feel much better.

Correctly selected clothes, taking into account your figure and proportions, will hide figure flaws, but this does not mean that it will be one of the most expensive. You must use all the benefits that clothing can give you.

Today we will talk about uniformity in clothes, it is this technique that helps us look slimmer and taller. By the way, this is a favorite technique. Giorgio Armani.

What does plain clothes mean? No, that doesn't always mean that your suit is in the same color from head to toe. Various variations are possible. And the advantages of monotony are that such a suit looks quite advantageous, because the attention is more often directed to the color. Everywhere and everywhere, the first thing we notice is color. A monochromatic ensemble creates a powerful vertical that visually increases growth, thus, a monochromatic suit slims down.

When talking about monotony, one should not think that the whole ensemble is limited to one texture. If different objects are made of materials of different textures, but in almost the same color, it will be gorgeous. Textures such as tweed effect, knotty, jacquard designs and other types of relief will create an interesting image without resorting to colors, and at the same time, they will not violate the vertical that makes you slim. If you want to look romantic, you can add a silk or chiffon scarf, lace or velvet to the ensemble, which will add luxury, or maybe a leather belt.

The magic of solidity is not just having your entire suit in just one color, but generally approaching that. You can mix almost any color of the same shade, creating interesting looks, because each color has many intermediate shades. Try not to overdo it, especially for bright colors, since the transition from one color to another can draw a clear line, and it is undesirable for this to happen in those problem areas from which you want to divert attention.

It is advisable to use lighter shades in the upper part of the suit, and dark ones in the lower part, so you can maintain the correct proportions, and the gaze is more often directed to the face, and not to your problem areas. Interesting variations give shades of gray, brown, blue, but see for yourself ...
