Style Session 2: Piecing An Outfit Together

 

So piecing an outfit together. I thought it only right to include this in the beginner Style Sessions as this is a key part of fashion, style and Stylenomics. Many will give you different answers to the question : how do you piece an outfit together? 

Well , I'm going to tell you the most simplest ways, because that is the whole point of these first few sessions; covering the simple basics so that way we have a solid foundation to build on! 😌 

So let's get cracking! 

Step 1: Choose A Focal Point 

The best way to build an outfit is to build around one piece. It's always easier if the focal point is part of the base layer such as statement trousers, a printed top or a colourful blazer. It's always better if the focal point is somewhat of a stand out piece because trying to make the eye instantly go to beige is a very difficult feat! 

Step 2: Building Around 

Now you have chosen your focal point, it's time to build around it. Now this is where your staple pieces come in; where you add the nice fitting blue jeans and the simple, long-sleeved top.  You want the focus to be the focal point so you don't want anything that would steal 'the spotlight' off the focal point; which would defeat the whole point. 

Step 3: Accessorise 

Now accessorising can go one of two ways; you can either pick subtle pieces that compliment the outfit as a whole or pick out colours from your 'statement piece' or 'focal point' and then use those colours for statement jewellery pieces that catch the eye but still compliment the outfit. 

So there you have it; the second instalment of Style Sessions, 
I hope you enjoyed it and the next Session will be :
