As the fashion genius Giorgio Armani said: “To be elegant does not mean to be conspicuous, it means to be remembered.” And to stay in the memory of others forever, you need to know the basics of creating an irresistible image.

website I am convinced that these valuable rules from beautiful style icons will help you complete your look and make it even more feminine.

Grace Kelly

  • Wear puffy skirts in a new look style.
  • Choose outfits with drapes.
  • Focus on elegant accessories: long gloves, pearls, hats, scarves, round earrings.
  • Give preference to simplicity.
  • Wear discreet makeup: porcelain skin, discreet eye makeup and light (red for evening outings) lipstick.

Elizabeth Taylor

  • Choose simple dresses: fitted, with an A-line skirt/sun with a neckline.
  • Don't be afraid to be eccentric: wear furs and lace, complement your outfits with beads/sequins/rhinestones/feathers.
  • Wear clothes in the most saturated colors.

Audrey Hepburn

  • Stick to the main rule: "Take a close look at yourself and find your strengths."
  • Give preference to black, white, red and sand colors.
  • In everyday life, choose fitted knee-length skirts and turtlenecks in black / dark brown.
  • Do not forget about accessories: an elegant handbag, long silk gloves, diamond jewelry, hats.
  • Wear pumps with low heels.

Marilyn Monroe

  • Bright lips and a smile are the basic rule at all times.
  • Choose feminine sexy pin up/new look/preppy dresses.
  • In everyday life, wear simple cut clothes: a sweater / turtleneck in combination with a fitted knee-length pencil skirt, men's cut shirts.

    Opt for smooth fabrics, simple basic colors like black, grey, white or beige.

    Wear stilettos.

Sophia Loren

  • In order to look elegant, you need to choose only high-quality things. Decide what you really need and buy the best quality.
  • Stick firmly to your position in what you truly like and suit. Sometimes the opinion of others only prevents you from finding your style.
  • Do not get carried away with tight-fitting styles.

Brigitte Bardot

  • Choose a dress in which you can go to any evening event. Let it sit perfectly on you and make your eyes shine.
  • Instead of high heels, wear modest flats.
  • When in doubt, wear a hat! The main trick is to choose a headdress for the type of your face.

Catherine Deneuve

  • Wear mid-calf length skirts, classic cut blouses with a small neckline.
  • Do not use more than three colors in outfits.
  • Pick things that match perfectly with each other.
  • Apply minimal makeup: lips and eyebrows are slightly emphasized, shadows of soothing shades are on the eyelids.

Vivien Leigh

  • Choose natural makeup. Focus on eyebrows and lips.
  • Wear comfortable casual clothes that emphasize your femininity: fitted jackets and simple straight skirts in an ensemble with strict men's shirts.
  • Of all the colors, give preference to black.
  • Complete the look with accessories: hat, belt, neck jewelry, antique jewelry.

Monica Bellucci

  • Focus on only one part of the body: opening the legs, hide the neckline, and vice versa.
  • Opt for solid colors, simple prints, and lace.
  • Remember that the main female weapon is bright lipstick and loose hair.
  • The most correct skirt length is just below the knee, so you emphasize the beautiful curve of the hips and the shape of the legs.

Angelina Jolie


A girl in a classic white shirt dress (knee-length, with a belt at the waist) wonders if it is too bold, is it possible to walk everywhere like that. The dress is not transparent, there are no cuts on it, lace inserts on the chest, there is no pattern from the Kama Sutra on the back. Plain white shirt dress.

But the girl is very worried. They write to her: “Great dress”, “Sits great”, “Where can I buy this?”, But the girl resists - it seems to her that the outfit is loose in the shoulders, that the length is strange - and does not open or close the knees (that's bad luck! ), and the neckline is almost extravagant (the collar is 2 mm wider compared to the classic-classic).

And like this every day: attractive girls with good taste are sure that they look ugly, unsexy, unfeminine, boring, unfashionable. You honestly think they are trolling. You look at a pretty woman in a beautiful dress that suits her very well, and for some reason she sees herself as a clumsy klutz who chooses clothes that disfigure her.

Technique No. 1 Get rid of the fear of judgment


In the USSR, people were very afraid of not being like everyone else. You leave the house - and a crowd of hysterics will rush at you. And there were times when you could be taken to the police for an unusual hairstyle or pipe pants.

Our parents lived under such pressure all their lives. Therefore, they, as usual, “wish us well” - they are afraid for us, they are trying to protect us, therefore they criticize - well, so that, God forbid, no one on the street makes fun of us for some unusual shoes or dress. And we get used to the fact that someone constantly condemns us.

“Yes, no one will marry you in such a dress,” her mother constantly told my friend. It was just about the A-silhouette! About the classic A-line, which, from the point of view of my mother, was a "bag of potatoes" because it did not emphasize the chest and waist well enough. By the way, if a friend put on something tight, she found out that she had neither breasts nor asses - and, here's a surprise, she again heard that "they won't marry her in such a dress."

Those close to us know how to hurt us. I don't know how they do it. Just two offensive remarks - and you no longer love what you used to love. You don't love yourself.

It is clear that it is difficult to take this habitual fear at one moment and destroy it. On such fear, any psychologist will earn himself a nice little house in the village (with a bathhouse). But you can practice on your own. It's like a sport. At first you really don’t want to, then everything hurts, but at some point you start to enjoy it. And then suddenly you are already "on the needle" - and you cannot live two days without classes.

Here you stand like this in the morning, looking at the little black dress, and thinking in a panic: “Everyone will see my shoulders and knees in it! I won't survive this!" Inhale. Exhalation. This is an ordinary dress! It doesn't bite! Do you think people will judge you? Maybe! Hey! Get angry! Say to yourself: "Go to hell!". Protest is the only way to overcome your doubts.

You must rebel. Against the opinion of mom, dad, older friend, younger employee, people on the subway, boyfriend or husband, herself. Even if this revolution is only that you put on a skirt two centimeters shorter or three shades pinker than usual - this is your victory, your huge success! Step forward! Confident step.

And don't forget to ask yourself, “What right do all these people have to judge me? Are they flawless? Do they look better than me?

Reception No. 2 You have taste!

For fear of causing discontent and condemnation, many invent to themselves that they have no taste. But this cannot be. Every person has a taste. Yes, sometimes it is bad, but there is a catch here. “Bad taste” is not an abstraction, it is simply a disagreement between a person and himself. People can be dressed oddly (again, according to couch critics and a perpetually dissatisfied mom). But "weird" to you often looks "chic" to others. And so constantly.

“Bad” is actually about the fact that a person does not see himself. A simple example is Anna Semenovich. She has large breasts, which, of course, complicates her life, as it is very difficult to find a "top". And, as if to spite, Anna always chooses such tops that either turn her breasts into a pillow, or deprive her of her neck, or throw out almost the entire breast entirely from the neckline. It seems that she does not see herself in these outfits at all. Probably, Semenovich, like most women with very large breasts, hates this breast a little, and despair blinds her eyes.

The usual thing.

Wide waist? Immediately put on a tight-fitting dress made of thin material so that the waist visually becomes twice as wide! Feet a little shorter than you'd like! A short top, jeans with a low waist and shoes that visually reduce the feet so that there is absolutely nothing left of the legs come into play right there. You see, this is a common move - to emphasize ... I can’t write the word “shortcomings”, because these are not shortcomings, each of us has such “shortcomings”. The word features is better here. I really love my body, but I have a chubby ass - and I can’t wear certain styles. Straight-fitting knitted dresses immediately make me breeches, “ears” on my butt and, in general, create the feeling that my hips are loose (without clothes, all this is not there, but certain things “pull out” these oddities from somewhere). Well, that's the special effect. Probably, if I didn’t love myself (and I did in adolescence), I would only wear such dresses. I wore them until I was 20 - and suffered a lot because of my "ugly" ass.

If you put on a pink dress with a brown belt, and your friend was horrified: “This is wildness!” It doesn't mean you have bad taste. Tomorrow, pink and brown will be declared the sensation of the season, and a friend will be the first to run to buy both a dress and a belt for him. But if you put on such a top, over which and under which folds of fat previously unfamiliar to you suddenly stick out - then this is “bad taste”. You are hurting yourself on purpose. Stop it! Don't fight yourself. Love yourself for who you are, and wear clothes that fit your figure - and you will always be beautiful and stylish.

Reception No. 3

Imagine that you are not an adult girl with a career, a husband and a child (well, or not an adult girl with a job, correspondence on Tinder and your favorite plush unicorn), but a child. You are a child. A girl who squeals with happiness when she sees sequins, ballerina-like skirts, pink and lilac (perhaps clear feminists will condemn me for these gender clichés, but personally I think that in an ideal world, both girls and boys are delighted with sequins , pink and ballerina, because it's beautiful and fun). The girl grabs pink, red, a crown with diamonds, pants with Moomins, sneakers that flash with multi-colored lights, puts them all on at the same time, instantly smears a white skirt-pack with chocolate ice cream, falls on fresh grass and rides on it, experiencing wild delight.

When was the last time you were so excited about skirts, pants, sequins, ice cream and grass?

We are too grown-up (read - clamped, serious, boring). But clothes are just fun. Remember the facial expression that you usually have in a store or in the morning in front of a mirror - you will lie down in a coffin with it and be strict, elegant, dead.

Even if not every girl is ready to bring joyful and crazy outfits from Gucci collections to life, still be lighter, simpler, brighter, sillier, more fun.

People whom everyone admires (and immediately hates, condemns, criticizes), these Style Icons - they are “without brakes”, they are creative, free, courageous. Let's say you're not ready to be like Rihanna, but are you ready to be "none"? It is safe, but dreary - and, most importantly, no one will pay attention to you. Even if your style is a T-shirt/jeans or a shirt/pants, it is important that it is your choice, and not a concession to fears and reproaches, mothers and colleagues. Don't let yourself be intimidated. Don't be afraid to be yourself. Rejoice in yourself, your clothes, your taste - there is no perfection, it's all subjective, so you personally are perfection in your own universe.

How to become a street-style icon: 11 stylish rules

In vain, perhaps, you spent the entire party cash desk on updating the park of boots and coats on Black Friday? People should see your new clothes. Take your wardrobe out for a walk, and in order for a whole flock of street-style photographers to come running to you, follow these simple rules.

Enter Wednesday

The photographer will not come to you, which means you must come to the photographer. Register under the doors of the most fashionable art center. Persistently walk around the editorial offices of fashion magazines. Hang a schedule of all high-profile events on the wall and go to them as if you were going to work. Street style bloggers are lazy people and do not crawl out of their habitat. They have nothing else to do, as soon as they chase you around the entire Northern Zadripanovo.

Choose an environment

Once you get to where bloggers live, find a suitable background. A picturesquely shabby wall will do, bike parking is also good. But stay away from the crowd of the same handsome men - nothing should distract attention from your person. The competition here is high, remember.

wear a hat

The less it fits with everything else, the better. Put on a straw boater with a down jacket, a wide-brimmed musketeer with a leather jacket and a cap with a floor-length dress.

Don't part with a cardboard cup of coffee

Everyone knows that urban dandies are terribly busy. By the time you match your hat to your scarf, half a day will pass, and you still have to spend hours walking along the sidewalks, and selfies #newlooks won't do themselves. Therefore, they eat and drink on the go. But forbid you Wintour to drag around with a cardboard box from Deshmansky network of coffee shops - on a glass there should be a logo of a decent place.

Carry a bag

Your task is to achieve as much resemblance as possible to a woman on a teapot, because you won’t surprise anyone with tightness and tightness, and baggy reserves for creativity are simply limitless. Wide pants, a sweatshirt 5 sizes larger, an oval coat, three scarves and a chair cover - that's our way.

Don't put on, but put on

Never put your hands through the sleeves of your coat. Street style icons wear everything upside down, even if there is a blizzard outside and classes at schools have been canceled.

Walk with a trailer

One mod is good, but two is twice as good. A couple of freaks is a godsend for a fashion blogger. Yes, and you profit. You won't feel like a lonely lamppost waiting for your 5 minutes of fame.

Put it on all at once

Layering - hip-hip-hooray. Pull on sweatpants, a pair of skirts, three sweatshirts and two coats. That's what mom will be happy about - for once, the child dressed according to the season. Before you leave, check your closet to see if there's anything left in there. If it's lying around, take it out and put it on.

Feign mild insanity

Street style loves people with a little head tilt. The roll is usually picturesque. You have to look like you were abducted by aliens last week and not quite brought back.

think over the speech

You just won't get away with it. If the photographer catches you, you will have to explain why you put on a purple fur coat made of the fur of a young cheburashka with birkenstocks and where you were going to go in this form. Say that this T-shirt was given to you by an unfamiliar transvestite at Burning Man, purple inspires you and makes you think of the northern lights over Iceland, pants from a secret second-hand store in Bars, your best friend lost her virginity in this hat, and you are going to a movie premiere about the graphite artists from Johannesburg. Bag – Azzedine Alaia.

In our selection, we will tell you how to dress up so that others will see you off with their eyes, or even try to take a photo with your participation.

Let's start with shoes.

1. Dear ladies, do not pay attention to the size of shoes before you buy them and even more so put them on in the world! If you like shoes - feel free to take it and there is nothing to think about.




Protruding toes or a spanking heel add elegance to the look, but do not collect ridicule at all.

2. And if you are lucky with the sandals of the right size, what difference does it make what protrudes from the sides?!



In narrow shoes you will look incredibly fashionable and stylish! And those who laugh are just jealous of your taste. And let them not try to scare you with deformity of the feet!

3. If your nail polish has peeled off or your nails are sick, this is not a reason to wear closed shoes.

In advanced cases, you can try to hide the untidiness by wearing footprints. Ask your grandmother, she will surely have it!

4. When choosing shoes, do not pay attention to the weather.




After all, you can’t hide fashionable summer boots or sandals if it’s already cold and it’s raining in autumn!

5. Both men and women should remember that wearing shoes under sweatpants, you show others your refined taste.






And those who do not think so, simply do not understand anything in fashion.

6. Another win-win option is socks and sandals. Stylish and most importantly comfortable!








7. And this guy knows for sure that only short sports socks should be worn under shoes and trousers.

Others will notice and immediately appreciate the good taste.

8. Short summer shorts with black tights in autumn or, especially, in winter, are worn only by sophisticated ladies with a perfect sense of style.



Moving smoothly from images with shoes to clothes, I immediately want to also talk about sizes.

9. When choosing clothes, you should not pay attention to the specifics of your figure, and especially overweight. Remember, worrying about such trifles is the lot of insecure people.





We all know that smaller clothes make you look slimmer.

10. Find new uses for old things. Like this woman, for example. After all, one wants to ask: “Did she mix up a T-shirt with a skirt or is it a conscious choice?”

11. Forget about trivial combinations in clothes!

Yes, looking at these people, it seems that they did not look at themselves in the mirror before going out into the street. But this is their highlight!

12. And this is how representatives of the stronger sex can add a little glamor to their image. Shiny, pink with palm trees or colored cuffs shirts add courage and solidity.


13. Remember, there is no such thing as a lot of floral print and ruffles! And don't listen to those who tell you otherwise




14. A large number of accessories is the first sign of good taste in a person.



Do you think that this girl has a cat or a raccoon in her bag? No, that tail is an absolutely amazing bag accessory! It looks especially good on handbags made under the skin of a python, right?

15. Transparent and too revealing clothes always attract attention. So don't be afraid to use this trick as often as possible.



T-shirts and mesh t-shirts are especially successful in complementing a business look or outfit for a date.
