Hair and fashion

Maybe you have never thought about it, but
changing your hair color has the same importance
as choosing a dress or matching the right jewelry
with your outfit
The hair is a very important accessory and its color
plays a crucial role

Choosing the hair color

Changing the color of your hair can transform your
appearance, making you look younger and
attractive.
There are three main ways you can change your
hair: by choosing a striking new color (going from
blonde to brunette), by lighting or darkening your
natural color or by covering up the grey.

Choosing the hair color

Choosing the right color can be very difficult,
especially the first time you try something new.
The most important thing is to take into account
your skin tone, to make sure that the color will look
natural on you.

Choosing the hair color

This is especially important as you age, due to the
fact that the skin tends to get paler as you grow
older, and dark hair that looked stunning in your
20s can look to harsh when you reach your 50s.

Choosing the hair color

In the daylight, hold a card with the potential hair
color directed up to your face, so that the color
reflects on your skin.
Often a contrast looks good: skin that is red in tone
will look redder with red and may look even better
with dark, more bluish-tinted hair.

Choosing the hair color

SKIN TONE

COLOR CHOICE

PALE OF IVORY

Any hair color will look

good when young, when
older avoid dark or
intense colours.

ROSY

Avoid red or goldenblonde: choose ash

tones to neutralize your
skin tone

Choosing the hair color

YELLOW

Avoid yellow, gold or

orange, go for deep reds
and rich burgundies

OLIVE

Stay dark, adding

richness: warm chestnut
or burgundy will look
good.

Choosing the hair color

Coloring your hair close to your natural shade is
much easier and prevent problems as the hair grows
out.
When you change your hair color you may have to
change your wardrobe and make-up.

Find the RIGHT colors for YOU

You have surely had the experience of a day when
everyone noticed how well, relaxed and glamorous
you looked. Or, when you were wearing something
red and you noticed that you were the center of
attention, that you seemed more svelte and full of
life.

Find the RIGHT colors for YOU

The secret of such a look rests in finding your
natural color and harmonizing your whole look in
order to obtain a natural, uniform brilliance. On the
contrary, colors that put you at a disadvantage
makes you look older, tired and dull. This is what
you have to do:

Find the RIGHT colors for YOU

There are the following major harmonies. You just
have to choose whats right for you.
On the papers you have in front of you please put
down which is your color harmony

Wheel of Color for Fashion

1. Colors directly next to each other
(i.e. yellow and yellow-orange; yellow
and yellow-green; violet and blue-
violet, etc.)
2. Colors that form right (90 degree)
angles with each other (i.e. yellow
and red-orange; blue and violet-red;
green and orange, etc.)
3. Colors directly across from each
other (i.e. yellow and violet; blue and
orange; red and green, etc.)

3 Steps
1. Avoid the mistakes
2. Know yourself and your body
3. Create your OWN fashion style

Age vs. Age

Age vs. Age
Dress according to your age! Fashion can
help you look younger, but dont expect it
to work wonders.
Keep in mind that when you dress too
youthfully for your real age, paradoxically
all you manage to do is put your age
forward.
You can be sexy at 40, at 50 but that
doesnt mean wearing generous
dcolletages and short skirts.

The time and space rules

Match your ouMit with the
occasion and the moment of day.
It isnt by chance that clothes are
divided into evening / day ouMits,
casual / elegant ouMits.

Quantity vs. Quality

Choose to wear and to invest in
quality clothes rather than in
quanRty. In the case of clothes,
quality means quality fabrics,
excellent design, and almost
perfect workmanship.
It doesnt mean youll have to shop
only in the most expensive stores.
For starters you can invest in the
basics: jackets, a pair of jeans of a
neutral color, quality accessories.

Ruined accessories
Theres no point of having a perfect
ouMit if the accessories are not of
good quality or in a good stage. We
have the tendency to always analyze
accessories.
When we analyze someone, we
always greet him or her from head to
toe, so the shoes are an important
element in the nal conclusion. Thus,
even if your ouMit is faultless and ts
you perfectly, it will be cancelled out
by a pair of dirty or ruined shoes

Unfinished details

Lets start thinking about

our nails as if they were
accessories: its not by
mistake that there is a
whole beauty industry just
for nails. Cracked nail
polish, broken or bitten
nails, and overgrown toe
nails, all this is bound to
create a sloppy, grimy
image.
When you give these details
the attention they deserve,
you will automatically feel
surer of your ground
because you have nothing to
hide and nothing to be
ashamed of.

Fashion victim
Armed with tens of magazines,
you went shopping wanting to
look exactly like a model or a
star. I already explained the
rules to you, but let me add one
more: dont become a fashion
victim, dont let fashion rule
your life.
The difference between a
fashion victim and yourself has
to rest precisely in the personal
filter that you apply to every
piece of information.

Uniforms
Short skirts, high heels, white
and pink are in fashion. Ok,
choose whats right for you
considering your personality,
skin color and physical data.
But if you see the same outfit
worn by another 30 persons,
its time to move on.

Transforming fashion into a
uniform is a symbol of
trivialization.

The BIG secret

You look good you feel good!
A well defined style makes you confident in yourself.
We tend to analyze people form the look point of
view and of course people analyze us from the same
angle.
Really, IMAGE matters!

You & Your Image

For the best picture

start by relaxing the
muscles in your face
your forehead, your
eyes, your cheeks,
your lips, your nose,
your neck, and your
shoulders.

You & Your Image

When you smile for the camera, smile not just with
your lips but with your eyes.

Put your chin down. What is being photographed is

your face, not your neck. You become more
photogenic.

You & Your Image

Shrug your shoulders and roll them down and back
for good posture. You'll appear taller.
Want to look thinner? While your head faces the
camera, turn your body slightly to the left or the
right to stand on an angle (you can place one foot
behind the other if that helps).

You & Your Image

Check out any
celebrity magazine,
and you'll notice a
number of starlets
turn their bodies
about a quarter away
from the camera to
appear slimmer.
