9 style rules for the perfect look

How can you make your own style always look harmonious and modern?

1. form & function: feel-good factor

A garment has to feel good to look good in it. Comfort is the be-all and end-all. The best garments are those that fit in seamlessly with the rest of your wardrobe and that you can wear regardless of the season and without an approaching expiry date.

2. optimum fit: like a glove

As the sizes of the different brands vary, it is advisable to ALWAYS try on items. And don't forget: Even a small alteration can enhance a garment. Therefore, have a tailor adjust classic garments to your individual body shape.

3. focus on quality: High quality

It's important to invest in high-quality products, not just for your budget, but above all for the sake of the environment. It is much better and also easier to buy timeless essentials that you can enjoy for a long time instead of chasing after every trend.

4 That little bit extra: attention to detail

It's the details that count! Careful product care is essential for a beautiful appearance. Correct storage, ironed clothing, polished shoes, etc. are essential and crucial for an appropriate appearance.

5. less is more: minimalist

To quote Coco Chanel: "Look in the mirror before you leave the house and take one thing off.". This is a good reminder that a good style is usually the simplest. Simple and classic combinations look more sophisticated when they are not overloaded with accessories.

6. individual style: unique

When styling, play with the silhouette: turn up your trouser legs, roll up your sleeves, button your blouses differently - this makes the look interesting. Proportions can be emphasised and uniqueness and creativity can be expressed.

7. basics are the trump card: reduced

To make it easier to put together a look, start with a basic when getting dressed and build up the outfit bit by bit until the accessory finishes off the overall look. Combinations of minimalist but high-quality basics are always a good trick for a beautiful style.

8. colours: Monochrome

With well thought-out combinations, you can create outfits that stand out from the crowd. For example, if you opt for plain colours and monochrome looks that make use of a single colour palette, this outfit will always look elegant and timeless - whatever the occasion.

9. the right underwear: Close up

The fact is that underwear has a bigger impact on your outfit than you might think. Good comfort is important, poorly fitting and unsupportive underwear can change the entire silhouette. Matching lingerie that you feel comfortable in rounds off a perfect look.
