Lifestyle and profession invariably leave their mark on the choice of clothing, style and wardrobe. While some will insist on elegant, minimalistic outfits with clean lines, others will prefer cozy knitwear, others will choose something discreet, non-stained and... nondescript.
"Teachers' wardrobe" has become a common term for ensembles in the form of suits, blouses or shirts with simple black trousers or a pencil skirt. These things do not keep pace with fashion, but are rather simple and conservative. So it was with 52-year-old Elena, who works as a teacher at a music school.
Pantsuits and knitted blouses are wardrobe favorites
The son reproaches reproaches his mother for being stuck in time. Elena wears her things not just for years, but sometimes for decades. As a teacher, she adores strict pantsuits, which she wears to feasts and the world, wearing the same sets both to school and to special occasions. Another weakness of the heroine is the openwork knitted blouses, which she puts on over the dresses.
Elena has a pear shape with massive hips, so it can be difficult for her to find the right clothes for herself, which she has to sew to order. This is also the reason for the longevity of individual suits in her wardrobe, which acquire multifunctionality. The task of the stylists of the "Fashionable Verdict" was the transformation of the heroine, who was accustomed to old-fashioned clothes in discreet colors.
Parameters: height - 177 cm, weight - 90 kg, figure - 109/111/126, clothing size - 52-56, shoe size - 41.
1. Floral Shirt and Khaki Pants looks
With the help of new clothes, the son wanted to make a woman out of his mother in a careless European style, but he made a mistake. A white shirt with a small print, combined with baggy khaki trousers, looked awkward and accentuated the features of the heroine's figure.
Baggy trousers and shirt length to the problem area only draw attention to this area. In addition, things, including blue shoes, simply do not match with each other either in style or in color, but look like pieces of clothing that accidentally fell out of the closet.
2. Blue and red striped shirt dress
The second choice was a long loose shirt dress with longitudinal blue and red stripes. Despite the fact that this thing seems to be universal, it does not paint the heroine again.
With a light color type of appearance, it is not recommended to wear too gloomy and dark shades in clothes that drown out natural data. In addition, the dress does not look self-sufficient and ready to go, because it looks more like home clothes, a dressing gown or a piece of pajamas.
3. Red short sleeve dress
The third choice was a red knee-length dress. It seems too simple, but once again emphasizes the features of the heroine's physique. With a pear figure, you should not wear things that separate the upper body from the lower with a horizontal line, as happens in this dress due to the combination of two shades at the waistline. A diagonal line would have saved the day by creating the effect of a correct optical illusion.
The T-shirt cut of the dress also does not suit Elena, because the round neckline shortens the neck, and the length of the sleeves emphasizes the fullness of the arms. A small V neckline and three-quarter sleeves would suit her.
Haircut, updated blond and natural makeup
Elena has a spring color type, which perfectly tolerates both bright and thicker saturated shades in clothes, in harmony with light hair color and bright blue eyes. The stylists gave Elena a stylish short haircut and dyed her hair pearl-platinum blonde, complementing the beauty look with natural makeup with neat arrows and a berry accent on the lips.
1. Yellow-red base and black and white coat
The stylists' first choice was a combination of cropped red pants, a shiny yellow top and a black and white coat with a large houndstooth pattern. Such a move perfectly emphasizes the appearance of the heroine, in no way overshadowing her natural characteristics, and the black-and-white range of the coat reasonably covers the brightness of the basic set, refreshing the image. White sneakers also look fresh and modern.
2. Floral jacket and yellow skirt
The second choice of stylists looks a little old-fashioned, but it is a good solution for a pear shape, where the border between the upper and lower body zones is visually blurred and masked.
In addition, this is a slightly rejuvenated version of the conservative teacher's wardrobe, where the skirt is not a "pencil", and the jacket is not monochromatic, but solemnly floral. The shade of the shoes almost completely merges with the skin tone, making them an almost invisible accessory.
3. Asymmetrical blue evening dress
The last night out was the simplest, but once again it proves that it is in simplicity that there is charm. The stylists offered Elena a long evening dress in a deep blue shade.
It has a “zest” - a correct and stylistically justified detail in the form of a drapery below the waist and a decorative decoration such as a brooch. They create a visual effect of asymmetry and blur the border of the transition between the lower and upper body zones, thereby successfully concealing the features of the figure.
