How to prepare for a style change
The first thing you need to do is track what emotions this style evokes in you.
If you categorically do not like it and only evokes negative emotions, and for one reason or another you are required to wear it, for example, there is a strict dress code at work, then put off learning this style. Learning new information with negative emotions is not the best thing to do. There is a lot of information that can be left unaccepted. But don’t put off studying style for too long; set yourself a certain deadline until you study this topic. When you are in a better mood, you can start studying a new topic. Now you need to write down as much information as possible about this style, everything you find on the Internet. The information should contain styles, colors and their combinations, density and fabric composition, and much more. You can write it down in a notebook or copy the information into Word. It is also important to find pictures to match the style. Create a separate folder on your computer with the pictures you like. You will return to it periodically, adding more interesting images and removing those that have become obsolete.
Analyze what exactly you liked about these images. Maybe you liked the fabric or style, or color? You also need to understand what things you cannot do without; put photos that you have not yet decided on in a separate place.
If negative emotions continue to overcome you, focus on what you can gain, not why you don't like it. How your wardrobe and image as a whole can be enriched if you bring something from a different style. It is not necessary to take all the recommendations from the new style. It is enough to take only those that you like.
If you are forced to wear clothes in a style that you do not like, try to dilute it with things that are familiar to you.
When you have an understanding of what you like and what you don’t, you can go to a large store where clothes, shoes, and accessories are presented in large quantities.
Questions to help you understand yourself a little:
- What am I like: tough and objective ? - example: “I’m a middle manager, I’m trying to blend in with the team, I don’t have time for anything, I have enough money, but it’s tight, and so on”
- What do I want to represent? think about your desires , you will find opportunities later. Write as if you are already exactly like that - example: “I am an interior designer, I often visit international exhibitions, including abroad, my income is *** *** rubles monthly, I spend my free time in the garden of my house (I love roses...), I have a family ***, every weekend I go to the beauty studio, then I drink coffee with ***, then I go buy a new blouse at ***, then I go to the cinema (club, restaurant, dacha, home , to *** ..... dance naked on a deserted beach on your own island )))) ). Free your dreams. Imagine yourself in great detail.
- What kind of man do I want to live my whole life with : what he is like, what he looks like, what he is interested in - more details, please. Let the image of a man be woven into your picture of a wonderful life.
If you spent an hour or two on these questions, then you already have a little idea of how to choose an image and how to choose a personal style in clothing, hairstyle and makeup. Imagining yourself in this wonderful role, you can already see how you are dressed and combed. YOUR world should contain your colors, fabrics, silhouettes.
Your image must be consistent with your inner world. Clothes should be chosen based on YOUR figure, and hairstyle based on YOUR face. Asking a man is a great guide to choosing your personal style. It's always easier to imagine someone else visually, and this is a clue to how to choose your own style.
Selection of images for a new style
What is important here is not the purchase, but how things that you don’t wear in everyday life fit on you, what emotions you experience. Try to pick up several looks in the store: completely from things of a new style and several looks where your usual things will be combined with new ones. Which one do you like best? You can even take a photo of yourself for greater clarity. When looking at yourself in the mirror, answer these questions:
- » How much do you like/dislike this image?
- “Don’t like the whole thing or some particular part?
- » How would you change this part?
- “If this part had not been there or had been different, would you have liked the image better?
Now the fashion world is huge and you can find everything or almost everything in it if you want. So the answers to such questions will provide even more insight into your style preferences.
You can complicate your task and find in the store the exact image that you liked when looking at the photos. It is advisable to repeat it as accurately as possible. Here you will be faced with the fact that the items presented in the store will not always correspond to the picture, and perhaps you will find the items you need in different stores or in different shopping centers. When the whole look is ready, take a photo of yourself in the fitting room or at home. Here it is also important to track how much you like yourself in an unusual image. By repeating this task several times, you will gradually develop your own style and come to understand yourself. And things purchased in a store can always be returned to the store, retaining receipts, tags and presentation.
What rules should a teenager follow when buying new clothes?
When buying new clothes for your teenager, keep the following points in mind:
- Things should be practical. They should highlight the teenager’s advantages as clearly as possible. And hide his figure flaws.
- In no case should more than three colors be combined within one image. Otherwise, it won't look very nice. Try to make sure that the teenager remembers this rule for the rest of his life.
- A teenager should know when to stop. Don't buy him all the things he points out. If the clothes seem completely strange to you, then it is better not to buy them. Perhaps the teenager did not appreciate the subject well enough from a practical point of view. And he doesn’t yet understand that he will look bad in it.
Hairstyle
The next aspect that can affect a teenager's image is his hairstyle. The old one won't work anymore. If the image changes, then the hairstyle changes along with it.
You and your teenager will have to choose a haircut. Just open a list of examples of popular hairstyles on the Internet. Start reading about which ones suit your specific face type. Weed out the ones that are right for your child. And from them choose the one you like.
Be sure to consult with your teenager. Offer options and discuss them. If a teenager, for example, likes a certain hairstyle, but you don’t, then give him a try. Let him cut his hair like this.
Keep in mind that guys' hair grows quickly. Accordingly, there will be no problems with this. Next time, if the haircut turns out to be really terrible, the teenager can opt for a different hairstyle.
A teenager can consult a barber about a haircut
If a teenager cannot decide on a haircut on his own, then he can act in a different way. He can sign up for a barbershop. Get there early. And start communicating with the barber.
The teenager’s task is to get advice on what haircut will suit him. If the barber is a professional, he will easily give recommendations. Based on them, a teenager can easily choose a haircut.
A teenager can choose a hairstyle based on photographs of stars
Many stars (both domestic and foreign) wear fashionable hairstyles. A teenager can pick up an idea from them. And get a similar haircut for yourself. Choosing a hairstyle this way will be very easy. Because the teenager will be able to see an example of how the hairstyle will look in everyday life.
Beard
Help a teenager grow a beard. Unfortunately, this option is not suitable for all teenagers. But only for those who have stubble.
If a teenager has a beard, tell him not to shave it off. And use it to create a new image. However, warn your teenager that he will have to carefully care for his beard. Go to barbershops. Or trim it yourself.
If you don't take care of your beard, it will soon cease to be beautiful. Her appearance will deteriorate significantly. She will start to braid. And it will look unaesthetic.
The advantage of a beard is that it makes a man visually more massive and strong. And, overall, it improves the image. Makes a teenager brutal. Therefore, recommend that your teenager use this idea.
Tattoo
A teenager can also decorate his image with a tattoo. However, we recommend resorting to this method only if you yourself have a positive attitude towards drawings on your body. And I don’t mind the child stuffing them for himself.
Tattoos are the perfect way to express your individuality. Thanks to them, the teenager can show what he feels inside. And how he feels in the world. They can also give a teenager energy if they are filled with a certain design (for example, some runes). In addition, tattoos perfectly highlight the modern style of a teenager.
Absolutely anyone can make a drawing under the skin of a teenager. There are a huge number of tattoo styles available these days. A teenager can find a sketch that suits him on the Internet. To do this, you just need to indicate what style of tattoo he wants. And understand exactly where he will stuff it.
Habits
New style - new habits. It is impossible to change your image while leaving old actions in your daily routine. Tell your teenager to give up all bad habits. Including sitting at the computer. Eating junk food. Any addictions (for example, smoking or drinking alcohol).
Recommend doing sports. After all, no matter what image a teenager wants to achieve, having a beautiful body is very important. Because it is the main component of all athletes.
A teenager should feel like a full-fledged person. This cannot be achieved if he has bad habits. The absence of the latter will make the teenager love and respect himself even more. The people around him will treat him the same way.
Tell the teenager to get his body in shape
A teenager's body must be in shape. Playing sports is not enough for this. In addition, a teenager needs to eat right. Don't eat fried foods. Avoid foods that contain large amounts of fat. And also consume no more than two thousand calories per day.
A change in style must be accompanied by changes in the physical plane. If a teenager is thin, then let him go to a fitness club and try to gain weight. If it's full, then let it go there. But he is already losing weight. And forms the correct body relief.
Explain to your teen that their body needs to be balanced. Excessive thinness means that the body is missing something. Excessive obesity indicates that there is a lot of “garbage” in the body. Wrong and harmful food that is deposited in different parts of the body.
Accordingly, it is important to find a middle ground. Weigh just enough so that you are neither too thin nor too fat. And at the same time, to be a strong young man. Who can take care of himself.
Adaptation to the new style
You can go the other way... find things you love that have something of a new style. These things will speed up your adaptation process. For example, you love a maxi skirt, and your new style is natural, then you can look for a maxi skirt made of suede or in colors typical of this style, such as khaki, or it will be a tiered skirt.
As you work to change your style, don't forget to take pictures of yourself. By looking through all the photos, you may find ideas that will inspire you to develop an image/style.
Lastly, start making changes little by little. Give yourself time to change and don't be afraid to change. The resulting images are what is acceptable to you now. Everything else can be put aside and come back to this issue when you yourself are ready to move on. And remember, there are no bad or good styles. There are styles that inspire you and those that don't.
Be beautiful and unique!
