Paul Cezanne said "There is no model, there is only color".
As far as prints are concerned tonal ones attract less attention. The darker the background the more flattering it is. If you are a petite size girl go for small designs with low contrast. If you are tall try bigger prints with more contrast. Big prints work only with light contrast and in a diagonal form. Vertical stripes always make you look better than the horizontal ones. The diagonal stripes that are more vertical than horizontal create an elongation effect.
Details on clothing pieces are used to emphasize a part of the body. For example a neckline with ruffles on a shirt is giving emphasis to the breasts and the neck and the straps of a long-back dress focus on the back. Try having only one detail per look.
The most flattering colors for you depend on the color of your skin and the color of your eyes. Women with pale skin and brown or blond hair look good on saturated bright colors like violet, red, royal blue and emerald green. If you have a mid tone skin try lavender, coral, turquoise and olive green. A woman with black hair and pale skin would look good on olive green but stunning in emerald. If you have imperfections on your body (and we all do) try not to use bright colored fabrics on those parts. Having a monochromatic look makes you look thinner, especially in dark colors. Marked and contrasting colors in horizontal lines divide your body and will make it look wider and shorter so be careful!! Bright and light colors can accent parts of the body and illuminate your face. It is recommended to use maximum 3 colors per look. Use colors strategically combining the dark with the light to balance your figure.
Navy blue and white (or we can call it nautical) is a classic, clean and fresh look. Minimalists and traditionalists love it. However if you want to be up-to-date add saturated bright colors such as purple, green, bright yellow and fuchsia. This is a look I created based on this concept.
Pale and neutral colors like grey from head to toe might seem plane and cold but if you add pastel colors like lavender, peach, light blue or pale pink you will end up with something sophisticated. This is the look I created to give you an idea.
Khaki and olive green always give a bohemian touch. To give a spark try using different fabrics like silk and satin in colors like orange, burgundy and burnt red. This is the look I proposed.
