STYLING TIPS

OUTFIT TO GO OUT IN

Name:	Anna
Age:	29 years
Profession:	Media designer
Problem:	Lack of ideas for leisure time outfits
Wish:	To find her own style

At the office, Anna likes wearing plain outfits and tends to be in the background. In her leisure time, on the contrary, she would like to attract attention. So far, she has failed in her attempts to find her own style: she used to reach for clothing items which did not fit together. Our stylist has recognised her as a biker. With her natural manner and her sporty, almost boyish build, she should focus on sporty, casual, but stylish clothes. Anna loves jeans and feels most comfortable in jeans. Our stylist has shown her how she can turn a boring outfit into a unique look with few easy hand movements. A scant biker jacket made of artificial leather makes every pair of jeans look good, but at the same time, it is very feminine. For the complete outfit, accessories are very important: short leather gloves and a narrow belt decorated with rivets must not be forgotten.

Of course, you do not need to be a member of a motorbike club to choose the biker style. A biker jacket – with a zipper, a stand-up collar and numerous pockets – is one of the key products this season. In combination with a bootcut or slim jeans and a printed T-shirt, the jacket is suitable both for leisure time and for evenings. You can consider court shoes with high heels or cowboy boots, or the cool Chucks: your own well-being is the priority here.

 FOR CITY STROLL

Name:		Kerstin
Age:		22 years
Profession:		trainee
Problem:		chaos in the wardrobe
Wish:		expressive outfit ideas

As a trainee at ORSAY (wholesale and foreign trade with business management and foreign languages as additional qualifications), Kerstin has a good overview of current trends. She is also fond of shopping, but she always makes spontaneous decisions to buy new clothes without having a clear idea: her wardrobe overflows, but she often has “nothing to wear”. “I need ideas to arrange interesting outfits”, explains the 22 year old. Our stylist team has advised her to try the very feminine sixties look.


The red coat with a Peter Pan collar and shortened sleeves follows the most recent fashion trend and brings colour to the dark outfit. A “little black dress“ is smartly combined with black leggings – this way, the sixties style gets a modern touch. Plastic jewellery and a decorative handbag complete the feminine and girlish look. Perfect for a stroll or a party after work.

The sixties look with a different approach: well-tried forms and classic colours in a modern interpretation.

AN OUTFIT FOR THE OFFICE OR FOR GOING OUT

Name:		Monica
Age:		24 years
Profession:		Defence lawyer assistant
Problem:		She doesn’t like the gloomy colours of this autumn
Wish:		Interesting collections for the office and for going out

The dress we offered Monica was a delicate graphite check, suitable to wear for both the office and going out as well as being a perfect match for the leggings that were a hit of the summer season. The red umbrella can be a rainy day companion or be used as a parasol. The elegant, leather gloves will give her added lustre and will work with elegant, evening wear.

Restrained, but effective: subtle stresses instead of many colours

AFTER WORK OUTFIT

Name:		Sylvia
Age:		30 years old
Job:		IT-businesswoman
Problem:		no flexibility in her wardrobe
Wish:		stylish outfits for after work party

Sylvia likes going to after-work parties with her friends and colleagues. Her wardrobe, however, she finds inhabited by official suits, evening wear or casual clothes. She is looking for something exciting without being elaborate for informal evenings at a club or restaurant. She wants to attract attention, but without any great efforts at styling. "Lively but not tarted up," this 30 year-old told our stylists.

Any party will be a success: feminine and charming, yet without over-styling.
