Fashion Tips: How to Choose Your Own Unique Style. Part 1:Dramatic Style

How To Define Yourself? Each one of us is different. Let's us enjoyed our differences.

In this series of posts on how to choose your own unique style I am going to share with you a concept which I read about. The main idea of this concept is that your face and the main features of your appearance can give you cues on what style fits you the best. Of course, as any concept, this one is not impeccable. There are may be some ladies which, after reading about all 6 styles, may still be unsure if any of the described styles can suit them really well. At the same time, this concept can help you realize what direction you should be moving when it comes to clothes shopping and dressing up. Moreover, the beginning of the year may be as well the beginning of discovering  the new you and your new unique style which suits you the best! Let’s get started. There are 6 major style directions a woman can choose:

1. Dramatic Style;
2. Naïve Romantic Style;
3. Natural Style;
4. Classic Style;
5. Intricate Romantic Style;
6. Sporty Style.

You may think – there is nothing new – we have heard of all these styles, and have probably tried all of them already. You are absolutely right! The truth is that we do not need “to invent the bicycle” again. The trick here is to recognize which style suits us the best, and take that style direction for creating telling and unforgettable looks. Since there are many examples of these styles among celebs, we will be looking of how especially well some of them recognized and adopted the styles that suit their faces and appearances!

Candidates for dramatic style will be ladies with noticeable appearances.  This type of ladies has something which makes their faces difficult to forget. The face proportions may not necessarily be ideal; they may have bigger than usual noses or lips – some features which make them really stand out! They are beautiful, they are striking and they make the heads turn.

The main attributes of this style are: sexiness, luxury, lavishness and staginess. The first thing that comes to my mind when I try to describe this style is “lady vamp” – dangerous due to her wild nature, but extremely attractive and unforgettable.

Rich and luxurious colors such as red, orange, dark emerald, burgundy, purple and black will suit dramatic style really well. Among materials for clothing are lace, velvet, satin, silk, fur and leather. Contrasting color blocking is something that also suits this style. Dramatic ladies will flourish on contrasts in their outfits; for example, combining something romantic, such as silk dress with something masculine, such as leather jacket. Think bold and luxurious clothing, if you identified your style as “dramatic”. Do not be afraid to wear bright makeup which accentuates your beauty.

To give you a full picture of what dramatic style is all about, let’s talk celebrities. Angeline Jolie is the one whom dramatic style suits really well.
