Psychology of clothing
In science, there was a separate direction — the psychology of clothing. One American scientist even wrote a book "You are what you wear" — which describes not only the reasons for choosing things, but also tells what are the psychological problems of creating a wardrobe and how to overcome them.
Many judge the inner world of a stranger, not on the basis of his personal qualities, which they sometimes do not know, but only by assessing the appearance. Therefore, clothing, as much as we would like, has become an indicator of social and economic status, refers us to a certain caste, regardless of education, profession, financial situation. For example, a man in a jacket,leather trousers is perceived by society as a rocker, and if he wears a white shirt with a tie and strict trousers, then it can be attributed to the "white collar".
Your style should be formed very carefully, but it is not necessary to adhere to it constantly — clothes can change depending on the situation. You should go to work in a business way, and at a party in honor of Halloween you can dress up as a rocker or try on the image of a disco diva. First, the main thing — to like yourself, and secondly, the wardrobe should match the place and event to which you are going.
Clothing can affect human emotions and behavior. American psychologists conducted a study: people were divided into two groups, the first was given white robes and said that they were worn by the doctor, and the second got things that belonged to the artists. Then all distributed simple tasks to which people from the first group approached more cautiously, acting accurately, carefully thinking over each step.
Surely you have noticed that, wearing an evening dress, high-heeled shoes, unwittingly begin to keep your back straight, you feel feminine and attractive. And coming from work, you become home and calm - it is necessary to wear your favorite comfortable things. Therefore, choosing a style, ask yourself: "Who do I want to be?»
Wardrobe problems

Say to yourself, "Enough!"Throw away two-thirds of things that do not sit well, are full or, conversely, you have not fit into them for a long time.

Some women wear clothes that are too big or too small. This suggests that she perceives his body not the way it really is. Pick up a new wardrobe, asking for help from a friend or stylist. They will teach you to judge your forms adequately.
If colleagues or friends talking about what you dress in an inappropriate or defiant way, not in a hurry to be offended, here it is worth considering. There are two options: either you choose the wrong clothes for a particular event or want to attract everyone's attention. Understanding what caused your failure, correct the problem, continue buying the appropriate things.
Often on the street you can see a Mature woman in a short skirt or too bright dress. This is wrong, because to tie your outfit should be to a certain situation, and not to age. Forty-year-old lady will look more spectacular in elegant things that suit her age.

Choose your own style
You can choose your own style and the most important thing is to know the rules of choosing clothes.
Rule 1

If you prefer the image of a business woman, the trendy things that are teenagers, you obviously will not be very comfortable. Therefore, be guided by your feelings, not the advice of sellers in the store.
Rule 2
When choosing an image, consider factors such as your profession, position, age, etc. Take two or three things that will make up the base of the new wardrobe. They should be combined with each other and with other outfits hanging in your closet. Stylists recommend light clothes of neutral shades to be supplemented with bright accessories that will help to finish the image, to place the necessary accents.
Rule 3

Therefore, learn the advice of experts on the types of appearance that is recommended to wear, and what should be abandoned.
Color type
Hair color is also important. Blondes are warm, bright shades of pink, grass, yellow, blue. Brunettes — bright colors: red, dark blue, purple. Light-skinned brown-haired women need to choose clothes of brown, beige, gray, coral colors, and swarthy more to the face of the ochre, scarlet, heavenly shades.

Scientists have divided all the color types into several categories — warm, bright, muted, cold — and named them in honor of different seasons:
"Spring" — warm type. These women have thin peach-pink skin, Golden, honey or straw hair, light eyes (blue, gray or amber).
Another warm, but more saturated type is "Autumn". Such people have bronze or red hair, sometimes with brown or copper shades. Skin tone, unlike spring tsvetotipa, more dense, and eyes — brown, green or gray.
"Summer" refers to a cold group of shades. This group will be blonde women with blond, or ash brown hair, pinkish-bluish skin. The type is divided into a contrast subgroup (dark hair and eyebrows) and non-contrast (blond hair).
The brightest and at the same time the coldest color type is "Winter". Have such people transparent, sometimes with olive shades of skin, dark hair and memorable eyes.
Each of us has its own color scheme, which suits us by type of appearance: if you choose the wrong shade of clothing and focus on what is "contraindicated" by nature itself, you can change beyond recognition, and not for the better. Color greatly affects not only the mood of the person, but also his achievements, faith in their own strength. You need to surround yourself with "your" tones that will help you become even more beautiful and happier.
