Women's advice from Evelina Khromtchenko. How to look stylish and elegant

Hello readers of my blog!!!

This is not the first time I have attended master classes, and this meeting left me completely delighted and gave me a flurry of emotions!

The organization of the event, the buffet, the atmosphere that reigned in GUM, Evelina herself, of course, was at the highest level.

When I saw Evelina Khromchenko on the screen, she gave me the impression of a strict and even bitchy woman who criticizes everyone, but when I saw her in reality, my opinion changed dramatically. Fragile, educated, with great potential in her field, a petite blonde with her style chip, "glasses". By the way, many of the women present were with the same shape of glasses as Evelina.

Now let's move on to the most important thing: dress codes, tips, trends for winter-spring 2015-2016 from Khromchenko.

Many of us, regardless of age, can have a first date. What to wear on him so as not to scare a man? The answer is very simple: a large-knit sweater in warm shades. For example, the color of bleached marshmallow, the color of caramel, creme brulee, white, gray .... Under the sweater we put on a combination (imitation of a shirt) - the underwear style remains at the peak of popularity.

For a more serious event, such as meeting his parents, you need to know what style they consider themselves to be and dress in the same style as them.

Tips for men: boots, if it's not a dress code, should be matte without shine, or suede, for generous men; no wide ties that emphasize chubby cheeks, only thin ties or bow ties. Socks should be as high as knee socks in length so that no one can see your bare legs. Don't wear what you see on the catwalks. For example, high-quality wool socks with sandals if your height is no higher than 168 cm and you do not have a model figure like Sean O'Pry, Tyson Ballou.

The most common mistake that women make when choosing tights is the color and it is usually a cadaverous color with a lot of lycra. Pantyhose should be matte warm in winter, without a pattern, if it comes to nylon, then the choice should fall in the tone of your skin color, without shine or black. Cappuccino or tan color is not acceptable. 8-12 den, don't let it scare you, buying two pairs of identical stockings, it comes out very economically. They should not have any puffs, no arrows smeared with varnish and stitches of thread. If you were invited to a wedding and there is no specific dress code, then you should not wear beige, red, white, black. No clutch with you, no "fancy fashion" hats. We dress in gentle, seasonal and edible colors.

And a couple more tips. Every woman should have three bags: a high-quality clutch, a Chanel No. 55 bag on a chain and a Birkin bag for every day, if you don’t have money for such branded items, then personally I think that you can find similar ones made of genuine leather.

Soon the new year, corporate parties, what to wear on them? The year of the monkey is coming, she loves everything bright: red, orange, sparkles, gold, it will be appropriate if your boss is a man, single or without a companion, make the right impression.

Ecru color is very popular this winter and spring 2016. You can wear a midi length, you will not be left without attention, especially if you want to move up the career ladder, or make a good impression on the boss’s wife, then it’s just right to wear an outfit in this color, and you can put on a warm cashmere woolen coat or a classic-cut fur coat on top of the outfit.

Speaking of fur. Furs are popular artificial in high-quality performance and natural .... In our harsh latitudes of the Russian climate, it is better to purchase natural ones, they are warmer. Of the available to everyone, this is a sheared muton, of the more expensive ones, this is a mink cut “robe” and a brooch. Each woman during the day can play several roles from a mistress to a wife, from a princess to a fashion girl, from a sheep to a bitchy vamp, what role do you consider yourself to be? What style to follow? What advice to take into account? You decide!

Happy holidays to you, my readers! Thank you for your attention.

Evelina Khromtchenko: “There is a simple law for choosing jeans: only those that adorn your hips are good. Otherwise, they simply do not need to buy. The belt of jeans should not cut into your body. It is believed that models with a high waist are slimming, but here you also need to be careful. It often happens that a woman has a thin waist, but her stomach protrudes. And if the trousers begin to bubble below the waist, then the stomach looks even bigger. If you like very low-rise models, you should not combine them with short t-shirts and crop tops.

I always recommend wearing sleek jeans - it's a win-win, at least they can't hurt. Dark blue - in the spirit of the classic "Levi's 501". As for scuffs, they are actually different: if they are beautifully arranged vertically, they narrow your figure. If this vertical is too thick and wide or has an unnecessary angle, then, on the contrary, they expand it. When scuffs are highlighted horizontally and too low, women's legs look shorter.

Tip number 2: how to wear clothes with horizontal stripes that visually increase the figure

Evelina Khromchenko: “The notorious horizontal stripes can be limited to a jacket. The two dark vertical lines on the sides save the day."

Tip number 3: how to add youth and sexuality to the image

Evelina Khromtchenko: “If you want to add youth to your image, a vest is exactly what you need. Classic blue and white solutions are better - uniform, army, designed either for sailors or paratroopers. When buying these models in military stores, of course, you will need to shorten the sleeves. For fragile women, I recommend taking the men's size S so that the thing does not look too wide in the shoulders. This is the best option! I assure you, they can easily compete with the famous Jean-Paul Gaultier vests.”

Evelina Khromchenko: “For a classic celebration - the anniversary of a relative, colleague, classmate, teacher, the best thing is usually a cocktail dress. I would not recommend anything long, as well as satin, shiny, ruffled, it is better to choose a solid, matte. At the height of the holiday, it gets hot, and you need to think about it in advance. You can wear a two-piece - a sheath dress with short sleeves that cover the upper arm, and on top of a light coat or jacket in the same fabric to start the event. And then, when everyone is warmed up, you can take off your coat or jacket.”

Evelina Khromtchenko: “It is important to ensure that the model is not too tight, as they say, in a gag. In this case, even on a thin lady, it will not be very profitable to demonstrate the details of her figure. The most dangerous thing is the obvious fit in the hips. Strictly speaking, people around should not see what shape a woman's panties are.

Tip #6: What to Wear with a Sleeveless Little Black Dress

Evelina Khromtchenko: “If your little black dress has no sleeves, being a sleeveless fitted sheath that is quite attractive from a sexual point of view, put on a V-neck cardigan or jacket on top. Just don't cover your bare arms with the shirt that some wear under this dress. Remember, you are not in a sundress! The dress does not allow you to wear anything under it, any knitwear will look like pajamas under it, and the shirt will look simple.

Evelina Khromchenko: “I would recommend paying attention to a straight, not tight-fitting silhouette, which does not have this nasty “fitness” inherent in women's white blouses sold in budget stores in the business clothing departments. Thin, cheap cotton "products" ruthlessly betray all women's secrets: in addition to showing the color of your linen, which is unacceptable, especially in a business environment, they also show the details of your body. Therefore, I strongly advise you to choose only a straight cut. Do not be afraid that someone will not see your thin aspen waist, if any. A woman looks especially sexy in a white shirt if it has a hint of a masculine shape. This is what many celebrities prefer. Ever since Marlene Dietrich and Audrey Hepburn."

Tip #8: How to wear white so you don't look fat

Evelina Khromtchenko: “White is fat? It's all nonsense... Unless you're preparing to be on TV. Then the total white color is contraindicated for you, because the TV screen adds seven kilograms and seven years to any person. And in life, white can be worn by people of various builds. Then there are a lot of different tricks that will come to your aid. For example, wear a jacket over a white shirt and do not fasten it. Then two vertical lines will do everything you need in such a situation, visually reducing your volumes.

Evelina Khromtchenko: “The trench coat should not look new. Therefore, if you just purchased it in a store, urgently do something with it. Remember, turn up your collar, roll up your sleeves, and dry-clean your trench coat so it doesn't look brand new. I would also not recommend tightening the belt with a buckle, tie it in a knot. Another tip - don't button up your trench coat."

Evelina Khromtchenko: “Personally, I advocate that the shoes continue the color of the clothes, this lengthens the leg. If light-colored ankle boots suddenly begin to peep out from under dark trousers, then, you see, the leg becomes shorter.

Evelina Khromchenko is a recognized expert in the field of fashion and style. For a long time she was the editor-in-chief of the glossy magazine L'Officiel, then she focused on working in the TV program Fashion Sentence, and now she also maintains her own fashion website, as well as several pages on popular social networks. Therefore, it is logical that girls are looking forward to fashion tips from Evelina Khromtchenko for 2016.

Now the popular fashion expert is also actively touring different cities with his own author's master class "8 Fashion Styles", in which he tries to explain to women and girls how beautiful and fashionable it is to dress and choose exactly the wardrobe that suits a certain type of figure, appearance and classes. In addition, Evelina actively answers questions on style and beauty, and also conducts individual consultations.

The author's master class is based on the concept that there are 8 basic fashion styles that correspond to the lifestyle of different women, and Evelina Khromtchenko advises using all the fashion trends of 2016, based on the chosen wardrobe style.

First style - Fashionista, that is, a girl who follows the latest trends in the fashion industry. Fashion 2016 from Evelina Khromchenko for such a girl is a bold combination of the latest trends and trends, but taking into account the individual characteristics of the figure.
The second type of style is avant-garde- a girl who is not afraid of interesting experiments in the field of clothing, who knows how to transform her style, combine seemingly incompatible things, use things from different eras and fashion trends in one image. For such an image, advice from Evelina Khromtchenko for 2016 consists in acquiring several iconic items of the season, as well as carefully studying the individual features of the figure and proportions so that the outfits look not only fashionable, but also fit the figure organically.
Business lady style involves the acquisition of a certain basic wardrobe from Evelina Khromtchenko 2016, practical and status, suitable for a woman holding a leadership position. According to the fashion expert, the whole style and image of a business woman should not only adorn her, but also serve as a role model for junior employees, as well as immediately demonstrate professionalism and status in negotiations with partners.
Sportswoman- a girl who prefers sport chic clothes: comfortable, practical, bright and beautiful. At the same time, the fashion guru clearly separates the concepts of “clothes in sports style” and “clothing for sports”. As everyday options, things from the first category should be used, which only have features of a sporty style, but are not directly intended for intense training.
Femme fatale- femme fatale - attractive and sexy. This image is difficult in the daily incarnation, but perfect for special occasions.
lady like- a style inspired by the images of the first women of the state. Businesslike, but moderately refined. Pretty modest, but flawless.
Casual Chic- a style that demonstrates the image of an active city dweller, dynamic, progressive and bright.
Finally, the last style - Princess: a touching and romantic image of a defenseless and tender girl.

Choice of individual style

Evelina Khromtchenko, listing 8 basic styles, invites girls to choose exactly the individual one that best suits their attitude and lifestyle. At the same time, it doesn’t matter at all where the girl lives, what her budget is, the profession and ordinary activities play a much larger role, and fashionable and stylish things can be found both in luxury brands and in quite democratic stores.

In addition, the fashion expert is sure that the girl is not at all obliged to lock herself within the framework of only one style. Of course, a certain image will prevail, but some occasions in life will necessarily require the selection of a more sophisticated, business or relaxed option.

The forecast for the upcoming cold season does not differ much from the trends of this year's spring-summer collections: for the next six months, everything is in fashion again! The boom in "all-mode", "all-color" and "all-compatibility" walked on the world's catwalks and hit the wardrobes of fashionistas and fashionistas, who, in turn, do not intend to give up the riot of colors, an abundance of decor and a variety of textures.

At the lecture on the most current trends of the upcoming autumn-winter period, the listeners received detailed instructions on how to use the tools of the season: how to wear cascades of frills or military-style coats, how to dilute the concentration of velvet, tapestries and brocade, how to curb the fuchsia that has gone berserk in winter. The conversation touched not only on colors, textures, stylistic solutions, clothing decor, but also trends in shoes, accessories and bijouterie.

colors

The most important thing to remember about the upcoming season is that all the shades that make up the color spectrum are in fashion. Evelina spoke about all the colors of this autumn and winter, but still focused on the shades that very unexpectedly broke into our lives last season, such as marsala and those whose authority from season to season remains unshakable, as well as constant the popularity of white, red and black.

marsala color- this is something that will appear in the season for quite a long time, because there was a lot of it, it was very sudden and active, and of course it will not be possible to quickly get rid of it, just like orange. But marsala has new manifestations: this season it has connected with lingerie style, which has not happened with this shade for a long time.

Brown color has not been presented to such an active extent for a long time, and its new shades are not dramatic, not boring.

Black color- total and fashionable. The black set is very relevant today. Although black has never gone out of fashion, but taking into account the theme of the 90s, it has become especially relevant. The 90s were practically painted black, the rest of the colors were just splashes against it. Of course, many designers have experimented with black.

dramatic combination of black and red this season is becoming especially popular, thanks to the activity of checks and other ornaments like the "houndstooth" or "dog's fang".

White color for winter - today it is normal. For many seasons we have been talking about not being afraid of white. White day, white evening and even a white tuxedo from the same Ester Abner.

skin tones- it's like a blank slate, when a person does not know what to dress up in, putting on a body dress, he can see himself in a new way. Moreover, the corporal manifests itself in very different guises. Business from Alexander Terekhov, neutral, intellectual from Tatyana Parfenova, very romantic, a little erotic from Valentino.

By the way, it is worth noting how popular the shade of beige is in makeup. The “nude” or “naked” line is found in almost every self-respecting cosmetic brand.

New color of the season - smoke. It's an ash grey, a warm gray that's not boring to look at. A color that can light up the eyes, a color that holds great promise not only this season, but the next.

styles

The defining style of the cold season was the glamor of the 90s: grunge, colorful short puffy skirt dresses, leggings, culottes, crop tops, slip dresses, velvet. Of course, the line between our ideas about 80s and 90s fashion is a little blurry, but the 2016-17 season brings to the surface those small details from the past that were previously forgotten. The real glamor of the 90s was expressed in jewelry with heavy chains, things dropped from the shoulders, brightness and gold.

grunge style, to which the 90s are so indebted, first appeared on the podium in 1993 under the Mark Jacobs brand. The show made a splash, and the young couturier gained worldwide fame and founded his own brand. Grunge is boots with active lacing with thick soles, leather jackets, frayed leather and denim jackets, faded oversized T-shirts. Now the worn and worn grunge effect remains especially relevant, so get out the huge coats, trench coats and jackets that your grandfathers and great-grandfathers wore, this season oversized vintage is in fashion. And things are still fashionable to combine in a variety of combinations, for example - coarse wool and the most delicate chiffon, organza and torn jeans.

An apple from an apple tree ... Where there is grunge, there military. Previously, fashion served to please society, to please women and for women. Now political and economic relations between countries are acting as judges of the fashionable verdict. Fashion is subject to war and political squabbles: the motives of Islam, the civil war in Ukraine, the phenomenon of Americanization and militarization “tame” modern fashion houses. The war also shapes the view of the role of women in modern conditions. Now this is a woman trying to scare away a man with her whole appearance. The type of model-refugee, exile, savage is increasingly found on the pages of glossy publications.

sport chic- this is a real paradox in terms of fashion, which also originates from the 90s. This style welcomes ensembles, where a simple sweatshirt can be combined with heels, and a sporty tank top with a sequined skirt. Trendy tracksuits are one of the components of this style. The peculiarity of such suits is that they are made of materials unusual for sports - velvet, stretch satin and velor.

The theme of practicality and comfort continues pajama style, which is designed to instill a love for wide trousers and oversized shirts, layering, since the combination that is loved this summer is still customary to wear over something.

Decor

Collars and bows, frills and ruffles, romantic styles, soft fabrics, designers seem to be nostalgic for the times when ladies were delicate and vulnerable like flowers. Roksanda, Ermanno Scervino, Temperley London believe that the fashion of the Victorian era can be read in a new way.

But the peculiarity of the general fascination with flounces and ruffles is that their use is not limited to romantic and vintage styles. The trend of the season is seen in collections with a gothic bias, and in strict classic looks, and has leaked into the territory of casual. In addition to beauty, the purely practical meaning of frills and other multi-layered decorative elements is in the wide possibilities of figure correction.

What material has a special charm among all others? Of course lace. To emphasize sexuality and femininity - this is the main task of modern lace models.

But still, lace is somewhat inferior in popularity this season. grid, which takes on punk and gothic motifs that greatly distinguish this trend from previous seasons. It is worth noting turtlenecks, as well as part of the skirts on dresses, details, or complete sets of mesh as at the presentation of the Mulberry collection.

When designers want to grab attention without additional patterns and prints, words become a great way to emphasize the theme and emotions of the new collection. Interesting and witty inscriptions are definitely attracting attention. The funniest options are demonstrated by DKNY and Alexander Wang.
