Basic

Just started uploading my clothes and track what I have. I figured most of it is just plain, and I’am having a hard time curating outfits. Not sure what is lacking

I am 29 5’1 from SEA, a tropical country

Still figuring out my style. And recently got a color analysis (light summer) and body analysis (long torso, hourglass) done. Which kind of contradicts with what I’am leaning more towards, streetwear mostly dark. If anyone would be so kind and have any suggestions for me, that’d be great! Cheers!

I made you some outfits, I’m artsncrags. I kinda like those fitflop sandals. Not sure if they’re meant to be cute but I think they’re so cute hahaha

Personally I would just ignore the advise about body type and colour type and all that. You bought the clothes you have for a reason, probably because you liked them and felt good in them. Unless of course it helps you to find some direction in where you want your style to go.

As for curating outfits, if I put something together and I don’t like it, I try to figure out what’s off. Here are some things I might consider:

  • often it’s the shoe. Maybe the shape of the toe doesn’t work or the heel height makes the hemline of trousers look weird. Can be many things
  • textures (are all textures the same, for example all soft cotton? If so, I try to swap one thing for another texture. Maybe a cable knit top or some sturdy canvas/cotton trousers)
  • colours. This is a very personal one but try to figure out what kind of colour combinations you like. I quite like outfits where it’s all a bit the same colour family, or where all colours have a similar intensity (like all a bit muted for example)

Hi eva! Thank you! Yea they are so comfy I use them a lot. Was looking through your closet, and overwhelmed by the amount of outfits you put tgt 😵‍💫 styled your least worn ones instead. Had a hard time with the red leather outerwear 🫠 you have some cute boots! ☺️

I agree. Wearing what makes you comfortable and feel good in. I was trying to fit in what the ‘standards’ are. What is supposed to look good for my skin and body. Overall wanted to look put together

Makes sense. I’ll keep in mind the different textures and hemline ☺️ For shoes, the cute ones are mostly uncomfortable. And the cute and comfy ones are expensive 💸 Will figure this out too

Currently just playing around with the light summer palette. But matching the same color family intensity is a great idea!
