Many ladies in image consulting are afraid of experiencing some prints in their look, despite seem to think their style, but they feel to appear fuller / out of shape ...  It is not always the case but I believe that once you understand the basics of how prints can work we all  can open  to a new world of interesting looks in complicity with the current season.

USEFUL TIPS ALWAYS BE TAKEN IN THE OUTFIT UPON WITH PRINTS:

• At first if you want to experiment with prints, limit you to only two prints in your look!
• More complex is the press, the better pair it with a colorful solid cloth
• When you have to match prints and patterns it is essential to look for a common element that binds all together, that it is a common color.

As image consultant I check that most women are attracted by some elements in the clothes, not knowing that everything depends on two main elements:

- Your personal color

- Your personality, style of dress.

THE PRINTS according to the IMAGE CONSULTANT’S SEASONS:

The  "WINTER"woman  will be drawn by a geometric print

The  "SUMMER"woman  will be attracted by a floral print

The  "AUTUMN" woman will  be attracted by leopard prints or basic nature

The  "SPRING"woman will be attracted by funny  and eclectic prints

Prints and BODY SHAPE 

The prints have the power to divert the attention so much that in my image consulting the prints do an important work whenever you want to put in highlights your "heritage". So if you love your breast position put the prints there and subtract your attention from less flattering points. If you are a triangle woman top or woman dresses with printed patterns that capture the attention and enrich the upper body. The inverted triangle woman must think of wearing prints in the bottom half (skirts / trousers ...). The woman circle prints that are dense and with less negative space (empty) so that the eyes will focus on the release as a single entity to make you look thinner especially in your waist area. They are also ideal to hide the details. Hourglass woman should avoid dense tissue structures and / bulky prints such as brocades and tweeds ... because they are not able to follow the curves of the  body, therefore, make you lose the sinuous forms. All rectangle woman should out the details on the  upper part, on the shoulders. This will draw the attention to your upper and not your waistline.

WITH THE PRINTS IS ALL A HARMONIOUS GAME

Remember that the larger the prints are, you need to be tall to wear it successfully. The draw must be in harmony with the overall body and   the height too .Equally true that when the eye can not includes the start and the end of a press the BODY Shape  (size and height) do not count, while for the repeat prints the shape plays an important role.

PRINTS and CONTRAST

As image consultant another detail that I have to consider in consulting is the contrast of the prints, which we can divide into two types:

CONTRAST LOW, when two colors look like that is two dark colors or two light colors together,

Women "SUMMER" and "AUTUMN" are for medium / low contrast prints.

HIGH CONTRAST, a dark color paired with a bright color.

Women "WINTER" and "SPRING" are often for high-contrast prints.

DENSE or RARE PRINTS

If your eye can easily focus on individual elements of a press it is facing a rare press. If your eye wanders and does not focus on the press it is more dense (there is less negative space in printing). Dense  prints are more slimming since they keep the movement of the eyes, while the scattered prints create focal points. Scattered prints have placed the distant elements, these are the prints that fatten. The slimming prints have one thing in common - they are dense - there is little space between the printing elements or the model.

There are items that should always be in every woman's wardrobe, they are considered evergreen / must-have for without going against your personal style, they remain essential.

As an image consultant and personal shopper l start a “journey" that will take you into the perfect wardrobe, through my style tips, and at the end for each of you it will not be difficult to build it. One of the questions that often comes to me in my consulting sections is if a dress can be essential to the wardrobe, here's my answer:

IT MUST BE FLEXIBLE: For versatile I mean the color. It is important that your dress can work with the rest of the outfit, combine a t-shirt, jeans ... It becomes easier if monochrome or more complete in neutral colors thanks to my image consulting will get the most flattering color palette to your body and hints to the right selection of additional products.

IT MUST BE OF EXCELLENT QUALITY: The quality is in my opinion superior when made in Italy, it is a factor that does not necessarily mean expensive and definitely will always appear with an excellent fit. A cloth of quality over time and that it lasts even after repeated washing is always perfect.

IT MUST BE IN A CLASSIC STYLE: When I say that it is important to choose a classic style does not mean boring and dull, but that its great power never goes out of style.

THE T-SHIRT and the women’s body shape

There are few comfortable and practical garments to wear such as the t-shirt, then in the summer season it is a real statement of style and freshness. Its flexibility, comfort and style is an excellent choice for almost any occasion of the day.

As an image consultant and personal shopper "often take the neck t-shirt" when I have to advise a woman by the circle body shape (apple / O) because this wonderful figure fits  the V-necklines very well and attract the ' attention to the face. T-shirt has never to be slim -fitted or with prints / applications ... around the waist, opt for soft lines and the hem that ends below the waist.

The image consulting for a beautiful woman by the triangle body shape (Pear / A) focuses on the waist and the upper body. T-shirt with printed patterns, models that have   ruffles or horizontal stripes, pockets or embellishment as beads, embroidery or lace capture the attention and enriched the upper body. The hem of the shirt should end just below the waist to avoid drawing a horizontal line on the sides, the widest part of this body. The perfect butterfly sleeves or all the models that are beneficial to broaden the shoulders.

The woman from the rectangle body shape (banana / H) has a perfect straight, linear body with a slim waist, basically I love to dress this figure trying to create the illusion of a defined waist. The T-shirt has to be long until mid-hip if you have thin thighs and long legs, never slim-fitted waist and best straight cut. Most of these bodies have no waist so never put your t-shirt into the pants. Create a curvy shape with t-shirts that have a nipped waist, depending on your style.

A snug T-shirt is the right choice for the sensual woman the hourglass body shape (8), however, does not mean tight. No to large T-shirt and square models as they would hide the sinuous and subtle waist’s form. Be proud of your curves!

If you identify you in the women from the inverted triangle body shape (V) you will be rightly proud of your physical sculptural. As image Consultant I advise to wear T-shirts with the sleeves diagonally cut, the kimono and bat sleeves because they help to soften the shoulder area. Avoid puffy sleeves, sleeves from the horizontal cut and embellishments at the top of the T-shirt.

Needless to deny it but it is always about the back side, whether you are hapoy for a win or fortunately if you find you free from your thief / diabolical enemy or if you want to APPEAR IN BIG shape and STYLE! The curvy woman has always piqued her charm, from Monica Bellucci, Kim Kardashian Jennifer Lopez or Beyonce, women admire other women that have a nice back side, the l vulgarity 'EXCLUDED.

Many women are genetically predisposed, while others to see it larger would not hesitate to hormone treatments, cosmetic surgery, fillings or twisting exercises buttocks, but as image consultant and personal shopper I have "the power" to work on your wardrobe because I think the solution lies in choosing the look and you'll notice right away that to enhance  your back has never been easier.

Your back side looks bigger if you wear heels:

A stiletto blows slender legs, raising the full length, arching the back to your back side so as to allow to position there where it belongs, allowing a more harmonious geometry of the female shape. For maximum enhancement, wear heels that are at least 2 ½ cm high. The higher the heel, the more it will affect the posture. A further advantage of the heels worn that if they make you will even show slimmer legs and in turn your lower back will seem bigger.

The selection of pants for a big back:

One of the first things I look at in my image consulting's section is what you wear / covers around the waist. Drawings, prints, applications ... highlight your waist by diverting the attention of the eye from the backside, please pay special attention to the horizontal lines while adding volume in significant ways the waist will make you appear smaller than the back. No less important are the back pockets that draw the attention to your back side, so it can be a critical factor that must be improved.

Yes if you wear pockets with embellishments or flaps. This helps to add value on the backside. The pockets that are placed in high give a raised look.

No if you wear too low pockets because they give to your back a droopy appearance. Never wear high-waisted pants without back pockets. If you have a back dish, this will create an effect, which I like to call affectionately, "pancake" and that it is certainly not flattering.

The choice of a dress and skirt for a curvy back.

During my personal shopping I advise often to choose dresses and skirts that hug the curves rather than hide them.

Yes Fit dresses to enhance your back side that are ideal for large aspect that we want to achieve, then if the whole model will be slim-fit they are going to enhance your breast for an added bonus. The trumpet skirts is ideal for enhancing the curves because they fit on the sides with an elegant flare at the bottom. Skirts that flare from the model on the flanks. My advice is to opt for skirts that widen the hips and not on the waist, this will add volume in the detail that you need. The shorter the skirt, the more the eye is drawn on your back.

No skirts too short to not fall into vulgarity.

The best trend of spring 2016? Color, color, color !!

They always tell me... I have over 50 years! I have more than 50 years so I want to wear ionly comfortable and practical. I wonder what other people think of me! At this age I have no idea what might be flattering me and how to dare to add color to my look ....

As an image consultant and personal shopper I firmly believe that you are free to choose and to move on the planet iif you're 20, 50 or 90 years. There is no season of life , you are free to throw your old colors palettes  for new, fresh and interesting. You can celebrate the fashion season and opt for all the trendy colors.

The great Iris Apfel once said: "Life is gray and dull; you might as well have a little fun when you dress".

You buy what you like and wear what you want, but as an image consultant I can only advise you to always be sure that your new color palettes highlight the aspect that will grace today, not what you wore yesterday. There are no wrong colors. There are just the wrong color’s combinations. Let's talk about clothing and this quote is doubly important. Consider the color's  schemes in your clothes, but also the color ' s shades in combination with the face, the complexion, the hair, the eyes ... your basic color in the season of your life.

Once you get to 40 years or so, your color begins to change. After that, the skin and hair seem to turn from time to time ... and this does not mean that you should not wear your favorite colors of your glory days when the disco were all "drink and rock and roll" ... your best colors  will always be the best forever, and if some of your favorite tones will need to revise them downwards (neutralized) or taken in small doses, it does not mean dressing dark but  to take advantage of the valuable work of the accessories.

The Personal branding if it is the mirror of one's inner beauty is totally foreign to the thinking / rule that the choice of a woman's look should follow the years of her ID. A woman in 30/40 can be poorly dressed even though bon ton. Tina Turner last winter has celebrated her  sensational 75 years with miniskirt and high heels .. and Sophia Loren, Iris Apfel, Carmen Dell'Orefice .. They go on  after more than eighty years to capture the best spirit of their age dictating style and contagious desire to live the life.

"I think about everything  that encourages the women to express them  through the choice of the look, make-up and keep on  to do their best. We all need to love us at all stages of our lives! "

You may also like: The Psychology of the Color

The image consulting is a very complex study that has always fascinated me in all its aspects and the psychological influence on the color on our emotions is an important side. In the personal branding your brand is you, I could never propose you to wear a mask or an / a lookalike, absurd isn't it! Think about the fact that you are more formal towards a person dressed in navy blue than dressed in beige! Color is a powerful provocateur in the reaction of the people. It has the power to influence their emotions and always has that effect subtle but real to govern perception, judgment and behavior. As an image consultant I manage the impact of color on the image of women / men because I consider it to be always one of the first things we notice when we meet someone.

Whenever I find myself in front of my wraps that I use for consulting I perceive to each hue a psychological effect. The nerve and hormonal reactions of our body to the magnetic energies of the colors (temperatures), and the way in which you feel physically and interpret the color visually, the result is different emotional responses to various shades. Let me explain better, there is a psychological specific reaction for each color. These feelings are due to the physical effects of color on the body, everyone will have the same unconscious reaction, despite the fact that people have individual likes and dislikes of color. Every time you recommend a cloth to be worn you perceive the emotional reactions of color as a powerful psychological advantage in everyday life, just think about how you would feel more raised on a gray day if only you get dressed colored or in front of an audience and as one of the colored dress is in harmony with the setting or as you flattered more in the working palace  to improve and manage interpersonal relationship...., there  are many and all good chances to show off the right color!

If you are looking for a promotion, a contract, a success in the way of entertainment.... You should think seriously to take care of you and try to look your best. Remember that the outward appearance is just as important as the interior because they can immediately increase or break your chances. Qualifications and presentations are obviously important, but they could not bring success (carry the day), if you come with the wrong color’s palette in your face your complexion may change the perception that others have of you. In fact, whether you like it or not in this company your perception by other people is the image we have of them, largely influenced by the way people dress and how they bring their own look. 

A professionist can know his/her job inside out, but he/she still feels insecure when he/she meets clients or when there is a need to give a good impression in front of an audience of people. A designer can have great talent, but he/she is probably too low-key to impress his/her target audience. An artist can be perfectly relaxed in his/her studio while achieving his/her work, but completely at a loss when he/she must socialize during their performance / exhibition.

... And that's why then you need the help by Silk Gift Milan by Amanda Archetti as building your personal branding!

In my work as a personal branding / image consultant is critical to make sure that every client is "fall in love with himself/herself" in order to project a proper image that can help you in your business or career.

Between me and my clients women / men we hold at the beginning a session of questions to understand all the details about their work, their lives and family status. The color analysis to study the undertone of the skin, it is an important basis to know what it is best to wear.

Could be dramatic, classic, natural, comfortable and romantic.

I believe that in business, proper "dressing" is critical because if you can not even take care of your appearance, your customers will doubt that you can take care of their interests.

My suggestions are not wholly targeted at business purpose. A manager can also be a mother at the same time. In this case, comfortable fabrics with natural fibers will be the most suitable, and her look should be free of metal details to be quietly near her child.

Most customers that caters to my image consulting’s session are celebrities, business executives, finance professionals, business secretaries or owners of small and medium-sized companies.

If it is considered necessary I can help the client to go through a complete makeover, including the way they dress, eyeglasses, hair style and everything else.

Call it what you want: big tummy, spare tire, fat... it is still a common problem for women and men alike. Everybody dreams of a flat stomach and as image consultant and personal shopper I will share with you my tips about how to dress well to conceal the stomach.

If you have a big tummy, here is what you do:

• Cover the tummy with the right clothing.
• To attract the eyes of the observer looking elsewhere (= the best weapons)
• Do not draw attention to the tummy.
• Define your life.
• Learn to embrace the fat tummy and challenge yourself dressing with confidence.

ADVICE TO KNOW BEFORE PUTTING SLIM FIT CLOTHES

Wear underwear properly. With the right size of bra, your breasts will be modeled and raised giving to your a better waistline’s definition. This in turn distracts the eyes from looking at your tummy.

I'm sure many of you have heard of shapewear,  tight slips  that aim to shape your body's shape and second of the problem that you want to achieve is the model for you. As an image consultant is a great remedy that advice when you plan to wear tight-fitting clothing for the holiday, for example. You can control your tummy to flatten it or sculpt the entire body by flattering curves.

Remember that every time you drag you have been providing your stomach’s muscules to relax and soften the light-heartedness. If you do not want to attract the attention of a big tummy for sticking to bad posture trucco to get it better to make it flatter. Standing or sitting still with your back straight to pull the muscles of the stomach so it will seem flatter ... and then it's a benefit to the health of your back, does  it!?

... OTHER TIPS FOR A PERFECT WARDROBE

As Image consulting is useful to speak of color: I l agree that the black and dark colors hide the belly very well, but do not limit yourself, life is joyful with happy colors and then choose bright colors making only careful when It is to wear them in the part where there is a big tummy.

Another bad habit to draw attention to a big tummy is to sit with your knees.

Tops that drapes, hang loosely or flowy over your tummy area are perfect because the cover without clinging to the body.

There is no reason to show off your tummy and so avoid tight clothing, especially all the models that shake the tummy area.

Jacket, coat or cardigan over a top or dress will be very "camouflage" for your tummy. For a more flattering, keep them unbuttoned to create vertical lines, as well as being the true "diet tips" will make you look even taller.

Garments with prints and patterns can hide the big tummy, but be careful that they are small and dense patterns and prints.

For fabrics, if you want to put the focus of your tummy you can just wear elastic like jersey or lycra, so avoid them to opt for cotton, silk, lace, chiffon and polyester. I would avoid even the sheen of satin especially in the belly area.

The peplum style is nothing but a dress, a top or a skirt with peplum at the waist, a strip of cloth applied like a frill around the waist. They are a wonderful remedy to conceal the stomach and I find it an elegant and feminine choice.

Avoid details on your tummy area. Pockets, pleats and embellishments such as buttons, studs, buckles, etc. at the tummy area should be avoided so as not to attract attention and also add dimension to the tummy. Instead worn details (like pleats, ruffles, beading or embroidery) at the top and upper clothes to draw eyes upward away from trouble tummy.

Consider the strength of color blocking. If you use the color blocking intelligently, you can draw attention away from your tummy and at the same time create the illusion of a slim and curvy silhouette.

Pants, jeans and shorts. Choose pants, jeans and shorts model building you will easily cover the flabby tummy, at the same time emphasizes your beautiful silhouette. For models with low waist is a big "no". Pants mid-rise may or may not put your tummy in the spotlight. Some do not show the flabby tummy, while others. This is because each brand has its own specific cutting.

The skirt is at the top close to your natural waist, it gives good coverage for your flabby tummy. Ideal is the pencil skirt because it will attract the attention in the hips and thighs. If the pencil skirt is not for you, you can go for flared skirts, it widens out from the waist thus covering the flabby tummy.

As an image consultant and personal shopper I love to say that you should always be proud of your most beautiful body's parte to show off and then draw the attention to your best part for taking your eyes off your tummy. Do you have thin legs? Wear a short skirt. Do you have beautiful arms? Worn with attractively short or top / sleeveless dresses. Even if your breast is moderate in size, you can wear a plumping bra to enhance it.

It is clear that a more detailed analysis confirms the color of the season and the choice of Silk Gift Milan is the ultimate solution, but a general idea by some of you may even be reached by reading my tips as image consultant.

An excellent indicator is the image consulting section by Silk Gift Milan to understand that if you are a warm gold it is considered hot and harmonizes better with colors that are mainly hot and so Autumn or Spring, or if you are in a cold season the silver is considered cold and complete anyone with dominant shades cold for Summer or Winter.

A simple test to understand if you look best in Gold or Silver color:

You need:

• A large mirror
• Two jewels - one bright silver and the other gold light. In some cases, you may need a warm, bright yellow and royal blue cloth.
• Natural lighting

It is just that you hold the two metals against your face to take note of who makes the complexion brighter and stands out more.

If the metal gold gives you a glow, you feel more fresh and gives a look more alive, then you are definitely a gold!

If the metal silver will brighten up your face, giving your eyes a brighter color and healthy, then you're a silver!

However, if you can not decide because both metals seem to enjoy it as well on your face. It may be that there is good in a sensational / flattering with both, or just right, then there might be something else again.

IF GOLD LOOKS BETTER ON YOU THAN SILVER:

Hair: Blond, reds, browns and blacks ... with a red or gold.

The color of your skin is dark with contrasting hot dominant (peach or yellow).

Eyes dark brown to light brown / topaz, brown, green, blue warm.

This means you get a fabulous look with rich colors, gold and earth, that improve your warm coloring.

HERE ARE SOME OF YOUR BEST COLOR:

Soft colors like camel, beige, bronze and gray.

Orange mango, softer tones of peach and gold.

Earthy green like lime, grass, celery, olives, moss and jade.

Off-white, ivory and cream give it a more inviting than the white snow because of their slight tinge warm and yellow.

They fit over the warm tones of red (eg. Red tomato) that red blue like burgundy.

The blue color is considered cold, then opt for shades like navy blue and navy for a stunning appearance.

IF SILVER LOOKS BETTER ON THAN GOLD

Hair: Dark brown, white-blond, salt and pepper, silver.

Skin: Black, olive, ivory or pale white, with obvious nuances cold.

Eyes: Dark brown, black, blue, emerald green, purple, gray.

This means you get a fabulous look with colors that have a cool undertone.

HERE ARE SOME OF YOUR BEST COLOR:

Pastel colors and soft as the pastel green, blue and pink.

Different shades of pink as raspberry, light pink, light red, plum.

Bright colors like emerald green.

Pure white, shades of white.

You are in great shape with red tones as blue as the true red (preferably darker hair color).

Almost every shade of the sea blends perfectly with your complexion.

IF BOTH GOLD AND SILVER LOOK EQUALLY GOOD ON YOU

You may be neutral; which it is a color that has both hot and cold shades in the hair, eyes and / or skin. Among the famous women considered neutral: Jennifer Aniston, Katherina Heigl and Drew Barrymore.

The stage of the Teatro alla Scala in Milan for over two centuries has been introducing the performance of internationally renowned artists, composers, orchestra’s conductors, musicians and étoile: names that have shaped the history of opera like Giuseppe Verdi and Arturo Toscanini, interpreters of exceptional value as Maria Callas, Carla Fracci and Roberto Bolle. The most eagerly awaited date, and among the most worldly in the Milanese calendar for the international scene

It is on the 7th December that it is the day of St. Ambrose that is the patron of the city in which it traditionally opens the theater’s season thanks to the first performance.

For the 2015-16 season it will be “Joan of Arc by Verdi", Riccardo Chailly will be the director. A pride of the Italian culture that becomes the occasion of catwalks for celebrity faces in the foyer. It is used to imagine the dress code  for the play  like  tuxedo for men and dresses  with amazing lengths for ladies, but today the dress code tends  to be fairly different and the public embraces the freedom of its choices even if it  remains obvious the demand that you wear clothes that are in line with the decor of the theater.

By the way wearing an evening dress for an event is still an important occasion where deserve to make a sensational part, as an image consultant I am often requested to give the "rules" useful to know:

• Do not be afraid to go be unconventional, I am a personal branding consultant too and I can believe this the first rule. Follow your own style and not to be afraid to break a few rules. An example of the jet set is Kate Moss that when all the female guests wear long dresses, she opts for a tuxedo.
• There is often the required Black Tie, it means long dress and tuxedo, but as an image consultant I add that it is important to dress respecting the body ' s shape   "A long dress flowing throughout the body is generally perfect for taller women while women "that are petite" tend to satisfy the 50s dresses "or models that more closely  are falling to their knees." the shorter is the dress, the higher is the neckline of it.
• The pumps with a nice heel is the right choice for the most glamorous evenings. Maybe comfortable but definitely avoid the wedges (especially if the skirt falls above the knee) because I find it the easiest way to give your outfit an economic outlook).
• The color of the dress. "Women usually prefer to wear black at events, because it makes them feel safe, however, if there is a woman wearing red, she will inevitably be the eye-catcher of the evening. And as if the room enlighten suddenly, just perfect for a grand entrance". Valentino says ... The black is always elegant, but have you ever tried the dark blue? Gold and silver less classic, but still of great impact.
• Do not let the night think your accessories and make-up by wearing a pair of heels, a sparkling necklace, red lips for any outfit. Think about your look as a whole from shoes to jewelry to ensure that everything is in harmony. If the dress is "simple" and monochromatic the accessories can declare, as if the model's dress has bold prints the accessories should only serve to support and enhance the outfit, opt for simple lines.

Ad shown that fashion is often unpredictable, to match socks with sandals, for years it has been considered a major faux pas in the footwear's world, today it has become a trend for celebrities, experts and stars of the fashion Street style. In its proposals for the Fashion Week autumn / winter 2015-16 sandals with socks became evident by Dsquared2, Stella Jean and Tory Burch ..., Even if I personally admire more   all the fantastic sandals than the socks!

I am sure that your creativity does not fail to surprise even fashion advicer, in fact it is not by chance that I purposely wanted to gather ideas of how to match socks with sandals by taking  inspiration from milanese street style and I was thrilled.

• Total black look: black socks and   sandals  ... .a real chic detail, that it is even more trendy when the sandal has metal parts (with silver studs like rockstuds by Valentino) and if you have at least one item from the color in the outfit, the look becomes gorgeous.
• For a right look  for the whole day, from work, till the happy hour 's time, on leaving until the evening, try a light colored socks with a black shoe with a  classic heel. Choose your favorite heels and  oppose the sandals  with a  white or pastel socks. As image consultant in the outfit I would not miss the pencil skirt that come just below the knee, it works best.
• I've always liked women who dare to something more daring and alternative to the current trend, changing and often likely to create their personality. Wear dark socks with neon or bright color shoes by combining  with a softer color dress and a coat chosen from the palette of the neutral colors.
• For people like me who has a inner passion for animal style or decorated heels wear with socks equally daring. You will not appear "too much" if the shoes and socks have a pattern similar  shades.'s color of the outfit.
• Eclectic is to wear jeans, heels with socks, maybe lilac color with silver heels, so you will give to your look a touch of color just by keeping your feet warm.
• Combine also socks with the prints by creating a link with rest of the outfit, but, remember that you must follow the similar color palette shades to keep the correct combination of its tones.

The combinations are endless, it is an explosion of creativity and it is enough to look through the drawers of our wardrobes to find out the right sock to combine with our favorite heel, let apart becouse it was too eccentric. As an image consultant I think the key to wear socks with heels is the choice of right socks for the outfit and the mix of unexpected colors.
