With each new season, new fashionable expressions appear. Here, for example, is a lookbook. This word is quite modern, and therefore not everyone understands what it means. If you translate from English literally, you get the phrase "book of style." Such an answer is not particularly intelligible, so we will examine in more detail.
What is a lookbook?
In fact, this is a picture in which several photographs are collected. As a result of combining several elements of clothes, hairstyles, shoes and accessories, a harmonious fashionable image is obtained . Each detail in the lookbook has its own small description, including the name, brand name and price.
Many people ask: how is a lookbook created? If you omit the technical side of the issue, then you need to follow the following rules:
- Decide for which event an image is being created.
- Choose the time of year and the style in which the lookbook will be created.
- In that case, if you decide to mix several styles, do not forget that in addition to interesting designer things in the ensemble, basic things should also be present.
- Think over the color scheme and evaluate the combination.
Lookbooks can be found on trendy websites, magazines, blogs, and store directories. Well-known brands mix elements with new clothes in order to advertise the just released collection.
Why and who needs it?
Choosing clothes in the store, people sometimes do not understand what they will combine with afterwards. So it turns out that the closet continues to be filled with things that do not harmonize with each other at all. In order to simplify the life of customers, designers present on the windows several ready-made ensembles that customers can focus on.
Among other things, a lookbook is a great tool to learn how to figure out the right combination of things. Not everyone has time to sit and think for hours on what to wear. Such pictures help here, where it is enough to choose a suitable image and just repeat it.
They are also popular with celebrity fans. They certainly want to know what their idol is dressed in and where he got it. And dreams come to the rescue lookbooks, revealing all the information of interest. Sometimes you can even meet two options: those things that are dressed in celebrities, and analogues of democratic brands.
Lookbook summer and spring
All lookbooks are divided into seasons. Summer and spring are usually represented by similar ensembles. They are characterized by the presence of:
- Light and flowing tissues. The warm season, in addition to increasing sundial, brings with it a special feeling of joy, renewal and awakening. The fabric is better than anything else to convey this mood.
- Floral prints. You can’t do without them if a summer-spring lookbook is compiled. These are Japanese sakura, sunflowers, passionate roses and delicate lilies.
- Free forms. Too tight clothing during the warmer months can lead to irritation and discomfort.
- Points. In addition to protection from the sun, they perform another function: give the image completeness. The shapes of the frame and its color can be any.
Lookbook Autumn and Winter
Winter and autumn already require outerwear, more durable and tight-fitting fabrics. Suitable for this season:
- Hat. Like a tunic, round, with intricate edges, in a word, to the personal taste of everyone.
- Overcoat. It has long become a classic along with a trench coat and therefore will fit into almost any lookbook. This is a military style, but you can combine it with other directions.
- Scarf. As in warm time, glasses, a scarf is able to make any image unique, not like everyone else. Even if you choose trending things that occur on every counter, with a properly selected scarf, you can stand out from the crowd.
- Classic shirt. This is generally a universal thing, because a shirt can be worn under a sweater, a T-shirt, rolled up sleeves, creating a scruffy appearance, and buttoning all the buttons, giving the image of severity.
When composing your own lookbook, you need to focus on new trends in the world of fashion. But at the same time, we must not forget that by blindly following all the new products and putting them on yourself all at once, not taking into account your color type and body parameters, you can end up looking very ridiculous. Keep in mind that it is fashionable in the new season, but do not forget about your uniqueness. A properly designed lookbook is a real art.
