Remember, you are seen as the Sophisticated Lady! So, the key to maintaining this appearance is to wear smooth and controlled shapes and outlines of everything you put on, head-to-toe. A sleek hairstyle, bluntly cut and smoothly styled; symmetrical and even lines and silhouettes to your clothing; a perfectly blended makeup in soft neutral shades; and beautifully understated jewelry and accessories express your aristocratic elegance with grace and ease.
- Clothes should be tailored or ever-so-slightly flowing
- You will prefer solid colors, but prints include soft abstracts, houndstooth, and herringbone
- Textures should be refined such as silk, woolens, cottons, or knits
- Fabrics should be those that have richness and quality; matte finishes and low lusters
- Clothing should be very symmetrical - SYMMETRY is your cardinal rule!
- Nothing oversized, superfluous or outrageous
"My dear, gracious, aristocratic, pragmatic, Classic friend, you are like a flawless diamond, brilliant and sparkling in your absolute perfection." Metamorphosis, David Kibbe 1987Classic Celebrities
