Did you guys ever think how it would be if Fashion has rules and regulations, then we would be bound to those rules with limited fashion sense. Luckily we were never in that regime. Today’s fashion has opened a whole new dimension to the world, its colors, patterns and styles are unlimited and unique. Each of them give you an inspiration, to try something new. But do we need Etiquette? I say yes, because, it would help us to dress more appropriately for the occasion and we would be more specific while choosing our accessories.
Let us consider a scenario where you are supposed to host a Fundraising Event. It could be promoting wildlife or it could be a charity event. As a host, you have a big responsibility to attract the crowd. Everyone is looking over you, so you need to dress as per the crowd and the occasion. For Wildlife event the crowd would be kids, teens and adults. You need to carry a strong image in front this young crowd, so for that if you dress up formally, it wouldn’t capture your thoughts with your image. Same way with the accessories. Good choice would add more depth and feel to your look.
I believe we need to invest our time and money in following accessories, first I would say Shoes. which are” girl’s first love” what say guys, you agree with me right? :). Great shoes would always add more color to your outfit and there is a saying ” one with a right footwear can rule the world”. Next would be a watch. It’s like an everyday jewelry accessory. It makes you look more elegant. Final one would be a perfect hand bag. As you know “Handbags speak louder than words”, with a matching handbag you would look more graceful. To complete your look, you need to style your hair and go for the makeup look accordingly
So, depending upon the occasion you need to emphasize your accessories, outfit, hair and makeup. For me Etiquette means defining Fashion with these combinations, which would give us a unique style for an individual. As there is a saying ” Style is a way to say who you are without having to speak”. I hope this would help you guys to build your own “Style Etiquette”. Please do post your style statements and outfit ideas and share your views on this topic.
