Fashion Tips

A few basics to help you understand your StyleMe analysis and choose outfits that bring out your best.

Color theory basics

Know your undertone

Warm undertones (golden, peachy) suit terracotta, mustard, olive and camel. Cool undertones (rosy, bluish) prefer blue, emerald, burgundy and grey. Quick test: green-looking veins usually mean warm, blue-looking veins cool.

Contrast level

If the contrast between your skin, hair and eyes is high, bold pairings like black and white work well. If it is soft, go for tone-on-tone and muted shades.

Easy color harmonies

Monochrome (shades of one color), analogous (neighboring colors) or complementary (opposites, like blue and orange): three reliable rules for building an outfit.

Colors near your face

The color of your top matters most because it reflects on your skin. A flattering shade brightens you up, an unflattering one can dull your complexion.

Silhouette and proportions

Define the waist

A belt, a tailored jacket or a tucked-in top shapes the silhouette and balances proportions.

Play with volume

Pair something loose with something fitted: an oversized top with slim pants, or a flowy skirt with a close-fitting top.

Necklines

V-necks and open necklines elongate the face and neck. High collars suit longer faces. Round necklines soften angular features.

Hem lengths

A hem that ends at the narrowest part of your leg (knee, ankle) is more flattering than one ending at the widest.

Everyday styling tips

The rule of three colors

Stick to three colors per outfit, neutrals included, for a cohesive look.

Invest in basics

Good jeans, a white shirt, a blazer and clean sneakers go with almost everything.

Fit is everything

A well-fitted piece always looks more expensive. A quick tailoring job is often worth it.

Textures and accessories

Mixing fabrics (knit, leather, linen) adds depth to a neutral outfit. One accessory is enough to make it yours.

Getting the most from StyleMe

A clear photo

Take your photo in natural light, facing the camera with your face visible. Good lighting gives a more accurate read of your skin tone.

Lay the garment flat

Photograph the clothing item alone, fully visible, on a plain background without heavy wrinkles.

Compare outfits

Try several options and compare scores in your history to spot the cuts and colors that work for you.

A guide, not a rule

The score is a helper. Your comfort and personal taste matter as much as any rule.
