With each new season, new fashion expressions appear. Here is a lookbook for example. This word is quite modern, and therefore not everyone still understands what it means. If translated from English literally, then the phrase "book of style" is obtained. This answer is not very clear, so let's take a closer look.
What is a lookbook?
In fact, this is a picture in which several photographs are collected. As a result of the combination of several elements of clothing, hairstyles, shoes and accessories, a harmonious fashionable image is obtained. Each detail in the lookbook has its own small description, including the name, brand and price.
Many people are wondering: how is a lookbook created? If you omit the technical side of the question, then you need to follow the following rules:
- Determine what event the image is being created for.
- Select the season and style in which the lookbook will be created.
- In the event that you decide to mix several styles, do not forget that in addition to interesting design things inthe ensemble should also include basic things.
- Think about the color scheme and evaluate the combination.
Lookbooks can be found on fashion websites, magazines, blogs, store catalogs. Well-known brands are mixing elements with new clothes to promote their newly released collection.
Why and who needs it?
When choosing clothes in the store, people sometimes do not understand what they will be combined with after. 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 make life easier for customers, designers present several ready-made ensembles in the windows that customers can focus on.
Among other things, a lookbook is a great tool for learning to figure out the right combination of things. Not everyone has time to sit for hours and think about what to wear and with what. These pictures help here, where it is enough to choose the appropriate image and simply repeat it.
They are also popular with celebrity fans. They certainly want to know what their idol is wearing and where he got it. And again, lookbooks come to the rescue, revealing all the information of interest. Sometimes you can even find two options: those things that are worn by 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 flowy fabrics. Warm season in addition to increasing hours of sunshinebrings with it a special feeling of joy, renewal and awakening. The fabric will convey this mood better than anything else.
- Floral prints. You can’t do without them if you are compiling a summer-spring lookbook. These are Japanese sakura, sunflowers, passionate roses and delicate lilies.
- Free forms. Clothing that is too tight in the warm season can lead to irritation and discomfort.
- Points. In addition to protecting from the sun, they perform another function: they give the image completeness. Frame shapes and colors 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, rounded, with intricate edges, in a word, to the personal taste of everyone.
- Overcoat. It has long become a classic along with the trench coat and therefore will fit into almost any lookbook. This is a military style, but you can combine it with other areas.
- Scarf. Like glasses in warm weather, a scarf can make any look unique, not like everyone else. Even choosing trendy things that are found on everyone you meet, with the right 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, over a T-shirt, rolled up the sleeves, creating a sloppy look, and fasten all the buttons, giving the image a rigor.
When compiling your own lookbook, you need to focus onnew trends in the fashion world. But at the same time, we must not forget that, blindly following all the new products and putting them on all at once, without taking into account your color type and figure parameters, you can end up looking very ridiculous. Consider what is fashionable in the new season, but do not forget about your uniqueness. A properly composed lookbook is a real art.
