Arabesque: the alluring eastern ornament in modern fashion
The name “arabesque” itself, translating from Italian as “Arabian,” traces its origins to the Arab East during the Middle Ages.
A wardrobe according to your color type
There are four types and they all correspond to the seasons: winter, spring, summer and autumn. We will tell you how to determine your color type and what shades should prevail in representatives of each of them.
It happens that in the store we can’t choose anything for a long time. It seems that we like it, but something is not right. It can be because the color or shade is not your thing. Some women immediately determine: “the color is not mine.” Let’s figure out how to learn to see “your” colors and choose the right things in the closet.
Defining a color type
Winter
The skin of “winter” girls is light and snow-white.
Tan is not brown, but closer to olive. Hair is dark, with a cold tint. From dark brown to coal-black. Girls with blond hair are rare in this color type.
The shade of the eyes is bright. The white contrasts with the iris of the eye. A distinctive feature of the winter color type is bright eyebrows and eyelashes.
Spring
The skin is light, yellowish-golden, freckles are also golden. The skin of “spring” girls tans perfectly.
Their hair is light, blond or red. If brown, then with a golden hue.
Eyes blue, turquoise, green, even golden brown. The shades are gentle, not bright. Eyelashes and eyebrows can be slightly darker than hair. Light or brown shades.
Summer
Skin is rather pale, even porcelain. Vessels are often visible through the skin. Freckles are not golden, but ashy.
Hair from very light shades to brown. But always with an ashy tint.
Eyes gray-blue, light blue, green-blue, dark blue. Lashes and eyebrows also with ashy, gray tint.
Autumn
Skin of a yellowish-golden, warm hue. Very many freckles. At the same time, the skin of “autumn” is very difficult to tan, and there is practically no natural blush.
Hair is deep red, brownish-golden, golden-red.
Eyes bright and saturated shades: green, blue, brown. Eyelashes are thick, but very light, and eyebrows in the tone of hair or a little lighter.
Defining a color type
Winter
Snowy white and saturated black are excellent. Do not be afraid of bright colors: red, dark blue, bright pink, lemon yellow. But orange and its shades definitely will not do, avoid pastel colors.
Spring
Choose light, warm shades. For example: yellow, peach, orange, olive, beige. Do not choose too bright, heavy shades. For example, black and purple.
Summer
Most of all suit pastel colors, blue and gray shades, cool yellow. Among the bright colors, go for raspberry and cherry, dark blue and dark brown. Avoid black and too warm colors such as apricot, peach and carrot.
Autumn
Brown tones and golden hues are ideal. Warm shades of red, cherry, mustard and terracotta will look well. Pink and its shades will definitely not do. And also gray-green, emerald and lilac.
We hope that you were able to determine your color type. Now it is easier for you to choose clothes in a store or fabrics for self sewing.
