We are inspired by the elegant style of our heroine and adopt simple but effective ways to add femininity to your wardrobe.
Very often I hear from clients and readers that modern fashion has completely turned its back on femininity - all around are solid sneakers, baggy clothes and jeans. I hasten to reassure you, dear girls, femininity has always been, is and will be in fashion! Only the styles change (and even then, not so much if you look closely). It turns out that a feminine image can be composed both of morally obsolete things (although it will not be fashionable at the same time), and of things that are relevant, and then we get what I like to call "modern femininity."
A new approach to femininity: 20 patterns in the style of Garcon
How to understand which images are relevant and which are not?
Here at this stage, you and I will need a look - we will look for examples of modern feminine images, be inspired, and also analyze them in detail, but not to blindly copy, but to understand what techniques each of us could borrow for our own style and wardrobe.
Today I want to introduce you to a girl whose sets won me over at first sight. Her name is Haley, she lives in California, USA, and has her own blog.

It would seem that such simple things - trousers, a shirt and a jacket-blouse or jacket, but how feminine everything looks together! What is the secret?
The first is color. Please note that all things are bright. The lighter the shades, the usually the softer and softer the whole image looks. In this case, it is a combination of white and pale blue.

By the way, this kit is perfect for girls who want to hide their tummy - the shirt is not tucked into pants. Be sure to try this technique again, and choose fabric for trousers and blouses of similar colors. Then you will get not only a magical sliming effect, but also a stylish monochrome combination.
Try to choose a jacket not too fitted styles. Girls with a large bust - choose semi-adjacent models with tucks and don’t sew a tight-fitting jacket.
The second aspect is feminine accessories. Haley uses high-heeled shoes in many of her looks, but you and I do not have to do this at all. Now there are a lot of models on sale in a low comfortable heel, they look very elegant and at the same time allow you to comfortably spend on your feet all day.
A small straw bag also adds ease and lightness to the look.
So, remember? The first trick is light shades, the second is feminine accessories! From image to image, we will observe these characteristic features of Haley's style, and we will definitely be able to notice something for ourselves!

One of the hottest trends of this season is a suit with a miniskirt. Hello 80th! Pay attention to how the length of the skirt and the jacket correlates: the skirt peeps 5-10 cm from under the elongated blazer. It can be worn with a belt, to further emphasize the waist and make the silhouette even more feminine, and without it.
Combine the incongruous: what shoes to wear with skirts of different lengths?
If you decide to sew such a suit from a boucle, I recommend choosing a plain fabric with a minimum of inclusions and weaves with threads of contrasting colors. Do not chase the most difficult texture and an abundance of shades in the fabric, limit yourself to choosing a beautiful color booklet.
By the way, here Haley again shows us a great example of using pastel colors - the combination of a powdery pink shade with white looks very gentle.

Haley is a master in combining blazers with feminine dresses and skirts. By the way, it is the blazer that makes the image relevant. It also helps not to freeze on a cool May morning or evening.
The formula here is indecently simple and (I’m not afraid of this word) ingenious: we choose a beautiful printed fabric (this is the third technique that should be taken into service), we take any dress made of flying fabric (I picked up several successful options for patterns) in the length of the midi (or skirt from flying fabric in the length of the midi), add a semi-fitted elongated blazer, as well as a belt, if we want an additional emphasis on the waist.
Focus on the waist: patterns that emphasize the figure
We get an incredibly feminine and very stylish look. By the way, shoes can be easily replaced with white sneakers, if you want a little more comfort and you are not against such combinations. The image will only benefit from this!

As I noted earlier, when I buttoned up, I really like to wear a belt over the jacket, so we make the silhouette more feminine.
Pencil skirt + biker jacket
Another very beautiful look is a button-down pencil skirt in midi length with a blouse and a biker-style jacket. See how such a jacket can look feminine if, again, you choose a fabric in a light shade!
Do not sew the jacket tight-fitting, and choose the length somewhere between the waistline and the line of the hips (be sure to focus on fitting).
Haley again makes up for the simple cut of her blouse with a print, in this case it's polka dots, which, by the way, is now in trend.

Tutu skirt + blouse
This image is my favorite. Only I propose to compose it not from a dress, but from a blouse and a skirt with tucks - so there will be more different possibilities for combining these things separately, and of course, in the form of a kit. We complement the image with a blazer and voila!
Pay attention again to the colors and accessories - very gently.

Summer coat + skirt or pants
The last two looks are my personal ode to a summer coat. This is such a cool and feminine alternative to jackets and jackets. The length of the midi itself makes this coat a very elegant thing. We add a pencil skirt with a blouse from flowing fabric or trousers with a printed shirt and get incredibly sophisticated images for the office.

And again, attention to the color scheme of the kits. Agree, it’s amazing how light shades can turn completely ordinary things into such a feminine image!
