In one of your last videos, you talked about principles of coordination – can you go in more detail on this, please?
There are 4 main principles of co-ordination – these are:
- Levels of Refinement
- Principle of Volume
- Related Shapes
- Related Lines
Each of these influences how we put outfits together, from accessories to garments, and how to choose garments that are designed in an attractive fashion too!
I have made a series of videos that I will share here to tell you more about each of these, the first of these I’m sharing here – Levels of Refinement – which I have also written about here. Plus about the how formal is that fabric which touches on this topic too.
This concept can also be applied to work dress codes.
I dislike heels with jeans or other casual pants!
Imogen,
I’ve learned so much from you & there are so many times I’ve thought, “Oh, so that’s why I like that,” or “Oh, that’s why that works/doesn’t work for me” when reading one of your posts or viewing one of your videos. These levels of refinement are something I think I’ve always had an innate sense of & it’s nice to put it into words. With your help I’ve also figured out why I’ve always been drawn to the styles in the maternity department! I’m slim & small busted with a short torso & little waist definition – thanks to you I’ve figured out it’s the empire waist styles that work for my body (not some deep seated desire for another baby)! (Don’t worry, I don’t shop in the maternity dept.)!
I also wanted to tell you I love the soft colors you’re wearing in the video – nice complement to your new coloring!
