Image Construction – Creating a more attractive You

People often ask how are you doing, but you have to ask yourself, "how do I get out? "This is the first step in building, managing, or upgrade your image.

This article affects some assumptions to assess and revise your visual image to create a more attractive you will improve your chances of success, opening the door for more opportunities, and increase your attractiveness.

FOR WOMEN
Either you have an "Apple shape" or a "pear-shape," according to Dr. Marie Savard, author of Apples and pears: The Body Shape Solution for Weight Loss and Wellness. Dr. Marie Savard explains how body shape can forecast health destiny.

A woman's body shape depends on the type of fat, she wears the most – and all fats are not created equal, "she says. So with a tape measure, you can decide what kind you are. Just measure your waistline and hip circumference, add them together to calculate your waist to hip ratio. If you are 80 or over you are an apple. Below 80 you are a pear.

It is important for me to point out that the image design is not just about superficial appearances: It's about feeling good on the inside, looks good out on the outside. There are health problems associated with both body types and I would be wrong if I do not share them with you here.

Dr. Marie Savard goes on to explain that Apple-shaped women who have weight around their middle managers are more likely to develop diseases such as heart disease, diabetes, or breast cancer. They are also more likely to have anxiety, depression, menstrual irregularities and fertility problems.

Pear-shaped women, who adds pounds around their hips, butt and thighs – are more susceptible to problems like osteoporosis, varicose veins, cellulite, and eating disorders. They are also more likely to lower self-esteem due to a poor body image, and is expected to have a tough transition through menopause.

Can this be controlled? Of course it can be. Apple-shaped women have to commit to a consistent aerobic exercise for at least thirty minutes daily to reduce the fat stored in the waist / stomach area. Pear-shaped women need to engage in regular resistance training to reduce bulb zone fat cells and build bone density.

FOR MEN
Men mainly have 3 body types. They are:

Ec tomorphs: Thin men with a linear appearance, small muscles, ultra-rapid metabolism, low body fat, narrow shoulders, hips and waist.
Endomorph: Obviously the "big boned" men with round faces, soft and flabby bodies in general, wider hips, bigger waist, and a slow metabolism.
Mesomporhs: Naturally muscular men with athletic physics broad shoulders, small waist, athletic build, low body fat percentage, and increased metabolism.

FIT FOR FASHION
Once you determine what your body shape is, you have taken an important step to create your own visual awareness. The next step is to find clothes that will fit you properly. When it comes to building your image, fit is as important as fashion. Clothes that do not fit properly communicating the wrong messages, such as lack of attention to detail, sloppiness, carelessness; and lack of critical thinking. Would you want to do business with a person who disseminates these qualities?

The right fit will increase your positive physical attributes and camouflage your negative. People wearing proper clothing to command more presence and attention than those who do not.

DIN Epicenter
The epicenter of power for both men and women is the midsection of the body. A trim waistline is associated with a young and sex appeal in both sexes. That is one area that men and women have the most difficult to maintain over time because of delayed metabolism and accumulation of fat cells.

You can camouflage these errors the proper clothing! Ditch the shirts that flock and gather around your midsection, they can add as much as 2 to 3 inches to your waistline! Women with extra fat around center should favor shirts and dresses with designs that have a "slimming" effect. These will be vertical (no horizontal) stitches (no patterns), or strategic placed fabric which emphasize "pockets" and creates a desired streamlining illusion. Big belts and vests also create this effect.

DIN True Colors – a seasonal THING
Colors that complement the natural tones of your skin tone is preferable. Although people come in a kaleidoscope of colors, there are two skin tones, you should be most concerned with from a fashion point of view: hot and cool, or winter and summer … Of course there is also Spring and autumn in between, let us throw some light on them all.

Your complexion and coloring determine which colors work best for you. Look at your hair, eyes, and skin color (the inside of your wrist is preferable). If your skin is hot, you feel better in warm toned clothing, such as cream, coffee, chocolate, olives, apricots, pinks and brownish red like burgundy, etc. If your skin is cool, you should feel better in cool colors like white, ice blue, baby pink, mint green, jade, purple and navy, etc. All these colors represent the seasons. Once you know your season, you will have a personal guideline of colors and shades, works best for you.

Justine Kim created one of the best descriptions of colors, I have read in a recent article published on Soko.com. She writes:

Winter: Winter is a cool tone. People with winter complexions have blue or pink / pink undertones. The skin may be pale and porcelain white, yellowish olive or dark. Winters are generally brunettes with deeply colored eyes. Many Asians and African Americans fall into this category. Natural white-blondes may also be winters.

Best Colors for Winter
Winters should wear hues that are sharp, crisp and clear. You will see the best in intense, rich colors, as black, navy blue, red and pink. These powerful shades will complement your color. For lighter colors, wear bright white or icy pastels, as like cool blues, pinks and yellow.

Worst Colors for Winter
Avoid dressing in earth tones and subdued colors like beige, orange and gold. They will make you look faded.

Summer: Summer is also a cool tone and facial color as winter, the summers among us have blue or pink undertones. Skin is very pale and pink. Summer coloring usually occurs in natural blondes, and even pale-skinned brunettes with pale eyes. If you're an attempt to distinguish between winter and summer, winters are usually brunettes and summers are most natural blondes.

Best colors for summer
Summers have a low level of contrast between their hair, eye color and color. For you to look your best, choose soft neutral and pastels and muted colors with cool undertones. Powder blue, dusty pink, mauve, lavender, plum, and pale yellow are all great color choices.

Worst Colors for Summer
Avoid intense, vivid colors because they will look harsh and drown you out. Nor should you wear earth colors. Stay away from black and orange.

Autumn: Autumn is a warm tone and people with this complexion have golden undertones in their skin as a pale peach, golden beige or golden brown. Many redheads and brunettes with golden brown eyes fall into this category. But, golden blonde and black hair color may also fall into this range.

Best colors for autumn
You have plenty of depth to your color and skin color. Rich golden, spicy and earthy colors will accent your complexion. Therefore, look for a warm undertone when selecting a color. You can wear both muted and rich warm colors, seen autumn leaves and spice colors, as camel, beige, olive, orange, gold and dark brown. You will also look good in a rich warm gray.

Worst Colors of Autumn
Stay away from clear, bright colors and black and white that will make your look tired and faded. Also steer clear of pastels and blue tones, which will look cold against your skin and give you a pale appearance.

Spring: Spring is also a warm tone. People in this facial color has subtle golden undertones and are usually creamy white or peach. springs are very light ivory color. People in this color are usually natural golden blonde, Auburn, or strawberry blond redheads. Springs also have very clear, light blue and green colored eyes. Freckles and red cheeks are also characteristic of this group.

If you can not determine whether you are an autumn or a spring, springs tend to have pale eyes while autumn's dark eyes.

Best colors for Spring
Springs can wear very pale, soft colors such as peach, camel, golden tan, and aqua. You will also see the amazing in ivory, bright greens, true red, bright blue and coral. Your colors can be particularly difficult to find because they can never be too disconnected or too dark.

Worst colors for spring
Avoid black and white, there are too contrasting for you. Also stay away from the dark, dull colors.

Primary considerations
When choosing wardrobe, there are three primary considerations that will not lead you astray: 1) weather – what is the prognosis? Will you be in or outdoors? A combination of both? Want a hat (sun), or should you not wear a hat (wind)? Weather also can dictate the choice of fabric you wear. That wool jacket is probably not the answer for being cool in August (unless you live in Australia).

The venue, where you'll be wearing your clothes is also important. Will you be at a conference taking place at a hotel? If yes, they are notorious for cranking up air conditioners, which means that you can achieve comfort in a light blazer. Women can gain comfort in layers. Is the place seated? If not, the high heels are not ideal for the standing-only concert you plan to participate.

And what is this? A summer house party and summer party on a boat, both will require different wardrobe choices. Is it formal or semi-formal? Casual or business casual? Will there be pictures taken? If so you may want to avoid wearing busy patterns and bright colors.

In addition, all professional considerations should be given priority. This form fitting dress with plunging neckline that you want to wear for smart social events should be discarded in a office setting. Similarly, the Elton John-style jacket that you've picked up on sale at Macy's. They both have their place, and you should exercise discretion when wearing them.

Polishing Up Your Image
Remember, fashion is like music – it is very subjective. One point that everyone who is fashion conscious agree on is this: when you have developed visual consciousness, your own fashion sense then can be developed. You are dressing yourself, not others. This implies knowing what works best for you, not necessarily what you like best. There is a difference.

How do you know what works best for you? By paying attention to the clothes, you get the most compliments on while wearing them. We all have a shirt, a jacket, a dress, shoes – some piece of clothing if not a whole outfit, as we have received compliments on. Note the fit, fabric and designs and make similar purchases. Most of my dress shirts are the same designer.

The final phase of the image design: fashion honesty. It is the stage where you can make sound decisions mode most of the time. Believe me no one does it right way decisions all the time. It is not the way creative efforts work. Flair is born from that bold, bold move, sometimes fall short. It is also important to remember that these are all guidelines – not rules – so have fun and do not pressure yourself.

Once you have built up an image that works for you will begin to notice that the world looks different to you because you look different to the world. Your picture, when built inside and out, is an indestructible platform from which many of your successes can be implemented.

Feel good. Look good. Be good. The rest will take care of itself.
