QuestionHow do I identify matching designs?Community AnswerYou have to look at the two designs as a whole. Sometimes floral might work well with stripes; other times the same combo will look horrible because of the clothing or color. Try it on and see if it works. If you're not confident about it, don't wear it.

QuestionHow do I know something that I put together matches?Community AnswerFashion isn't about matching - it's about balance. In general, you want to play with shape, weight, and color. The end result should be pleasing to the eye. If you are unsure, stick to simple shapes and neutral colors with one focal point - a pop of color or a strong print. Strong structured pieces should be balanced by soft and flowing pieces. Colors don't have to match but should be in the same color family. Avoid more than one pattern or print in an outfit unless you have the confidence to pull it off.

QuestionWhat are some tips for fashion illustration?Community AnswerWhen illustrating an outfit, make sure to draw a simple croquis that doesn’t take time or attention away from the design. A “croquis” is a quick sketch drawing of a large model. Find tutorials on how to efficiently render materials (such as knits, silk, or lace). Don’t draw too much attention to the hair, makeup, or jewelry (statement pieces excluded) in order to keep the focus on the outfit only.

QuestionWhat do I do if my parents don't like me making fashion choices for them when I want to be a fashion expert?Community AnswerIt's okay to give friendly advice once in a while––if wanted. If your parents don't want you to make the choices for them, then that's that. Don't make the choices for them. Remember they've already made decisions for themselves about what they want to wear over many years and they don't need your advice unless they want it. Perhaps you could offer advice to some of your friends instead.

QuestionI'm a geek and nothing really looks good on me. What can I do?bhumi chhajerCommunity AnswerFirst, the problem is in your thinking, start loving yourself first. Start with someone whose fashion sense you like the most, imitate their clothes ad style. And the first thing, be confident about yourself. If you are wearing the same clothes and then you feel that you don't look good, then it's a confidence problem.
