Q&A for How to Be a Fashion Expert

You 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.

Talk to her about your tastes, listen to her concerns and try to find a compromise.

Buy him a special treat to eat and then make him sit in a place. You can give your brother your phone so he can be occupied while you shop.

Look in your area for fashion schools or online programs.

Always be yourself. How you dress is an expression of you! If people don't follow the trends you set, don't worry. People are afraid of change and may be too scared to dress how you do.

Fashion 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.

You can always go for your style. Always try to look bold, but not too boring, smart but not too nerdy. Make sure to put your own touch on everything you do.

You can look up templates for drawing fashion. It is okay if you can't draw. You can watch the film "Coco Before Chanel" on Amazon Prime Video.

When 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.

Do you like what you're wearing? If so, ignore them. Fashion is about expressing yourself, so as long as you're dressing the way YOU want to, nothing else really matters.

It'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.

First, 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.
