A “natural” style means wearing clothes and colors that are harmonious with your authentic features instead of competing with them. For example, if you are light in coloring (ie, light hair, light eyes, and light skin), wear light colors instead of bright or high-contrast colors. If you are older and starting to get wrinkles, wear clothing with texture (eg, tweed, herringbone) to mimic the texture of your skin. Also, natural beauty means wearing minimal makeup or the appearance of minimal makeup.

Your youth is a time to start learning “who you are,” and your clothing should reflect that. You will look prettiest when you feel prettiest. Worry less about what everyone else is wearing and more about what makes you feel uniquely “you."
