The Seven Elements of Style through the eyes of Roman Street-Style

Which are the Seven Elements of Style? Here you will find a list that will help you put together looks, while considering each and every piece of the puzzle that makes up your own unique style. Let's see what women wear in the streets of Rome, and how each are showing thie elements through their choices. Let's start with the number one element:

1 - Spirit and Values

Your Spirit and Values are the number one and most important factor in your Style.

It is evident this lady is a business woman that values business, image, tradition, and elegance, and chooses her clothing accordingly.


2 - Shape and Fit

The shape of your body, the shape of the clothes you choose to wear, and how they fit in your body, are the second most important element in your style.



3 - Fabrics

What fabrics do you choose to wear, why? e.g: Languid, flowing, draping fabrics, or hard structured woven textiles.



4 - Colors

I have talked extensively about color choices, your personal colors, and what colors mean. Colors can either make or break a whole style concept.



5 - Pattern

Which patterns do you choose to wear? You don't even wear patterns or prints? All this determines a fundamental element of Style.


6 - Accessories

How many? Which ones? Love to wear expensive jewels? Only gold? Silver? Just plain bijoux accessories? Where do you buy them? How many do you wear? Do you combine many? Wear just one statement piece? Do you have a signature item you always wear? 


7 - Hair and Make Up

Do you do blow dry your hair, wear it straight, curly; go to the salon often? Never go to the salon? Dye it? Leave it gray? Wear it up? Wear it down? Love it long? Wear it short? All this closes a whole Style, at the focal central point which is you face.
