What will you learn?

Fashion and Personal Styling

Begin with styling and its specialisms. Explore skin undertones and colour relationships, then use the colour wheel to coordinate an outfit.

Learn to take measurements and compare common body-shape descriptions. Work with wardrobe essentials, fashion terminology and ways to balance visual proportions.

The later lessons cover bags, face shapes, accessories, glasses and general styling considerations. These are creative styling suggestions rather than rules about how a body should look.

Learning outcomes

  • Explore undertones and colour coordination
  • Take measurements and compare proportions
  • Build outfits from essential pieces
  • Develop an outfit from simple to polished
  • Choose bags, glasses and accessories thoughtfully
