Pro tip: you just need few general shades like brown, black, and white, in modes of bottoms and jackets, then you can use them with fancy colors tees, tops,and shirts,  to add fashion touches . Like you can have black jeans, white baggy pants, and a pair of brown bell bottoms. You can contrast them with different color tees and tops creating a beautiful look.

Generally more than 3 colors are only selected when you have to be part of fancy dress competition type of thing. Otherwise it is wise able to select only three different colors to your dress.

2) 3 dressing Rule

This rule says that our dress consist of only 3 things, top, bottom, and some accessories to complete the look. So this rule is more a common sense. 

Remember that coats, jackets and cardigans are also the accessories if they are not the matching colors of your dress . In other words there are dresses that have cardigan that are embroidered and below it is the top of plain color. Such cardigan, coats, and jackets are part of dress and are categorized in top.

So like the first rule you should have ,some general color bottoms. Here is list from which you can decide to have bottoms for the whole year:

Dark blue narrow jeans

Light blue mommy jeans

Dark grey ripped jeans

Brown baggy jeans 

White baggy jeans 

Black jeans

Then you can have some general wear jackets like, a sleek black leather, or velvet jacket, red jacket, asymmetrical mid length coat, and faux fur camouflage jacket, and a fux fur formal brown color coat or jacket.

You can use them through out the year. Use some light fabrics for summer and keep fux fur and velvets for winters. Then all you need to buy simple tops, and shirts every year. If these general items are washed and used properly they can go for few years.

3) Body Shape 

We all know that the biggest fashion disaster happens when we wear something that doesn't go good with our body shape. It is really important to dress up while considering our body shape. Following are the types of body shapes,

Pear/ triangle shape

Bottle shape

Apple shape

Cylinder/ rectangular shape

So, first you need to see what is your body shape then you should select the dress accordingly. 

If your body shape is Pear or triangle shaped then you should look for dresses with open size bottoms like pleated frocks, umbrella cut dresses, loose jumper suits.

If you are apple shaped then you need to look for loose fitted dress, or dresses like cowl neck top or gown. Or something like turtle neck top or dress. 

If your are bottle shaped then you can look for belt dresses like gowns with belt, crop tops, body fitted tees. You can also wear both apple, and pear shaped dresses too according to your size. All you need is something that fits your middle, abdomen part to show your body shape.

If you are cylinder shape, then you can wear all general sizes and all those dresses which are body fitted and those which are pleaded from waist. 

4) Accessories Rule

Well the rule is very common, less is more. The more you load your self with jewelry the more insane you look. There are specific styles for extra accessories on specific occasions. But generally less is more rule applies.

One wrist watch is enough in your wrist for formal looks, and a bracelet in the other wrist for casual look. One ring in one hand is best, but one other in the other is also acceptable..but too many rings are just a specific style and cannot be everyday fashion. Same way just one necklace, either beaded, choker, or pendant, according to your dress. But not more than one. If the jewelry piece itself have more chains and goes good with your dress like deep neck dresses then it is acceptable. 

Here also you can use some general style accessories like you can have golden jewelry, silver jewelry, rose gold jewelry and then you can have red and black accessories like hand bands, ring bands, studs, stud earrings for funky, street style looks. Rest of the colors will go good with formal, casual, everyday, and family events.

5) Makeup Rules.

Countries in subcontinent have the trends of heavy makeup even in normal days. In the other hand west countries like little makeup that sometimes doesn't even feel like you are wearing it. 

Pro tip:  To know the rule, it is, light makeup in the morning and bit heavier or detailed makeup at night.

 In the morning sunlight makes our face more visible, and too much makeup will reveal all the cracks and the artificial cover on your face created by makeup. You should do some light eyes makeup, light pink or nude shades of lipstick, or deep red shades of lipstick with light tone makeup with minimum blushes, and highlighters.

However at night this light issue is resolved and you can go for heavy makeup looks like dark smokey eyes, or glitter eyes, heavy lipstick color like shades of red, and prominent blushes, plus full contouring and highlights.

You don't have to exaggerate too much of beauty products. The original you is the real charm. Believe in your natural beauty and keep up the natural skin tone.

Pro tip:  try to keep you skin even tone, by eating and applying fruits. Use fresh water to clean your face instead of cleansers, and just apply mud mask for open pores. The lesser chemicals you use the lesser sensitive skin you will have. 

Nature comes with no side effects. However man made things always have side effects of not near then in future. So be wise and be natural, you are beautiful by birth believe me.
