Modeling - Styling is a multiple option

Welcome again to some random discussion about modeling. This time I would like to pick some points of styling possibilities.
And I will do this with an example.
I found a red dress in my inventory. It's an old group gift from AZUL. I thought it would be a great example because it's something very basic and simple (just a tube dress) but pretty complicated itself (a red velvet precious texture).
And I imagined it could be styled for some formal event (or for a runway) or it can be styled for dayly (or blogging) use. You may see details of the two outfits in my last posts.
Styled 199
Styled 198

    Casual and a bit aggressive. Close to a glamour rockstar look. Boots with laces and a jacket give to the outfit a casual look that can be wellcomed everywhere.
No worries if you are just walking around, shopping, visiting friends, dancing in a disco...

This look is nice, but not too sophisticated.

Classy and elegant. For a special event or a ceremony. Would work also if you are supposed to present this dress in a runway show. High heels, not too much contrast, let the dress talk itself and shine in its beauty. Fine jewelry is a must, but not exagerate.

As you noticed, I used the same hair, skin and nails for both outfits. Of course, for a private use you can use any kind of skin you like to, and in the case of a runway you might use an even lighter skin tone. And in the second outfit I would personally have used some extravagant hair or an updo.

The point I wanted to show this time is that by adding a couple of things you can make something look completely different. This dress is simple, but it isn't that casual. But in my first look I made it look very casual, even if any god eye would recognize it's a very fine texture.

Another very important thing to notice is that there are some items that are absolutely must have for any aspiring model.

The skin, for example, thus it's not that light as it should be requested by most outfits, works good in both casual and elegant outfits, so one of the first steps of an aspiring model is to check his inventory and find the right skintone. If you don't have any yet, just drop by any skin store (well, there will be some recommendation about skins, soon I'll make a post) and and get a basic one, without make up. I am wearing a GLAM AFFAIR in natural tone, no make up.

A quick suggestion: take a look wich ones are the skin brands I am using the most. Probably those are good ones for models ;)

A note about the hair. I could have worn lot of different hairstyle but as you can see some very simple and basical hairstyles work good in most of the cases.

If you get a couple of nice updos you will have good chances to be ready to style any outfit.

The hairstyle I am wearing is perfect if you have to wear a hat, a head accessory and so on.

The nails are simple french nails. Works with everything and add perfection to your avatar. Gloves nailpolish and nude nails from the skin are definitely a no-go for a model.

Hope you enjoyed!
