Classics• A classic style is something that has been in
style for several years and will remain in style.
• Classic styles are generally well
made and have simple, straight lines.

So How Should you Balance your Wardrobe?
• Your wardrobe should be composed of some mix and match classic styles.
• However, you should always include some styles that are the latest fad to keep your wardrobe up to date.
So How Do I Know What to Wear When I Go Different
Places?• Consider these factors:
• If the occasion is casual, remember that casual does not mean sloppy!
1. Weather2. What you will be doing3. The amount of time you will be there
So How Do I Know What to Wear to Different Places?
• Remember that because Florida has such a warm climate, casual dressing is more accepted here than in other places.
• When dressing formally, look for clothes with dressier fabrics and styles.
• Make sure that your accessories match your outfit and the occasion.
Looking at Line Types• There are two ways lines can be created:
Structure or construction of garmentsDesign of fabric
• The lines in the design of the fabric is another important way for lines to be created.
• Structural lines are created through the construction of the garments (ie: seams & pockets).
