Do you have a look you love or a cut that perfectly suits you, but feel your outfits are too repetitive? Here’s how to honor your taste and repeat your favorites, but still develop your style and never look the same. Our example today is lovely style icon Keira Knightley’s code of dress, the halter neck. If she can make it work from y2k to the modern day, you can put it on repeat too, and look timeless instead of repetitive.
Keira Knightley’s elegant style personality is conveyed through the cut, classic color, and artistic modular design elements that set the foundation for the look while the sexy side is embracive with strong line to body interactions and mirrors the elegance through a geometric cut out to create the halter neck which draws the eye up through the turtleneck and back down to the silhouette.
The elegant style personality is retained again through a repeated code of dress, the halter neck, but this time is combined with the feminine style personality. Elegance shines through the fabrics and garment structure, yet the feminine style personality is present through the floral lace detailing, delicate stapes, and bow adornment to create a focal point at the face- drawing the eye up.
The modular designs mirror her bone structure for a unified look that accentuates the body lines while elevating her natural beauty rather than fighting her aesthetic harmony. The stark lines showcase skin strategically and the turtleneck adds a pop of unexpected coverage for a higher degree of visual weight at the face for a more interesting outfit.
She continues to refine her style while staying true to her dress code, which includes a halter neck. In doing so, we pay homage to the proportions that flatter her figure while simultaneously enabling the incorporation of essences to produce aesthetically distinct yet just as effective styling that doesn’t look too repetitive.
*Detailing and deciding on which features you wish to showcase will aid in meeting your aesthetic goals.
