Modern fashion is very diverse and consists of a huge number of styles. This allows each girl to find the clothes that will favorably emphasize the features of her appearance and reflect individual preferences. In this article, we will look at the most popular styles to make it easier for you to navigate the fashion trends and find something worthwhile for yourself.
How to find your feminine image
Not everyone knows what style is, or rather, how it differs from fashion. Style is a certain combination of things that look harmonious with each other. Today, there are a huge number of different styles, so how to choose the most suitable outfit for yourself becomes very important issue for girls.
It is quite difficult to give advice on finding your own style, because it should reflect exactly your preferences and emphasize individuality. If you don't know how to choose a style to look more attractive, ask yourself the question "what suits me?". After all, a girl’s wardrobe should be not only fashionable, but also versatile. If you can say “my style” about some fashion trend, then try to really dress in such things.
In this search for yourself, you should pay attention to such basics as your age, social status and body type. There are things that are sewn specifically for obese people or for older women. Things should fit the characteristics of your lifestyle and be appropriate in all situations. So, for example, a winter knitted sweater would be completely out of place in a summer bow, and clothes would be too large sizes- at some official event.
Although style is a very individual concept, some girls like to buy the same type of things for the whole family. Family clothes, made in the same style, really shows unity and allows you to look harmoniously together. So, when gathering with your soulmate for some kind of celebration, you can choose suits for a couple that will complement each other.
What are the types of styles
But today we will talk not about family style, but about what styles of clothing are suitable for girls and are relevant this season. The list includes basic styles that will allow any woman to create a basic wardrobe that suits her.
new look
Let's start talking about what styles are, with one of the most feminine. The New Look style was founded by Christian Dior in the middle of the last century. The post-war situation forced most girls to dress in the most simple things. And in order to bring femininity back into fashion, Dior introduced the New Look trend. The main differences by which this style can be recognized are fitted dresses and puffy skirts.
Shabby Chic
Another feminine and elegant style is “shabby chic”. He appeared at the suggestion of Rachel Asheville, an American celebrity. This style is in many ways reminiscent of vintage due to the fact that it is based on things either bought in antique shops or artificially aged. Dresses, skirts and suits in this style look as feminine as possible, but at the same time, slightly careless.
Art Deco
Art Deco came to us from the middle of the last century. This is a combination of dresses with a simple loose fit with various bright accessories. In this style, flirty hats with feathers, long glass beads and handbags decorated with sequins or beads are very common.
Feminine
Separately, it is worth highlighting the feminine style. As the name suggests, it aims to maximize feminine beauty. Its characteristics are things with a fitted silhouette and an emphasis on a thin waist and bust. Many things in this style complement the "girlish" patterns - polka dots, heart prints or floral patterns. Also, feminine outfits are often complemented with all sorts of bows, ruffles and appliqués in the form of hearts.
Patchwork
The patchwork style looks original in clothes. The same word is called the technique itself, in which such outfits are created. When sewing such dresses, skirts or shirts, separate colored patches of fabric are used. Thus, the outfit looks very bright and unusual.
Eclecticism
The concept of eclecticism includes a mixture of several styles at once. But at the same time, the resulting eclectic image should be harmonious, and not ridiculous. The easiest way to create a similar bow is to use a mixture of different textures or complement the look in the same style with a contrasting accessory.
Fusion
The Fusion style also has similarities with the previous one. It is also quite unusual, because it combines different fashion trends. So, simple ripped jeans can be combined with a luxurious evening blouse, and it will look quite appropriate within this style.
The Fusion style originated in the 1990s when everyone wanted to stand out from the crowd with their unusual and often provocative looks.
rustic
Rustic style has come into fashion relatively recently. Initially, rustic outfits were worn by farmers who did not have other things. Many stylists refer to this country style to one of the retro branches.
Rustic folk style is recognizable by simple styles and colorful patterns. When sewing such clothes, deliberately coarse fabrics are used. Also, often a rustic-style outfit is complemented by a knitted sweater or cardigan. An alternative to a cardigan can be a colorful shawl or even a scarf draped over your shoulders.
fantasy
Fantasy outfits look very unusual. Such things are rarely used for everyday wear. Usually they are chosen by cosplayers or young fans of different fantasy worlds.
Girls for creating such bows are usually inspired by space and fantasy stories. Using seemingly simple things, you can briefly transform into an elf, demon or other character from your favorite story. Complementing such images are space makeup with an emphasis on the eyes, and a complex hairstyle.
Examples of fantasy-style clothing are luxurious Victorian-style dresses, complemented by a corset and a deep neckline, and high boots, and long capes. Very often in such fantasy images there are elements of Gothic.
Anime
The style, which is popular among fans of Japanese culture, deserves special attention. Anime-style outfits are either cosplay of some famous characters, or deliberately cute clothes that resemble the outfits of Japanese schoolgirls.
Bohemian
Bohemian style will help creative girls express their individuality. It is bright, extravagant and full of unexpected details. It is the details that make the creative style - it can be an unusual antique jewelry or a bright scarf that complements a plain bow.
Gypsy
Bright things can be found in the gypsy style. For most, it is associated with carnivals and recklessness. This style allows you to combine things in one bow that at first glance do not fit with each other at all.
To create such a look, use layered skirts, dresses with floral prints and bright accessories. Gypsy style has a lot in common with boho. These similarities relate to the color scheme and the combination of contrasting details in one bow.
Glamor
Many girls like the deliberately girly glamorous style. Initially, the glamor style was popular among celebrities who could afford to complement luxurious evening dresses with fur capes and natural jewelry.
Now the glamorous style is popular among girls who love the club lifestyle. It includes shiny dresses, short skirts and outfits decorated with rhinestones and other shiny details. Another offshoot of this style is the so-called glam-rock. From rocker outfits, such bows are distinguished by the presence of pink and shiny details, as well as fluffy skirts made of tulle or organza.
For pregnant
For girls preparing for motherhood, designers create the most comfortable outfits using natural fabrics. The so-called mother's style is distinguished by a free cut and calm colors.
Natural
Recently, in the wake of the popularity of a healthy lifestyle, the Soft Natural style has become popular. This style is based on maximum naturalness. Some bright fabrics and an abundance of decor are unacceptable here. Things in eco-style are as simple as possible - dresses and shirts of loose styles, made in pastel colors, are complemented with accessories in the form of flowers.
Dandy
Garson
Another style that girls adopted from men is the garcon. The most striking representative of this style is a baggy dress, complemented by a belt on the hips or waist. This style also includes loose shirts, reminiscent of men's and plain wide trousers.
Parisian chic
Absolutely different from the previous deliberately feminine French style. French women know how to dress with taste in any situation. They prefer the most simple cut and a combination of pastel colors. From shoes in the style of Parisian chic, elegant pumps with low heels can be noted.
Dramatic
If the French lady look is too boring for you, you can always try something a little more extravagant. Such outfits look as defiantly and even provocative as possible. In the drama, bright colors, an abundance of decorative elements and deep necklines are acceptable. This outrageous style helps to stand out from the crowd.
Western
Western style differs from rustic in increased practicality. Country-style bows had to be as comfortable and suitable as possible in order to complete the tasks assigned all day without any discomfort.
For tailoring things in Western style, natural fabrics are used: leather, denim, burlap and fine wool. Outfits are made in calm colors. Shades of colors such as gray, brown, blue and red are popular. Of the current prints, it is worth noting floral and geometric patterns. The most striking western style look is a combination of a plaid shirt with denim shorts and high cowboy boots.
underground
Young girls often choose an informal style for themselves. It allows you to go beyond the conventional fashion trends and boldly express yourself. Underground bows are distinguished by asymmetry, the use of bright colors and a combination of contrasting details.
Jazz
To date, the fashion of the twenties of the last century is also very popular. Jazz style bows are simple, but, at the same time, complemented by an abundance of decorative elements.
Characteristic elements of this style are dresses with a low waist with a deep cut on the back, fur capes and comfortable shoes with low heels. For tailoring such dresses, expensive fabrics are used - silk, satin, velvet. Decorate them with ruffles, fringe, beads.
Business
Business-style outfits are very popular among working girls. It is based on classic things and business suits. Of the characteristic details that distinguish the official business style, one can note the severity of the lines and the use of monochrome or pastel colors.
The formal style is quite conservative - dresses with short skirts or deep necklines are not allowed in it. Bright jewelry or provocative makeup will also be out of place here. This strict style allows you to feel as confident as possible in work situations.
Futuristic
At the beginning of the last century, such a phenomenon as futurism appeared in the world. Futuristic style gradually penetrated into fashion. It is characterized by rather unusual styles, asymmetry and combinations of bright colors.
baby dollar
Almost every girl in her childhood had a Barbie doll dressed up in cute dresses. For many, this image is associated with real femininity. This justifies the popularity of the baby-doll style.
In order to look like a favorite doll, girls choose pink fitted dresses, complemented by bows, ruffles and lace. Such outfits look cute and are mostly suitable for young girls, because at a more mature age they will be out of place.
Renaissance
Since fashion is cyclical, designers often return to some trends of the past. Renaissance outfits are now also a source of inspiration for many modern collections.
Things in the Renaissance style, made antique, allow you to emphasize the femininity of the figure. In such dresses, the emphasis is on a lush bust and feminine hips. To place the right accents, a corset is used, which, by tightening the waist, makes the chest uplifted and more magnificent.
trash
Lovers of extravagant outfits can also be impressed by trash-style clothes. Such outfits are a kind of challenge to society. Bright acid colors combine with each other in the strangest way, for example, a pink dress with a fluffy skirt can complement neon green sneakers and blue stockings. This style is popular among teenagers who are still searching for themselves and express this search with an extraordinary appearance.
European
European fashion is very different not only from Eastern, but also from domestic. European style is, first of all, a combination of extremely simple and practical things. And outerwear, and dresses, and casual jeans should be comfortable and suitable for your style.
Unlike Russian women, girls from Europe prefer comfortable shoes without heels and a minimum of makeup. Evening make-up and appropriate outfits are reserved for special occasions, when it is really appropriate.
grunge
The grunge style is in many ways reminiscent of the previously mentioned trash. It appeared at the end of the last century as a protest against the glamorous images that are everywhere on screens and on the pages of magazines. Things in this style are deliberately casually selected, and sometimes even torn or simply worn.
Swag
Incompatible things in one look are also combined by lovers of the swag style. At the heart of his ideology is a combination of demonstratively expensive things. Clothing in this style should be branded, and accessories should be massive and eye-catching. One of the most popular details that is familiar to almost everyone is a massive gold chain with a pendant.
Burlesque
Flashy and complex bows are also characteristic of the burlesque style. Previously, such outfits were typical for itinerant artists and were used for theatrical productions. Burlesque scenes riveted the audience's attention to the girls in bright and rather revealing outfits. To create a burlesque outfit, you need to be able to combine bright things and catchy makeup, while not looking too approachable.
Scandinavian
Connoisseurs of simplicity and elegance will suit the Scandinavian style. The creations of designers from the Nordic countries are distinguished by conciseness and restraint. Norwegian style excludes an abundance of patterns and small details. It is based on classic monochromatic things, mostly in pastel colors.
Nautical
For summer holidays many girls choose a marine style. It traces the mood corresponding to the warm summer weather. The most characteristic colors for this style are blue, white, turquoise and blue. Also, things in this style are often decorated with prints with anchors or starfish.
noir
If your wardrobe is dominated by black, pay attention to the noir style. It is typical for films of the middle of the last century. The classic noir look is a combination of a closed black dress with make-up, as if from the 40s and 50s.
Dresses in this style are distinguished by an extremely simple clear cut. A black outfit without unnecessary decorative elements is the basis of an ideal female image. The only acceptable accessory is a thin string of pearls.
color blocking
Elegant and attractive can look not only images made in basic monochrome colors. Since the end of the last century, the so-called color blocking has come into fashion. This is a style in which things in contrasting colors are combined in a geometric order. In addition, each detail should be monophonic and devoid of any prints and applications.

The traditional classification is in which authoritarian, democratic, liberal and anarchist leadership styles.
To carry out such a classification, it is necessary to highlight those aspects that are important for its implementation:
· development of a management decision.

Classification of styles in the GRID system.
Leadership style - a set of methods, techniques and actions that are most characteristic of a leader in his relations with subordinates, the most familiar manner of communicating with them.
GRID system is a two-dimensional classification in which leadership styles are evaluated on a 9-point scale for 2 indicators: concern for production and concern for personnel.
Within this classification, the following main leadership styles are distinguished:
· 1.1 - poverty management. The manager has minimal interest in production and subordinates, takes the position of an outside observer, does not show initiative and does not expect this from subordinates, is active only when a threat arises.
· 9, 1 - the power of the leader. high requirements for production activities and a low level of care for the staff. The leader is strict, demanding, makes individual decisions, and is sensitive to criticism.
· 1, 9 - organization like a country club. Minimal interest in production, maximum concern for personnel. Emphasis is placed on maintaining friendly relationships. The leader is attentive, pleasant in communication, easily finds support among subordinates, but not always from the side of management
· 5, 5 - the golden mean. equal concern for production and people. The leader is guided either by generally accepted opinions or by the opinion of the management, shows only approved initiative. Easily combines praise and criticism.
· 9, 9 - team work. Maximum concern for production and people. The leader seeks to interest employees in achieving goals, encourages their participation in the affairs of the organization. Self-confident and willing to innovate.
Additionally The following leadership styles are distinguished in the GRID system:
· Paternalism - creating a sense of a single family. The leader is the father of the family, who must be respected and impossible to disobey.
Opportunism - the primary task of the leader - to strengthen his own position and influence, using all methods available to him
Fasadism - the desire of the leader to have power and use others is masked by a demonstrative desire to be one of his own among his subordinates.
Fiedler's situational model
The main idea of the situational approach to leadership was the assumption that leadership behavior should be different in different situations. One of the founders of the theory of situational leadership is F. Fiedler, who focused on the situation and identified three factors influencing the behavior of a leader. An 8-point scale was used to build a profile of the least preferred employee (colleague) (LPR).
High-scoring leaders, i.e., those who describe their CPD very positively, are relationship oriented (high CPD leader), while lower-scoring leaders have a work-oriented style (low CPD leader).
Situational Variables:
Relationships in the team
structured work;
power powers.
Relationships in the team(relationship "leader-follower"): good-bad. This variable reflects the level of loyalty, trust, support and respect, i.e. recognition of the leader by the followers.
Structured work: high-low. This variable reflects the level of structuredness of the tasks solved by the group (measured by the following indicators: clarity of purpose; multiplicity of means to achieve goals; validity of decisions; specificity of decisions.). Highly structured work gives the leader the opportunity to have greater control over the performers.
Authority(official power): strong-weak. Reflects the level of formal power of the leader.
Efficiency is achieved if
in the least favorable situation, leaders demonstrate a work-oriented style (low NPR style); in a moderately favorable situation, a relationship-oriented style (high NPR style). in the most favorable situation - a work-oriented style (a style with low NPR).
The practical significance of the model consists in the fact that it allows, depending on the situation, to select a leader. At the same time, the main selection criterion is the correspondence of the leader's style to a specific situation.
Life cycle theory
Paul Hersey and Ken Blanchard developed a situational leadership theory called life cycle theory, according to which the most effective leadership styles depend on the "maturity" of the performers. Maturity implies the ability to take responsibility for one's behavior, the desire to achieve the set goal, as well as education and experience in relation to the specific task to be performed. According to Hersey and Blachepart, the concept of maturity is not a permanent quality of an individual or group, but rather a characteristic of a particular situation. In other words, depending on the task being performed, individuals and groups show different levels of "maturity". Accordingly, the leader can change his behavior depending on the relative maturity of the person or group.
As shown in the figure, there are four leadership styles that correspond to a specific level of maturity of performers: give instructions, "sell", participate, delegate.
The first style, S1 (instructing), requires the leader to combine a high degree of task orientation with a low degree of human relations. This style is suitable for subordinates with a low level of maturity (Ml). Here, this style is quite appropriate because subordinates are either unwilling or unable to take responsibility for a particular task, and they require appropriate instructions, guidance and strict control.
Rice. Situational leadership model of Hersey and Blanchard,
The second style S2 (“selling”) implies that the style of the leader is equally and highly task-oriented and relationship-oriented. In this situation, subordinates want to take responsibility, but cannot, as they have an average level of maturity (M2). Thus, the leader chooses task-oriented behavior to give specific instructions to subordinates, but at the same time, the leader supports their desire and enthusiasm to carry out the task under their own responsibility.
The third style S3 is characterized by a moderately high degree of maturity (MS). In this situation, subordinates may, but do not want to, be held accountable for completing the task. For a leader who combines a low degree of task orientation and a high degree of human relations, the most appropriate style will be based on the participation of subordinates in decision-making. Managers can increase the motivation and involvement of their subordinates by giving them the opportunity to participate in decision-making, as well as providing them with assistance and without imposing any instructions. In essence, the leader and subordinates make decisions together, and this contributes to their greater participation and ownership.
The fourth style S4 is characterized by a high degree of maturity (M4). In this situation, subordinates both can and want to be held accountable. Delegation style is most suitable here, and the behavior of the leader can combine a low degree of task orientation and human relations. This style is appropriate in situations with mature performers. As a result, the leader allows subordinates to act on their own: they do not need any support or instructions, since they are able to do all this themselves in relation to each other.
Like other situational models, Hersey and Blanchard's life cycle model recommends a flexible, adaptive leadership style. But like other leadership models, it has not received universal acceptance. Criticism has emphasized the lack of a consistent method for measuring maturity levels; a simplistic division of styles; and an ambiguity as to whether leaders can, in practice, behave with the degree of flexibility required by the model.
According to the criterion of participation of employees in management, the following styles are distinguished.
Dictatorial style: employees are forced to follow strict one-man orders under the threat of sanctions;
Autocratic style: the manager has an extensive apparatus at his disposal;
Benevolent (supportive) style: the authority of the manager is based on his personal positive qualities in which employees are confident.
Democratic (cooperative, solidary, collegial or complicit) style as a typical form includes various options:
Communication style: employees can express their opinions, but must ultimately follow orders;
Consultative style: the manager makes decisions based on Detailed information and after its joint discussion, employees implement the decisions in the development of which they participated, they were consulted;
Collaborative management style: the manager sets the problem and limits, the employees themselves decide on further actions, the manager reserves the right to veto;
Autonomous style: employees decide for themselves, they are not limited by the framework, control and responsibility remain with the manager.
Management can be carried out in various forms. Violence, coercion, order correspond to the authoritarian style. It is associated with the hierarchical division of the control system and the pyramidal forms of its construction. Such an objective prerequisite for the authoritarian style does not exclude a change in its strength depending on the position of the leader's personality and his role as the leader of the organization. In this case, there are different kinds styles.
Management through influence and reliance on employees determines the democratic style. When employees are left to their own devices, management is marked by a liberal style. Forms of management have not developed specifically for use in industry or other industries. They arose as a result of social situations that developed at different times.
When classifying styles according to the criterion of managerial functions, only the predominance of one of the management functions is taken into account, situational and other factors remain unaccounted for. With this classification, the concept of style is closely related to the concept of management.
Management through innovation. This leadership style emphasizes an orientation towards innovation as the main vector of managerial decisions (innovation management).
Management through motivation. Managers proceed from the fact that not only material incentives have a positive effect on the employee's work efficiency, but also the need for self-expression.
Management through coordination. At the heart of this style is the reduction of conflict by coordinating personal areas of activity. The manager trusts employees to make decisions related to the tasks they perform. The intervention of the manager occurs only in exceptional situations, for example, if an employee deviates from the fixed acceptable limits.
Management through task transfer. With this style, the delegation of authority and business responsibility associated with tasks is in the foreground, the motivation of employees increases, and the manager's workload decreases.
Management through a systematic approach. This style emphasizes the cybernetic control cycle, rational discipline and systematization of the control process.
In management practice, a one-factor method of analyzing styles is used according to the priority severity of one management function.
