11 things to know to become a fashion pro
Keeping up with fashion, following the trends (and not missing them), buying the right clothes (and not the ones you'll only put on three times)... Here are 11 ideas that will make you become a fashion pro. fashion, without you even realizing it. Or almost.
#1 Sign up for the right newsletters
Many brands give good ideas for looks and constantly highlight their novelties. Some even illustrate them with fashion series shot by themselves or street style silhouettes. The way to wear them is therefore served to us on a platter (so to speak). www.shoescribe.com www.asos.com www.pixiemarket.com www.netaporter.com
#2 Take a look at the sites where you can buy cheaper fashion
In addition to all the sites of vacuum-dressing and vintage of quality which flourish on the Web, one also subscribes to all the sites of outlet which make it possible to acquire at a lower cost clothes often almost new still completely in trend.

#3 Consult the “WWD” from time to time
A true fashion bible, the "WWD" (Women's Wear Daily) is responsible for many of the scoops when it comes to fashion. If an art director leaves the house they work for, chances are it's on the "WWD" first. A good way to follow the news and not make a mistake when you hear about Nicolas Ghesquière at Vuitton. Yes, we know from the start that Marc Jacobs is no longer their artistic director.Twitter: @womensweardaily
#4 Buy fashion magazines
Some fashion magazines are almost books, they are so beautiful. Available in good bookstores, we buy them from time to time, like the latest “Porter” (bimonthly magazine from Net-a-Porter.com). The subjects treated and the photos can inspire us and bathe us in a beautiful aesthetic atmosphere that will forge our eye as we go along.
#5 Follow models and designers on Instagram
An ultra-accessible network because it is open to everyone, Instagram has created a bridge between the private lives of stars and normal people (us). We subscribe to the accounts of some prominent personalities, which allows us to know their news, sometimes their personal lives, and to follow their career, because they often talk about it too. 20 fashion accounts to follow on Instagram

#6 Empty your cupboards regularly
To make room in our closet for our latest purchases, we regularly put up for sale on Le Bon Coin clothes that we no longer wear. As we are not the only ones, we can even take the opportunity to buy a timeless piece such as a trench coat, black blazer jacket or beautiful pumps. They are invariably in fashion every season. How to sort out your closet?

#7 Digging around in her mother's closet
It also works with her grandmother's/old aunt's closet. We will find treasures there, we all know that fashion is an eternal renewal, so there will inevitably be a time when what we find there will be in vogue again. Another option is to know the good sites and vintage stores to buy unique pieces that cannot be found anywhere else.

#8 Shopping
No, this is not an incentive to consume, but what happens in stores necessarily reflects the spirit of the times, and global fashion desires. Stroll through the department stores, try things on, even if you're sure it's not for you (within reason, let's agree). It is by trying that we learn. And it also works abroad!

#9 Knowing how to surround yourself
You necessarily have around you a reference friend who will tell you if this or that fashion bias is a monumental failure or a successful attempt. It's the same girlfriend who will have a tasteful outfit to lend you the day before your best friend's wedding when you haven't found anything yet.
#10 Follow fashion shows and trends on ELLE.fr
Several times a year, it's Fashion Week. At ELLE.fr, we decipher the most beautiful collections from New York, London, Milan and Paris for you. We identify the best, we draw inspiration from the street with street styles, and we offer many fashion tips to tackle the craziest trends with confidence. See, who said being fashionable was complicated?Twitter: @ELLEfashion
#11 Have the right apps
If we no longer leave our homes without our laptop, it's because this tool has become an essential part of our daily lives. So you might as well make it profitable by downloading the right applications. From “Pages Mode”, which lists all the shops in France and works like Google Maps by indicating the nearest stores, to “My Little App”, launched by Asos and which sends surprises to our Smartphone every day (invitation to private sales, tutorials or DIY), via “Where to Get” the fashion equivalent of Shazam, it's a “fashion application” that we will need! www.wheretoget.it http://www .pagesmode.com/http://www.mylittleapp.fr/
