The Classic
Woman

The woman with a Classic fashion personality prefers a look that is refined which is reflected in her simple and elegant clothes. She's fashionable but never faddish or severe. The Classic woman is the epitome of tailored elegance but sometimes she can look too safe and too controlled. She may want to loosen up her look with a few unexpected fashion touches.

SOME OF CLASSIC'S SPECIFIC PREFERENCES

• Plain fabrics, soft florals, impressionaistic watercolor prints, houndstooth and herringbone weaves, muted glen plaids.
• Medium to lightweight fabrics like fine wool silk, jersey, cashmere, suede and gabardine.
• Matte-finish fabrics are preferred to those with high luster for evening wear.
• Expensive looking jewelry styles, even if they are costume.
• Tailored shoulder bags, satchels and envelope styles.
• Low-to-medium heeled pumps, spectators and slingbacks.
• Elegant leather or skin belts with simple buckles.
• Fine textured hosiery in sheer colors.
• Soft, sleek hairstyles.

Make-up for the Classic woman is one of perfect balance: eyes, cheeks and lips in medium intensity colors. She avoids looking "overdone" but this can lead to a look that is too safe and conservative. She'll want to experiment with brighter and more intense make-up colors for a classic style that's all her own.
