How to Recreate a Celebrity or Character’s Outfits in Real Life (5 Must-Know Tips)
Tip #3 – The color scheme is your best friend.
Let’s say you’re recreating a celebrity or character outfit, and you don’t have the *exact* item you need. It might not be in the same cut or it might have a different pattern. But… it has the right shade of blue or pink or yellow.
Always use that item of clothing. If you nail the color scheme, the outfit will look strikingly similar, even if the item isn’t exactly right.
It goes without saying that the placement of the colors has to be the same: if the blue is in the bottoms, you have to use blue for your bottoms, if the coat is pink, wear it in your coat, etc.
Patterns are a bit tricky here. Finding the exact same pattern in the exact same colors can be next to impossible if you don’t have *the* item. So, what I do when I’m faced with this situation is to prioritize the color scheme over the pattern.
Most of the time, changing the pattern isn’t as big a deal as changing the palette you’re working with. If you change the color, it can throw every other item out of whack. So keep to your color scheme and you’ll be golden.
Tip #4 – Try to find the right accessories.
As every fashion girl knows, accessorizing can change an outfit. And accessorizing *right* can elevate an outfit.
Accessories are a big part of a recreation, so focus on getting them right, even if you don’t have the exact clothes. As opposed to clothes, with accessories it’s easier to get your hands on a dupe or item that you will wear again.
Also, be sure to keep the color scheme tip in mind: if the purse is black, go for a black purse, if the hat is brown, try to find one that is brown, etc.
When I talk about accessories, I’m not only talking about sunglasses, purses and hats, I’m also talking about hair and makeup. If it is possible for you, try to wear your hair similarly or use a lipstick that matches the one used in your inspiration look.
