Looking Youthful with Universal Style

How do you stay true to your own personal style but still look modern and youthful?

Just introduce a little more sportiness into your wardrobe.

What are we talking about…At this year’s AICI conference (Association of Image Consutlants International) we got the chance to hear Alyce Parson, founder of the Universal Style System speak about this.

A bit of background about her system. Alyce says you can’t know your style unless you know yourself. So she quizzes her clients on preferred colors, fabrics, fits, hairstyles as well as their goals and message they want to deliver. The answers you give determine what style is really you. You can be

  • Feminine: Soft and Romantic-Jayne Seymour, Princess Diana
  • Elegant: Refined and Stately-Diane Sawyer, Jacqueline Smith
  • Classic: Conservative and Businesslike-Hillary Clinton, Jane Pauley
  • Dramatic: Fashionable and Sophisticated- Diana Ross, Iman
  • Creative: Original and Artistic-Sarah Jessic Parker, Madonna
  • Sporty:Friendly and Casual -Jane Fonda, Christie Brinkley
  • Alluring: Sexy and Glamorous-Sharon Stone, Demi Moore

Most people are a combo or 2 or three styles. For example with us, I (Deborah) am Elegant and Dramatic and JoJami is Alluring-Elegant.

Some styles naturally lend themselves to a more youthful look and some don’t.  ie: Elegant and classic can look old sometimes as we age, so to make these styles more youthful, add a dash of sporty. Turn up that collar, push up those sleeves. Take that perfect elegant look or that serious business style and make it a tad more relaxed and friendlier.

Apparently, adding a touch of femininity is another way to keep you looking youthful. You don’t have to run out and buy a wardrobe of frills but Alyce says that femine touches like soft colors, pinks and peaches to compliment your skin can give you a lovely soft glow.

Alyce herself is a gorgeous Elegant-Alluring. We snapped a photo of her for you because at 60+ she has fabulous style and looks absolutely Age-mazing™!
