What should you pay attention to when shopping?
"First and foremost, you should ask yourself: what color, what cut and what pattern suit me? Does the new item of clothing go with at least one or two pieces from my closet? If not, then I would rather buy a set or maybe a dress. Then you have it already the complete outfit."
color, but how?
"I find colors really exciting! It doesn't matter whether you're wearing a simple outfit, it looks completely different when it's colorful. I think many people are afraid of combining colors. But you should just have fun with it and try things out. Or, if you want to be on the safe side, just wear a monochrome outfit. It looks great and you can't go wrong. Another option would be to just wear a pop of color - say a colorful bag or colorful shoes. You can make even a 'boring' outfit exciting."
What's the best way to spice up outfits?
"I love combining my basic pieces with accessories. Handbags, shoes and jewelry can turn any simple outfit into a cool fashion highlight. Personally, I always say: More is more - I like to wear a lot of accessories. My current favorite pieces are very different hats or headscarves."
What is a boring outfit?
"Nothing is boring as long as you wear the outfit with attitude!"
How to style a jeans and white t-shirt outfit to make it less basic?
"As already mentioned, accessories can spice up any outfit. For example, I would combine colorful heels, statement earrings and a hat. It makes you look much cooler!"
What belongs in every wardrobe?
"Basic pieces like t-shirts and well-fitting jeans, one or two pants suits, one or two sets, a hat, jewellery, at least one vintage piece and last but not least a statement piece!"
What would you rather keep your hands off?
"Of parts that crumple easily. That quickly looks unkempt!"
Irina's tips show: What always looks totally time-consuming and difficult on Instagram is actually feasible. The focus on cool accessories, bags and shoes - this is how you can give a simple outfit the necessary twist. Also, have the courage to use patterns and colors!
