If you're in a creative profession, you probably already dress appropriately for the job. All creative people dress differently, but there are a number of criteria to consider when choosing clothes that will allow you to wear the right colors, express yourself in your clothes, and stand out from others in work situations. At the same time, if you prefer the stereotypical image of the artist, it can also be reproduced with a minimum of effort.

Steps

Method 1 of 4: Dressing Practically

1. 1 Choose clothes that are comfortable for work. If you are in a creative profession, you probably spend a lot of time at work. It doesn't matter if you work at the easel or at the computer - always try to dress as comfortably as possible.
   • If you are working with dirty materials, do not wear overly baggy clothes, especially those with long sleeves. Even if you're not afraid to get dirty, too loose clothing can grease your work.
2. 2 Protect your clothing. If you are working with materials that can stain (such as ink or paint), you should consider how to protect your clothing. Put on an apron or work gown. The dressing gown or apron should be made of a dense material so that the dye cannot penetrate it through.
3. 3 Work in clothes you don't mind ruining. Even if you are careful and use an apron, paint can still get on your clothes. Try to rub off the stain right away - this usually works, but some stains may not come off. Don't wear your favorite pants if you plan to work in a studio.
4. 4 Wear the things you already have. If you are an aspiring artist, you probably have no extra money to spare. Don't save up for designer jeans that you can't afford, and learn to dress stylishly for little money.
   • Keep track of the state of things. The longer you wear it, the more money you can save.
   • Jeans with a tank top may seem like a boring pairing, but you can choose to match your style to make it stand out from the crowd. Wear your own T-shirt or any other unique piece. Choose jeans in non-classic colors.
   • The easiest way to diversify your wardrobe is to combine different things to achieve an interesting look. Even if you wear a jacket from one suit with trousers from another, you will already have a fresh new combination.
5. 5 Buy used clothing. Second-hand shops can save you money on clothing. There you can buy not only basic and simple things, but also unusual and rare clothes at an affordable price. Look for weird and quirky things that match your personality and help you stand out from the crowd.
   • These stores usually have both modern and retro styles that can be easily combined.
   • Many second-hand shops have showcases where the best items, including jewelry, are usually placed. These items will cost more than the rest of the items in the store, but cheaper than similar new items. In these stores you can find very interesting wardrobe items and jewelry.
6. 6 Don't overpay for the stamp. A well-known brand often means good quality, but in most cases you have to pay extra for the brand. If you are an artist, you shouldn't spend money on it. Besides, will you look original if you are dressed like everyone else?
   • However, it is important to find out which brands have the quality of the clothes. in fact good. These things cost a little more, but they last longer.Look for these brands when you search for items in second-hand stores and websites that sell used items.
7. 7 Dress the way you want. To look like an artist, first of all, you should wear what you like. to you... Perhaps you prefer bright and bold things that grab attention. Perhaps you like simplicity and monochrome. Maybe you are ready to alternate styles within one week. The choice is yours.

Method 2 of 4: How to Customize Your Clothing

1. 1 Sew your own clothes. You don't have to be a designer to sew clothes. If you work with patterns, the process does not require much effort from you. Buy fabric with bright and unusual patterns, which cannot be found in regular stores. When you get your hand filled, try sewing without a pattern.
2. 2 Transfer your design to your shirt with screen printing. Tired of hackneyed designs on T-shirts? Make your own drawing that no one else has and transfer it to your shirt.
   • If you have your own business or studio, put your name and logo on the shirt. If the shirt is visually interesting, you can use it to attract new customers.
3. 3 Create unique accessories. Sew original buttons or crystals to your clothes. Try to make jewelry that reflects your style and doesn't look like store jewelry. Give a second life to an unusual accessory that will match your clothes and other accessories.

Method 3 of 4: Dressing Like a Pro

1. 1 Wear colors that are unusual, but not extravagant. If you are going to attend a semi-formal business or leisure event, you will need to look interesting and sophisticated at the same time. There are many different people at such events, so it is possible that someone will want to buy your work or offer you cooperation. To stand out from others, wear a dark green or brown suit or dress.
2. 2 Put on the belt. Belts add sophistication to any look. If you've opted for a fairly simple outfit, a fun belt will add a bit of flavor to it. This small piece of wardrobe is able to express your personal style and artistic preferences.
   • Embossed leather is rarely used in the manufacture of modern belts. The embossed leather belt will make your look unique.
   • You can choose a belt buckle that will have some meaning for you personally or will be associated with your creativity. For example, if you often use the ocean theme in your art, a belt with a shark or jellyfish will look appropriate.
   • Whether you are working with metal or leather, you can express yourself with a belt.
3. 3 Choose special jewelry to complement your look. Pay attention to original, exotic, expensive or quality items. Jewelry with intricate details or elements from the 80s is also suitable for a creative person. If the piece is very large or bold, it is better to wear it with simple clothes, rather than with an elegant attire for the opening of the exhibition.
   • Like a belt, jewelry can reflect your interests and be related to the theme of your art. For example, if you are interested in astronomy or use the image of outer space in your work, try looking for decorations with planets or supernovae.
   • Don't wear jewelry that looks like too much expensive or pretentious, even if they cost you a modest amount. It will be more difficult for you to sell your work if the buyer sees you in gold and diamonds.
4. 4 Dress simpler. Creative people often dress more simply than others. But be careful - there is a risk of appearing too casual in clothes and unfashionable. If you don't pay attention to your clothes, many people will start to question how creative you are with your work. Try to choose simple clothes in a certain style, rather than wearing the first jeans and T-shirts that come to hand.Clothes should be clean and fit well on you.

Method 4 of 4: How to Dress Like a Classic Creative Person

1. 1 Change your hairstyle. Choose a hairstyle that will make you stand out from the crowd. Below are some ideas:
   • Cut straight and ask your hairdresser to add bangs.
   • Get dreadlocks if this hairstyle suits your hair type.
   • Dye all or individual sections of your hair an unusual color. If you're worried about drastic color changes, try dyeing your hair with washable paint. If you are wearing African braids or dreadlocks, a few bright strands will make your hairstyle more interesting. To make the look more expressive, color the strands close to the face.
   • Back up. Comb the hair with a brush and fix the volume with varnish. While many choose to mask the elastic with the remaining curls, creative people often don't.
   • Do not straighten or curl your hair. Let them lie naturally.
   • Choose a hairstyle that contradicts gender stereotypes. If you are a girl, get a very short haircut. If you're a guy, grow your hair.
2. 2 Get pierced. You can pierce your eyebrow, lip, or nose to brighten your look. Many also insert tunnels into the earlobes. Note, unlike other types of piercings, the holes from the tunnels do not overgrow. If you prefer something less drastic, pierce your ear cartilage.
3. 3 Consider a tattoo. Tattoos are an art form. If you have multiple designs on your skin, it will let others know that you are a creative person. If you think of your body as a canvas, get a tattoo that will mean something to you. But don't take it lightly. Don't get a tattoo if you may regret it in the future.
   • If you paint yourself, draw yourself a tattoo and give the sketch to the artist.
   • In the minds of many, creative people often get tattoos on the neck or completely cover their arms with them.
   • If you are not ready for tattoos to stay with you forever, try getting a temporary tattoo.
4. 4 Stop shaving. Try growing a beard or shaving differently. Do what you want to do and don't let social pressure influence your decisions. The person decides for himself how to shave. Some artists shave, others don't. However, the stereotypical artist usually has a beard or at least stubble.
5. 5 Wear trendy jeans. Skinny may be in fashion, but as a creative person you need to stand out from the crowd. Jeans can be frayed or faded, but an artist should not wear jeans that fit poorly or are damaged.
6. 6 Wear more black. The popular image of the artist implies an abundance of black in clothes, and for good reason. Black not only looks good on any shape, but it also hides dirt and stains better than other colors. If your budget is tight, black clothes will save you laundry costs and last longer. Artists often come to events where their work is exhibited in black. Monochrome does not attract the attention of the audience and does not distract them from their work.
7. 7 Wear a beret. The black beret is a classic accessory for the stereotypical artist. Fortunately, black berets don't go out of style. They suit both men and women and can be worn in different ways. Buy yourself a beret to complement your creative persona.

Tips

• Dress in such a way that you have the opportunity to make clothes a part of your art. Wear leggings that you can dance in and shirts that can be artistically stained with paint or charcoal.
• Remember that the whole world, including clothing, is an opportunity for self-expression. Find something that makes you feel happy or alive, and don't wear things that someone thinks are fashionable. If you wear your clothes consciously and confidently, any outfit will look good on you. Believe that you look great and wear things that are close to you in spirit.
• Many aspiring artists are united by paint-splattered hands and things. If you want everyone to know that you are an artist, do not rinse out mascara and paint stains.
