Texture Styling

Texture can be both visually and tactilely stimulating. A velvet throw or rough weave adds comfort to a living room, while smooth leather sofas add modern sophistication. In fashion, texture adds depth and dimension by shaping how colors and shapes appear; smooth textures reflect light more brightly while textured fabrics diffuse it and tone down hues.

Textural elements can help guide the eye, directing where it should move and which areas of an ensemble or body to focus on. Shiny fabrics tend to draw the eye closer, while matte or textured fabrics create more of an ensemble effect by acting as conversation starters between pieces.

Fabric changes can drastically transform a wardrobe, giving an outfit either a more relaxed or sophisticated feel. For instance, leather pants give any ensemble an elevated appearance while linen skirts give off more casual vibes.

Texture has the power to significantly affect both our mood and style, making it vitally important to consider how different materials feel against your skin. Texture influences how we perceive color as well as altering how our eyes process silhouettes.

An overly shiny metallic jacket may draw the eye directly to your midsection and highlight any flaws in your figure, while wearing something like a matte cashmere jumper will reduce this effect.

Textures can create the appearance of volume and movement in your hair. You can achieve natural-looking waves and curls by braiding before bed and air drying it, or use a blow-dryer with a diffuser attachment to enhance natural textures. Finish your style by spraying hairspray or texture spray so that locks remain in place during the day.

Texture styling can be particularly helpful for those with fine or limp locks, as it creates the appearance of volume and lift. Instead of opting for volumizing mousses, try combing or teasing small sections of damp hair using your fingers before backcombing at the roots for instantaneous lift. Alternatively, air dry your locks twisted in small sections in small twists for stunning waves with plenty of texture!
