Quiet Luxury

Sartorial perfection, feminine classics, gentle minimalism. Crystal Ethereal style is a combination of subdued, classic style and the commonly understood romantic style. However, the Crystal-romantic is refined, sophisticated, always perfect, and it allows for tighter forms and slightly sharper lines than in the Mermaid Ethereal.

Crystal Ethereal style draws from the guidelines for Classic, Soft Classic, and Romantic. It is gentle but not overly romantic. More solid and always elegant. It is based on subdued colors and introduces monochrome and light colors. It excludes any patterns and expressive, decorative elements. The exception in this matter is jeweled necklines, although they also cannot be too visually heavy or theatrical.

The balance of aspects – Classic, Soft Classic, and Romantic – depends on the entire Ethereal configuration.

Crystal makeup is essentially based on the Soft Classic guidelines. The appearance of red lipstick means, for example, the influence of French or Slavic Ethereals.

Crystal hairstyles are based mostly on shoulder-length and long bob haircuts. Maximum length – hair reaching the middle of the back. Wavy hair is characteristic of the Crystal Ethereal. The hairstyle needs to be polished. There should be no mess and wind in your hair. For the evening and special occasions, Hollywood waves will be ideal.
