Preferred Materials
The main rule for choosing fabrics for sewing clothes in the Provencal style is a mandatory natural origin. Indeed, a feature of Provencal clothing models is that they are all made exclusively from natural materials, and synthetic fibers are not allowed in any form.
![](https://fashion.decorexpro.com/images/article/cropped/220-308/2017/05/stil-provans-v-odezhde-61.jpg)
![](https://fashion.decorexpro.com/images/article/cropped/220-308/2017/05/stil-provans-v-odezhde-62.jpg)
![](https://fashion.decorexpro.com/images/article/cropped/220-308/2017/05/stil-provans-v-odezhde-63.jpg)
The fact is that synthetic fibers create discomfort and can have a detrimental effect on the skin, not allowing it to breathe and ventilate sufficiently.
It is rare to use coarse, hard fabrics that create a definite shape and silhouette. An exception may be tweed, velor or corduroy used for suits, skirts and trousers.

![](https://fashion.decorexpro.com/images/article/cropped/220-308/2017/05/stil-provans-v-odezhde-20.jpg)
Preference is given to light, flowing fabrics that give the impression that the edges of the skirt fall, and blouses and sweaters softly envelop the silhouette.
For a hot summer period, natural cotton, chintz and linen fabrics will be an excellent choice. Preferred materials also include viscose and chiffon, and the incredibly popular crêpe de Chine this season.

![](https://fashion.decorexpro.com/images/article/cropped/220-308/2017/05/stil-provans-v-odezhde-22.jpg)
Thicker fabrics that work well for the off-season are flannel, denim, soft knit fabrics, or comfortable jersey fabric that feels good to the body.
![](https://fashion.decorexpro.com/images/article/thumb/450-0/2017/05/stil-provans-v-odezhde-23.jpg)

Who is it suitable for?
At first glance, the Provencal style of clothing can suit absolutely any girl, but this statement is a little incorrect, since not every type of girl will look organically in this way.

![](https://fashion.decorexpro.com/images/article/cropped/220-308/2017/05/stil-provans-v-odezhde-73.jpg)
A girl - summer, the owner of light skin and blond curls of a cold shade, can simply get lost against the background of the Provencal outfit, so it is necessary to dilute such an image with details from other styles or bright, unusual makeup.

![](https://fashion.decorexpro.com/images/article/cropped/220-308/2017/05/stil-provans-v-odezhde-26.jpg)
For a girl of summer color type with darker hair, it is better to choose an image in the French style with a large predominance of light cool shades, such as peach, light lilac, gray-lilac. Pale skin will look fresh and aristocratic against the background of such tones.
It is better for girls of the winter color type to avoid light shades of Provencal outfits, since the cold appearance of such young ladies can create some kind of disharmony in the image. But deep, darker shades can help create stunning outfits.
Ideal for Provencal outfits, the appearance of the spring girl and the fall girl, as the warm shades of curls and skin are perfectly combined with the characteristic color scheme of this style.
