Hanna Paananen, who lives in Helsinki, used to wear only black. Now that’s hard to believe.
Hairdresser Hanna Paananen, 31, dressed before so many other Finns. In almost every situation, he relied on black clothes.
This changed about a couple of years ago. Among other things, this was influenced by the fact that after starting the work as a hairdresser, black clothes were no longer a practical option. After the bleaching, orange stains started to appear on the clothes.
When she abandoned black clothes, Hanna’s style gradually became more and more colorful.
Hanna’s current style is described by the words colorful and rich. One feature is at the center of everything.
– I like comfort, so the clothes have to feel good to wear.
Hanna doesn’t trust any style rules. He usually dresses according to his mood. However, he wants the colors to harmonize beautifully and he thinks the look is beautiful.
– In my style, the idea that more is more comes true, Hanna says with a laugh.

“Dresses are the cornerstone of my style”
In autumn and winter, Hanna enjoys dressing in layers.
– Dresses are the cornerstone of my style, Hanna sums up.
In Hanna’s opinion, the only bad thing about dresses is that you should wear tights under them in the winter.
However, she hates tights and has gotten around this problem by wearing pants under her dress.
Another favorite outfit for autumn and winter is a dress and combined with a colorful sweater.
Thanks to layering, summer clothes will last well into autumn and winter.
Hanna says that it’s easy to start with pastel colors if you want more color in your outfit.
Hanna gets almost all her clothes from the flea market.
Hanna finds her clothes at the flea market
The colorful wardrobe is largely made up of clothes bought second-hand. Hanna enjoys going around the flea markets and making unique discoveries.
– If I need something, I primarily look for it used. However, if I can’t find it used, then I’ll buy it new, Hanna says.
When it comes to new clothes, he usually turns to domestic or Nordic brands. New acquisitions are also made only after a long consideration.
Sometimes Hanna also makes clothes herself. Training as a dressmaker is useful in expressing your own style.
Sometimes you can carry up to two bags with you.
Hanna advises that you can easily add color to an outfit with, for example, a scarf.
“I don’t have any rules”
Jewelry also plays a big role in Hanna’s style, although she admits that she is relatively minimalist when it comes to jewelry. Although she has sometimes rocked ten different necklaces at the same time.
However, she usually wears jewelry if the outfit leaves room for it. The jewelry ends up depending on the mood.
