How to dress for Christmas this season!

Christmas is in and where on hand, it brings the joy and excitement to look good, it also fills our hearts with panic over what to wear and how to look the best we can. Okay, let’s face a fact here - when it comes to picking out the best clothes to wear, men are considered, and rightly so, to be less fashion-conscious of the two genders. However, the good news is that, this is starting to change with more and more fashion designers coming up with new designs and collections for men on their runways.

But Christmas right on head if you are a bad dressing guy, here are some tips for you to dress appropriately for the occasion!

Since Christmas calls for dressing formally, guys think that getting away with any kind of suits will make it for the perfect look. I am saying this because I have often seen guys choosing shiny suits for this day. I mean unless you are going to be a backup dancer in a musical, there should be no reason why you should even own a shiny shirt or a suit for that matter. If you want to look your elegant best, nothing works better than a simple form fitting black t-shirt or black dress shirt. All you have to do is pair it up with some nice jeans or trousers and you’ll have no problem being noticed in a good way.

Avoid wearing ugly colors at all costs. That great looking suit you bought for yourself for Christmas party this year may be too expensive but if it makes you look like one of the staff or something from the 70’s, then I’m sorry to say but you paid too much. Make sure that the color of your clothes needs to compliment your natural features like the eye color, your skin tone, your built and your personality in particular. Avoid wearing too bright colors for suits. Any suit in the tone of black, gray and navy will work best for you this Christmas.
If you slightly healthy avoid wearing clothes that are really loose or baggy because they make you look sloppy and like a bum. You can try experimenting mixing and matching certain cuts and styles until you come up with the perfect look.

So these are some tips that might come in handy for you while choosing a suit for your Christmas Party! Wish you a great Christmas and by keeping these little suggestion in mind, I’m sure you’ll look your stylish best! Be ready for some great compliments!

While going for a social event corduroy jackets are a must have in your closet. They dignify you with grace and élan and present you with a sophisticated look.

The colours of jackets in corduroy are shimmering golden and green if the event is too elite to attend.
When considering a normal social do, red, blue and mustard yellow jackets are graceful.

The jackets with the huge buttons also look neat if worn with boots and a completely contrasting colour in connection to the jacket.

Prefer choosing A-line jackets if your body shape is not that well perfect so as to appear gorgeous and well dressed.

Always maintain not to choose zipper jackets while attending privileged social dos but do wear them on casual occasions as they complement occasions like these perfectly.

Women fashion disasters

Every year many major parties and events and along with that some polished and sophisticated style. Even celebrities and top models make their boo-boos every now and then. Fashion mistakes happen. Because of many reasons. Fashion mistakes do not have to happen all the time. Careful attention to detail is all it takes. Here are some of the most common fashion mistakes that we can commit, or have perhaps committed at some time. They’re easy to eliminate once you realize you’re in violation.

Noticeable Bra Straps
Even though sported backless and halter top dresses with visible bra straps on purpose for a few seasons. Bras are undergarments, so keep your straps properly adjusted and don’t let them peek out on intention or on accident. According to some survey which, says, that visible bra straps are the fashion crime of the summer. Britney Spears is a chief offender here, who is often found flaunting her straps, but there’s no contradiction that when bra straps become visible, it’s not a good look and it’s a fashion crime.

Detectable Panty Lines
Women also make the mistake of VPL (also known as visible panty lines). The only way to avoid visible panty lines is to invest in thongs. And yes, thongs can be comfortable, especially if they’re made of cotton. Your pantyhose should match the color of the hem of your skirt and/or the color of the shoes you are wearing. Therefore, if you are wearing a black skirt with black shoes, choose black stockings or pantyhose. If you are wearing a black skirt with brown shoes, wear brown or flesh-colored stockings.

Inadequate footwear
Nothing ruins an outfit more than a pair of dirty or rundown shoes. If your shoes are that uncomfortable or awkward, you shouldn’t buy them, not even if you plan on wearing for them for a short amount of time. Forget the stilettos and opt for more walking-friendly heels. Kitten heels are hot and will prevent you from becoming a literal walking fashion disaster.

Ill fitted clothes
This fashion disaster makes you look larger than you really are. Don’t be afraid to go up a size for the sake of your clothes fitting right. For women, baggy clothes are most unflattering (hiding all the curves), and so are tight jeans that appear to be your second skin. Not all curves are meant to be seen, so go for well fitting clothes. High-waist pants or pants with waists falling below your hips too are a fashion disaster, simply because they are unappealing on any figure.

White Bra with White Shirt
Many women make the blunder of wearing a white bra under a white shirt because they think it doesn’t show through. Instead of a white bra, choose a nude or tan color that closely resembles the color of your skin.

Scratched Nail prints
If you think people don’t notice, they do. And if you’re doing it to be trendy, get out the nail polish remover immediately. Nail polish maintenance, chooses a quality brand of polish, and don’t forget to put on a clear top coat. Fingernails should be properly filed and kept at a decent length. If you polish your nails, take the time to repair the chipped paint or do them over as soon as possible when you get home. Use serene colors on your nails for going to work on weekdays; bright and funky colors should be left for the weekends.

Do not wear Offensive colors
A certain color or a certain shade may appear pleasing to the eye. Do not put colors which look disastrous. The tip here is to try out colors and to pick the ones that suit your skin tone. Never choose colors that make you look overdone or dull.

Do not put inappropriate makeup
Do keep a check on the time and put make up accordingly. Also keep in mind Are you going to work, an afternoon date at the park, or at a party? The key to correct makeup is that it should be light at daytime and heavy at night. Also, wear colors that flatter your face and match your outfit.

Underarm stains
It is something which will make you feel ashamed of yourself in public. These look hideous, especially when you are wearing a white top. The solution to this is a good deodorant or a good perfume.

Be careful about details and with knowing what looks good on you, they do not have to occur at all. Hope you will not make such crimes after this.
