10 ways to sizzle all year round

Hmmm! isn’t it worrying enough if you don’t get what to wear at times and you are confused about how to carry off your clothes. Following are just 10 things to keep in mind while dressing up.

Definite Do’s

1. BE A JEANS AND SHIRT GIRL
Needless o say that a pair of well-fitting expensive jeans and a basic white shirt is a ust in any woman’s wardrobe.This classic never failing combo is the best fall-back for most nothing -to-wear times.

2. PERSONALISE YOUR LOOK
Take time out to design a look that is totally you. Infuse your cloths and accessories with your unique style quotient.

3. BUY KEY PIECES
Choose one flattering item from the seasons hottest trends, then mix and match to glam it up.

4. SHOE STOP
This season experiment with color, design and texture. When it comes to footwear choose from sneakers, ankle-ties, open-toes, flip flops and ballerinas in vivid, bright hues to get you into a flirty, summer mood. A must own are feminine shoes (bows, laces, etc).

5. LESS IS MORE
We know it’s hip to accessories, but too much can make you look like a Christmas tree. Instead, concentrate on one eye-catching piece, such as a brooch or pendant. Keep make up subtle and sheer.

6. HAIR ALERT
Instead of high maintenance mane fixes like highlights, opt for sleek haircuts. A chick style that suits your bone structure is the sure-fix to a happening social life-without hours of primping. Don’t scrimp n the expense or your bad hair-day may just last months.

DEFINITE ‘DON’T DO’S’

7. FASHION BLINDNESS
Never follow trends blindly; a lot of cuts are not designed for you, even if they are the latest fad. If you are buying jeans or trousers, make sure you pick a pair that fits well and suits your style. The same goes for all clothes and extras. When in doubt, conservative is always safer than crass.

8. DAFT FUNK
Be funky and slightly eclectic only if it suits you- the bohemian beatnik look can go from rocking to ridiculous if you don’t have the personality to carry it off.

9. TATOO TROUBLE
Stop the inner devil that tells to get a tattoo emblazoned on every available –or visible inch of your body. A tattoo is a personal statement that requires deep thought, or you will wind up looking like a bad advert for an even worse tattoo parlour.Same is for body-piercing.

10. NAIL IT
Forget the nail art – it’s for bored housewives with a lot of green backs to throw around. Stick to classy French manicure that lets your nails breathe and gives off a totally cool vibe.

Keep it classy and simple is the basic thing and you don’t have to worry about your look any day.

UNDERSTANDING FASHION

UNDERSTANDING FASHION

Whenever we talk about fashion, a superbly hot looking lady starts reverberating in our mind. The reason behind this is fashion is a replica of beauty, makeup and style, which is best seen in women.

The fashion conscious female is now more aware about the way they look and present themselves. They have brought a transformation in their lifestyles, now they take advantage of opportunities available in the market for them. Cheers! On the success of fashion.

1. Take care of your body frame while choosing a dress for your party. If you are a plump woman, try to avoid wearing sleeveless tops. You could probably go for darker colored clothing instead of wearing lighter shades. You could also prefer dull colors like dirty blue or dull blue. Wearing vertical line or small prints would also give a slimming effect.

For those with a medium build, you could go for pieces with fawn or beige colors. For blouses, nets would be great to help disguise physical flaws.

For slimmer women, any color or style would work well.

2. Skin Tone
If you have fairer complexion, gold and copper shades, as well as maroon, would look good on you. For women with medium complexion, go for shades of beige, white or bronzy golden. For darker-skinned women, golden copper shades, as well as oranges and reds work best.

3. Personality
The attitude you possess essentially defines your clothing sense and overall appearance

4. A good fit is always the key. Be sure to try on lots of dresses - even those that don’t seem to be something that you would like or wear. Clothing looks totally different on the hanger, than on you! Who knows? You could end up loving that tangerine-colored, satin, skinny-strapped gown that’s so NOT your usual color or cut.

5. Personal style and taste should reflect your overall look.

Keeping your look up to date is the basic mantra to follow on these days among girls:

• Pick up a woman’s magazine.
• Go to a different store and try new labels.
• Slip in some punchy color every season.
• Accessories are the easiest way to update your look.

Taking inspiration from the couture runways, this year’s prom dresses are less Cinderella and more Hollywood. Funky details, shorter skirts and loud color schemes are quite popular. Indeed, there seems to be a style for every type of girl!
