Fashion-Dressing Right

By Super Admin

Does real fashion mean copying a film star or following what is in?

Fashion and the style of your wear is one of the highlighted statements nowadays. Thus one has to know what is "in" and what is "out". But according to people nowadays one should never go with the world or the fashion that is in or out. Rather he or she should always be aware of what really suits him or her and how he or she would look in the outfit. Whether a particular outfit fits one's personality and body structure should always be kept on mind. Hence, following the style of a film star is not the correct thing that is recommended nowadays. The clothing style can change the total appearance of a person and it must be remembered that the way you dress can affect your personality to a great extent.

Thus this goes to prove that the concept of fashion and style is changing every day and that it is impossible to keep a tab of this world. One should follow what suites you and your size and what really makes you look beautiful as well as trendy. Fashion is an important aspect in every ones life. This is a comprehensive section on Indian fashion, fashion advice, fabrics, colours and clothes that suit your personality, importance of accessories and much more. Every person has a different body structure and not every kind of clothes will suit you. But with little help and knowledge of fashion and dressing sense you can carry off any dress you wear. Sometimes it becomes difficult to decide what you want to wear for formal parties. But if you know what to wear and make a few formal dresses a part of your wardrobe, then the job becomes easy.

Handy tips for you

Fashion and beauty work hand in hand. Dressing up is an art and the important thing about dressing right is you should look slim and tall in whatever you wear, no matter what your weight is. The way you dress, the way you present yourself and the way you carry off your clothes depends on how much you know and relate to fashion. Sometimes we think that we know all about fashion but there are a few fashion myths that ought to be revealed.

Black goes with everything
False! Black works well with dark colours and neutrals although it looks best with another black item thrown into the mix instead of one random piece. Black also looks great mixed in equal proportions with white. But too much black is too harsh against pastel colours and hence a balancing act is needed. However, black can be your best friend if you want to look slim.

Big girls can't wear prints
False! Flattering dressing is all about balancing proportions. The safest tip to remember is to avoid extremes. This means that if you are bigger or smaller than average, don't wear huge loud checks or tiny ditsy florals. Instead, go for medium prints that are eye-catching without being loud.

Baggy clothes make you look slimmer
False! On the contrary, baggy clothes make you look fat. Waisted jackets, frill-edged skirts, scoop necklines and fitted tops are much more slimming than over-sized tunic tops.

Designer clothes are better quality and value
Some items like coats, tailored trousers and evening gowns are worth spending money on because the fit is key. Other things need not at all be such expensive designer stuff.

I've got nothing to wear
This negative attitude needs to be changed. Sort through your stuff and you're guaranteed to find at least three long lost friends that are due an airing. Look through magazines for new ideas about how to wear things and don't dismiss them until you've tried.

Camouflage the minus points that you have
Dressing to flatter your figure is as much about playing up your best features as it is about hiding what's not perfect. You should know what suits you and what you should wear to camouflage the minus points and highlight the plus points. Learn what to wear to suit your shape.

Curvaceous figure
You must be proud of your figure but if not properly dressed you might lose all the curves behind baggy layers and frumpy colours. Flaunt your gorgeous figure with fitted tailoring and sexy outfits. Go for halter neck dresses and tight knits. Amp up your best features and show them off with eye-catching accessories like a waist-defining belt in a contrasting colour or eye-catching shoes. In jeans wear, go in for boot cuts with a body-skimming tee.

Thus it is important that one understands and explores the dressing sense that he possesses and work on that and make it grow. In this way he might have a fashion or style of wear that might help him in his own little ways.
