Fashion Spring Clean: Update Your Lingerie Wardrobe
good long look at your lingerie drawer. If you still don’t see any problem, then picture a stranger taking a look at your lingerie drawer. Yep, the once whiter-than-white bra you love is more a shade of grey, the trusty black balcony bra that goes perfectly with a dress you own is distorted into looking more like a mangled mess. You are the only person who will buy you lingerie so be prepared to treat yourself, indulge in one of life’s necessities. Perhaps it’s time to take on a different method to your lingerie purchases?
Here are five tips to help you on your way to a perfect lingerie wardrobe…
Bra-fitting
Firstly, get bra-fitted. If you’ve changed shape at all then you may need to get fitted more regularly. Also if you’re buying a different make or shape of lingerie then you must get fitted every time you buy something completely new.
Create a Lingerie Drawer
Secondly, it’s important to create a lingerie drawer which works for you and your needs. Purchase the following: t-shirt bras with seven matching simple knickers (these are for everyday use so comfort is key here); five beautiful sets (this will suit your style and personality – sexy, sensual, sporty or one of each and every occasion).
Make Sure You Multi-Way
Thirdly, whether you’re a social butterfly or a home bird there will be the occasion when a good multi-way bra is a must. Choose one which goes strapless, halterneck and cross-over at the back. This bra will come in very handy during the summer months, too.
Sexy AND Comfortable Nightwear
Fourthly, the chances are that if your lingerie drawer needs updating then your nightwear will need addressing, too. The trick is to marry sexiness with comfort – yes it does exist. Also, you will need some lounge wear in soft cottons or cashmere that you can wear around the house while cooking or cleaning.
Don’t Forget your Hosiery
Finally, if you haven’t given your lingerie drawer much thought then your hosiery drawer might also need some attention.
Whether there are bundles of tights with little elastic left in them or odd stockings, throw them out. Invest in an array of tights and stockings which compliment your wardrobe, but not too many – be bold throw away old hosiery as you go.
Today’s Fashion in Women’s Clothing
When we talk about women clothing, it basically refers to an ultimate representation of a woman’s confidence to carry off any clothing whether fashionable or simple and make her look more stylish and glamorous. You will find here the cardinal rules of dressing up in accordance to your body shape
The style in summer: Its the summer time. Go for khaki pants, capris and plain shirts or printed tops. Don’t go for plain tees as they are too boring to beat the heat. Try different wild and exotic colors. If you want to wear your old jeans, match it up with an off-the-shoulder tunic or sleeveless top as a cover up.
Follow the simple and elegant style: When somebody wants to look sexy, it does not mean that you have to wear micro mini skirts and tight tops. You can opt for loose, full skirted , baggy style tops as well. Wear a long, full-skirted dress that complements with your height. Tall, thin women will look good on belted dresses with stiff pleats.
One of a unique style: Always prefer to wear certain unique dresses which you can carry off confidently without looking funny. This is the perfect way to make a fashion statement. This does not mean you will buy an expensive designer wear for yourself. Rather in small, street markets, you can select good stuff at low costs.
Shape up: Don’t be afraid to reveal your figure but in a decent manner. You can emphasize your body shape and size by wearing Backless tops, short or knee length skirts, sleeveless t-shirts, v-neck tops etc. One of the most flattering way to reveal is by wearing straight leg or boot cut jeans that will sit on your hips, your waist or just below your hip bone.
Dare to wear red: Red is a classic color preferred by many women. The color symbolizes bold confidence, power, and at the same time it also gives a figure-flattering shape because of its deeper-hued incarnation. The red colored dress can absorb light and conceal darkness.
If you are not sure, wear black: Black is a color that makes everyone looks slimmer. This is a color which will never go down in its popularity in women’s clothing.
There you are. I hope these tips on women’s clothing is useful to you. So, dress up and look and feel good at any size!
Fashion Accessories – Can Update Your Look
Are you interested in updating your appearance, at least in terms of your fashion? If you are, you may not only want to examine the latest in clothing fashion trends, but also the latest trends in fashion accessories. Fashion accessories are rapidly increasing in popularity, particularly in our celebrity-obsessed culture. The term “fashion accessories” is very broad and includes a number of products. Just like fashion clothing pieces, accessories come in virtually every size, shape and style under the sun. There are fashion accessories that are designed for children, teens, men, women, petite sized, and plus sized individuals. The most well known fashion accessory is of course, jewellery. For teenagers and children, fashion jewelry pieces that are popular often include colourful, oversized pieces, as well as charm necklaces or charm bracelets. For men, a popular piece of jewellery often includes large pendant necklaces, many of which display a cross or another popular or meaningful symbol. As for women, popular pieces of fashion jewelry include watches, earnings, rings, necklaces, bracelets, pins, and so forth.
Another major fashion accessory that you might want to look at is a new handbag. While purses can also be trendy, it is the handbag that has become a real status symbol and major fashion accessory. Updating your handbag every season can be an easy and relatively inexpensive way to update your whole look. If your wardrobe is filled with classic pieces that flatter your body shape and suit your colouring, then simply choosing a new trendy handbag can instantly bring your look up to the minute.
Travel bags are also considered a fashion accessory, but differ from handbags in that a lot of them are designed for both sexes. A travel bag is generally a small bag that can be used as carry-on luggage for a plane ride, a nappy/diaper bag or a laptop carrying case. Many major fashion labels also have their own luggage line as well.
Shoes are also a fashion accessory, although many do not necessarily consider them to be. Most often, women’s shoes are associated as fashion accessories, as opposed to men’s shoes. One of the reasons for this is the amazing array of women’s shoe style available, for example: athletic shoes, casual sandals, elegant sandals, flat dress shoes, stilettos, kitten heels, sling backs, mules, pumps and the list goes on. As with handbags and purses, most women own multiple pairs of shoes and aim to coordinate their shoes, especially for work, with the rest of their ensemble. Belts are also a major fashion accessory. While for many men and boys, belts are not necessarily a fashion accessory as much as a fashion necessity to hold their pants up; the same isn’t true for women. Women’s belts come in a number of different sizes, shapes, and styles and virtually every season there is a new “must-have” style. There is everything from casual, crocheted belts to wear with jeans, to elegant, black leather belts as a pair of slimline black trousers for work.
Belts, handbags, purses, travel bags, jewellery and shoes are just a few of the many fashion accessories that you can use to make a good outfit into a great one. Accessories can be real statement pieces and a way to show your personality in an otherwise classic outfit. Fashion accessories are a great way to spice up any wardrobe, especially one that could use an updating.
