Fashion tips : How to always look picture perfect

Ian Tham

Clothes have a profound effect on us psychologically. Choosing
the wrong color makes you look sick and ghastly. Worse, it
spoils your day as the color of your clothes can affect your
mood. First of all, you need to consider your skin tone, eye and
hair color. It is advisable to try out clothes in different
colour and get a close friend or family member to see if a
particular color suits you. If possible, try to get as many
colors in your wardrobe that suit you.

Both white and black are versatile colors. A white top can
match a bottom of any color. Similarly, a black bottom can go
with any color for your top. Different colors connote and
express different emotions to suit each new day. Wearing white
lightens and brightens your mood and symbolises purity and
cleanliness. Black gives you elegance and an air of mystery not
to mention sex appeal. Red makes you stand out in the crowd and
works well especially if you want to draw attention. It
symbolises passion, energy and excitement. Yellow connotes
optimism, fun and joy. href="http://www.everythingblue.info/store/Womens.htm">Blue
is soothing and calming as well as inspiring. Lastly green
symbolise freshness, harmony and love.

It is always better to over dress for an occasion . For example
, if the invitation card says smart casual, you can always
overdress with your href="http://www.buy-jackets.com/">jacket. If everyone wears
one, you won't feel awkward or embarrassed especially if it is a
sales presentation and you stand to lose points with your
client. If no one wears jackets you can always take it off and
blend in with the crowd.

No one has a perfect figure all the time. What you need to do
is to accentuate your strength and downplay bad points. Wear
larger prints in areas where you want people to focus and
smaller prints on parts which you want to draw attention away
from. Skirt length should be knee level if your thighs are big.
Jacket hems should not fall where your hips are the widest. It
should be a little higher up. Wear something which gives you a
lower or wider neckline. It makes your neck look longer and your
face thinner. The overall impression is a slimmer you. Follow
these rules. Dark colors tend to make you look slimmer while
light and bright colors tend to make you look plumber. If
possible, go for a monochromatic look which makes you look
slimmer. Clothes with vertical stripes make you look slimmer
too. Try not to expose your arms with sleeveless tops.

Don't buy something simply because it is on sale and in the
bargain bins. There's a reason for it simply because the sizes
available are usually at the both ends of the scales or they
could be odd sizes. It is important to wear clothes that fit.
Otherwise you feel uncomfortable when you sit down and breathe.
Clothes that are either too large or tight will make you look
larger than you are. Another important point to note is don't
buy smaller clothes thinking you will slim down in the near
future. The size you buy should be the one that fits you now.
