Finding Your Fashion Style

Finding Your Fashion Style

All women want to look sharp and fashion forward. Fashion trends change every season, but there are certain basic items that everyone wants in their wardrobe. Key pieces that can be combined to create many different looks. While dresses are a staple in most wardrobes, dress styles change regularly.  Long sleeve styles may have been popular in 2010 and in 2011 the trend may focus on a more feminine empire style to be the fashion. While each of us may choose our own style and not care about what is popular, the current trendy styles are what will be found in the stores.

To know what is in fashion, just start shopping, the current trends will be shown nearly everywhere, from your favorite local mall to fashion magazines. Dresses are a great basic because they can be worn so many ways.  For casual wear, simply add sandals or flat shoes for a relaxed look. The same dress can then be dressed up nicely with heels or with jewelry.

The styles and colors of dresses will also change from season to season. Skirt lengths go up and down, with both a short skirt and a longer style usually in fashion at the same time.  Many of us will tire of our clothes long before they wear out, so pick what you like and that also fits your budget. Washable clothes are easier and cheaper to maintain than dry clean only, so for many this is a consideration.

Experiment to find your own style. One of the nicest things about womens apparel is the freedom to experiment. Even the simplest outfit of a mini dress and sandals can be an expression of the wearer's personality. Dresses come in an array of silhouettes and colors. A dress can be a fashion statement or a personal statement - the choice is up to you. The biggest part of a womens apparel experiment comes through with the accessories.

When selecting shoes, fit and comfort may be sacrificed to style. This may not be a good tradeoff depending on what activities you plan to pursue while wearing them. Be sure to try on both shoes as most people have one foot that is slightly larger than the other. Shoes can be made of leather, imitation leather, cloth and other materials. Leather shoes are usually the most expensive, but they last the longest. Before making a big investment in shoes, think about how long you believe they will suit your taste, style and wardrobe and how long you might want to keep wearing them.

The handbag is another must have accessory that is on every womens wish list.  Modern style gurus no longer require matching your purse to your shoes, so go wild. Get a giant bag or a mini bag for everyday wear so you can carry all of your stuff. Pick a tiny, shiny clutch for that night on the town. As long as it's big enough for your keys, lipstick, money and cellphone, it will work. If you plan an active day, forget the bag and go for a back pack. No longer just for athletes, these come in an array of styles and colors like other purses. And when you're ready to get fancy, remember that you can add jewelry, gloves, hats, scarves and more to personalize your look completely.

Fashion tips for women

Fashion tips for women




Are womens fashion style statements just about wearing fashionable clothing? Every one of us are different and so its important that we each have a fashion statement that best suits our personality. Fashion is nothing but highlighting the best and hiding all of our flaws.

Points all women should know about choosing the right clothing for yourself:

•Always wear a free flowing fabric in one tone to achieve a long and slim look.

•Wear clothes on the basis of your body structure.

•Velvet and leather are apt for the Winter while silk, organza and cotton are best for Spring/Summer.

•For a morning party opt for lighter shades like emerald green, ocean blue, pink or you could also try out some trendy pastel colors.

•For late evening occasions opt for vibrant colors that can add a sparkling effect to your dressing sense.

•If you are short it would be advisable you avoid wearing short dresses. Rather go for long skirts with a nice fish cut.

•If you are thin avoid wearing sleeveless clothes. It would be advisable to wear dark color clothes as they accentuate your slim body structure.

•If you have a medium structure wearing beige and fawn color clothes would suit you best.


Skin tone:

•If you have a fair complexion, then gold with a blend of copper would just look beautiful.

•If you are a medium wheatish color skin tone, then mixed shades of white, beige and bronzy golden would suit your style.

•Dark skin women should wrap themselves with golden copper shades.


Helpful tips

•Wear clothes of your own true size. Never opt for oversized clothes, this works against you rather than for you.

•Be careful while selecting accessories to wear. Just don’t pick up something for the heck of it. Remember your accessories speak more about you than your clothes.

•Make sure whatever jewelry you wear blends well with your style and doesn't overpower it.  You want to be the star of the occassion not your jewelry.

A Cocktail Dress For Every Body Type

A Cocktail Dress For Every Body Type

One of the most versatile dresses that was ever designed for wear on special occasions is the cocktail dress.
While the events for which cocktail dresses are worn are usually late afternoon or early evening affairs
that are too casual to be called black-tie events, many cocktail dresses can now be worn elsewhere, depending on the cut and the material of the dress and the accessories worn with it.

To wear a cocktail dress to a more formal event, all you need to do is to accessorize accordingly, perhaps
wear more flashy pieces of jewelry and heavier makeup.  If you need to wear something dressy to the office
for any reason other than the usual skirt or pantsuit, you can wear a cocktail dress that is not too flashy
and just throw on a blazer and slip into sensible office shoes.  Many current styles of cocktail dresses are
no longer limited to being party wear anymore.

Choosing what style of cocktail dress to wear, however, can be very tricky for most women.  After all, only
a few women could claim to have truly perfect bodies, and most women who do not fall into the
supermodel category prefer to hide the flaws of their figures.  Wearing a one-piece dress such as a cocktail
dress can easily reveal those flaws if the dress does not fit the wearer’s body type.

In picking out the right cocktail dress to wear, a woman should always consider her body type - whether
she is top-heavy or bottom-heavy – and find something that will balance out her figure.  If she is bottom-
heavy, her aim should be to draw attention to the upper part of her body and to her face.  If she is top-
heavy, she has the option either to emphasize her cleavage or to wear something that will pull the eyes to
her legs.

What kind of cocktail dress would suit a woman with a bottom-heavy figure?   As said above, a woman
with a bottom-heavy figure would want to hide the thickness around her hips and thighs.  A good cocktail
dress for her to wear would be a dress that fits closely around the waist but without the seams pushed out
by extra padding around the abdomen and has a skirt that flares out around the hips and thighs.  A
cocktail dress with a full skirt would be perfect for a woman with a bottom-heavy figure because it will
definitely hide whatever flabbiness and bulges that she wishes not to be seen around her lower body.

Another option available for a woman with a bottom-heavy figure is a cocktail dress that sports an
empire-style waistline.  A cocktail dress with an empire-style waistline has the waist placed higher, thereby
pulling the eyes towards the shoulders, the neck and the face.  It also drapes and skims over the lower
body.

And yet another choice open for a woman with a bottom-heavy figure is a cocktail dress that is either
sleeveless or strapless, also with a flaring skirt.  Again, baring the arms and the shoulders is effective in
drawing attention away from the hips.

As for women with top-heavy figures, she could either emphasize her cleavage or her legs, as mentioned
above.  If she wants to put focus on her legs rather than her cleavage, she can wear a cocktail dress with a
solid-colored top paired with a patterned skirt.  She can hike the hem of her skirt up to make it shorter and
really draw the eyes to her legs.

If she wants to attract attention to her ample cleavage rather than her legs, she can cover up her legs in a
long-skirted cocktail dress but reveal a little skin on her upper body with a low V-neck or plunging neckline.

In fact, she can draw the eyes to both her top and her legs by wearing a short cocktail dress with a low
neckline if she wants to.  What she should not do is to wear a cocktail dress with an overly busy top
because it will make her upper body appear larger and skew the balance of her figure.

Accessories also help to keep the illusion of balance on a woman’s figure aside from wearing the right kind
of cocktail dress.  Bottom-heavy women can wear flashy earrings, necklaces or chokers, while top-heavy
women can forego the necklace and opt for a bracelet instead.  However, she should buy her cocktail dress
first before figuring out what accessories, bag and shoes to wear.

Cocktail dresses are versatile dresses that can be worn on any occasion that requires some degree of
formality without being a full black-tie event.  A woman should be able to choose the right cocktail dress
that can really flatter her body type, which is easy to do at Scarlet Tangerine.   Please visit our store at
