TRENDY AND SOCIABLE
Fashion
is basically about being comfortable, smart, and admirable for the right
reasons. Our dressing and composure is the first thing about us that strikes an
impression, so getting it right is of paramount importance. First of all,
looking simple goes a long way in bringing out the beauty in us. From our
colour combination, to make up, and accessories, all have to speak right and
speak you.
These
are a few rules on how to put the pieces together;
Socks
should be matched with tie as an exception to something worn above the waist
such as a shirt, tie, or suspenders.
Belt
should be matched with shoes except when wearing a white of either piece.
Always wear a belt with pants that have belt loops.
You
shouldn’t wear ties with pocket squares of the same pattern.
Slip-on
shoes must be worn with a suit. Suede shoes are fantastic for business
dressing.
Suspenders
shouldn’t be worn without a jacket.
Always
make sure shirts and pants are ironed and never leave out to straighten collars
well.
Tuxedos
are fun for dinners. You are never a well-dressed man if your shoes, belt,
wrist watch and hair cut are a poor taste or in a poor state.
Your
casuals are best kept simple and less colourful.
Dressing
as ladies have to fit and flatter. Bright colours are now in trend but you know
you should not exceed three colours from head to toe. So I always advice a
colour wheel while picking and/or combining colours (diagram of a colour wheel).
This is how to use a colour wheel. Colours that match are colour opposite each
other on the colour wheel, colours close to each other don’t work. Remember to
avoid matching your jewelry with the colour of your dress by wearing same
colour. Gold and silver jewelries work with all dress types.
As
regards make-up application, our eyes speak a lot so the eye make-up also has
to speak. Neutral colours on our eye and a nice mascara to elongate our lashes
give big, bold and beautiful eyes. To make your eyes appear larger, applying
two coats of mascara to top and bottom lashes and using a lash curler will also
help. Use light coloured eye shadows on the lids for a wide-eyed look.
Our
general make-up should not be used for more than six months on opening. Before
we select the make-up to use, we should talk to a beautician so your skin can
be tested and the best beauty product selected for use.
The
best outcome and fit of our dressing as ladies has a lot to do with an
appropriate under wear. One that fits and is perfect size brings out a good
fit.
Most
importantly, clothes are what we make them to be. Clothes are not all that make
us beautiful, we make them too. So keep being beautiful, trendy, smart and
always remember to wear a smile, it’s the finish to the dressing.
