Fashion No-No!

Continuing with my Fashion Preaching, just wanted to reiterate the 10 things to remember in order to avoid being a Fashion Victim. What suits others may not suit you!

1. Age - One should dress according to one's age. This is very important. We have to accept the fact that we all look different at different times of our lives and what looked nice when we were younger may not be suitable at our current age.

2. Shape - Take a hard look at yourself in the mirror and determine your body type which could be influenced by age, dieting, exercising, health, etc. It could be X (hourglass figure-curves), H(boyish figure-straight), O (waist heavy), A (pear shaped - bottom heavy) or V (top heavy).

3. Size -Extra tight or loose clothes is a big No-No. Choose clothes which are your size. Clothes that fit look better...any day. These neither cling tightly nor hang loosely!

4. Accessories - Accessories are an important element in your dressing. Stay up to date with the latest trend but do not go overboard.....keeping it minimum will not hurt!

5. Look - No matter what clothes we are wearing, the look of the garment should be neat & cleaned & ironed!

6. Style - Recognize what style suits you and then stick to it. You could experiment around a bit & then choose which feels comfortable and looks good on you.

7. Lingerie - Do not think that being worn underneath your garments you could get away with any old shapeless underwear! Invest in good lingerie. They should sit right on your body & make you feel good. Make sure that the Bras are the right size & shape! Toss away any shapeless underwear! No point in keeping them for it's not doing the job it's suppose to be doing!

8. Shoes - Ever heard of the saying "Shoes maketh the man"? Shoes could make or break a stunning outfit. So, pay extra attention to your footwear and maintain it from regular wear & tear & dirt!

9. Handbag - The Bag reflects your personality. Choose one which suits you and the outfit that you are wearing and the occasion! For an evening out or for a party, the bag would definitely be different from the one which you would carry to your workplace or for shopping!

10. Confidence - Lastly, the key to looking good & feeling good is to carry oneself with Confidence..........no matter what one wears!
