refers to the styles and customs prevalent at a given time. In it's most common usage, "fashion" exemplifies the appearance of clothing, but the term encompasses more. Many fashions are popular in many cultures at any given time. Important is the idea that the course of design and fashion will change more rapidly than the culture as a whole.
We all love fashion, especially us girls coz we all like dressing up, have fun experimenting with clothes, trying out what looks good on us and compliments our figure..And here are some fashion dos and don'ts, i find it interesting so i wanna share it with all of u..;) hope u like it..=p
Fashion dos and don'ts
Don't pull up your stockings in public
Do wear color near your face
Do soften the hard lines of a suit with a lace top undreneath
Don't wear sweaters so long that they make you look short
Don't wear acid washed jeans
Cropped pants can make u look shorter
Do have a stash f basics on hand: T-shirts, leggings, black socks and tights
Patterned leggings can make legs look heavier
Monochromatic outfits are one of the best slimming secrets there is
Don't overaccessorize..(remember: less is more)
Lies, Lies, Lies
You shouldn't wear suede shoes in summer, or patent leather in winter
Handbags have to match ur outfit
Black is boring
If u wear two pieces that are both navy, the colors have to match
(it's all but impossible)
Now we go to elements of Style
Do...
*Try something that's "not you" once in a while- it's kinda nice that u try to experiment, and mix and match, try clothes that u thought won't look good on u but once u try it on u'll realize that wow it compliments my figure, it looks on me and somehow u'll feel good..;)
*Adapt trends so that they work for u- and ADAPT is the key word here, a plaid minikilt isn't for everyone, for example. But if u love the look, try a longer plaid skirt (and maybe that will work for u..)..=)
*Hold on to ur favorite updated pieces. You never know!
*Add a couple of stylish, inexpensive things to ur wardrobe each season (fashion doesn't mean all the stuffs that u have needs to be expensive or branded)
Don't...
*Force urself to wear something for somebody else..(be ccreative and unique with ur look and wear clothes that is really u..sometimes clothes that looks good with somebody else doesn't looks good on u..and same thing goes when ur at the mall, go shopping, then u see this glam dress on the manequin and it caught ur attention, then once u try to fit it u'll realize that oh it doesn't looks good on me, oh well..)
*Dress like a teenager(oh c'mon, dress appropriately..and sometimes i get irritated when i see some older women who dresses like their 16 y/o teenager..yaykz!)
*Mix two seasons on one oufit..(arghh!..)
*Wear really casual shorts or beach sandals on dress down fridays
*Wear too many colors at once..(are u a clown?!..lol)
and oh if u find an inexpensive, basic item that fits well, but it in several colors
