You Know ????? How to Learn the Golden Rules of Dressing

While dressing up there are a number of things that need to be kept in mind in order to avoid being overdressed, or worse, being underdressed. All of these pointers are based on solely one purpose; that what you wear and how you wear it speaks volumes for your personality and your outlook. So next time you are thinking of investing a few thousands into your wardrobe, first take a look at some of these pointers to spare yourself the embarrassment of putting up a wrong dress for yourself.
The Greek philosopher Epictetus once said that ‘know first who you are and then adorn yourself accordingly.’ This, therefore, becomes the first rule of dressing. Know your body type. Know what suits you and what not. Don’t just follow the fad and invest in whatever the world is wearing; see what will suit your body type and then adorn it. True style is definitely about not letting the clothes wear you but about you wearing and walking and talking the clothes.
Wearing the right outfit at the right time is as essential as being in the right place at the right time. Make sure that you dress according to the time of the day, season or occasion. If you are in for a hot summer day out for some chores, then lawn or cotton should be the preferable choice of garment. If it’s a formal function that you have to attend but during the summers, chiffon is a safer option. If you are having a night out during winters then linen or khaddar is the safest option. Therefore, explore your avenues. Know your garments.
Other than being appropriate in your choice of garment, you have to be considerate about your choice of color too. Not every color is made for every skin tone. If you have a fair complexion, then medium tones of green and blue are good for you. If the complexion is dark, it can further be enhanced by pastel colors such as aqua, pink or light yellow. Young girls should experiment with their looks to the extent and should adorn bright colors. On the other hand, slightly older ladies should choose the color according to their age and settle for darker shades of maroon or brown.
The most important aspect, however, of dressing up is being comfortable in your own skin. You need to be composed and confident with the dress that you are wearing. With the unpredictable weather that Pakistan ha every other day, what with scorching heat during the summers and moderate cold during the winters, cotton is the safest option for the fabric of a dress.
Following the fashion is not a crime. But you need to make sure that you are not overdoing it by revealing too much or showing what should not be shown. People tend to get carried away while following the latest fads and don’t consider the fact that something should be left to the imagination too. Therefore, be fashionable, but don’t overdo it. Wear less revealing garments instead of wearing plunging necklines and revealing hemlines.
Last but not least, it all comes down to elegance. The fact to be remembered is that elegance is a state of the mind. No dress can make you feel royal or elegant unless you yourself are not confident about it. So find a killer hairstyle to go with your dress, accessorize accordingly and you are all set to flaunt.

Daily Fashion pitfalls

Smart dressing is very important if only because what clothes we wear and how we actually wear them tells a lot about the kind of people we are. They say that clothes make the man, or woman, as in our case, and it is indeed true.
We do not have to be fashion leader or runway models to be able to look the part of the smart dresser. Most of the time, all it takes is to be neat, clean and presentable, and to be presentable, you have to use a bit of common sense and to avoid these everyday fashion pitfalls. You may find some of them funny, but woe to you if you are found guilty of such errors. Read on, learn and enjoy.

The everyday fashion pitfalls that you should avoid include:
- Wearing outfits that are see-through:  We always hear that less is more, and that adage is definitely applicable here. The less skin seen on you is oftentimes a lot better than baring it all. A touch of modesty does not hurt. Besides, wearing see-through clothes make you look on the slutty side, so it is best to shy away from them altogether.
- Carrying a belly bulge:  Even the slimmest women can be bust by wearing pants or skirts that are too tight at the waist. A waistband that is too tight pushes up the flesh of the abdomen, and it is quite ugly to look at. How can you breathe when your pants or skirt is too tight? Make sure that the waist of your bottom garment fits just right not too tight and not even snug.
- Dragging hemlines for pants: Do the turn-up of your pant legs get caught in your shoes when you are walking? The solution to this problem is to have the legs of your pants sewn in such a way that when you are wearing mules and such footwear, they are long enough not to get caught in.
- Grip in the sleeves:  Sweaters have become a necessity in cold. These nice, warm sweaters have really bulky sleeves. If you are going to wear a jacket or a coat over them, make sure that the sleeves of this jacket or coat are wide enough to accommodate those massive sleeves.
- Showing sweat stains:  Sweat stains are very unsightly. If your clothes have them on the underarms and they would not come out with washing, consider wearing these clothes for doing heavy chores like yard work instead. If you have a problem with your sweating, use a deodorant and consult a doctor.

Enhance Your Looks with Red color

Many women are afraid of wearing the color red because they believe that red is a color that is hard to pull off. Nothing screams the word “sexy” louder than wearing the color red, and some women just find it hard to deal with.
It takes attitude and ultimate confidence to be able to wear the color red with flair. A woman who manages to do it with style is always seen to be as hot as the color she is wearing. And why not? Hot, she definitely is.
If you do not feel comfortable with wearing an all-red get-up, start with small touches until you get used to being clad in the color red. With even just a small touch, a spot of red is vibrant enough to give life to what would otherwise look as a drab outfit.
If you have to wear a conservative suit to, say, a business meeting or a client call, you can liven up your outfit by wearing a pair of high-heeled red pumps. This will work exceptionally well with a knee-length, pencil-cut skirt and will draw eyes to your shapely legs.
On days that you feel too lazy to put some effort into dressing, match your beat-up jeans and loose tee with a red wristwatch. That is instant style with zero effort. A red wristwatch also looks smashing on an all-black ensemble.
Going to a party and tired of wearing your little black dress? Opt for a smashing red dress instead. Wearing a red dress to a party will guarantee you at least a grand entrance.
Painting your nails red for a hot date is also a brilliant idea. You can say a lot of things with just your hands; why not make an exclamation point with your fingernails? Red-painted nails are very chic and very sexy, and few men can resist the allure of a woman wearing red.
Care for some red sleeping garments? Red sleepwear can be very pretty. Despite whatever notions you may have concerning red sleepwear, there are actually some items out there that come in styles that are simple enough to wear on ordinary nights. They are pretty comfortable too. Even if you are going to spend the night by your lonesome, you can at least enjoy the fact that you are wearing something nice to sleep. If you are spending the night with someone, wearing red sleepwear can be very fun and sassy, and can lead to some nocturnal adventures for you and your partner.
Fancy wearing something casual with just a touch of vibrancy? Wear a red top. Again, it is an example of instant style with zero effort.
A word of caution, though. Red is a powerful color and red can stand for itself. Bear in mind that too much of a good thing is bad, and too much red can overpower you. Wear red, but keep it nice and simple. The color itself is an accessory all its own.

Perfect Color Collection Suitable To You

When we dress, we are trying to present an image that is pleasing to the eye. We want to receive those compliments that tell us that we look great, because then, and only then, will we believe that we do look great. This allows us to feel good about ourselves. Hence, the hunt for the perfect outfit begins and continues forever.Perhaps one of the most important reasons for having difficulty while selecting an outfit from our wardrobe would be the simple fact that the wardrobe is deficient in outfits that complement our body shape. How many times have you played the try on as many outfits as possible in 30 minutes? Game while looking for the perfect outfit to wear, only to be left with the same decision and a mountain of clothes to put away? The actual problem is not that you have nothing to wear; it is that you have nothing in the closet that flatters your stature.
So for many of us, the decision about what to wear should begin at the origin of purchase. Exactly how should you choose your outfits? Let’s start first by exploring how you currently go about selecting your clothing.You are drawn first by the colors and patterns. Your  judgment are more along the lines of whether or not it will look good on you, without thinking about how will it draw attention to your body shape so that it does look good on you. Color is an important feature, and how we display it is the most important aspect of that. The goal should be to take the attention away from the aspect of our body that is the least gratifying to us and place it elsewhere. In order to accomplish this, we need to consider our body shape, decide which feature we wish to accent more, and discover how to accomplish that.

some helpful tips:

- Those of you who are top heavy and have a full bust will want to draw the eye to the lower portion of your physique. Wear a bolder color from the waist down, and a softer color above.
- If you are thin everywhere, you will want to accentuate your figure by adding dimension. You can do this by choosing outfits that are loose and flowing, and by wearing horizontal patterns.
- If you are bottom heavy and have full hips, you will want to select clothing that draws the eye to the top of your body. You can accomplish this by wearing a splash of color or a bold print on the upper part of your figure, and a solid, darker color below the waist.
- For those of you who are wide everywhere, you will want to stay away from bold patterns or prints. Draw the eye to the upper portion of your torso to create a focal point.
- Those of you who have the envied luck to have a perfect hourglass figure have the easiest path of all. Wear anything you want! Also, remember that simple clothing that fits well is far better than fancier clothing that just "doesn't look right."
