Classy and sexy for Fall and Winter
Question: What’s on the runways for Fall/Winter 2008? Is it classy and sexy?
Answer: With Fall and Winter coming, perhaps your wardrobe needs a bit of updating? Well, here are a few 2008 Fall and Winter fashion trends that you may want to consider purchasing.
Sexy and classy are the features to look for when buying clothes for this Fall and Winter.
It’s so nice to see the dress make such a huge comeback this year!
For Fall and Winter the waist has returned! Whether on a belted swing coat, a curvy dress or pencil skirt, the emphasis is on the waist. The fitted shift style dress provides a much-needed antidote to all the trapeze shapes of this past summer. The seriously girlie frock could be on its way out? The dress for Fall is sexier and edgier -- but not skin tight -- so dresses will remain comfortable.
This Fall tailored jackets are in and can be worn in almost any setting and with a wide legged pant; these could work for the office as well.
Know your body shape
Petite women should avoid chunky clothes and strong prints. Instead go for fitted shapes and soft fabrics, narrow belts subtle contrasts of color and texture. Keep everything streamlined so as not to cut the body in half.
Busty women should wear eye-catching skirts (shorter if you are comfortable) and trousers; strong prints and colors or textures draw the eye away from the top half of the body. Wearing a single block of color is thinning. Avoid eye-catching tops; instead wear long jackets that draw the eye down. Darker colored tops which are loose fitting and waist hugging.
Pear shaped women should love vertical lines, V-necks and skirts with slits up the side. Straight of A-line skirts to just below the knee. Dark tights and shoes with color or pattern in a blouse or top, tops should hang past the hips. Classic cuts on top in lighter colors draw the eye away from the hips. Accent the V-neck with a V or Y- shaped necklace.
Tall women should avoid tight clothes. Wear the right skirt length, too short or too long will be out of proportion. As with petite women keep everything streamlined, wear blouses over trousers so as not to shorten your top half.
Common Fashion Mistakes Women Should Avoid
The wrong colors. Know your skin and hair tone and what colors will work with you, and when shopping be honest. Wearing the right size clothes in good tailored fitting will make you look wonderful no matter what size you are. Here’s an easy one, wrinkled clothes. Avoid looking like you haven’t made the effort.
Another one women tend to overlook is underwear. Wear good, well fitting underwear and don’t show bra straps or slip hems. Also make sure that skirt is not too short. They make it too easy to flash, keep your modesty intact.
Accessories can really make an outfit, but don’t overdo it. Remember, accessories can kill a look just as easy as they can enhance it, and always remember to make sure your shoes match your outfit or stockings.
Remember always dress for the occasion or wear functional clothes depending on the weather or season. Try to create a wardrobe of clothes you can mix and match so that you don’t have to worry about putting outfits together. And don’t get stuck in a rut this Fall by always sticking to the same style of clothes; have some fun changing your wardrobe, update your hairstyle, and enjoy the fabulous Falll fashions this year.
