Pattern : |
| When
trying on patterns, close
your eyes in front of the
dressing room mirror, then
open them quickly. If your
eyes go directly to the
clothing rather than to
your face, the pattern is
too overpowering. Scale
patterns to your bone size
and height. The more petite
you are, the more petite
the patterns should be.
When selecting a patterned
piece, ask yourself if you
could tolerate seeing the
print twice in the same
week. If you couldn't, the
pattern is probably too
bright or bold for you.

| Slim-liners:
|
| To
look slim, you don't always
have to be slim. Here are
some clever dos and don'ts
that can make you look thinner!
|
|
| • |
Do diminish your hips by
wearing a pale satin top.
It will act as a reflector,
calling attention to your
face and upper body. |
| • |
Do
remember that navy, hunter
green, dark wine, and chocolate
brown eveningwear can be
just as slimming as black.
|
| • |
Do
slip into silk pants for
an evening out; their loose-fitting
legs flatter fuller figures.
|
| • |
Don't
wear shiny fabrics on parts
you're trying to slim. That
would only draw attention
to what you want to play
down! |
|
| What
your clothes say about you
: |
| • |
Women
who dress in austere and
plain clothes are supposed
to be stern and cold, the
regular school ma’am types.
|
| • |
If
a woman wears outlandish
clothes, it apparently means
she's asserting her individuality.
|
| • |
Solid
colours are believed to
indicate a self-assured
and self-contained personality.
|
| • |
Stripes
are a mark of the ‘happy-go-lucky’
attitude. |
| • |
If
a woman prefers polka dots,
she might be considered
a hesitant and indeterminate
personality who tends to
mask her lack of self-confidence
with bravado and boastfulness.
|
| • |
Asymmetrical
cut is the choice of a woman
who is friendly by nature
but masks the friendliness
by adopting a surly and
sarcastic attitude. |
| |
|
| Fashion
at Work : |
| |
Does
fashion work for you? It
should. Maybe you're not
paying enough attention
to it. You need to make
sense of your dress sense.
You need to plan a wardrobe
for your workplace in order
to look your professional
best. No matter how good
you are at your job, you
need to look proficient
when you are at work. |
| |
|
| • |
If
you want to make it in the
corporate arena, pay careful
attention to the clothes
you wear and the visual
impact you have on others.
|
| • |
A
lack of professional attire
will have a negative impact
on your bottom line. If
you want to be treated as
a professional, you must
look like one too. |
| • |
The
importance of looking good
especially in today's global
culture has never had it
so good. Corporate dressing
has come of age everywhere. |
| • |
Our
physical appearance, our
words, and our actions express
to others the person we
are within. |
| • |
The
strongest personality indicator
is clothing because our
clothing reveals how we
think we look. Clothing
can be easily changed to
stress our strong points
and camouflage our weak
points. |
| |
|
| |
You
don't need to be fashionable,
but you just must be well
dressed when at work. |
