Dress Based on Body Shape

With the wedding season upon us, many of us may have to go dress shopping in the coming weeks. This time, however, I'm not talking about fashionable day dresses, maxi dresses or trendy satin frocks, but

rather about buying a more "classical" dress for a rather more formal wedding. Of course, nothing prevents you from wearing whatever clothes you feel most comfortable in, however, there are circumstances in which we can't exactly dress as if we were going to party all night in a fashionable uptown club and need a more discreet but equally flattering and stylish dress to make us look fabulous.

So, why not go for a classic little black dress? Or any other "real" dress for that matter, one that we can dress up or down by playing with various accessories, and which is not made from stretchy fabrics such as Lycra or spandex. Go for a medium-weight structured dress made from wool, cashmere, silk or even linen, and you'll be surprised at how well it will withstand the test of time, being the perfect canvas on which to build a glamorous "wedding guest" look. And finally, don't chose a dress that's too long or a mini dress, as they go in and out of fashion all the time, while a dress with a hemline that hovers just above or below the knee is timelessly elegant.

It's essential to select your classic party dress based on your body shape. Focus on the proportion between hips, waist and shoulders. If your shoulders are wider than your hips (this look can be associated with a more ample bust as well), chose a dress with a draped top and a pencil skirt-type lower half, that will compensate for your heavier upper half and enhance your hips and legs. Avoid plunging necklines, as they will place too much emphasis on your already heavier torso. If your body has a rectangular shape and there is small difference between your waist and your hips, you need a dress which creates the illusion of a more feminine silhouette. Chose an empire dress with a scoop or V-neckline that emphasizes the lower part of your ribcage and "raises" your waist.

If your hips are wider than your shoulders and you have a slim torso, the most flattering dress will be one which enhances the bust line. Go for a dress with a fitted top and a straight or even slightly cloche bottom half which skims your hips and thus minimizes and straightens out the natural roundness in a pear-shaped body. Finally, if your body is hourglass-shaped and you have a well defined waist with proportional upper and lower halves, a V neck cut suits you best. Choose a dress with a fitted top, a high waist and which flares gently wider toward the bottom, skimming your hips. Take time selecting the appropriate dress and don't be afraid to pay a little bit more for a good-quality model, since a classic-cut dress will hold for years, as long as you accessorize it smartly.

Chose Your Fashion Style

Choosing the right fashion for oneself is a pretty complicated matter. In fact, it can be compared to some of the more complicated things in life. The term clothing can be attached to a wide range of things including apparel. From clothes to various accessories, alltogether are termed as clothing.

But deciding on the best fashion for oneself isn't all that difficult. With a little planning and such, one can get a whole new look - your own makeover. As Yves Saint Laurent rightly points out, 'Fashions fade, style is eternal', one should try to cater more to the styles than the current fads and fallacies.
Quality and Durabilty
Though fashion keeps changing now and then, there are certain qualities that are certain things that remain untouched - Quality and Durability. It isn't always necessary that one will get these advantages only in ultra-expensive apparel stores, but expensive clothes are more often of high quality and durability. One has to be very lucky to get quality clothing from sales and non-branded retailers.
Also, branded clothiers and retailers have taken care to keep the people who accuse them of daylight robbery at bay. The cut and feel of expensive clothes are vastly better than economical clothes. Also, the designs, fittings and patterns of these expensive clothes are better than economical clothes.
Therefore, it is always suggested to invest a proper amount into a small sized branded wardrobe than a huge non branded wardrobe. Also, to quote Giorgio Armani, 'The difference between style and fashion is quality'.
What and When
To decide what fashion is best for oneself, one should first think about your profession, lifestyle and social standing in life. However, breaking the rules and being a rebel has its own charm and excitement too. For example, someone turning up to a board meeting in rag tag jeans and a Bahamas beach shirt can mean many things - either they own the company, their next job is all set, or they don't actually care getting a sack letter soon.
But seriously, choosing the right fashion would also depend on the occasion. A business meeting would require something entirely different than a casual beach shack hangout.
The change evident in a man when he wears a good quality suit is legendary. Sharply cut dresses for a woman also changes her entire being for the moment. People of short stature should stay away from prints, because it makes them seem shorter than they already are. Next
