14 FASHION TIPS AND TRICKS
THAT EVERY GIRL SHOULD KNOW
Every girl loves to look put together. She likes to be seen as if
she has put much thought into her clothing, even though
that might not necessarily be the case. She needs to look
well-appointed and expensive. It’s not about putting on a
Gucci skirt or having a Channel bag to look well-dressed. Today,
we get to acquire tips and tricks that can be applied on
everyday look without putting much draining in the pocket.
1. Dressing your body is the best advice anyone can contribute.
There is a reason why certain clothing items look better on
you. Based on your body contour, an outfit will highlight your
body at the factual places. It is important to know whether
you are an hourglass shaped lady so that you can wear outfits
that highlight your waist, a lady with the inverted triangle
shape, will look her finest when she wears outfits that draw her
away from her far-reaching shoulders. For a banana shaped
lady, outfits that create an illusion of a more defined waist will
make you look like a million bucks. Pear shaped ladies should
put more emphasis on their upper body by wearing exiting
colors. For a rectangle shaped body, you should devote more on
belts so that you can define your waist. Spoon shaped ladies
bring more attention to their waist. The diamond shaped lady
should wear bottoms that lengthens her body. Every lady with
a circle body shape, should bring attention to her best areas
by wearing empire dresses to define the narrowest part of the
upper body hence camouflaging the stomach area.
2. We, daughters of eve, are considered to be irrational
buyers. Meaning we buy items not for the reason that we
need them but because we want them. There is a very thin
line between a need and a want. It is tempting for any girl
to purchase for an outfit just because it’s on sale without
considering whether you will end up wearing it and the
times you will wear. It is then, important to consider the cost
per wear before making a purchase. This is by calculating
the price of the outfit divided by the times that you plot on
wearing it. Only buy clothes that you will actually wear other
than sighting for a nice tank top yet you have nothing in your
closet to wear it with. You should also put into thought how
you spend your time so that you can purchase for attires
that you will often wear.
3. Every girl should care for her clothing to certify it looks el
egant. This gives you assertiveness and confident whenever
you go. It also helps you to keep your clothes longer.
Washing your clothes is also a care that should be adopted.
Pay attention to the symbols on the attires because they
guide you on how to care for your garments such as how to
iron them, dry them, name them. The colder the better- cold
water preserves color and prevents your fabric from poten
tially shrinking. Heat damages your fabrics. Use detergents
that are gentle to your various categories of your garments.
Wrinkles are a dead weight to your clothing, it is advisable to
either steam your clothes or iron them. By doing so, it gives
your garments a settle way that people won’t exactly be
able to tell as to what makes you look good.

4. You should be careful with prints and structures when
you wear them. Don’t be too loud by overdoing your
dressing. For tall and slender females, it is better you focus
on wearing horizontal prints because they balance your
size and height while as for those who are short and polar,
vertical prints will work good on you. The key to looking
good in your attire is to balance off your body by
camouflaging the body parts you don’t want noticed and
accentuate the body parts you want to show off. About
Structures, make sure your bottom garments are tight
when your top garments are loose and vice versa. Open
dresses on top should be longer while closed dresses on
top look much better when they are shorter. When you do
both, it looks too vulgar.
5. Clothes can soak up dirt when they have not been worn
for a long time or when exposed to sweat and this forces
you to throw away your favorite clothes. Thankfully, there
are tricks based on natural ingredients that will solve your
problem in few minutes, these includes, white wine
vinegar, use cold air (by refrigerating), baking soda, tee tree
oil, lemon juice, and orange peel. Furthermore, they have a
softening effect on clothes after using them. Because, you
don’t want to go to the office with a bad odor, the other
trick is to put a little bit of vodka into your spray and spray
the entire outfit. The good thing about vodka is that it can
also be used to take the edge off when you’ve had a bad
day.
6. You might be owning a good looking jeans but it has
not been worn for some time now just because the zipper
misbehaved and decided it will not stay up. I mean, you
only got one job zipper. It’s time for you to shine and rock
your jeans by simply using a key ring and attach it to the
zipper before buttoning your pants. This gives you extra
added security and when you are secure, you are
confident.
7. Adding small details to your look elevates your style. It is
important to match your metals with your clothing. When
you know the outfit you plan on wearing is conspicuous,
it’s best you match it with metals that are silent and the
vice versa applies. Wear earrings that match your bracelet
and a necklace that goes well with your ring or any
alternative metal you might be Wearing-Three or Four
things in one look is just too much and you don’t want to
draw too much attention from your attire, do you?
8. We all remember the panties that our lovely mothers
used to buy for us. I mean, they were comfortable and we
never had anything against them since our bodies were not
developed. They go by the name, High cut brief, control
brief, boy brief, name them. Those panties used to cover
everything but now, when we are women, they are not
suitable for our bodies and putting these kind of under
wares diminishes your feminine charm. The solution to this
is to wear slim less that do not have any panty line. G strings,
thongs or even body shapers will give you an hour glass
shape.
