Fashion: What to wear and what not to wear - Jacqueline Sarah Rozario

Every women/girl wants to look good with the clothes they wear. Picking the right clothes to match your assets is the key. Here’s to help make all women fashionably stylish, regardless of their shape, height or age.

What clothes would suit your assets
       
* If you have a short wide neck *
What to wear: Wear tops that are open at the neck and not tops that are high or round at the neck. It would help by making the neck look slim and lengthened.

What not to wear: Do not wear turtle neck tops. It will make you look like you have no neck at all and it may also make you look a little more plump-ish.
     
* If you have a round tummy or one that you’re not happy with*
 What to wear: Wear wrap-around tops or textured fabrics. Wear soft, forgiving fabrics that don't cling to the tummy so it won’t emphasize on your tummy much. Low waisted trousers make stomachs look smaller.

What not to wear: Don’t wear high-waisted belts or belted jackets because it would emphasize on your tummy more and would make you look pregnant. Fitting tops are also a big no.

* If you are short *
What to wear: It is better to wear full length trousers. Skirts and trousers with high waistbands make your legs look longer too. Create the illusion of height by wearing a top and bottom of the same colour, drawing the eye up and down.

What not to wear: Avoid three-quarter length trousers because they make your legs look shorter. Also, avoid big chunky tops that widen because it would make you look shorter instead of lengthening.


Part 2

Choosing the right pair of shoes

* If you have thick ankles*
What to wear: Wear strapless sandals or heels so it won’t emphasize on the ankles so much.

What not to wear: Don’t wear delicate, strappy heels, ballerina-style shoes or ankle straps which cut across the ankle.

*What pair of heels matches the colour of your clothes*
What to wear: If you are wearing some bright or light colored clothes, preferably use a pair heel of matching color. It will look best with a matching pair of heels.

What not to wear: Never wear a black pair of heels with bright or light colored clothes because it wouldn’t look stylish enough and may spoil the image of the outfit of yours.

*The right pair to match your height*
What to wear: If you are short do wear high heels. 4 to 5inches high heels wouldn’t matter much and would only make you look taller and slimmer too.

What not to wear:  Do not wear too high of heels if you are already tall. It would make you look extra tall and it may look a little hideous at times. At certain occasions it could be fine but not for an everyday  and night use.
