Women's Clothing - Today's Fashions

Today's clothing can express and represent a woman's body confidence and also make her all the more stylish and glamorous. Learn the lessons of women's clothing and the cardinal rules of dressing up in relation to your body shape.

1. The Summer style

The heat is on! Pull on your khakis and that plain shirt? Oh, don't even try to! Plain tees are too boring to beat the heat. Summer is all about kooky pattern mixes, wild and exotic colours. Try on some batiks, embroidered fabric tops, uniquely patterned skirts, or clothes that are rich in pretty, coloured ruffles. If you want to still stick with your jeans, pair it up with off-the-shoulder tunic as a cover up.

2. The Simple but elegant style

Dressing up sexily does not always mean micro-mini-skirts and super-tight-tube-tops. Try on the sassy classic look. Make it loose, not tight. Full-skirted, not gripping. Try the looseness of a longer, full-skirted dress that goes with your height, and don't be afraid to stand out. Skinny and tall women will look good in belted dresses with stiff pleats that are a great forties look.

3. Cheer up style

Who says only the kids can dress sweet and funky? Deduct 8 to 10 years from your real age with colourful, swooshy dresses that will also make you feel like dancing the Mary Poppins' way. It's OK to dress sweet and funky as long as you know where to wear it and the right accessories to go with it.

4. One of a kind find

The perfect way to make a fashion statement is to try on clothing that is hot and seems uniquely yours. Charity and retro shops are perfect places to make such finds. Floral patterns and metal studs are classic embellishment combos to unusual fabric.

5. Shape up!

Covering up isn't flattering, and broad expanses of fabric emphasise body shape and size. Bare backs, knee-length or shorter skirt, v-neck tops and three-quarter sleeve t-shirts will help you show off your shape to its maximum potential. With women's clothes, the most flattering are straight leg- or boot-cut jeans that will sit on your hips, your waist or just below your hip-bone. And remember that full, round shapes on top and bottom will make you look a bit more round.

6. Red alert!!!

In every woman's clothing diary of style, red is a classic colour that never bores. It embodies power, bold confidence and certified trickery for figure-flattering because of its deeper-hued incarnation. Also, it has an amazing power to absorb light and conceal darkness.

7. Wear Black when you're in doubt

True enough, black makes everyone look slimmer. It is the safest colour to be in. Take note of this, black will never fade in the language of fashion, especially with women's clothing.

8. Look great in a shift

Shift dresses has a slimming effect because they are constructed with darts at the bust line and seams that enhances curve and waist-shape. Most shift dresses are either knee length or shorter. But both lengths give the same universal slimming effect.

There you have it. I hope I've given you some useful tips and lessons on women's clothing. So, dress and feel good at any size!
