If you are a tall woman, you know how difficult it can be to find clothes that fit. Before you resign yourself to jumping off the fashion train due to all the small and uncomfortable styles, read these tips. You’ll be surprised at how simple it is to find clothes that not only fit well but look great, too.

There are a lot of great things about being a tall woman. You can wear wide belts with confidence. You can wear horizontal stripes and textured patterns without appearing squat. You can also easily adapt most popular runway styles, since they are designed for tall women.

The main problem with shopping for a tall frame is finding pants that fit. Pants with more than a 32-inch inseam are sometimes hard to come by. If you’re having trouble finding pants in your size, either try the men’s department or shop in a tall woman’s boutique for specific pieces.

A lot of fashion guides give tips to tall women that try to camouflage their height, such as wearing flat shoes. The only problem is that these tips often work in the opposite way. Instead of trying to hide your tallness, why not embrace it? If you choose clothes that flatter your stature and don’t try to hide your height, you will be more confident and carry yourself to your full height.

Emphasize Your Height
If you want to make the most of your extra inches and select outfits that emphasize your long physique, try these tips:

*Long dresses and monochromatic outfits emphasize length. A solid color or pattern from your shoulders to your ankles makes you look long and lean.

*Choose pants without cuffs. Cuffed pants can truncate your legs and make them appear shorter.

*Avoid large patterns. If you have to wear a pattern, make sure that it’s small in size and is a color on color pattern.

*Vertical stripes and tailored darts make you look taller.

*Long scarves and necklaces give you a long and lean look. Sweep your hair up, don high heels and shoes with some interesting details to make yourself look even taller.

De-emphasize your Height

If, on the other hand, you want to play down your height a bit, follow these tips:

*Wear separates. When you wear tops and pants in different colors, it will break up the length in your body. The top half and the bottom half of your body will appear like two different sections instead of one long column.

*Wear pants that have cuffs. Your legs will look shorter if your pants end with a cuff.

*Look for a mixture of colors for your wardrobe. Black and dark colors make you look taller, so if you try a variety of colors you’ll eliminate the illusion.

*Choose shoes with flat heels. Everyone knows that heeled shoes make you taller. With today’s popular styles like ballet flats, you’ll be able to look fashionable without adding extra inches to your stature.

No matter how you choose to deal with height you can find clothes and accessories that will accomplish the look you are after.

With the coming of the new year, also comes new trends in fashion and as we say good-bye to all that was in 2010 (a lot of hot pants, knee high socks, lace, leather and cut out clothing) we now say hello to the fashion trends and tips for 2011. Below are our top 10 tips for best fashion advice that can be given to anyone during any time of the year.

1. Choose the clothes that suit your body
No matter what trendsetting or fashion forward clothing you purchase if it will not compliment your body-then you’d better put it back on the store rack!

2. On Jewelry: Less is not always more
(For Men) You must not over accessorize, do not wear more than 3 pieces of jewelry. Silver is becoming popular these days so you might want to invest.
(For Women) Less is not always more especially during the summer, you can accessorize you summer outfits with big and bold accessories. Wooden beads and citrus colored bangles are a good sight during the summer.

3. In the winter: Accessorize!
During the cold weather add a little pop of color to the weather, you can accessorize with sweaters and scarves, ensure it matches your outfit though! Try to mix and match things, if you are wearing tight fitting jeans then a big sweater will be a good contrast and will compliment your slender legs.

4. Keep your shoes and belts looking brand new:
Shoes and belts can catch the eye of other people so make sure that you invest in a good pair of shoes and a nice belt and make sure that they are regularly kept clean and shiny – there’s nothing worse than a pair of muddy boots combined with a smart dress!

5. If you look the part then you have to smell the part.
There is no use in looking great if you smell something like the cat dragged in. So if you take time and invest in what you will be wearing and what you will look like then make sure that you throw in some good perfume, cologne or after-shave.

6. Skinny jeans are still in!
Yes! Skinny jeans are still in! Especially with Katy Perry singing “Let you put your hands on me In my skin-tight jeans”, so don’t throw out your skinny jeans yet! Nothing is as complimentary as a good pair of high-waisted, ankle exposing, skinny jeans.

7. The Ballerina is on center stage! Read the rest of this entry »

Mixing and matching is a personal choice, you create your very own style!

Well, let’s get to understand and have fun with colors

White

A popular color in Fashion. Light and neutral, it goes well with any color.

Considered a summer color, a good choice for tops. Always have some in your wardrobe. It readily matches bottoms of any color; a pair of blue denim jeans, Khakis pants, a gray skirt, a bright colorful beach bermudas? You name it!

Associated with cleanliness and purity, innocence and gentleness…, it gives you a feeling of freedom and uncluttered openness. Women just always look that lovely in their snowy white wedding gown, don’t they?

Tips: add a little touch of white to brighten or lighten up your mood Eg. a white tank top with blue denim jean, white cotton jacket over a hot pink velour smocked baby doll dress or a simply all white for a simple breezy look

Black

A popular color in Fashion, always stylish and never out of trend

A good choice for bottoms. Directly opposite of white, it readily matches tops of any colors. Nonetheless, it is also a popular choice for tops, making the wearer appearing slimmer. A great complementary color for accessories like a pink sparkling evening bag, a diamond necklace…

A mysterious color, it gives you a feeling of perspective and depth. Symbolizing elegance and refinement, it is always regarded as a prestigious color.

Tips: pair up black with other dark colors for an attractive mature look Eg. a brown wool button front cardigan with black pinstripe bootcut pants, gray tweed cropped blazer with black stretch pintuck pencil skirt

Red

An expressive color extensively use in Fashion.

Most visible and lively of all colors, it creates attraction and excitement. The wearer naturally portraits an image of excitable, energetic, enthusiasm and confidence. Nonetheless, it also suggests an erotic feeling, a lady in red?

A physically inspiring color often associated with vitality and ambition, love & passion.

Tips: pair up red with colors within the red family itself for various moods Eg. a red retro style tee with maroon pleated skirt, hot pink cotton v-neck tank with red fleece collegiate mini skirt

Yellow

A color commonly use in Casual Fashion.

Similar to red, it creates attraction and excitement. However it suggests a more fun and sunshine mood. The wearer tends to bring about amusing cheeriness to the group. Usually liked by those who embrace changes.

The color of sunshine, often associated with joy, liveliness and optimism.

Tips: pair up yellow with dark or lucid cool colors for a striking youthful look Eg. a yellow ruched halter top with black wool full skirt, yellow roll edge t-shirt with turquoise polka dot tiered mini skirt

Blue

A popular color liked by most

Emotionally opposite of red & yellow, it brings about a very soothing & relaxing feel, pleasant to the eyes. Naturally refreshing in mood, it’s a good choice for daytime wear.

The color of summer skies and the sea, often associated with calmness, affection, idealism and inspiration.

Tips: match blue with white for a refreshing and sporty look Eg. a bright blue cotton v-neck hoodie with white stretch cotton studded pants, white terry track jacket with pale blue faded jean

Pink

A feminine color for girls

Similar to blue, it’s soothing and pleasant to the eyes. Naturally sweet in mood, it has a lasting girly appeal. Girls in pink tend to portrait a very sweet & pleasant image, always attractive to the guys.

The color of cotton candy, often associated with warm, everlasting affection & tender love

Tips: add a little pink to bring out the feminine touch Eg matching your black satin strapless sash dress with a pink crocodile clutch, pink collar tee with black stretched cotton cropped pant

Well, there are simply too many colors if I were to go on. I believe you should now have a feel of how matching of colors can be of so much fun? In simple, just play by the color rules:

1. Stick to one color (all white, blue, red…)

2. Hot goes with cool (match yellow with green or blue not with red, it might be too hot!)

3. Use neutral colors to draw the looks together (white, gray, beige and black are good neutral colors)

4. Play around with color of the same family (pink with maroon, sky blue with navy blue…)

Remember, you create your very own style. Have fun!

Yes, it’s a glorious time of year, but if you’re like me, it also comes with a slight sense of anxiety. You worry that your clothes from last year will have lost their luster, that the spring colors this year will be different, or that this season’s trends will make it necessary to buy a whole new wardrobe. And that’s always bad news.

But things aren’t so bad.

So, in other words, you don’t have to go out and spend a million dollars on a whole new wardrobe. You might need a few updates, but things are mostly the same.

With that good news in mind, here are some useful spring fashion tips for Read the rest of this entry »
