Beauty compulsory-dress properly

Many people, especially women, are strugling their lives to becoming more and more beautiful counting on fashionably dressed. They buy a latest dress with their whole month wage, shop all weekend for a suitable sweater for their dust coat. But it seems that many of them will never be satisfied, let alone others'.

So, how to dress to become a beauty? Here is some tips for you to retain the strengths and discard the weaknesses.

Large Hips: Draw attention away from childbearin' hips by wearing solid, deep colors on the bottom with light or bright colors on top. Instead of tapered leg jeans or pants, try relaxed fit bottoms with a bootcut leg. Stay away from garments that have excessive pockets or details at the hipline. Say no to straight skirts, opting instead for an A-line silhouette. Oh, and lest we forget, avoid pleats like the plague.

Small Bust: To appear a bit fuller on top, wear shirts that have details or pockets at the bustline. Layering is another strategy that works: Try a cute tank top under a cardigan or button-down shirt. Floaty, loose-fitting blouses are also an excellent choice, but be sure to avoid plunging necklines.

Large Bust: A little too well-endowed? Try open necklines like V-necks and U-necks. Super-clingy fabrics should be avoided, as should large patterns and prints. As far as sleeves go, opt for those that are long or elbow-length. Avoid short capped sleeves.

Broad Shoulders: If you have wide, strong shoulders, stay away from shoulder pads, boat necks, horizontal stripes and boxy sleeves. Try V-necks, which pull the eye down and away from the problem area.

Large Stomach/Waist: Avoid snug waistbands and the "tucked in" look if you're thick around the middle. Also stay away from straight skirts and fabrics that cling over the stomach. Dresses with empire waistlines are a good choice, as are graceful A-line skirts.

Too Short: Petite girls who wish to appear more elongated should try short skirts, clamdiggers and capri pants. Avoid busy prints and cuffed pants, and try not to chop up the body with contrasting bold colors. Stay away from garments that are bulky or oversized, such as puffy bubble jackets.

Too Tall: Don't hunch over! Tall women who want to de-emphasize their height can do so by wearing horizontal patterns, textured fabrics, and longer or flared skirts. Short skirts can work as well, especially when paired with knee-high boots.

Overall Heaviness: The hype is completely true: black is a very slenderizing color. Dark, solid colors tend to be quite slimming in general, but this certainly doesn't mean that larger girls should stay away from bright or light shades. Loud prints should be avoided at all costs, however, as should oversize "tentlike" clothes, which make it obvious that you're trying to hide something. Opt instead for well-fitting, tailored looks that cling in all the right places-but just not too tightly.

Anti-Valentine’s Day?

I've heard this from my brother who is on his twenties and some of my close male friends and even worse, my boyfriend(of course not derictly) . You probably think most of them are single and therefore, have a lot of hatred for Valentine's Day, uhah? The answer is absolutely not. I did some interview about this with them. Here is their idea: really like to see their girlfriends to be pretty, you know, dress nicely in a french restaraut with them on that special day for all lovers in the world. But they can't stop from thinking about what is the meaning of the Day and the Valentine Day's dress. They just don’t feel the need to go out and spend a bunch of money on flowers, candy, food, etc. Boys really like keeping things quiet and on a budget. On the other hand, really need a reason to go out and celebrate, to enjoy themselves together, maybe in a movie theatre or someplace nice... [caption id="attachment_186" align="aligncenter" width="300" caption="Valentine's Day"]

[/caption] Anyway, here comes the biggest problem, their dressing. Girls are the experts on fashion and dressing stuff, the same things will just easily make boys freak out. Polo-T shirts , jeans or suits? What on earth is the perfect Valentine’s Day dress for men? I, as a girl, haven't think enough about my own dressing, so have got no time to give them suggestions. So I am here to do them a favor to ask if any men here has started thinking about it and if yes, what have you got?

It is not Cardigan's Fault

We need a celebration, if you, a man, has survived high school, which, to our common sense, is a seemly endless disaster because of the cafeteria drama, patronizing teachers, and boring algebra textbooks etc. That's probably why men don't like cardigan, since nobody would like to be told to get back on the train to Charlotte Catholic.

So you think you are entitled to treat cardigans like your children? I mean, sometimes you cherish them, remember the time how you wish to be with them everyday? other times you just throw 'em in a pile at the back of a closet and forget their existence. [caption id="attachment_220" align="aligncenter" width="221" caption="cardigan"]

[/caption]

Oh no, man, don't be silly! Why on earth would that make any sense for you to do that? it is not cardigan's fault! Now it is time for you survivors to appreciate something like Abercrombie fitch cardigan, which is not loud, not gaudy, not to spur images of stuffy Bostonian prep boys. Just a comfy, smooth piece to help you get rid of the nightmare of sentimental and unconfident and get into the men's fashion of manture and self-assurance. Author: izzy from micsourcing.com

Hoodie is For Everyone

A wise man once said “I’m pretty sure there’s a lot more to life than being really, really good looking” (Derek Zoolander, 2001). After viewing those news related to hoodies, I would have to say that is false!!

The beautiful Beckhams made an appearance the other night at the David Beckham and James Bond Adidas Originals launch party in LA. David wore this casual but sporty gray pullover hoodie, which he matched with a collar shirt and tie.

Hugh's clean gray zip-up hoodie looks great with its white drawstrings. If the suave Hugh Jackman can wear a hoodie and still look classy, there is definitely hope for the rest of us! Obviously, hoodie is not for the individual, belonging from a specific class or profession, but it suits to all the individuals, no matter from which background or walk of life they belong. If you are wearing a hoodie, then you are all set to step out of your homes and you will see that people are really going to get impressed by you.

Which is More Difficult to Get, Woman or Jeans?

There are two things that always in fashion, woman and jeans. Admit it, man, they are also two of the most important things in your life. Some times, a perfect pair of jeans is more difficult to get, whether it’s the wash, fit, length or even the right fit with the right length. Here are some helpful tips for the perfect boot cut, skinny, and straight leg jeans.

1. Boot cut These jeans really elongate the legs. So wearing them high will make your body look disproportionate (you should not wear your jeans high up at the waist or too low below your butt; jeans should just hang on the hips, that is for all the fits). This fit should not suffocate the thigh because they do flare out, they should be loose but still fitted. The length should be long enough to cover the shoe but not drag on the floor and there should be a scrunch, like Abercrombie & Fitch. If not, it will make you look like a dork.

2. Skinny Skinny jeans should not be too tight nor too loose, hence the name. Unlike the other fits, these do not always need a scrunch. But they should cover your ankles. Also, you should not get jeans so tight that you are bulging out of the top your jeans and unable to move in them. If you are going to resort to women’s jeans, keep the pockets simple, such as Levi's. Keep the embellishments to the women (if they even prefer it). Also, skinny jeans are not for everyone. You should have a lean stature to pull these off.

3. Straight leg The most relaxed of the three. These are also the cut I find to be the trickiest fit. They can be straight on some but skinny on others. They tend to box out the body more when worn loose, but flatter when worn fitted. When searching for straight legs get the prefect length. The scrunch will give somewhat of an illusion of not being so straight. Make sure they are not too tight in the butt and thighs area, they need to be a perfect fit to achieve the perfect straight leg fit.

So when looking for the best jeans, make sure it fits on the hips but loose enough to just hang. The length should never be too short. It is better to get it too long and get them tailored, than walk around with visible socks. Simple is the key when it comes to jeans and that goes for everyone. Also, don’t follow trends. Just because someone is able to pull off a fit, doesn’t always mean you’ll look good in that fit too. Lastly, great jeans are everywhere, you don’t need to splurge for the perfect pair. When your jeans fit, you will always feel good about yourself. Partly reshipped from: blog.micsourcing.com Author: izzy from Micsourcing.com

What is the Most Affordable Fashion Style for You?

With the increasing popularity of fashion industry, many people have thrown themselves into the situation of spending money without limit. Compared with women's fashion, which has a longer history and wider persive, men's fashion seems to be much more expensive and sophisticated. It usually cost much more money and time. So here comes a question for all men in fashion: what is the most affordable fashion for you, in respect of both money and time?

I bet you are reluctant to admit it is T-Shirt. You doubt about your fashion tast when you wear nothing but T-Shirt, which seems to be a symbol of casual and informal. Well, it doesn’t mean that you have poor style. If you know how to wear t-shirts well, can keep them in good condition and will get rid of your older, more worn t-shirts, you can have great style for far less than many other types of clothing would cost.

1. If you only wear t-shirts, it’s important to keep them in good condition. With a worn, old t-shirt, it’s easy to look sloppy and far too casual for many situations. Keep your t-shirts in good condition by washing them only as often as you need to and using pre-treating stain removers to get out the worst stains. 2. Keep white t-shirts looking great by occasionally washing them with bleach. This will keep them looking bright white instead of getting dingy over time. Using some baking soda in the wash can also help them to look their best and whitest. If you sweat a lot, consider wearing a t-shirt under your white t-shirt to keep the underarm’s from looking yellowed and stiff. 3. Most t-shirts will last a long time and through many washes. By taking good care for t-shirt, it can last 50, 60 washes or more. However, there comes a time when a t-shirt should be discarded and replaced with a brand-new one. If your entire wardrobe is t-shirts, it’s a good idea to occasionally look through your shirts and make sure that they are all in good, wearable condition. If they have holes in them that are noticeable, it’s best to get rid of the shirt. If you have t-shirts that are stained and you’ve tried in vain to get the stains out with no success, it’s best to get rid of those shirts as well. 4. Just because you wear t-shirts only, it doesn’t mean that you always look casual. It’s easy to dress up t-shirts with a fitted blazer and a nice pair of pants. A t-shirt, slacks and a pair of high heels or dress shoes look dressy as well as being comfortable. Make sure to coordinate the color of your t-shirt, pants, jacket and shoes. Even if the shirt is in good shape, it will not look its best if it is worn with clashing colors. Stick with an overall group of colors in your outfit. For instance, an outfit can have an earth-tone theme with a green t-shirt, brown pants and dark brown shoes. Or, you can have a citrus theme with a yellow t-shirt, an orange skirt and yellow flats.

If you take some care with the way you look and you take good care of your t-shirts, you can have impeccable style while wearing nothing but t-shirts every day. You can be the envy of your friends because you always look so well put together without having spent a fortune and heaps of time on your wardrobe. With a little work, your style can easily rate a 10. Author: izzy from micsourcing.com Partly reshipped from: blog.micsourcing.com

Take Good Care of Your Fashion

As we discussed, shirt is the most affordable fashion for everyone, which donesn't necessarily mean that it is cheap and deserve no good care. In fact, you want to be able to wear that shirt over and over again, and get as much value out of it as possible. So there is no reason for you to treat your shirts any differently to any other expensive item you buy. Remember, a good shirt will last through many seasons and years if it is a classic style that transcends trends. [caption id="attachment_429" align="aligncenter" width="300" caption="how to roll shirt sleeves"]

[/caption] There are 4 main types of rolling/folding a shirt for a fashion look. I would recommended you check out the figures and descriptions below and prolong the lifetime of your shirts from today. Don’t throw money away, it can be better spent on another item for your wardrobe than replacing items you already own. Figure 1 With a long sleeve it’s better to fold than roll, stopping just below the angle of your elbow. It looks sharper and won’t crush your shirts fibres. [caption id="attachment_430" align="aligncenter" width="169" caption="CHECK SHIRT ROLL SLEEVES"]

[/caption] Figure 2 With short sleeves, rolling adds a classic bit of rock to your look. A couple of small turns will do – you don’t want to look like a sleeveless wonder after all. [caption id="attachment_431" align="aligncenter" width="293" caption="roll sleeve"]

[/caption] Figure 3 Under a blouson jacket is one of the coolest ways to fold your sleeves. With the cuff done up, push up the sleeves on the jacket to just below the elbow and then fold the sleeve until it covers the ribbing. [caption id="attachment_432" align="aligncenter" width="221" caption="shirt roll sleeves"]

[/caption] Figure 4 If that sounds like a lot of effort, then All Saints and a few other designers have started making pre-folded shirts which are normally held in place by a popper or small button. [caption id="attachment_433" align="aligncenter" width="235" caption="shirt roll sleeve"]

[/caption] By rolling or stuffing your shirt sleeves up – whether your just hot in the office or for a fashion look, you are damaging all the carefully crafted fibres in your shirt sleeves which gives your shirt it’s shape, colour and fit. Do this too many times and the fabric where you have rolled the shirt will become worn and thin (maybe producing holes or just a lousy fit) and you will have to replace it that much sooner.

To Keep in Elegant Style

The most elegant style for man is and will always be the polo shirt. I can’t remember the last time that polo was particularly big in men’s fashion, and I don’t really know what I feel about it at present, because it is always in fashion, just look at those elegant men around you. Polo hasn’t completely launched in a large scale within the shops yet, but there are definitely pieces filtering through from all the big fashion houses and what I have seen so far has been great. [caption id="attachment_456" align="aligncenter" width="240" caption="Ralph Lauren Polo"]

[/caption] To wear polo and carry it off, you definitely have to have some swag and be very confident in yourself. It’s a very metro sexual look and so if you are too much of a pretty boy then I would consider staying away, as you might give off the wrong impression. I think this look works very well on males who give off a very strong sexuality and those who have very manly features. If you pull of this properly, not only will you look on trend, but you will have women flocking and this is a personal guarantee. It oozes confidence in yourself and your style. [caption id="attachment_457" align="aligncenter" width="300" caption="Polo"]

[/caption] I would make the recommendation that you don’t go over the top with it. If you are going to rock the shirt and pull it off properly, wear muted trousers and shoes. You don’t need a jacket or anything else within your outfit to scream “look at me!”, because you will already be subtly different to 99% of the male population. [caption id="attachment_458" align="aligncenter" width="300" caption="Ralph Lauren Polo"]

[/caption] Ralph Lauren have REALLY got behind the trend right away with many of their shirts available already. As you know, they are great shirt designers and make quality garments, so these are perfect for this season as formal or casual wear. Remember you can rock this in the office on sunny days!

Keep in Style Out of Polo Shirts

There is probably no clothing that can be worn with greater ease and always keep in style than the polo shirt. These short sleeved collared shirts give style, sophistication, and comfort all at the same time. When considering what to wear with your polo shirt, just look in your closet and drawers because chances are you already have a number of different options just waiting to be discovered. [caption id="attachment_489" align="aligncenter" width="235" caption="POLO"]

[/caption] Polo shirts can be worn on a casual and a semi-formal basis and have you looking good for either occasion. Here are some ways that you can dress up your polo shirts: • Jeans: No matter what kind of jeans you like, a polo shirt will compliment them. If you are going for a more casual look then you will want to leave you polo shirt untucked and you can even wear a pair of flip-flops to really state your casualness. If however you want to be a bit on the dressier side then tuck in your polo shirt, wear a belt, and wear a nice casual pair of shoes but not sneakers. [caption id="attachment_490" align="aligncenter" width="300" caption="polo & jeans"]

[/caption] • Khakis: Khaki pants and a tucked in polo shirt are the perfect combination for your office ’s casual Friday. The fact that the polo shirt is collared still lends to the fact that it is somewhat formal, but at the same time it is short sleeved and therefore casual. It is a true win, win. Finish off the look with your regular dress shoes and you will be set for a casual day at the office or anywhere else you decide to go. [caption id="attachment_491" align="aligncenter" width="235" caption="Khaki-pants-and-polo-shirts"]

[/caption] • Shorts: Guys can be seen all over these days wearing cargo shorts and an untucked polo shirt. This look is usually finished off with a pair of flip-flops or sandals and because it is such a big casual statement it is the perfect opportunity to wear a baseball cap as well. The only time that you will want to tuck in your polo shirt with shorts on is if you are at the golf course, in which case you will be wearing a fancier golf style pair of shorts. [caption id="attachment_492" align="aligncenter" width="300" caption="shorts & polo shirts"]

[/caption] Polo shirts are great and chances are that you have one or two right now hanging in your closet. By mixing and matching them with other garment you already own, you can go out and about in complete comfort and style. Author: izzy from micsourcing.com

Your Best Dressed List?

Personally, the vampire in twilight is on the top of my list, and yes, I can see the sneer on your face, which says that how else can Robert Pattinson crack a best dressed list? Well, the “guy with the hair” suddenly became more interesting and maybe I had jumped to conclusions because I can’t stand anything to do with sexy Vampire movies! [caption id="attachment_538" align="aligncenter" width="279" caption="Robert Pattinson"]

[/caption] However, I don’t think the 23-year-old British actor’s hair was the only thing bringing him into the public eye. Just look at the images above, He has hit a lot of the major trends we saw last year on the head with everything from worker boots, chino’s, checked shirts/overshirts and even quilting. I think he has definitely become a role model to the younger generation who want an edgy and bang on trend style, which has been described as ‘emo and ’90’s grunge’ by many different magazines, he dresses his age when in casual situations but can also look very sharp when it comes to public appearances and premieres. [caption id="attachment_539" align="aligncenter" width="300" caption="mens shirt"]

[/caption] I would say that this is the type of guy who probably doesn’t have a stylist on a daily basis which makes his look even better in my eyes. He definitely seems to have effortless cool and a unconcern attitude which I think works in his own personal look. He knows and follows fashion a little more than he let’s on, but this is a prime example of dressing for YOU and pulling it off. He is never immaculately groomed and his outfits are never precise and carefully thought out, which makes them work. That is exactly why I put him on my top list. He feels comfortable and confident in his clothes and I would assume about himself as well. He might be the perfect example of the man making the clothes and not the other way around.

Can You Resist This Kind of Hot ?

Check shirts are causing a storm within men’s fashion and I couldn’t be happier if I am honest! I loved this trend last year, and think they have only gotten better since then. I love the roots from western films and the overall “worker” feel they have to them. Doesn’t get more manly than a check shirt and worker boots right?! [caption id="attachment_564" align="aligncenter" width="200" caption="check shirt & boots david"]

[/caption] As previously mentioned I think these do give off a very rugged and manly aura when you throw them on, especially the thicker versions and lumberjack over shirts you can get your hands on these days. I particularly like oversizing them and throwing them on over vests, t-shirts, and even lightweight knitwear to give your outfits some unusual and creative layering options. One of my favourite looks right now is to button it up to the top but leave the bottom half open with a graphic tee on underneath. Something slightly unusual when it comes to layering, but also an idea that will set you apart from the crowd. [caption id="attachment_565" align="aligncenter" width="356" caption="check shirts casual wear"]

[/caption] When picking a checked shirt don’t be afraid to go bold – I mean strong reds, blues and greens that really catch the eye. You can pull these colours off easily by just toning down the bottom half of your outfit and keeping it really simple. Think nice dark slim jeans and a simple pair of high tops. For those that want to go all out I would recommend a great thick pair of leather military boots in order to really nail down that strong “worker” vibe. A military jacket or a nice thick piece of chunky knitwear (plain colours) layered on top of the check shirt would also look great and really play on a couple of the biggest trends present this year.I think you should get involved early before the new season even kicks in.

All Buttoned Up Shirts

For the past few years now guys have been flashing our chests with no regard for how well we can realistically pull it off. It may be the colder weather drawing in on us, or just urge for change, but guys everywhere are now saying no to man-cleavage and are embracing buttons. [caption id="attachment_589" align="alignleft" width="408" caption="Buttoned Up shirts"]

[/caption] For the easiest example, take the basic checked shirt that has dominated our wardrobes for the past couple of years (and more than ever this season) and do up all the buttons – to the top now lads – and you have totally reinvented a shirt for this season. And not a penny spent. Do up all five buttons on one of their basic grandad or y-neck T-shirts to create a totally new look. Shirts Obviously you can button up any item right to the top. Works with formalwear, casual check shirts, denim, unusual collars and hooded varieties. You do not have to wear a tie or bow tie with a formal shirt buttoned to the top, on it’s own it is a smart enough look already and it can be matched with braces or geek specs for a great chic look. Shirts with detailing incorporated into the actual shirt are also great ways to add some flair whilst still keeping a simple buttoned up style. [caption id="attachment_590" align="aligncenter" width="217" caption="Buttoned Up Shirt"]

[/caption] T-shirts As the article mentioned, grandad t-shirts and y-neck t-shirts can be worn like regular tees with every button done up. It gives off a slightly smarter look and feel than a basic crew neck, whilst still remaining firmly casual in appearance. [caption id="attachment_591" align="aligncenter" width="300" caption="Buttoned Up T-Shirt"]

[/caption] Polo Shirts Work just as well as shirts buttoned up to the top for a smarter look. Again you can add braces, geek specs and even skinny ties with them to add some flair. [caption id="attachment_592" align="aligncenter" width="230" caption="Buttoned Up Lacoste Polo"]
