Womens Fashion
Women,
in many ways, have a great advantage in the world of fashion - while
men are generally limited to trousers and blue jeans or the occasional
kilt (except perhaps at fancy dress parties), womens
fashion can be from dress trousers, blue jeans, long skirts,
short skirts and dresses both dressy and casual. Women can get away
with almost whatever fashion they're most comfortable with.
On the downside, it sometimes seems as though women's fashions
change so often you don't even get the chance to wear out your old
clothes, before the magazines tell you it's time to buy a new wardrobe.
Often, it might seem like there is not way to be both thrifty and
stylish in the ever-changing world of womens fashion. But if you're
careful with the clothes you choose, you can not only fill a wardrobe
with always-in classics, but choose a few blouses
and accessories from one year to the next to keep your classic pieces
looking very up to date.
Of all the items of womens clothing,
blue jeans are one of the most versatile wardrobe pieces you can
buy. Although they change fashions almost as quickly as anything
else, you can safely ignore any sudden bell bottom or low-rise or
bleached out trends that come along, in favor of keeping a couple
pairs of properly fitted, straight or slightly flared leg jeans.
Mens jeans are cut with a lower waistline than "traditional"
women's jeans as well, so that's an option for finding a happy medium
on the current low-waisted trend.
The iconic Little Black Dress
did not become a stereotype for no good reason. Finding a simple,
not-too-long, not-too-short black dress is almost a must for the
basic women's wardrobe. You can dress it up with
a fancy cardigan, go casual with a simple jacket, wear sheer stockings
or opaque tights, with flat shoes or heels, pearls or a simple chain
and pendant, or just about anything else. A classic black dress
can go from the office to a romantic dinner by pulling your hair
back and changing your lipstick.
Every woman should have a couple pairs of nice dress slacks, and
simple skirts as well. With the addition of a few neutral-colour
blouses, a black knit shirt or two, and a selection of jackets and
jumpers for any weather, your basic wardrobe is complete. Now all
you need to do to stay current with women's fashions is to look
out for stylish jewelry, shoes, pick up a few colorful blouses each
year to pair with your basic wardrobe, and perhaps find a good reason
to pick up a new pair of shoes now and then.
If
your basic wardrobe choices agree with your personal sense of style,
and you pick your 'fashionable' accessories and underwear
well, you'll soon have an individual fashion to call your own. Although
you won't look totally out of touch, you'll also never look like
you're desperately trying to copy a magazine. And a confident woman
with her own sense of style always makes a good impression.
