SENSE OF DRESS

Do you know what makes a woman the centre of all attention? Answer is her clothes. You may have a very beautiful face, but if you are not neatly, elegantly and suitably dressed for the occasion, no one going to give you a second look. I believe that it is the inherent desire of every woman to be the focus of many adoring eyes and her happiness increases when she believes that she is looking beautiful and this in turn gives her confidence in herself and increases her attractiveness.

It is not difficult to be well-dressed and sophisticated. You must learn to dress with taste and imagination and wear clothes that suit you, instead of following the fashion blindly. The selection of fabrics and colors should suit your personality and complexion. Never choose a color because it is in fashion or because it suits your friends. No matter what color you choose, it should always flatter you complexion. And never distort your self-coloring. Besides choosing the right shade, see that the clothes you wear fit you nicely. It is much better to have a few well-fitting dresses, then a wardrobe full of unwanted dresses.

Keep the clothes you have well-starched, well perfumed and scented with your favorite perfume. Buy your clothes selectively. Go in for fabrics sold by well-known stores and shops although clothes sold by these shops may cost more, but you can be sure that the fabrics they sell will have fast colors, will be extremely versatile, will be crease resistant. Besides you have the choice of selecting from many attractive colors and designs.

Try to create the impression of having lots of clothes by wearing them by rotation, in this way you will be known as a woman who has plenty of tastefully designed clothes in her wardrobe. The color of clothes that we choose to wear also depicts our personality and can actually alter our mood. Red color tends to make the body tense while blue tends to relax the body. Red color excites us while blue tends to make us dull. Pink is warm and romantic while yellow is stimulation and inspiring. So, depending on your moods and the kind of place you are visiting, you should choose the color of your dress.

Buy clothes which are suitable for wearing the whole year round. For example, during the rainy season, the clothes you choose to wear should not soak up water easily and even if they do, they should dry up quickly without losing shape. Cottons and silks are not for this season, because they not only soak up water avidly but become limp when they dry and lose their crease and shape completely. Synthetics like nylon, terelene, polyester, rayon and other man made fibers are ideal for this season because they resist creasing, dry up fast and regain their original shape when dry. Hot season is the season when you should play it real cool. Nylons, georgettes and heavy silks should be stored away and instead you should bring out soft and wispy chiffons, cool and crisp organdies, American georgettes and terene blend voils in softest of shades. The cold weather is for warm fabrics like nylons, silks, woollen garments and knitted fabrics. Therefore, when planning your wardrobe always keep the seasons in mind. Also when you go out, wear clothes which are suitable for the occasion. Pastel shades should be kept for the mornings and dark shades should be reserved for the evenings. For the same reason dark shades should be worn during the grey days of the rainy season and cold winter days and soft shades during the hot weather. A profusion of loud colors used indiscriminately will stamp you as an ill-dressed woman. You need not be a beauty queen to appear pleasing and draw attention to yourself. All you need to be the centre of attraction is to be well-dressed. With good dress sense you will not only draw attention to yourself, but you will also gain confidence at the same time.
