How to Buy Mens Overcoat- Some Tips!

2011-12-23T15:01:00.000+05:30

With winters in full swing, men too need to have proper winter clothing to protect themselves. A men's overcoat is the best winter clothing for those places which experience extreme cold. However, the right selection of mens overcoat can only ensure a warm protection. Lets get some tips on how to buy mens overcoat!

Length of mens overcoat can be found in two variations- full and three-fourth of full length. A full mens overcoat looks better on men, particularly older or taller men.
Younger men, however, look better in an overcoat with ¾ length. These types of mens overcoat can reach anywhere in the range of the wearer's knee and trousers' pockets.
There are basically two styles or designs in mens overcoats- single breasted coats and double breasted coats. Single breasted coats are the classic ones and can be worn without thinking about the fashion of the day!
The double breasted overcoats cater to the needs of young generation who want to wear trendy clothes.
Overcoats with belt should be preferred mostly by those men who are very slim.
The classic colors of overcoats for men include such colors as black, charcoal and navy blue and can be worn as formal wear too. However, young people can choose other trendy colors too but then they depend upon the seasonal demands and might not be worn after a couple of years.
Mens overcoats are generally made with wool and cashmere though other fabrics are not very uncommon. Cashmere overcoats are warmer and better looking but a little expensive than the wool overcoats. Those who can't afford to spend much on cashmere coats can always buy overcoats made of a blend of wool and cashmere!
When buying overcoat, men should try it by wearing over a sweater or jacket to get the perfect fit. When trying in this manner, the overcoat should feel comfortable and should not restrict the wearer's movement.
Enough and big pockets should be there in a men's overcoat. They give style and functionality to the garment.
Check for any lining defects like exposed linings, loose threads and loose buttons when buying a quality overcoat.
It is always better to buy classic designs and colors of overcoats because they cost a lot and one cannot buy them in every season. If more trendy overcoat is bought then it might lay closed in cupboard once the fashion becomes outdated.
If someone does not get satisfied while buying a ready made overcoat regarding its fit and comfort, it is always better to get a custom tailor made overcoat.

Fashion accessories too play a big role in lending or snatching away your professional looks along with the office ladies wear. For example, while it is desirable to wear jewelry, the loud ones will mkae you look more unprofessional. So, wear such jewelry as stud earrings or single bracelets instead of danglers or an armful of bangles.

Carry a sober yet stylish handbag. Wear comfortable and fashionable footwear but not those which gives a party look. It is also important to be neat and clean with manicured nails, clean shoes, neat hair etc.

Be Attentive to Colors and Fits of Women Office Wear

Mix traditional office colors with feminine hues to grant you the right combination for professional look. Working ladies wear traditional colors like navy, gray and black, and even sober red. Mix them with softer colors like ice blue, lilac, soft pink and ivory either by way of clothing or through accessories.

Well tailored dresses too are must for office wear. Your pants, for instance, must be fitted but not so much that they could show off the panty lines. Skirts must also be loose enough to make you comfortable while you sit in your office chair. Jackets and blouses should be well buttoned and you must also avoid very low necklines.

The secret for proper ladies wear for office lies in the fact that they have to lend you the professional look but its not essential that they can't be fashion wear! You yourself have to find the right balance. Get many more ideas about women work clothes as well as ladies fashion wear here at Women Fashion Wear!

For most kinds of skirts, it is just all right to keep the fashion top over it untucked, especially when it is a form fitting top that defines your waist properly.
For pencil skirts, a sweater top or a button down top tucked within looks good. Longer voluminous tops can also be worn but with caution.
Caution can be exercised either by layering or by using a belt. For layering, a jacket can be used over the top. The untucked long top can be belted to give it a more form fitting look.
Slim cut V neck T-shirts look good with A-line skirts as they accentuate your waistline well. Avoid wearing bulky and/or flowery tops with these a-line ones as they tend to make you look more heavier than you are. A short-sleeve casual jacket also look good with it. If you wish to wear a loose fit shirt, you might want to add a belt at your waist too!
If wearing mini skirt, you can pair it with T shirt and tank tops for more casual appearance. For a more elegant look, try wearing it with a blazer or a jacket.
As maxi skirt already has much volume, you can tone it down by pairing it with a cropped sweatshirt.
With a high waisted maxi skirt, you can wear a cropped top to get a chic look.
For a very glamorous look, you might like to wear a bold, slim skirt paired with a fitted tee. Watch out for color combination though- contrasts will go well.
Bodycon (short for 'body conscious') skirts are very tight bandage style skirts. So you have to be extra cautious while pairing them.

You have a normal skin type if there is no signs of oiliness or dryness.
You have an oily skin type if even when you cleanse your skin, it has excess oil.
You have a combination skin type if some areas are oily & some areas are dry.

Skin Care Cosmetic Products for Dry Skin- This type of skin doesn't produce enough sebum or natural oil and thus causes skin to flake off or feel tight and itchy. As it is more prone to produce wrinkles and lines, you must select such skin care products that add extra hydration to your skin like emulsion cleanser and moisturizers.

Skin Care Cosmetic Products for Oily Skin- Here there is over secretion of sebum causing the skin to attract dirt and dust. As it is prone to breakouts, you must select skin care products that keep your skin thoroughly cleansed and free of toxins. So, choose face wash with oil control formula and moisture balance creams.

Skin Care Cosmetic Products for Normal Skin- Usually this type of skin doesn't need much of cosmetics and you just require to give gentle care to it. You must select such skin care products that are not overly hydrating. So, choose, gentle foaming cleanser and SPF 15 defense cream.

Skin Care Cosmetic Products for Combination Skin- If you have a mixed skin type, you might have an oily T-zone (forehead, nose and chin area) and dry or normal skin in other areas on the face. You must select skin care products made without harsh ingredients.

Why Women Cosmetics are Important?

2011-05-25T14:29:00.000+05:30

Why do you wear make up? There may be multiple reasons for you to use cosmetics.

You might want to look attractive!
You might want to look younger!
You might want to feel good!
Make up might give you confidence!
You might need cosmetics to hide certain faults like dark circles or blemishes!
And you might wear make up because you know that if you look good. you'll get special treatment from most of (if not all) persons you meet!

So, cosmetics are important because of your “individual special needs.” But did you know that cosmetics have been proved beneficial for many other reasons- that too scientifically? Now you want to know how!

What Science Says About Cosmetics?

Many researches have been conducted to know the secret of beauty! And if you want to know some of these, read on to know what factors are important in cosmetic make up and which part of your body needs what types of cosmetics to make you achieve your target (good looks, youthful look etc.)

Skin Tone – The Sign of Health!

A healthy person has a uniform skin tone. So when you care for your skin, its a sign of health. However, when you don't have such healthy skin, you might use skin care cosmetics to hide certain flaws. Although most of the women can not relate the skin tone with good health, they still know that it is one of the most basic requirement for looking good and this proves the popularity of such cosmetic products as foundations and concealers.

Wrinkles- Not the Only Sign of Aging!

If you depend too much on that wrinkle control cream, you might not get too much benefits. Science shows you some more ways to hide your age- of course with the help of cosmetics again! And this secret lies with your nose. While all the organs of your body stop growing after a certain age, nose (and ears too) keep on growing. So, a comparatively bigger nose certainly will tell your age even if you are able to stop those wrinkles from appearing on your face. Some blush on can help you here. A slight nose shadowing with a contour brush can smartly make you look much younger!

Large Eyes, Full Lips- Key to Attract Men!

Large eyes have always been associated with femininity. So, if you want to attract someone, you possibly cannot avoid using mascara which makes eyes look voluminous. Eye liner and eye shadow too can assist you in your mission! As far as lips are concerned, women already have darker mouths than men (as stated by scientific studies.) Lipsticks can further make them more attractive. Red lips, in fact, are a sign of healthy blood circulation and help in sexual arousal too. International Journal of Cosmetic Science states that full lips of women are a result of female hormones and could indicate fertility. Lip balms and other cosmetics can externally help you create the look of full lips!

What to Wear- Essential or Trendy Fashion Clothing?

2011-02-05T14:41:00.000+05:30

There are many questions about fashion clothing that occupy the minds of all women on this earth- what should I buy for casual and formal wear, what should I wear with skirts and/or jeans, which type of fashion clothing will suit my body type, what are the latest trends and whether to buy seasonal trendy clothes or not, what others will think if I wear a particular dress and many other such types of questions? But the issue is whether we need to think about only the fashion trends or also about the comfort level and other things such as personal preferences about fashion clothing, the types of cloths which suit us or just blindly follow the trends set up by some designers and big companies and brands? For this we need to analyze both the points- our taste, budget, and preference about personal style as well as the fashion norms and how far to follow them!

Essential Fashion Clothing- The Personal Style Statement!

Now what is this essential fashion clothing? Simply explained, it is all types of women's garments that you prefer to wear day in and day out. These may include your formal shirts, tops and blouses, jeans, trousers, skirts, and even evening gowns and other dresses that you wear for formal parties. These define your personal preference because you will not go shopping everyday for essential clothing- you buy these as practical solutions. For example, you will buy many T-shirts, blouse tops, and shirts but will only a handful of jeans, trousers and skirts to wear with them. It is how you mix and match your various clothing items and how you use other accessories that will define your personal style!

Trendy Fashion Clothing- The Ramp Defined Style!

Trendy women fashion clothing is what is displayed on ramps through catwalk by models every season. These cloths are showcased by designers and apparel brands as well as other beauty products companies. They are the one who define the coming trends of the season. There is nothing wrong in it- after all it is their profession! What is important is to make a differentiation between the ramp and everyday fashion clothing. For example, the women's fashion trends- 2011 clearly define the retro and punky fashion as the prevailing norms of this summer and spring season. However, you will definitely not go out and change whole of your wardrobe into such style of clothes. What you can do at the most is to buy some of the clothes inspired by these trends for wearing either as daily casual wear or for special occasion wearing.

Conclusion- How to Decide What to Wear?

Does it mean that we should totally ignore what trends say and go by only our personal preference about our clothes? No, not at all. We do have right to be called trendy fashionable women! So, what can be the right way of deciding what to wear is a little thought about how to complement our personal style with the ongoing trends! For example, for retro style, you can simply sort out your wardrobe to find some of the pieces that have a retro look- the ones which you have discarded years ago. You can even buy a couple of new clothes according to the trends as well as some fashion accessories (bags, footwear, hair accessories etc.) that go with your existing wardrobe. This way, you will not loose your personal style and will remain trendy too!

Adding Fringes to a Shawl

2011-02-04T18:09:00.005+05:30

Crochet shawls are wonderful clothing accessories. One can mix and match it with various outfits as each time it will end up looking nothing less than stylish! Adding a beaded fringe to a closed stitch patterned crochet shawl can add that missing dash of glamor to it. Take a look at the step by step procedure under, to know how to add beaded fringe to a crotchet shawl wrap:

Fringe Making Procedure

Step 1
Start with a chain which measures as much as your shawl's length. Generally, the standard size or length of a shawl is around 60 inches. Now, begin with single crochet in the second chain from the hook and in every chain across.

Step 2
In the next step, chain three and turn. Then, twice crochet within the second single crochet and in each and every single crotchet across the row, thereafter. Further, once crochet in every double across the row. Keep repeating the pattern until you get the desired width of the shawl while ending with a single crochet row.

Step 3
Make a slip stitch to fasten off the shawl. Then cut your working yarn and make another tight slip stitch for securing it.

Step 4
Cut 8 inches long yarn lengths as two of these fringe pieces would be needed for every every inch of the width of the shawl. Thus, calculate as to how many fringe pieces you would need and make the calculated number of fringes accordingly. For example if the shawl is 20 inches wide, then one would need 40 pieces of fringes on each side of shawl. That together makes a total of 80 fringe pieces to complete the shawl.

Step 5
Rope one fringe length of yarn into a needle. Make sure that you use appropriate eye blunt needle for for thick yarn and embroidery needle for thin yarn. Now rope two beads onto the yarn and needle. For obvious reasons, the chosen bead should be big enough to accommodate needle as well as the yarn.

Step 6
Thread two beads onto the needle and yarn. The beads you choose must be large enough to accommodate your yarn and needle in this process. Take off the yarn from the needle, making sure that the beads keep stuck on the yarn. Next tie a knot at the end of each yarn and slide down the beads so as to make each one rest against the knot. Repeat the same step for each fringe length.

Step 7
Lastly, fold the fringe length into half to have a loop in the center with the beads and knotted ends dangling down. Use the crochet hook for pulling the loop through the short edge of the shawl, from front to back. Secure the knotted and beaded ends by pulling it through the loop onto the edge of the shawl. Repeat the same for all the fringes.
