Are you putting away your winter clothing and
finding that your closet is
looking a little bare? Do the colors and styles of your
spring and summer
wardrobe seem out dated and boring? Would you like
a more youthful look?
Are you looking for a way to spend less money but
follow some of the current
hot trends? Have you put on a few additional pounds
over the winter months
and want your clothing to help you look slimmer while
shedding the extra
weight? Below are six tips to update your wardrobe
with the latest fashion
designs without spending a lot of money.
1. Color: It is important to know what colors
compliment your skin tones.
Use the lighter shades of color next to your face. Use
deeper shades of
complimentary colors in pants or layering shirts. By
using this technique,
you will appear slimmer. Attention will be drawn to
your face rather than
your body and darker colors are more slimming.
2. Layering: Layering in different colors and
styles is extremely popular
this season. It is another way to look slimmer while
being stylish. Longer
light weight knits can be used without adding bulk.
Start with the longest
layered shirt first, then add shorter layers after. This
elongates and is
flattering to the body. The new popular layered knits
are often used by
women wearing maternity clothes.
3. Adding to your existing wardrobe: By simply
adding a shirt or jacket in
this season's new colors or styles, you can get a
whole new outfit. Taking
a pair of pants that you are getting tired of and cutting
and hemming them
to a popular length for summer can save money since
you won't have to
purchase another pair.
4. Replacing items in your wardrobe: There will be
clothing items in your
wardrobe that will need to be replaced. When
replacing basic items such as
pants, look for garments that are more classic. It is
less expensive to add
trendy shirts in popular colors than it is to replace a
high quality pair of
pants or jeans.
5. Clothing Accessories: Jewelry can update and
add excitement to any
outfit. You do not have to purchase an expensive
piece of jewelry to add
color or look trendy. Inexpensive, yet beautiful jewelry
can be found.
Changing jewelry can give an outfit a totally different
look.
6. Skirts: Adding a couple of skirts to your
wardrobe is stylish,
comfortable and cool. Skirts are popular this year.
They make women feel
feminine, pretty and are a nice change from pants and
shorts. You can dress
skirts up for work or dress them down for a summer
picnic. This is done by
adding appropriate accessories.
The above tips are applicable to teen clothing
and junior clothing as well
as women's clothing. The most popular styles of
shirts this season are cami,
cap sleeve, lace trim cap and camisole out of soft
stretch material. Colors
that are being worn are brown, coral, berry, cream,
pink, peach, sky blue,
lilac, yellow and orange. Be careful when choosing
shirts of various
colors. Orange for example, will match only a small
number of women's
skin tones. Peach, on the other hand, may be a better
choice for most
women. Most colors can be worn be everyone is they
are in the right
shades and undertones. By putting various colors up
to your face and
looking in the mirror, you can see if they are flattering
and if they work
well with your personal skin tones.
