How To Know When To Wear What - ?!?

Do you know when, where and what to wear?
 Clothes are not just clothes, there are such-a-thing as Dress code.

There are rules for everything in life, why not your appearance? Learn your Dress Code!

A dress code is a set of rules governing what garments may be worn together and in what setting. Every wardrobe should have a semi-formal dress.

It is said by the experts that woman should always wear a Dress to a semi-formal events; it represents feminism etiquette.

Some people have no idea on what type of clothes to wear at all.
They dresses just to fulfill an obligation to the society as if they were doing you a favor by not walking around naked. They think as long as they're obeying the law by covering their body, they're all set.

Others dresses to impress others, to showcase their assets inappropriately, or just because the other girls are wearing it, no matter how cheap or ridiculous they look.

You don't have to follow the trends or spend a lot of money to look Stylish,

All you need to do is:
a)- learn your body type and what looks good on you

b)-know the colors  and the new style of the season,  purchase one or two pieces so you can mix and match with what you already have in your closet so you can stay updated

c)-learn what's a dress code:
formal attire
semi-formal attire
cocktail attire
business attire
semi-formal casual attire
casual

Usually the invite reads the dress code, if it doesn't, than ask! It's better to ask than to appear under or over dress.

The new trend Semi-formal Colors for this Summer are: 

#1 color is still the classic little black dress, red, white, coral, orange, yellow, gold, and silver

Best Fabrics:

taffeta, chiffon, satin, sateen, gossamer, and silk. 

(avoid cotton, it's not dressy enough )

 
Formal Attire or Black Tie: Ball Gowns and Toxedos

Formal attire is what you wear for a wedding, a fancy Dinner or a Formal Dance 

Although I love this green, Red is the second most popular color after Black for weddings and Formal parties.  

Semi-Formal Attire or White Tie: 
A knee length beautiful but yet conservative dresses.
Is what a woman should wear to Church on Sunday morning. 



Dresses should be beautiful and conservative, a little above the knee, below the knee or at the ankle.
No low cuts, not too short and definitely not see-through.  
Semi-formal attire is a step down from formal attire.
A classic never outdated semi-formal favorite is a little Black Dress.


Cocktail Attire: Short elegant Dresses 
The little Black dress is the ultimate dress and appropriate for most special occasions.
Second one is a little red dress.
Your Dress should be relatively conservative, not skimpy.

Avoid showing too much skin or cleavage.

Dress should be 1inch above the knee.   

That's why I say every woman should have a little black dress and a pretty red dress in her closet.

These two dresses are an investment that can take you any where day or night.

When buying your dress choose the best quality fabric for beauty, durability and style.  


Semi-Formal Business Attire: Pants and Skirt Suits
There is an old saying "Dress for the position you want, and not the one you have".

Skirt suits are the most preferred, and the color choice of many executive professionals are Blue, Black, Gray and Brown. You should always look conservative and professional. Wear an appropriate length skirt, avoid tight skirts, mini-skirts and colorful clothes.
Blouses - a long sleeve cotton or silk blouse in neutral color with a simple colar, minimun to no details is just fine. Most conservative offices do not accept sleeveless blouses, so make sure to know your code. Make sure your blouse fits comfortable, not tight, not see-through, not wrinkle or loud colors.
Scarves- A classic 34-inch square silk scarf that compliments your suit, in a pretty classic color or pattern.
Shoes- A nice flat or a 1-1/2 -inch heel are a professional standard and the colors for your shoes and handbags, should be - black, brown, burgundy or navy.
