How to wear the grunge style?

Since the grunge style is again trendy, here is a look at some details about it.

First and foremost, what is the grunge style? ‘Grunge fashion is characterized by durable and timeless thrift-store clothing, often worn in a loose, androgynous manner to de-emphasize the silhouette. The style was popularized by music artists Kurt Cobain, and Pearl Jam.’ This is how Wikipedia defines grunge fashion.

This is 2019, and grunge is back with a vengeance. How does the fashion style measure up in these times? There is pastel grunge, retro grunge, indie grunge, soft grunge, hardcore grunge, and what not! What is your outfit planner app saying about it? Here are some tips on how to wear the grunge style:

Grunge is fashion rebellion

This is the defining basis of grunge fashion. It is ‘anti-fashion’. This is what grunge started out as. Understandably this means bucking the ongoing fashion trend to make your statement. This does not at all mean you have to overhaul your entire wardrobe. Get your outfit planner app to display everything you own at the click of a button. Virtual fashion apps score big in this respect. In fact this is the mainstay of their increasing appeal. You get to virtually ‘see’ all you have at the touch of a button. This will help you pick and finalice an outfit more easily. Furthermore you get to check out your look virtually too.

More about attitude

Grunge fashion is more about attitude than anything else. Rest assured you have items galore. The point is to use them wisely to create the effect. Indie grunge is a specific style that is cool for concerts and the like. Bulky jackets and loose tees paired with cut off denims are a good example. In fact it would be a good idea to organize your things using a closet app. This will help you sort out all such items under a grunge label. Adding cool leather and metal bands as accessories furthers the grunge quotient like no other.

Less about perfection

As stated earlier, grunge began as anti-fashion. Every stitch, every hem, need not scream perfection. In fact, quite the contrary. The lesser well it fits, the bulkier, the more imperfect, the better suited to grunge it all is. Mom tees and boyfriend jeans are terms that are directly to do with grunge. Big bulky clothes that are obviously not your size, torn, ripped, embellished- these are grunge by-words.

Go ripped

Is it a wonder that everyone is ripping up their jeans? Not literally although, some are doing that too. Essentially people are going for a ripped jeans look more and more today. And the rip need not be in your lowers. Jackets, big and bulky but ripped at the shoulder perhaps, have such a cool appeal. Your virtual fashion guide, your closet app is the ideal way to go about when looking to nail the look. An app like Chicisimo will also provide you will suggestions on where exactly to find such things. In addition you have previews of what celebrities are wearing these days.

Beret caps, dark make up, almost Gothic, lots of metal and funky jewellery, floral prints and retro outfits help complete the look. For the best description, go to your outfit planner app and find cool new ways to go grunge with a vengeance. Metal frame sunglasses, cool backpacks in leather or canvas, key rings used in belt holders, the works. The thing with grunge is that there is no rule, and that is essentially the rule. Picking up things at random if they appeal to your sense of liberation and expression is the way to go. Surprisingly you will find much of it in some part of your closet to pile onto the look.

Work those boots

Invest in boots after checking with your closet app. What is winter without them anyway? Different kinds of winter boots are a must in any fashionista’s arsenal. The length and colour as well as trimming (faux fur in case of winter) makes all the difference to any outfit. A stylish pair of boots can transform a plain outfit into a thing of beauty. As an extension of this idea, shorter length boots or booties with faux fur trimmings look wonderful too. These accentuate your look with the very long coats that are currently ruling the fashion charts. Since winters make the wearer top heavy with layering, it is a good idea to go for slim pants. These accommodate long boots much better too, while giving the whole outfit the much needed balance.

Layer it up for look and utility

One of the best winter dressing advices is to layer. Layer it up is what everyone says. While science has proven that layering helps trap heat, for you ladies it is the art that matters more, right? The idea of layering means you can now show off your best garments in style. Beginning with a polo neck, one can go in for a deep V neck colourful sweater followed by a front open jacket and top it all with a stylish long coat. The advantage of layering is you have the option of leaving the front of your coat open. This will only accentuate the look and add to the oomph. Check out any outfit planner app for best suggestions on layering.

Woollen skirt suits look very smart when paired with long boots. They serve the purpose in winter very well. In fact you can make them regular office wear. Ease of movement along with style makes this a great option for winter. In view of this, add some of these to your wardrobe.

How to dress for your hair colour?

Have you ever worried about how to dress for your hair colour? Hair colour is a very important aspect to picking your wardrobe. Not every hair colour will go with every outfit colour. What you need is expert advice in this matter.

Take a look around you at any given time. There are as many natural skin tones as there are hair colours. Blondes, brunettes, redheads, and greys are the basic human hair colours. The different hues are due to changes in eumelanin and pheomelanin. In addition, one can always colour one’s hair any shade.

Remember that the ultimate goal is to rock and own every look. Consequently you must keep your skin tone in mind. Knowing how to dress for your hair colour is extremely important. This holds true for those of you who colour your hair too. Below are some fashion suggestions to help you decide.

How to dress for your hair colour, for blondes.

Often the butt of jokes, this category ranges from near white to very light browns. And then there is platinum white too. Blonde shades look stunning when paired with dark shades. Platinum white hairs go very well with bright reds. The contrast looks beautiful. In fact many such blondes are seen in red outfits. By and large for lighter browns, pick warm shades from your wardrobe. Have you checked on Chicisimo for suggestions yet? Notwithstanding its virtual nature, it helps by showing you your entire range of clothing. You can play your own outfit planner and pick an outfit too. Keep experimenting with dark shades of blue as well for that contrast.

How to dress for your hair colour, for brunettes

This category colours range from burnished wood to coal black. Mostly found in people with warm skin tones, this hair speaks warmth all over. Check out for earthy tones in your wardrobe.From fiery reds to deep greens and vibrant blues, all look amazing. In fact they complement your hair colour beautifully. Oranges and yellows are good colour choices too. In fact the range that you can wear is very wide. Not much is left for brunettes to explore as far as colour choices. It is, however, a good idea to give the whites, creams and pastels a miss. They don’t do much for you. Besides, why not make the most of colours? Not everyone can carry bright hues with the élan that you can.

How to dress for your hair colour, for redheads

Anything from flaming red to warm reds and oranges belong to this category. And surely your outfit planner would recommend cream and ivory shades too. Flaming redheads look sensational in earth tones. And this is because the dark red of your hair totally brings out those shades. Some of these colours are often dismissed as dull or uninspiring. You have only to try out some and experience the difference. The warm hues of your mane need to be offset by these tones. But it is best to avoid pinks and reds. That brings in too much redness to the picture. However, lighter shades of redheads like auburns can carry light pinks better. You might ask Chicisimo to display various outfit options to choose from. The advantage of an online app as an outfit planner is to have options displayed to you. Choose that colour which you feel is really ‘you’.

Greys

Lack of melanin causes hair to grey. But even grey hair has categories. From silver to steel grey, it lends an altogether distinguished look. In fact, some celebrities are rocking the greys. Notably Helen Mirren, Diane Keaton and George Clooney, to name a few. Are you one of those who rock the grey look? One who is supremely confident and self-assured? Suddenly you have made it that much easier for your outfit planner. There are examples galore to style your wardrobe after. Classy pant suits and dresses in dark colours will bring out the grey beautifully. Very dark shades of grey look wonderful too. Thinking 50 shades? Hah, right!

Coloured hair

Is there really any range here? On the contrary, you are only limited by your imagination. And anything goes really. What do you fancy today? Are you in for purple? With a green streak maybe? Or a vibrant shade of orange? Whatever it is, keep your outfit planner in the loop. Decide in tandem with your skin tone and hair colour. For example, say you have gone a shade of candy pink for your hair. Including shades of that in our outfit would look great. Take a peek into your wardrobe. Maybe that pink skirt over there? Further, wear it with a top that is light in colour to display the contrast more. Colored hair goes with most contrasts as well as matching. You have options aplenty.

To match or to contrast – the eternal question

All this while, the discussion has been on what colour outfit matches which hair. However, girls often face another dilemma. Should they match their dress and hair? Or would it be better to go for a contrast and stand out. And the choice is totally yours and how you feel. Some people have it in them to pull off matching. For instance, a deep brunette in shades of dark browns and chocolate shades would be great. From their hair to their footwear it could all be matching, and still look good.

Contrast this with the group that likes to, well, contrast. Are you in this group? In that case, lots of colour possibilities have been discussed above. And for each category of hair colour too. So, follow those guidelines to arrive at a suitable outfit. And alternatively it would be wonderful if you move out a bit too. Meaning, look for some shades other than those mentioned above. There is no harm trying everything out, is there?

As shown above, pick your wardrobe carefully based on your hair colour. This article would have given you enough guidance on how to dress for your hair colour. It is time you tried out these combinations for yourself.

Compare prices

Keep in mind that not all stores have the same products at same prices. Consequently it is wise to do a scan first of what is going around.

Why should you lose out on this? Make sure the product in both cases is in top shape and then take a call. This happens many a time. It is advisable to utilice the first few days of sale to ascertain best deals. You can then jump into the shopping mode.

Best prices and better prices

Plan your trip

One important tip of a sales shopping outing is to plan well. When you list out your requirements, think where you can get them all without too much travel. In other words, visit a mall or a shopping arcade which has sales shopping on and all the stores too. You may then pick up things on your list at one go. There might be myriad things on your list. From groceries to lingerie, everything might be on sale at some particular time. Not only can your trip get easier, you save on time too.

Also make sure you know the return/replacement policies when shopping online.

Pick classics

One of the most effective among 7 tips for sales shopping is to choose classics. They never go out of fashion. On the contrary, they are wardrobe essentials. Say for example, something like an LBD. You do not need an outfit planner to tell you how fashionable they are. Another one is the white shirt. You might be lusting after a new one to add to your collection. Go for one as soon as sales begin. It will serve you for years to come. Similarly for bags too. These are essentials in all seasons. If you get your hands on some classic pieces on sale, there’s nothing like it. Jeans fit into the classics category too. As does a trench or a leather jacket. These endure all fashion storms and stay put. You cannot go wrong with these.

Catch end of season sales

A cardinal rule of sales shopping is to pick things off season. With a change of seasons, type of clothes change. In view of this, and also limited space, stores put up such sales. Consult your outfit planner and go about stocking up your wardrobe now. For example, beautiful leather boots or heavy woollen coats that you just cannot stand in summer. But winter will be around in some months. And these will shoot up in price. Same goes for classic summer wear. Cool cotton outfits or tops can be picked up in off season. With this in mind, plan around end of season sales. You will get the best deals. Your outfit planner will be able to plan for awesome looks in the coming season.

In order to avoid humungous credit card numbers, tell yourself you have a limitation. In fact credit cards can be quite dangerous.

If you want to hide your tired or puffy eyes, they are there! And if you wish to add the oomph to your look, there they are again. Wear them on the eyes, or push them up the forehead. Or just take them off and hang them from the front of your dress. A fallback for many outfit planners to jazz up a look! Because functionality and fashion rolled into one! So, do you wanna learn how to pick the perfect sunglasses for your face shape? Continue reading!

Lof of sunglasses in the beach

Phew! One can go on and wax eloquent about sunglasses. Like with every other fashion item, they come and go in fashion cycles. Look through any fashion app like Chicisimo, and you will get a fair idea. You can download Chicisimo  here for IOS and here for Android (if you need information on how to start with the Chicisimo fashion app, please check this previous post.).

Here is a guide on how to pick the perfect sunglasses for your face shape:

Heart shape

This shape is widest at the top meaning the forehead, gradually narrowing down. The question is which sunglasses look best? What does your outfit planner feel about cat eye sunglasses? Consensus among stylists is that a round shape works best. Cat eye shapes are back with a bang on the fashion scene. Pick different shades of brown or blush pinks if you have warm skin tone. And for an outing on the beach go all out with horn rimmed frames. You will surely win hearts aplenty.

Girl holding sunglasses

Oval shape

This shape is defined by wider cheekbones and narrowing at the forehead and chin. It is what in fashion circles would be called a perfect shape. So, this is the easiest since every frame sits well. And you actually do not need an outfit planner or any guidance. Just pick what shapes you fancy for your wardrobe. One can experiment with geometric shapes like square, rectangular or hexagonal frames too. But do not let the frame be too large though. Because it will overpower the natural beautiful shape of your face.

Girl having fun in a festival

Round shape

This shape has wider cheekbones and similarly wide forehead and jaw. In fact, that is what lends it the name. It has been found that square frame sunglasses work best here. As they heighten the soft features you have. On the other hand, be sure to avoid round frames; because that will be too much roundness to deal with. Chicisimo will provide ample imagery for you to choose from. So, pick the ones that suit your facial features best.

Girl wearing sunglasses in a cold day

Square shape

This shape has angular lines and equally wide forehead, cheekbones and jaw. Since you have a square face, the jaw line can be quite severe. So, choose a pair of sunglasses that helps soften the effect. For example, check for round or oval ones in your wardrobe. Don’t find one? Surely you can wait no longer. An oval pair of shades will counter the strong lines of your face and it will also give the impression of length. So, get a few pairs of oval sunglasses in different colours. In fact, make it a habit to stick to this shape for yourself.

Girl wearing the perfect round sunglasses

Base-down triangle shape

This shape is characterized by narrow forehead and progressive widening to the jaws. Which actually means the lower portion of your face is markedly wider. There are many celebrities who show the way for the perfect-shaped shades for this. You can also find variety of options on Chicisimo, your virtual fashion guide. For example, a cat-eye frame would look perfect for you. Because such a shape helps balance the overall facial appearance. Consult your outfit planner on what colours would look best on you.

Base-up triangle shape

This shape is the exact opposite of #5. You have this shape if your forehead is very wide. Further, your face narrows markedly in the lower portion. As always, looks are about the right balance. Shop for wider based sunglasses. This is a wardrobe essential for you. This would balance out the very narrow bottom portion of the face. It is advisable to go for lighter shades. One can choose rimless sunglasses ideally. There are options galore online for suggestions for the perfect pair. Choose with care and you are set for the day out.

Diamond shape

This shape of face has comparatively narrow forehead and chin. The cheekbones are widest. Such a face is actually a rarity. And much coveted in fashion circles for enviable cheekbones. Do everything you can to highlight this feature of yours. Every choice of wardrobe detailing should reflect your shape. This includes your shades too. Cat-eye frames look gorgeous on such faces. Go for wide glasses and curved brow lines. These will do ample justice to your face shape.

Oblong shape

This shape is characteristically long with narrow cheekbones and jaw. It may also be called a rectangle shape. This type of facial feature is along the lines of oval. However, a talk with an experienced outfit planner will help choose the best. This is because the top and the bottom of the face are all in line. There is not that taper that an oval has. So what shape of sunglasses would look good on you? It is best to avoid round frames for this face type. Instead one can go for geometric shapes like squares and rectangles. A slight upsweep at the upper corners works wonderfully. It accentuates the lovely cheekbones to great effect.

There goes- a comprehensive guide on how to pick the perfect sunglasses for you. Fashion is all about highlighting your best features. In addition, it is about subduing the features that fail to flatter. Follow this guide to choose the best glasses for yourself. You will be setting major fashion goals that way.

Off shoulder drama

If you are the adventurous kind, ask your outfit planner for off shoulder dresses. These look very fetching and alluring too. Go for colourful printed ones. Long or short, the choice is yours. It will anyway bowl everyone over. Paired with high heels these look very cute. If you are picking something in very bright colours, go easy on the rest. In fact skip the adornments altogether. Let them rest in your wardrobe for a later occasion. Too many accessories will ruin the cuteness factor. If you are really keen, go for that one piece of jewellery. Say a sleek bracelet. You really do not need anything else.

10 golden rules to get dressed you should follow

Who does not like rocking a look? A look that stands apart, that spells class. You might have a wardrobe spilling over with clothes but still you might mess up the look. This can be the case with many people. Because not everyone can manage to look effortlessly stylish. Often times, it is easy to achieve the look with basics.  But there are some rules to follow for that. At the cost of sounding repetitive, these are the 10 golden rules to get dressed you need to follow:

Consider the occasion

Cardinal rule to follow when getting dressed.  How can one not? It would be complete sacrilege to do otherwise. Like an outfit planner will tell you, each occasion demands something different. For example, you need a certain outfit for an office lunch, and a family get-together will demand something entirely different. Also a vacation will require a total overhaul of your wardrobe. Is there a wedding in the family? Or it is an awards ceremony you are getting dressed for? So, keep the occasion in mind when deciding your dress.

Consider the occasion is a golden rule to get dressed

Go by weather

Another factor you must consider when you get dressed is the weather.  In fact, a vital factor.  This in conjunction with the occasion should be your guiding light. Because the exact same occasion will need a different outfit when the weather changes. Say you are going for a get-together with friends. Will you pick the sleeveless chiffon blouse in winter? No way, right? When it is freezing over, your instincts tell you what to wear.  You do not need an outfit planner.

Go by weather is a golden rule to get dressed

Put your comfort first

One very important thing to consider is yourself. Why would anyone overlook this factor? After all it is you who has to revel in the clothes you wear. Not everyone can put on a smiling countenance when the shoes are biting. This is a dress up advice that not every outfit planner dishes out. But it is of extreme importance.  Imagine fidgeting away in a stunner of an outfit, just because you are not comfortable.  Would that not rather defeat the purpose of fashion? Be wise, ladies. Accepting the fact that not everything is for everybody is very important.  And just because a certain style is in vogue, you cannot carry it off if uncomfortable. The style, the fit, and your own mind have to be in sync to rock an outfit. 

Being comfort is a golden rule to get dressed

Dress according to body type

Everybody is different. And every BODY is different too. When you pick an outfit keeping this in mind, your looks get automatically transformed. For this you need to analyze your body type well. And once you have done that, it will be easier to pick the right clothes from your wardrobe. Consult Chicisimo for various suggestions. The beauty of the app lies in not having to physically try out clothes.  The app will let you have a virtual preview.  And you can then go ahead and choose what you feel looks best. The wonders of technology are endless. Why let it go waste?

Do not overmatch

Now, now girls! You may have the entire set of matching jewellery that goes together. Matched to a T. And you are kind of looking forward to flaunting it. Ask your outfit planner if it is a good idea. In most cases, you will hear otherwise. Surprised? Well that is how it works.  Every item matching is not really good fashion. Lose the necklace and pick earrings and bracelets to match. Or if the necklace is a stunner, showcase it by going slow otherwise.  Even if you have the ideal earrings screaming for attention.

Not overmatching is a golden rule to get dressed

Go slow on skin show

Remember too much of skin bodes ill. Choose wisely from your wardrobe. As an example, if you are opting for a mini skirt, make sure the top has a proper neckline.  And if wearing a shirt and choosing to keep two buttons undone, go for regular trousers or jeans. A hint of skin can be alluring. And overdoing it can be disastrous at times.

Choose underwear well

Is your wardrobe well-stocked with underwear? If not consult an outfit planner right now.  Because bad or improper underwear has the ability to ruin the best outfits. And different dresses require different types of support.  So, make sure you get this aspect right. Chicisimo can offer good suggestions in this regard.

Wear the jacket right

Jackets are versatile items that compliment an outfit.  One can wear jackets in any season, and for numbers of reasons.  Get the look right with these. Whether you throw it lightly around your shoulders or button up is up to you.

Accessorize well

One cannot over emphasize this at all. The right accessory can up the fashion ante like no other.  Take a deep look into your wardrobe.  Remember that accessory is a wide, wide term. It encompasses anything from jewellery to hats to handbags to scarves to brooches. And amplifies the fashion quotient up many notches. The trick lies in picking the right one.  When you are getting dressed, seek advice from Chicisimo for suggestions. You can download Chicisimo  here for IOS and here for Android (if you need information on how to start with the Chicisimo fashion app, please check this previous post.). Since the app stores images of your belongings, it will do so with ease. It is always easier to judge a look when you see yourself on screen.  This app helps in this aspect.

Keep a spare

And here the last of the 10 golden rules to get dressed you need to follow. You never know when something goes wrong.  A spillage maybe or a run in your stockings! A fashion disaster can happen at any time.  It is true you cannot carry your entire wardrobe along. If something does go wrong, it helps if you happen to carry a spare. Some items are dispensable, others not. A run in your stockings, for example, can be dealt with by taking them off.  But if you have a red wine spillage on your white blouse? Just imagining the scenario can give you the chills.  It is a good idea to carry a spare blouse if possible. Otherwise, one can pray for the best always.

7 tips to get ready for summer

Summer is upon us in all its blazing glory. And who would not like to get through in style? Just read on to know how to make the most of this season. After all you need to be in top shape. However, remember that the 7 tips to get ready for summer below are about every aspect. In other words, not only your wardrobe but skin and hair care too. Remember that Chicisimo is always at hand as your virtual outfit planner. You can download Chicisimo  here for IOS and here for Android (if you need information on how to start with the Chicisimo fashion app, please check this previous post.).

What are the essential 7 tips to get ready for summer?

Stay hydrated

First, second, third, stay hydrated and then some more. This only means hydration in summer is an absolute must. One cannot lay enough emphasis on the importance of adequate hydration. Of course watch it if you have medical issues. Otherwise, drinking eight to ten glasses of water is a must in summer. In fact water has multiple uses. It helps skin retain moisture it tends to lose to the sun. Your kidneys remain in top shape too. Equally important, it helps with weight management.

Hydrated skin looks healthy and glowing. This adds to your looks. In addition, it is best to avoid foods that remove water from the body. For example, go slow on hard alcoholic drinks. You will avoid cramps and pains too. To say nothing of the energy that hydration provides to get through your day.

Staying hydrated is one of the tips to get ready for summer

Wear loose clothes

Any outfit planner worth their profession will tell you to wear loose clothes. In fact, stock your wardrobe with natural fabrics. Choose clothes so that your limbs are covered when outdoors. This will prevent them from tanning too much. As much as you fancy that skin-tight pair of jeans, give it a skip now. You need your skin to be able to sweat and cool off easily. This is not so easy in tight clothes. Cool cotton outfits in summery prints are the best. You can choose from short skirts, flowing loose dresses, tunics and shorts. All of these are wonderful for the summer months. 

Furthermore, choose proper footwear too. All of this is in fact for when you are venturing out. Open toe footwear like sandals are ideal. Of course feet get tanned in them but they help prevent over sweating. Too much accumulated sweat in feet is a big problem. Not only can it cause itching but also smelly feet.

Look after your tresses

Which girl is not proud of her tresses? However long or short or thick or thin the mane might be! The problem is managing them in the peak of summer. Many of you might go for a ‘summer’ cut. If not, make sure to protect them when out in the sun. Add floppy straw hats to your wardrobe. Additionally consult your outfit planner for cool crochet hats or cotton scarves. These are equally good at protecting your hair from the sun. 

Like your skin needs lots of water, hair too needs moisture. Exposure to sun can turn it dry and brittle. And such hair does not look good, period. Too much sweating can be a problem too. Consequently hair ends up looking listless and dull. Consider bandanas and colourful hair bands to hold your tresses in place. That way they will be held up and better able to handle the sweat and heat.

Take care of skin

Skin is the largest exposed organ in the human body. Hence, one of the vital 7 tips to get ready for summer is skin care. Whenever you venture out, lather sunscreen lavishly. In fact, carry a tube with you. You might own the trendiest clothes but this is a wardrobe must-have. Take care to cover every square inch of exposed skin with sunscreen. Additionally, staying hydrated also helps the skin in summer. In view of this, drink lots and lots of water. In fact take a bottle with you whenever you are going out. You are now good to go.

Eat fresh foods

It’s summer, ladies! Consequently the market is full of water-based fruits. Let eating fresh be your mantra. Choose cucumbers, mangoes, lychees, melons to eat. Avoid oily and spicy foods since they will show on your body negatively. In fact, ask your outfit planner to suggest summery prints too. Let the freshness be all pervasive. Again, drink lots of water. Infused water is a great way to imbibe freshness.

Eating fruit is one of the tips to get ready for summer

Shade your eyes

Aah those precious peepers! Girls, do you know that skin around the eyes is super sensitive? Not to mention it gets irritated in the heat. Have you added cool shades to your wardrobe yet? If yes, good on you. Not yet? Delay no further. Check Chicisimo this moment for some great suggestions. Choose your shades with care too. Talk to your outfit planner to decide on the best shape for you. Moreover, choose big frames to cover all around the eyes. Also use sunscreen liberally around your eyes when you go out.

Using glasses is one of the tips to get ready for summer

Make lifestyle changes

It is very important to look at making holistic changes. With a change in season, your wardrobe changes. There is another kind of change needed too. Nothing that your outfit planner outfit can suggest though. This is something you have to work out yourself. For example, planning your outdoor activities away from noon. This is the time the sun will be blazing outside. Additionally, things like natural remedies for sun protection and sunburns help. 

Work towards getting maximum rest as your schedule allows. In particular, try to retire early. Eating light dinners will help in summers, not only with digestion but with your skin and complexion health too. One can also consider doing some meditation and yoga. These help calm the mind and focus on good thoughts.

Apple shape

Opt for a mid-length skirt with a high waist for this body type. Because this lends a slim look to your appearance. And see around for ideas regarding the perfect choice for you. Fashion TV shows and fashion and lifestyle magazines, for example. Following celebrities also provides a good picture in mind. Choose a skirt that will give the appearance of a lean look. A bit of taper at the end does provide shape to the look.

Pear shape

Find A-line denim skirts for yourself. These will complement your figure the best. As your heavier bottom half and rear gets better camouflaged. And keep the length to just above or at knee level. Because this will get the best of your triangular body shape. Probably tightly fitted skirts are not for you, as they will bring out the heavy aspect. Instead consider a skirt with flares.

Hourglass shape

You can wear any type with ease. However, a pencil skirt will do best justice to your figure. So, get this addition to your wardrobe today to accentuate your curves. And you are now ready to slay with your looks.

Choose the style 

Which girl worth her denims ever feels good with limited choice? Naah, does not work. The more the choices in designs, the happier women are. Majorly dictated by body shape, you can always experiment by type. Consider making additions to your wardrobe that will cater to your needs.

Embellished skirts

Break the monotony of denim by adding embellishments to it. For example, a lace trim or sequins along the edges of the pocket look amazing. Even playing with the buttons if you so wish. For instance, shell buttons on a blue denim skirt will work wonders.

Patchworked skirts

Denim skirts can be given enhanced looks by adding patches. Anything from alphabets to stars or animal shapes goes. Depending upon your age and the degree of casualness, just go all out. Patches add a degree of distraction to the outfit. Check a virtual fashion app like Chicisimo and you will see more styles. Likewise, fashion shoes provide inspiration too.

Printed denims

Do you own a printed denim skirt yet? If not, it is time to consider one such. So, enhance your wardrobe by picking a printed denim skirt. As you know, you can shop for it online too. And they can be paired beautifully with solid colour tops.

Denim trimmings

Remember the movies of yore with long contoured skirts with frills? You must have seen such on Chicisimo as well. Why not consider one in all denim? Consult with your outfit planner if that would sit well on you.

Distressed skirts

It’s denim, can you miss the distressed look? No way! They are just made for each other. Your outfit planner will second that surely. Whatever the length or style you have decided upon distressed goes with all. And they look super cool and hep.

Lace additions

Denims have a rough and ready imagery with them. Surely many denim outfits in your wardrobe have been used extensively. Now consider a lace addition. In fact, white lace trimmings or details on denim skirts look amazing. And they bring in a delicacy to the outfit.

Faded denim skirts

The final frontier of coolness, surely. Faded denims look very stylish everywhere. Be it pants or skirts, they nail the fashion quotient. So, get one of these types for your wardrobe to enhance your collection.

Color your choice

Does it always have to be blue? Or black or white? If you are stuck into thinking like so, come out of it immediately. Because denims now come in a variety of colors. From yellows to oranges to pinks and greens. Bring it on, ladies! Because it is time to come out of the fashion rut. And these colours add a pop and sparkle to any outfit. So, give it a try right now. Why not go out and get one of these? You can check with your outfit planner about what colour would compliment you. Your outfit will take on an entirely new look with colour denim skirts.

Age it right

Not every age can carry off everything. Some do get away with it. And this is because of their supreme confidence. Because this is actually true of any outfit. When you are confident it shows in how you carry yourself. Besides, both the outfit and the wearer feed off each other. And having said that, some patterns and designs are too young at times. For instance, you cannot really rock a party in mini denim skirts at all ages. Let it be the prerogative of the young. Take care to talk to your fashion consultant about this. So, keeping in mind the age factor, decide upon your denim skirt. For example, embellishments and distressed denims are the signatures of youth. And a little more restraint is good when you find yourself in the mature bracket.

This is the time to join the denim skirted look! Because it is back in vogue and now you know how to choose the perfect denim skirt. Cash in on this opportunity. And stay in fashion while enjoying the comfort that denim provides. 

What to wear to a music festival, the definitive style guide

Music is food for the soul. It liberates the mind and resonates with inner feelings. Music can be a mood changer for most people. What genre do you like? Blues, hard rock, jazz, classical? Whatever be your soul food, it helps if you dress for the occasion. Imagine landing up for a rap and hip-hop concert in a formal tux! So, think of your choices in this context. Don’t know what to wear to a music festival? Call up your outfit planner to help out. You may also refer to Chicisimo for appropriate suggestions, which can be downloaded  here for IOS and here for Android (if you need information on how to start with the Chicisimo fashion app, please check this previous post.). After all the experience needs to be totally perfect.

Going for a music festival and faced with the dilemma of what to wear? What you pick from your wardrobe depends on an important factor. Is the festival indoor or outdoor? Make your choice depending upon that. Here are some suggestions of what to wear to a music festival:

Outdoor venue

Outdoors is where the fun is. Go all out when choosing your outfit. Check weather predictions first though. Because the best plans can go awry if the weather turns. Choose loose and comfortable clothes for such festivals. And it is very important to pick comfortable shoes too. Make sure you choose the right one from your wardrobe. Also flowing dresses are best for such events. And if there is any hint of rain at all, you need to throw in an anorak and spare clothes. Glastonbury is known for getting muddy. Be prepared to counter the weather gods and keep looking stylish. Also a good sunscreen is a must have. Because you cannot afford to return from a music festival looking roasted.

Indoor venue

Many festivals are hosted in big indoor stadia, especially those genre that demand resounding acoustics. And the thing with an indoor venue is with the air-conditioning. Not all places can achieve the perfect balance. Because there are too many people after all. At times the chill gets too much. But at other times it can become very stuffy. You can choose any outfit under the outdoor section. Additionally, remember to carry a throw or a stole. You never know how it turns out. So, take a light one from your wardrobe and pack it in. You can enjoy the comfort if it turns too cold.

Go by the weather

As already stated, weather can be a spoiler at times. This is especially true for outdoor music festivals. That’s why you have to decide your outfit according to the weather. Chicisimo is one app that sorts your wardrobe by different categories. Every season poses some challenges for outdoor events. Summers mean light clothing. Get advice from an outfit planner for sun hats, shorts and sandals for your look. Pack in extras from your wardrobe for rainy day predictions. An event in the open in winters can become a style show. You can go all out flaunting your woollens. What about that super stylish leather jacket you have? Match it with skull caps and woollen scarves with leggings in your wardrobe. You will be the style diva always.

A classical music festival

What kind of music are you into? Who are you rooting for in the upcoming festival? Because a whole lot depends upon this when you choose an outfit. If it is showcasing classical music, tone down your choices. And go for something that is classy and timeless. You will actually be in sync with the music this way. Call up your outfit planner today and try out options. An evening gown that flows with the contours will work very well. And you can accessorize minimally to enhance the effect. For example a tiny but classy clutch and a pair of high heels will complete the look. Also, carry a fur coat if it is winter season. Such festivals are generally housed indoors with seating. This means you are not going to be on your feet all the time. Hence, the suggestion of heels.

Summer festival

If the music is young and vigorous, an entire new plan is needed. And you can dress coolly or go for grunge looks. All of it depends on the kind of music. Anything from tee shirts to worn shorts and sandals goes. Pick up lots of bangles or chunky jewellery to go with the mood. Also hair bands and bandanas are quite the rage. Not only the musicians but the crowd too love moving with the beat. And these help keeping hair out of the way. Remember to pick your footwear well though. Because you will be dancing, cheering and grooving to the beat. And you cannot do that if your feet are killing you, right? Did you check with your virtual outfit planner yet? Do so and get things ready on time.

Carry some essentials

Irrespective of what kind of music you are into or the venue, you need some essentials. A waist pouch should also be part of your outfit. How best to pick it can be advised by an outfit planner. You need to have both hands free for music festivals. This means carrying a bag is not a good choice. The most you can do is carry a sling. Whatever be your pick, it has to be spacious enough to hold some essentials. Check with Chicisimo for trendy choices. It should fit in your mobile, keys, cash and/or cards, and ID of some kind. If you are going to be jumping and cheering, pack in some wipes too.

Most of the well known festivals are very well equipped with help. However, too many people crammed into limited space means you need to be aware. Not everyone might have good intentions. Be aware of yourself and your surroundings.

That is the definitive way to nourish your soul.
