Is the first question you ask yourself each morning, "What am I going to wear today?" Does the thought of opening your cupboard and finding something to wear put you in a state of panic and frustration? The key to looking and feeling your fashion best each day relies on one thing - a core wardrobe that's right for you.
From cerise to damask, this season’s hottest colour has grown up. Wear pink with neutrals for instant chic, or seduce and shimmer in floral fabrics, shades of gold and beaded accessories.Key fashion trends for summer include bright accessories, Baby doll dresses which are still very popular and fitted minis with attention paid to the waist.
Top ten fashion saving tips:
1. Play up your strengths. Choose clothes that accentuate your positives and visually eliminate any negatives. This is the No. 1 secret of great style.
2. Base your wardrobe on one or two dark to mid-tone neutral colors (such as black, gray, chocolate or navy), then spice up your outfits with colorful accessories. Mixing colors of similar values always makes for a sophisticated look.
3. Think quality over quantity. It's always better to have a few great classic pieces that make you look and feel fabulous every time you wear them than a closet full of middle-of-the-road pieces. Invest in a few great classics, then update with less expensive trendier items.
4. Always, consider your lifestyle - spend the most money on those things you will wear the most often.
5. Find a personal "look". Once you discover the styles, cuts and designs that work for you, stick to them. Those silhouettes will then become part of your unique personal style.
6. Be aware of the latest trends, but don't follow fads verbatim. Only adopt those styles that are a perfect match with your body type and personality.
7. Organize your wardrobe. Dressing well means knowing what you have so you mix and match with ease.
8. Take advantage of accessories. The right piece of jewellery or studded belt can turn a basic outfit into a work of art. And never skimp on shoes - they have a tremendous effect on the way you feel as well as the way you look.
9. When in doubt, keep it simple. It's always better to err on the side of minimalism than overindulgence.
10. Scout the shops frequently. Short forays are less tiring than full shopping days.
And remember, you don't need a million to look like a million…
