How to Dress for a Casual Night Out - Women

Women are said to dress not for men, but for each other.

Things You'll Need:

A-line Skirts

Women's Casual Tops

Women's Causal Pants

Women's Sandals

dresses and skirts

Step

1. Fill in your lips with a color darker than what you would use during the day.

2.Try parting your hair differently, in a zigzag or oblique line, or pulling it back with a hairband crusted with shiny beads.

3.Layer your tops so you can toss outer layers if it gets warm inside the restaurant or bar. Try a twinset with a sweater and shell.

4.Keep in mind that a top with a complicated pattern or texture warrants a simple bottom

and vice versa.

5.Nix light-colored jeans for darker, indigo ones. Tinker with

skirt and pant lengths, wearing capri pants or a skirt that cuts just below the knee.

6.Choose shoes to match. Clunky shoes with thick soles pair well with jeans; try teaming skirts with dainty-heeled mules.

7.Paint your toenails if you're wearing open-toed shoes.

8.Remember accessories. Try gemstone stud earrings if you have short-cropped hair. Wear a simple necklace with a scoop-neck shirt and show off your neck.

Tips & Warnings

1.Pants seem more versatile than skirts, working across a greater spectrum of casual social settings.

2.Check to see what your friends are wearing if you're concerned about under- or overdressing for the occasion.

How to Find the Perfect Fit in a Bra

Whether you choose a bra to enhance, minimize, support or show off your bust, fit is crucial. It's the key to keeping you comfortable and supporting your breasts properly. Here are a few steps to finding the ideal bra.

Things You'll Need:

* Bras
* Sports Bras
* Measuring Tapes

Steps

1.Use a measuring tape to measure around your bare rib cage, just beneath your naked breasts. This number indicates the band size most appropriate for your figure.

2.Measure the widest part of your bust, sliding the tape around the middle of your back. Hold the tape as level as possible to ensure accuracy.

3.Note the difference between the two measurements. Use the following as a guide, and try on a range of sizes above and below your measurement: If your bust measurement is up to 1 /2 inch larger than your band size, then your cup size is an AA. A measurement of 1 /2 inch to 1 inch more than the band size indicates an A cup, 1 to 2 inches indicates a B cup, 2 to 3 inches indicates a C cup, 3 to 4 inches indicates a D cup, and 4 to 5 inches indicates a DD or E cup.

4.Select a range of bras according to your band and cup size.

5.Try on a bra. Place your hands through the straps and bend over to allow your breasts to fall into the cups. The cups should contain your breasts'unless you're trying a demibra or an enhancing bra'and should center your nipple in the fullest part.

6.Close the bra using the middle hook. Look for a band that fits snugly but doesn't cut into your rib cage. If it's too tight, try adjusting the hook closure before proceeding to a larger size.

7.Adjust the straps so the band fits comfortably under the breasts and around the rib cage. If the bra seems to slip forward, if you find yourself pulling up on the straps, or if it feels as if your breasts are falling out of the bottom of the cups, the band size is too big.

8.Check the fabric or bridge between your breasts. This should lie flat on the breastbone. If it sticks up or stabs your breastbone uncomfortably, try a larger cup size. If it puckers, try a smaller size.

9.Move up a cup size if your breasts bulge from the bra. Move down a size if you notice wrinkles in the cup material.

Tips & Warnings

* Remember that all bras are not made equal. Experiment to find the brand or style that best suits your figure.

* Wash bras by hand, or in the delicate cycle of a washing machine in a mesh bag. Avoid shrinkage and prolong life by hanging bras to air-dry instead of machine-drying them.

How to wear clothes fashionably

It's not always about wearing what's trendy. Most times, it's about wearing what you feel comfortable in and projecting confidence. You can wear a little black dress or Capri pants with espadrilles and feel just as sexy in both with the right attitude. Read on to learn how to fashionably wear clothes.

Steps

1.Select an outfit. This will depend on the season, the occasion and your mood, but pick clothes that you love and that fit you well.

2. Make sure your clothes are pressed and clean. Soil and wrinkles will take away from your fashionable image.

3.Dress appropriately for the occasion. If it's casual Friday at the job, a white blouse, khaki slacks and modest pumps or loafers are fine, but unless you work in an extremely casual environment, jeans are not.

4.Look at yourself in a mirror from all angles, to make sure your clothes fit in a flattering way. Check for pantie lines, stains or tears.

5.Accessorize wisely. Put on all the jewelry you want to wear. Now remove one piece. Too much jewelry is distracting and can take away from a classic image.

6.Use accessories like scarves and belts to dress up or dress down your look. Adding these items is quick, inexpensive and can change your look in an instant.

7.Make sure you buy the best quality clothes you can afford. Shopping sales and at outlet stores can yield great finds at lower prices, so don't think quality clothing always costs an arm and a leg. Smart shoppers score good deals all the time.

8.Stand tall, no matter your height. You can be petite or model tall--what matters is how you present yourself. If you're a trendsetter, always buying and wearing what's new and hip, your image will show that. If you prefer classic clothes that last season after season, people will see that. Dressing fashionably has more to do with how you wear your clothes, not what you're wearing.

Tips & Warnings

#Look through fashion magazines to get an idea of current trends.

#Ask friends for advice, especially those who you think dress well.

#Pinpoint your style, whether it's hip, bohemian or casual chic. Choose clothes that reflect your personal style.

#Identify what works with your shape. If V-neck tops flatter you, wear those most often.

#Don't wear clothes that are too tight. This gives off the wrong impression.

#High heels over three inches don't belong in the office.

#Don't wear shirts that reveal too much cleavage to work or skirts that are too short.

#Even if you love a certain trend, if it doesn't flatter your figure, avoid it.
