What matters underneath the clothing

For me fashion starts with what you wear under the clothing. I find that what I wear underneath my clothing increases the sex appeal and boost my confidence.  For the next couple of blogs I will be writing on different types of undergarments from bra’s, underwear, and body shapers.

Athletes Fashion

In the fashion industry, the athletic males have started to make statements with their uniforms and their interview attire. Kobe Bryant criticised his fellow basketball athletes for their fashion statements. I applaud their fashion statements; no matter how crazy the fish shirts get Russell Westbrook.

Coat tips for all body shapes

It is that time of season again where we break out our winter coats. But this year, let us try on coats that fit our body type and work as a colorful accessory to your outfit instead of a winter cover up.

If you are an apple shaped women who is: larger in the bust, have broad shoulders, and narrow hips, try tailored jackets. These jackets will nip in at your waist line creating an appearance of a smaller waist and making your tummy look smaller. In jacket length ensure it falls right below your waist and not above the thigh. If your jacket is too long it will make you look wider in your hip area and wider than what you actually are.

If you are a pear shaped women who is: wider in the hips and thighs, have narrow shoulders, and a larger bottom try jackets with length that stops at your waist, and jackets with shoulder pads. Wearing a jacket that stops at the waist will prevent you from looking larger than what you are, and it will draw attention to your small waist line. Also, purchasing jackets with shoulder pads will give the appearance of broader shoulder to help balance out being bottom heavy.

If you are an hourglass shaped woman who is: equally balanced in bust and hips, a smaller waist and thicker legs than fitted coats are for you. The fitted coats will draw attention to your smaller waist line. Being hourglass shaped, any length of coat will work for you.

If you are boyish shaped women with: undefined waist, small hips and bust, than you must dress to create illusions of waist lines, shoulders and bust. This can be created by wearing a tailored jacket, or a jacket with a pattern to draw the eyes into the small waist line. Try to find jackets that flare at the end, this will create the illusion of hips.
