It is your birthday or Christmas or anniversary. You would think it is the right time to buy clothes on such memorable occasions. But if you wish to save money, it may be the wrong time.

Off-season is the best time to buy good clothes at cheap rates. You can watch out for a stock clearance sale with any designer that is held every year. Such sales are a nice way of owning designer wear at affordable prices. Moreover, you sometimes get a good deal on that dress you always desired.

Fashion is not always costly as it seems to us!

Men need some tips on fashion while attending an interview to help them look formal and professional.

Always wear a tie that is of good quality and knot it well. Wear a light colored shirt with a matching dark colored trouser. The first thing that your interviewers will look at when you enter is your shoes. Ensure that your shoes are clean and polished to give a shine to them.

Lastly, keep your hair well-groomed. You would not like your hair to appear as if a cyclone just hit you on the head, so use a gel to keep the hair in place.

Even though there are limited choices in colors for men it does not mean that you should completely mismatch your attire.

It is bad to wear brown shoes with a black belt or the other way round. Check that these accessories match each other well. Similarly, it is a strict no-no to wear the same colored shirt and trousers!

Pants that taper at the bottom make you appear top-heavy and obese. So don’t wear such pants and discard them right away. Always wear tight socks and pull up your pants. This way you look smarter.

Let me know your thoughts on this!

It is a wrong belief that fashion is limited to women and kids to some extent. Why should your man be neglected? Here are some helpful tips for gentlemen’s fashion.

It is better to wear a white undershirt under an outer shirt. This will give you a better fit of the clothing and look good too. Moreover, if you are not wearing a tie, it can help you look put-together and professional.  Never forget to wear a belt even though you have a well-fitting trouser. A belt is like the cherry on the cake! It gives you the required finishing touch.

Capri pants look great on some women due to their perfect body shape. Let me tell you which shoes are best to wear with Capri pants and the worst too.

Ballerina flats, skimpy thong sandals and fitted canvas sneakers are all suitable to be worn with Capri pants. They give you a totally casual look and show a lot of foot that gives the feeling of elongated legs.

Be careful, however, NOT to team up your Capri pants with bulky sneakers and cross-trainers, sandals with heavy straps and clogs. They will ruin the entire look and are a total misfit.

Often many of my friends complain that they end up buying ill-fitting shoes, though the shoe was a perfect fit in the store! Why does this happen?

This is because the timing is wrong! It is advisable that you buy shoes in the evening or late afternoon. In the morning our feet are fresh and relaxed. On the other hand, our feet might swell a bit due to standing and working throughout the day in the evening. This is the right time to buy shoes as you can find a correct fit for your feet.

Do share any ideas from your end.

Some of us are blessed with a beautiful long neck that allows us to wear lovely necklaces and solitaires. But we also know of some women who have a slim body and a double-chin on their neck. How can they hide it?

Scarves are the answer to all their woes. Chunky scarves are used by models to cover their belly paunch for a lot of times. You can do the same for your double chin. Simply wrap the scarf around your neck and repeat twice or thrice as needed.

It’s magic! You can camouflage any size of double chin using this trick!

Many times I have been a victim of a clearance sale during Christmas or other occasions. I get impressed by the low price offered but tend to ignore the quality of the fabric. I am sure you too must have been through this sometime or the other. Always check if the quality of clothing you are buying is worth the money. This applies to both, clothes bought in a sale as well as from a boutique. Though a piece of clothing might look good at the first glance, you need to ensure that it is durable and does not wear out after just one wash.

Every spring and summer, you must have noticed that almost all the clothing stores display their best collection of soft and light halter-tops. They look attractive and I have told you that you need a great back to wear one like that. But can just about anybody wear them? No, halter-tops are not for plus size women due to the obvious fact that these tops require a little slimmer back for the perfect look. If you are a plus size indeed, go for clothes that are your size and don’t make you look fatter. Some fashion choices need to be done keeping your size in mind!

So what if you are on the heavier side? It does not mean you should stay away from the staple clothing- jeans. A pair of denims is the most comfortable outfit according to me.

If you are a plus-size woman, remember that you will need a different kind of jeans than skinny women as their fits will not suit you. Moreover, never go for low-rise jeans. This is because such kind of jeans will expose your not-so-flat tummy and not do any good to your image.

So stick to basics and you are sure to find large sized jeans in one of the stores around.
