Girly Girl
Spring’s look is soft, fluid, feminine and romantic. Hence, the ruffled blouse is a staple look for spring. If you have soft curves, this style will suit you well. Can you wear ruffles to work? Absolutely! However, do pared it down with a fitted no fuss skirt or sleek trousers. Wearing a ruffled top with a frilly skirt will make you look frumpy, outdated and over-girlish for work. Keep ruffled printed tops for casual weekends if your workplace has a stricter dress code. A ruffled blouse is a good camouflage for smaller chested women and for the more well-endowed, choose a V or U-shape neckline with softer fabric to avid looking frumpy. If you are concerned that you may look too girlie for your comfort level, go for a crisp looking shirt with small ruffle detailing and pair it with men’s trousers.
Splashing in Style
With the weather temperature soaring up, it is time to hit the pool or the beach. Question is: Are you bikini ready? Well, if you are not, do not fret. You can still look fabulous in a one-piece swimsuit in the correct colour, fit and style. Besides comfort and functionality, you should select styles that fit your body shape. For example, vertical lines are always slimming and lengthening; and so are diagonal lines. Large floral prints and ruching are also good for camouflaging the tummy. A high leg cut will also give the illusion that your legs are miles long.
Trend Alert!
Asymmetric “Cleopatra” necklace by Rebecca Yam
One of the new trends to look out for in Spring 2010 is asymmetric fashion. Designers have incorporated the asymmetric features in their creations from one shoulder dresses and hemlines that are misproportionate to prints/ detailing that are concentrated on one side of the clothing. Asymmetric lines and shapes can be flattering and make an asymmetrical figure more balanced. The asymmetric body is camouflaged as more attention is drawn to the dramatic lines of the clothing.
