Whatever your reason for wanting to stand out at an upcoming event is a good enough reason. Fashion is for everyone - it is indiscriminate of your age, sex, race, height, weight or shape. The only thing you need to know is - not everything fits everybody, but there is a fit for everybody.
Being self-aware does not mean that you are constantly looking for flaws in yourself; it is, however, a means of keeping yourself in check and knowing what you can or cannot wear at each stage of your life. Say you gained a few pounds, you would not be looking to wear that extra close fitting dresses in your closet or for men a muscle shirt. If you have a few extra pounds on your stomach area then you can opt to get a corset - store reps will help you find the perfect fit. If you want some tips on making your flabs look fab check out our article titled ***.
Steps to Making a Statement
1. Find out the dress code for the event and do some research on it. "Don't assume the obvious is true" - dressing casually elegant is not as simple as it sounds... Trust me.

Steps to Making a Statement

2. Assess your body type, are you a pear, apple, inverted triangle, diamond or hourglass and choose an outfit that accentuates your body type.
3. Pick a colour that compliments your skin tone. If you do not know your skin tone, check out this article ***
4. Groom and shape your eyebrows so that they suit your face shape. This is one of the most important features of your face when it comes on to beauty.
5. Ladies and men get rid of all unwanted hair and groom wanted hair for e.g. - moustache, hanging nose hairs, beard sideburns, knuckles and toes.
6. When doing your makeup, focus on just your eyes or your mouth to draw attention to and play down the one you did not focus on. Drawing attention to two zones at once can be overwhelming to onlookers and might make you look like a clown or like you are trying too hard.

7. Ladies, make your nails match your lipstick. This has a chic look and it makes you look well maintained.
8. Men, use lip balm or Chap Stick. Cracked lips are not only painful but they are also unappealing.
9. Accessories - your belt, purse/handbag should match your shoes.

10. Wear jewellery that brings out the beauty in your face but does not over power your clothing. For tube tops a chunky necklace will do, avoid wearing it with halter tops. Experiment with your jewellery, mix and match until you find the combination that fits.
11. Smile as if you mean it. Let your beauty shine from within you. Below you will see that Jennifer Lopez looks much better when she gives a genuine smile.
12. Enjoy the event.
