AN amazingly skinny belt is the new trend for instant fit! When we think about belt, we literally think about something that helps hold our pants to stay up. Their flexibility is amazing and serves to hang up many items of clothing. Belt will obviously hold your pants up, but the appeal is much more. Belts, like the classic skinny/tiny ones, are more of fashion statement than anything else; the leather and chain skinny belt symbolises so much more than a piece of material. The belt comes in different colours and texture, so it is almost impossible not to find the right belt to match your personality.

How to style  your skinny belt

•You can pair a skinny belt with a long dress to give it some definition.

•Or throw one over a shorter piece to make it less sexy and more fashion-forward.

•Add a skinny belt to a tunic or a high-waisted skirt to create an interesting look with some sartorial flare.

IN the last few months, peplum fashion has gradually found its way back into the scene, even if it is not as daring as it used to be. These days, it is not uncommon seeing designers splashing colourful and attractive peplum designs in sheer slinky fabrics, ruffle, lace trimming and slips. Peplum dresses are versatile pieces and accordingly, they can be dressed up or down depending on the occasion. This soft, feminine look is very much in vogue right now and of course, it adds volume to your hips! Also, peplum skirts and tops are great wardrobe pieces, because you can wear just about any top or pants/skirt to complement it.

How to rock it

•For a semi-formal evening style wear with some dressy sandals and a tantalising handbag.

•When wearing peplum, consider accessorising with a skinny belt, as this will further accentuate that hourglass shape.

•Lastly, add a pair of stylish oversized earrings to make a chic and lasting statement.

UNCONVENTIONAL suit dresses are now mostly preferred by several of today’s women, judging by the rate at which traditional styles are going out of fashion.

Gorgeous two or three-piece suits are wardrobe essential dresses that usually feature a lovely jacket, camisole and smart skirt or pants. Besides style, the choice of suit colours has since become competitive. Nowadays, the suit dress doesn’t have to be black or navy blue anymore. There are now so many alternatives. And the rule this season is the black or grey/harsh. The shape, design, style and colour of your suit matter a lot. Women’s suits have moved from the modest three-piece style to more complex and fitting designs.

Things to consider when wearing a suit

Your camisole must blend with the rest of your outfit.

Your tie must complement your look; and for a cool effect, it should be stylishly knotted.

Your bag colour must complement your shoe colour.

Cuff links are your best bet instead of buttons for your shirt.

Your accessories must mingle with the rest of your outfit.

Drop earrings tips 

Short dresses-Accessorising short dresses can be a challenge because you don’t want to add too much bulk in one place. When selecting jewelry to wear with shorter dresses, look for one statement piece and keep other jewelry to a minimum. A nice pair of drop earrings will do the trick.

Long dresses-Long dresses are very fashionable at the moment because they are easy to wear and they are comfortable. When wearing a long dress, feel free to accessorise more heavily than you would when wearing a short dress. Elaborate drop earrings are fabulous with long dresses and empire-waist gowns.

Modern dresses-Modern dresses are sleek and cool, and most are available in neutral hues, such as black, white, grey and beige. Fashion-forward dresses can benefit from colourful accessories. Vibrant drop earrings will go a long way in personalizing a modern dress.

Vintage dresses-Vintage dresses and vintage-inspired clothing are a big part of the fashion scene right now. To keep a vintage dress fun and light, look for drop earrings with tons of personality.
