Or, probably, if you are a jumpsuit virgin, wearing a jacket on top makes the look more subtle. A jumpsuit is a style that pretty much anyone can get right, but there are some rules you need to follow when thinking about getting a jumpsuit.

Shapes and sizes: If you are of the big size or have bigger legs, then the jumpsuit you should look into is a baggy or loose-fitting style. This is due to the jumpsuit clinging to your natural body shape. For skinnier women, you can pull off any of the shapes and sizes, whether you want to go loose or you want a tighter jumpsuit.

Colours: When you are picking a jumpsuit, you should put into consideration the colours that you are best in.

Most jumpsuits look better when they are in the lighter colours and natural tones rather than the dark tones. If you are unsure of what colour to buy, try a lavender colour or a light pink colour. They also have a lot of very pretty jumpsuits in black, gray, and green colours which can be very attractive if you want to go with something more daring.

Belt: This is almost a must for wearing a jumpsuit because it gives the look more of a casual fashion. You can get a loose belt or a tighter belt depending on the style of the jumpsuit and your overall shape. Most jumpsuits look good if you are wearing a white or black belt loosely fastened in the middle of the jumpsuit.

Foot wears: The jumpsuit look is almost like a dressy look for a lot of people, so you want your shoes to show that casual but yet dressy appearance.

Getting shoes that accentuate the colours of the jumpsuit or your belt are also something you need to consider. Your shoes are going to accentuate the look of your jumpsuit so you might want to make the shoes a plain colour like black or white.

THE general custom of wearing a wrist watch is to wear it on your left wrist if you’re right-handed and to wear it on your right if you’re left-handed. Also, if you’re a righty and your watch is on the left, it’s going to be easier to set and wind.

How to wear a watch

Choose your everyday watch. Your everyday watch should be neutral and durable. Stainless steel is a popular choice as this makes for both neutral and sturdy watches, but people choose basic watches made of all sorts of different materials, including plastic and rubber.

Wear your formal watch to events that require formal wear, for example to weddings, christenings, funerals, formal garden parties or dinners, opera and theatre performances, and other formal events.

You can wear your sports watch with a long sleeve shirt or even a tie to casual events. It is not recommended by fashion experts to wear a sports watch with a suit.

Wear a dress watch. Choose one with a thin black or brown leather band to wear at events that require semi-formal wear, such as a blazer or suit for men, or a dress for women. Try to match your watch strap to your shoes and belt. This makes your entire look more coordinated and sophisticated.

Decide on which wrist you want to wear your watch. Choose the wrist that is most comfortable and where your watch won’t hamper your movements.

This is typically the non-dominant hand, but it’s up to the wearer.

Get the right fit. A man should never wear his wristwatch loose around his wrist. It should fit perfectly, without being too tight or too lose. While women’s watches may be worn as a snug fit or loose around the wrist, like a bracelet. They should never be too tight.

For men, if you’re wearing it with a waistcoat, put your watch in the pocket that’s most convenient to you, then loop the watch chain through the waistcoat’s buttonhole and put the fob in the pocket on the other side.

For men, you’re wearing it with khakis or jeans, simply put your watch in the pocket that is most convenient, loop the watch chain through a belt loop and clip it to it, leaving the fob exposed.

Women can wear a pocket watch for a vintage look. Wear it around your neck on a long chain or fastened on a brooch or pin to be attached on your shirt. Keep other accessories minimal if your woman’s pocket watch is elaborate and highly decorative.

THERE are two common varieties of lime (Citrus aurantifolia): the sweet type and the sour kind. The latter alleviates all three humours vatha, pitta and kapha.

They help with hangovers. A helpful healing concoction to consume the morning after a heavy night of drinking consists of 2 teaspoons of lime juice and 2 pinches of sugar in a glass of water. She says the lime cleanses the liver while the sugar helps pick up glucose levels after their alcoholic drop.

They clean microwaves. Lime juice, about 3 tablespoons mixed with water and heated in the microwave until boiling point is extremely effective at cleaning. It gets splatters off the inside of the microwave as well as any store-bought household cleaning product!

They brighten skin. Adding lime juice to a body scrub (particularly if you are home-making it!) adds vitamin C in, which contains acids and salt that rid skin of dead cells in a rejuvenating way. Ideal for blemish-control: rub lime on your face and leave it for 15 minutes.

They help fight diseases. Adding lime (or, presumably, lemon) juice to a cup of green tea aids the release and digestion of more of the tea’s catechins, or antioxidants that have been shown to reduce the risks of cancer, heart disease, and stroke.

They help get rid of a sore throat. Mixing lime juice with a little bit of honey (best together in tea) is an effective way to soothe throat pains.

They help lessen the itchiness of mosquito bites. Rubbing lime on mosquito bites should aid in itch-relief. This trick should also work for stings from coral.

They soothe headaches. Placing lime on your head should lessen the pain of an average headache. They have also been shown to reduce fever when applied this way.

They help to get rid of dandruff. Rubbing lime juice onto your scalp for 15-20 minutes and then rinsing it out should moisturise the skin and get rid of extra flakes, leaving you dandruff-free!

They lighten your hair. As with lemon juice, streaking some lime juice in your hair and spending some time in the sun should leave those streaked sections noticeably lighter than the rest of your hair. Repeat more times for enhanced streak.

They get rid of kitchen odours. Grind a lime into a sink garbage disposal for an overall fresher scent.
