10.1 Tips and Tricks

Here are a few fashion tricks you can try if they suit you:

If you have an oval shape body, with a tummy you’d like to hide, uses big handbags which will obscure

the view in that area.

If your fingers are short, you may not tend to wear rings, but if you choose an extra-large style of ring, it

will draw attention to itself, not your fingers.

If your neck is short, wear long, stylish necklaces to give the impression of length.

If your neck is too long, reduce the effect of this feature by wearing collars with rounded edges.

If you want to draw attention to your face and not your legs or other parts of your body, focus all the

attention upwards: wear berets, fedora hats, headdresses, scarves, tiaras. This will bring the focus to your

face and head, leaving everything else in the background!

Accessories are a fantastic tool to divert attention towards where you want it and therefore away from

where you don’t! Make them part of your wardrobe and use them wisely.

10.2 The use of accessories

Instructions

You’ve learned which colors and clothes you look and feel best in. What about accessories? Some

women feel unsure about what to choose and when to wear them but using accessories well can optimize

your look.

Accessories are the final ingredient to complete your outfit. They give versatility to your garments and

different choices can give the same dress a completely different look.

Formerly, accessories were a luxury item until Coco Chanel made the use of costume jeweler popular.

If you want to buy pieces that are fashionable, opt for inexpensive items but if you want fine jeweler,

invest in classic and timeless designs that you can use forever.

When choosing your accessories, consider your body shape as you do when choosing clothes.

If you have a small frame, wear small or medium sized accessories so you don’t look excessive. The

protagonist is you, not what you wear.

If you’re of medium size, you’re free to choose accessories of all lengths and sizes.

If you’re tall and broad, choose medium or large accessories. Take note especially of the size of

handbags so they look proportionate and harmonize your figure.

Wear accessories that suit the time of year. Leather handbags are for winter and those made from light

fabrics for summer.

Also, bear in mind the look you want to portray and where you'll be wearing the added pieces.

Accessories help to bring focus to a point you want to emphasize and divert attention away from where

you want to hide.

For example: if you have a prominent bust and don’t want attention on it, choose a large collar at the

neck which directs attention away from the chest.

Finally, the saying ‘less is more’ really is true when it comes to accessories. If you’re using an ornate

necklace, any remaining accessories should be almost imperceptible.
