The Ladies…
All you pretty girls, make sure you stack up your wardrobe with stuff that is going to be hot this year. Throw away those ill-fitting clothes and buy yourself an entirely new variety that will enhance the best features of your body and make you look absolutely stylish. Follow these style tips and trends for staying “in”.
- Get funky and striped sleeveless tees and kurtas for yourself. They can be teamed with jeans and can be accessorized with a chunky belt, in any color. Belts that are made of metal and look like jeweled waistbands are absolutely hot this year, so don’t forget to buy one of those.
- However much we fret about denims, these snug, comfy and extremely stylish clothes never go out of fashion. Make sure you buy a decent pair that has a little flare at the ankles. Jeans with embellishments may look a bit gaudy, but you can always hunt down a pair that has simple crystals just around the pockets.
- Skirts are definitely in and if you have great legs, wear a short skirt with black tights that reach just below the knees. Team it up with a funky tee-shirt and floaters. It makes a great attire for a casual day out with friends.
- Buy a denim caprice that is slightly flared at the ends for a new stylish look. You may also buy them in khaki and neutral colors. They look fantastic and lend that casual atmosphere to your personality.
