It can be hard to be fashionable. The hardest part here is actually figuring out where to start from to look your best. There is a lot to learn and things to think about when creating your own fashions. The following article has tips and tricks that can help.

You should always own a white blouse in your basic wardrobe. You can wear practically any color bottom to match. Pair it with slacks for a casual look for work. Wear a full skirt for times when you are going out for a nice dinner. Wear jeans with it for an active look.

Wear cropped pants in a more flattering way by choosing capris, pedal pushers, and bermuda shorts that do not fall at the widest part of your calf. Choose pants that end above the knee or closer to the ankle. You should also avoid flared styles to keep your look streamlined.

Accentuate the positive. Look for items of clothing that show off your attributes. If you have a great waistline, look for clothing that features an embellished mid-line or add an attractive belt. If have a great neckline, draw the eye in that direction with a fancy collar or fun necklace.

If you notice your hair frizzing when it is dry, try applying just a little leave-in conditioner from the top to the bottom of your hair follicles. If your hair is very curly, use a serum instead and start around the middle of your hair rather than at the crown. These tactics will help to smooth things out and help you to look your best.

If you have a lighter skin tone and you are looking to dye your hair a darker shade, consider dying it a dark shade of brown instead of opting for jet black. Choosing a brown tone is much more flattering since it will not make you look too washed out.

You can't go wrong with a pair of shades. If you have had a rough, sleepless night, or you just don't feel like putting on makeup, shades can be your best friend. By wearing them, you can hide your puffy eyes, and they always add some style for any event.

There are a certain few pieces that should be in every woman's wardrobe. Your basics should include two or more pairs of dark colored dress pants, and two pairs of jeans, one to wear with heels and the other to wear with flat shoes. And last but not least, you need that proverbial "little black dress" if you're serious about making a fashion statement.

Be honest when you look at yourself in the mirror and learn what needs to be highlighted as well as hidden. Smaller frames mean you want light, fitted fabrics to lengthen your body. If you have a large bust, put the emphasis on the lower half of your body with a great skirt or pants. If you have a pear shape then you should try to wear light tops with darker bottoms.
