Important basics

from What Not To Wear


:: Either show off your boobs or your bum, never both in one outfit

:: Only wear shiny fabrics and bright colours on areas that you are sure can stand up to being in the limelight

:: Don't wear clinging clothes, but clothes that skim the body and show off shape. No matter what size you are, there is always shape there.Your wrist or your neck… whatever ever it is, show it off.

:: Wear trousers that are on the larger side rather than too tight; trousers that appear to strain at the seams will make you look fat.

:: Don't wear lots of eye make-up and lots of lipstick.You want to show off one and let the other fade into the background.The same applies to breasts and legs. Show off one or the other, not both.

:: No woman over the age of 35 should wear skirts above the knee.

:: Never wear leather trousers unless you are a biker.They have connotations and, however cold it is, you still sweat in the crotch.You'll look like a gunslinger with a wet pubic area. And they hardly ever flatter anyone's bum.

    I'm British! I'm 45 and still wear skirts above the knee - my legs are one of my best assets and you should show off your assets.

    Invaluable advice that women should run with.....I have been cleaning my closet out lately and have found some clothes I haven't seen in ages that now have a new lease as they match some classic pieces....also threw out almost half my clothes as I don't need that many and found I had doubled up on some without realising it
