DRESS SENSE

DRESS SENSE (contd)
By Nnamdi Bonny DO’S AND DON’TS FOR MEN
-It is rather indecent to do down your buttons, exposing inner garment.
-Bold suits and shirts are rather obsolete. In today’s fashion, smart and body-fitting outfits have long taken the stage.
-Tee-shirts must strictly be worn with denim trousers (i.e jeans wears) or some other firm material like chinos.
-Collared shirts must be worn with singlet inside, but if vests must be worn please let them be plain without obvious patterns.
-Transparent or see-through shirts must be limited to picnics (especially beach outings). It could betray indecency if worn anywhere else.
-It is fashionably unfashionable to wear a pair of socks in flip flop foot wear or “pams”.

DO’S AND DON’TS FOR LADIES
A whole lot of ladies have been observed to break certain fashion rules owing to their ignorance of what is appropriate. To avert this, the following tips will be necessary.
-For ladies who love to look fanciful, it is important to know that the more fanciful the dress is the fewer the accessories should be.
-In the use of make-ups, moderation is principal. Heavy make-ups should be avoided as much as possible during the day.
-Be sure to wear the right colour of brown powder and foundation, one that suits your skin colour so it is not obvious to everyone your are wearing a brown powder.
-Carving of eyebrows must be done in consonance with the shape of one’s face. Thin eyebrows do not fit bold faces. However, avoid totally removing the natural eyebrows.
-Different skin colours match different eye pencils. Ladies with really dark skins are advised to use black eye pencils. Brown eye pencils go well with brown skins and light skins could have brown or wine-red mixed with brown colour.
-The shape and size of your lips should determine the colour of your lipstick. Ladies with big lips should avoid “hot-red” lipsticks as it only serves to emphasize how big one’s lips are. Lighter shades and mild colours serve better in such a case.
-Skin colour determines the colour of blush to go for. Dark ladies should steer clear of pink and other bright-coloured blushes. Dark-red colour would be appropriate for dark complected skins
