How to Choose Your Pants

Today, we mainly want to talk about how to choose your own pants. Pants as the single clothing in our wardrobe is the most common clothing but many people are likely to neglect it. When to choose pants you need to consider the material as well as the outline shape.


Here are two kinds of pants which can show your legs more slender.
Bag-type pants are the pants that the upper part is relatively loose, and the legs part is tight. The pants its legs part is loose which is also called bell-bottoms, and it is completely opposite to the bag-type pants. The upper part is tight and the legs part is loose. These two kinds of pants are completely different when they are worn on. Wide leg pants can tightly wrap the hip and give the legs free space. On the other hand the bag-type pants will give the thighs more flexible space, but when go down to the legs part it will be tighten. Both the outlines of the two kinds of pants can bring people the dynamic visual effect. It is known as "flow" in the plastic art.  

Three standards of selecting a pair of pants
From the waist to the feet, the lower body shape is very complex, but the outline shape of the pants is very simple. The outline shape of the pants depends on several factors, such as the width of the pants, the waist location and length of the pants.
     
First, notice the form of pants. There are several types.
1. Leggings. These pants completely reveal the outline of the legs. It is the best pants that can show sexy type. These pants require the beautiful legs so that they look nice.

2. Straight jeans. As its name straight jeans’ outline is intact vertical from the waist line to the legs. It can make people look neat. It is the pants that can make legs look slender even without revealing the legs.

3. Wide-leg pants. Wide-leg pants can make the legs look longer. And the legs part is wide which can make your hip look thin.

4. Narrow-leg pants. These pants also can make legs look longer. The loose hip part is very delicate which makes it difficult to be guessed the size of buttocks. It can make the hip look round and make people look slim as well.

Second, notice the waist location
Waist position determines the length of the legs. Although your upper body is longer than the lower body, if you wear a pair of high waist pants, which will make it difficult to guess your legs’ length. What’s more, it will highlight the S-shaped curve of the waist with the higher waist line. Then people will focus on your waist line. This kind of high-waist pants will make your legs appear longer and thinner than the real ones.

Third, the length of the pants can influence the one’s appearance, the width of the pants can shape one’s character.


People wear long pants which will make them look elegant and calm, but if they wear the short pants which will make them look young and sexy.


The width of the pants impacts the outline of your lower body. The general shape of the pants is divided into tight pants and loose pants. Tight pants make people look sexy, and loose pants make people look relaxed and light. You need to consider how to wear pants to match the clothes. It is better to wear opposite style, which will make you became more fashionable. Wide pants suit tight T-shirt, and tight-leg pants suit a large coat, that will be more interesting.

I love calling on her when she's at home with Thoby, as she is always so welcoming,  although I have heard in around-about-ways, that I'm known around the household as  Thoby's loud friend...

 For an edgy look, I wore my H&M dress and Sam Edelman's booties. Without being overboard, I added the beige Aldo bag  and colored bangles; it softens the look by adding some colors to the outfit. To complete to look, I had to add my current obsession, which is the round sunglasses. I call it my "rockstar" glasses. :)

How to Choose a Dress

Dress has gradually become a necessity in modern women’s wardrobe. If you wear a suitable, fashionable, and charming dress to take part in the dinner party or other important social occasions, I think you will be the focus and bring the "butterfly" effect. So how to choose a perfect dress that is suitable for yourself?

First, know well about the skin-color, body size and other characteristics of yourself. Details are as follows.


Skin and dress:
White skin - Choose pink color dresses, but to avoid the red or black velvet dresses, because the color is too dark, will give people a sense of disharmony.


Dark and Healthy skin - Choose light-colored dress to match the healthy appearance and set off the dark skin-color. Should avoid pink dresses, otherwise they will be overshadowed by dark skin-color.
Yellow skin – Yellow-color skin makes people look unhealthy. So why not choose the middle color, or the current popular nude color dress. Unless you have a good face shape, or you should avoid too complicated dress.


Body size and dress:
Petite and dainty girls can choose middle and high waist, voile dress or the dress with velvet design on the waist. You’d better avoid the too fluffy dress. And the rotator cuff design should also be as simple as possible. The upper body can have more changes, the waist line can be recommended to have a V-waist design in order to make the body look slender.

Tall people are natural clothes racks, they can try any style of dress, especially the fishtail hem dress can better show the posture. If the leg shape is good, it is recommended to choose a short and simple dress which can highlight the figure advantage.


Plump people can choose straight line tailored dress which looks slimmer. Lace flowers should be a thin flat lace, mustn’t choose a high collar style. The waist shouldn’t be too complicated.


Finally, you should pay attention to the followings
1. Lace is not suitable for the thin girls.
2. The beautiful elements can cause strong visual impact which can immediately attract people’s attention.
3. People whose necks are thin should wear stand-up collar dress which can emphasize the neck line.
4. People whose necks are thickset can try dress has no collar.



Wish all the fashionable people in city can find the most beautiful dress which is suited for them, as they can be the brightest star in the PARTY!
