It always feels good to look good and with so much advertising, style trends and fashion setters out there it can be difficult to figure out what is going on. Thats why here at FashionPash we have compiled some top tips on how to wear the latest trends so you always look good therefore you always feel good.

How to Treat Leopard Print

Leopard print is really in right now but there is a lot of confusion on how your should treat it in regards to the rest of your wardrobe. The rule of thumb is that you should treat all animal prints as neutral. That way you can mix in some excitement with your prints.

Khaki

Khaki is so versatile and in our opinion is overlooked to often. You can wear a khaki jacket with an all black ensemble. Wear it open for that more casual look. You should look into getting a Khaki jacket into your wardrobe especially the ones made of light materials sometimes known as a “shacket.” There are some really nice examples at Dorothy Perkins right now and here is a little code we have been saving to buy ourselves one.

Wear All Black

Dont be afraid to wear all black as not only will it make you look fantastic instantly it will also make you look slimmer. All black cuts a powerful silhouette out of any figure and you will be thanking us for this tip in the future. It will also save you some precious minutes in the morning because everything will match!

Red Lipstick

A little bit of red lipstick can pull an outfit together instantly. Not only will it do that it will also balance your skin tone and brighten your face. So if you are having a jeans and a T Shirt day break out the red lipstick and watch it transform you. A little goes a long way.

Skinny Jeans

Its time to take a step back from skinny jeans. No matter how much you love them its time to start thinking about the different shapes denim has to offer. Think about flares. Wide bottom trousers are back in this year and by proxy that means a pair of flared jeans will make you a trend setter not a follower.

Sequins

People are afraid to wear sequins but if you wear tham all the same colour from head to toe it will make you look fantastic. So the next time you have an important evening date dont overlook wearing that long flowing red sequins dress that you have always thought about wearing but haven’t found the “occasion” yet.

Just Add Scarf

A scarf will take the most boring of outfits and transform it into something new and exciting. Jeans and a shirt has never looked so good when you combine a scarf with our red lipstick tip.

Band T Shirts

With a 1990’s resurgence just around the corner there has never been a better time to start looking up some of the best bands the decade had to offer. That means when you stick on one of their T Shirts not only will you look satisfyingly “rock n roll” you will also have the music knowledge.

Some things never go out of style and your wardrobe is the same. There are a certain amount of items that every woman should own. They should be your go to things. When you are unsure about what will complete a look then these items will get you back on track. Trust us if you follow this guide you will find more often than not that they will never steer you wrong.

Black Pumps

You will always get bang for your buck with a pair of classy black pumps. They work with everything whether you are out of the house with your jeans on or you are in work. A quality set of black pumps will last you a lifetime. When picking the perfect pair look for almond shaped toes. Pointed toes have a time and a place but an almond shape is always fashionable. Another top tip is to get yourself a pair of matte black pumps. That way you will have more options available to you over patent or suede.

Trench Coat

These coats have been around since the 1800’s and have looked great ever since. No matter what your body type or shape a trench coat looks great on everyone. A top tip would be to go for a neutral colour when picking out a trench coat and look for classic details such as a tie in waist, medium lapels and a double breasted bodice.

Pencil Skirt

A pencil skirt is one of the most versatile garments you will ever own. They work great for all occasions. A night on the town. A day in the office. A lunch with friends your trusty pencil skirt will have you covered. A top tip would be to make sure your pencil skirt is between 2% and 5% spandex. That way it will give you a little extra shape.  If you buy one in black you will be able to wear it with just about anything.

A Little Black Dress

Some times its good to give in to a cliche. Every woman in the world should have themselves a little black dress. You can wear it to work, on date, on a dress down day, just about every occasion you can think of. When picking out your Little Black Dress get one that is knee length or shorter. A classic shape is always a safe bet too. Never over embellish your little black dress. Stay away from wearing over the top jewellery. Less is more. focus you attention on your shoes and your bag and that little black dress will do the rest.

Its always good to keep up with trends but what is in right now and what will stay in till the end of the year. We decided to investigate. We looked at what new styles have hit the market this year and how you can keep up with ever changing fashion trends.

Double Denim

Denim never goes out of style. Its like a leather jacket. You will always find an occasion or a day to rock the look and the same goes with denim but the denim trend has went way beyond the realms of just jeans and jackets. The denim dress is where it is at this year. Its comfy to wear and has an edge to it. Make sure you have one in your wardrobe this year.

Wide Leg Trousers

The time has come to take those skinny jeans and trousers and get them in the loft. These things always come back around but this is the year of wide leg trousers and we are thrilled that it has finally arrived.  They are slimming. They are flattering on all types of figure and the most important thing of all. They are comfy. Its not often you get to look great and feel comfortable but the new dawn of wide leg trousers will see to that.

Pearls

Pearls are a big, big thing right now and now that you have read this you will see them everywhere you go. They are on purses and bags. They are on dresses, shoes and jackets and traditional pearl jewellery style looks better than ever. We love it.

Embellished Trainers

This year embroidery and embellishment has made its way onto our footwear. Last year every shop on the high street had embroidered jeans and jackets but things have changed. This year the latest style of trainers are arriving with floral patterns emblazon on them.

We all want to look our best and believe it or not its the simple things that make the most difference so in saying that we have compiled a list of some of the best quick fashion tips that you can use start to use straight away.

Showing Skin Strategically

You need a bit of mystery in your life and that should spill out into your wardrobe and your fashion sense. Choose a body part to show off and only one body part. If you want to show off your legs then keep your top half covered and vice versa.

Make Sure Your Accessories Are Bright

If your wardrobe is full of neutrals colours like greys, navies, blacks and browns then be bold with everything else. Grabs a bright pink handbag or a purple pair of shoes. If you want to go one step further then go bold with a pair of shoes and a handbag but make sure the colours compliment each other.

Double Down

If you find something right off the rack that fits like a dream then double down on it. Get more than one in a different colour. How can that possibly be a bad thing?

Grab A Scarf

Tuck a scarf into your handbag or purse and carry it with you. A simple knot round your neck will completely transform and outfit in seconds.

Love Your Shape

Love what you are. Its easy to jump on trends and wear things that are fashionable don’t flatter the person you are. Sometimes its a much better idea to ignore what is going on around you and be you. Wear the clothes that make you look and feel good and ignore what everyone else is doing.

Make A List

Make a list before you hit the high street but don’t fill it with what you want but of the things you already have in your wardrobe that you love. That will help you to home in on the things you like and will compliment what you already have rather than buying something that will require another three pieces to get the most out of.
