There are so many options in fashionable hair accessories. Accessories for your hair include scrunchies in a myriad of colors and fabrics, headbands, elegant barrettes, and even clip-on hair extensions. You should probably have more than a few hair accessories in your wardrobe. For example, if you want to look athletic, wear an athletic suit and a matching ponytail holder. When going out, pick a headband that goes with your outfit.

Do not wear your hair too dark if you have lighter skin and/or lighter eyes. While darker hair looks nice on people that have darker eyes and skin tones, it will only make you look washed out. If you must darken your hair, put some streaks in it in order to brighten them up.

Don’t wear current trends just because they are what everyone else is doing. Although a trend may look incredible on someone, it may not look so great on you. Wear things that are your taste and not everything you read in magazines. You are going to want to go with your gut on this. They’ll lead you right.

If you have “problem” hair, you may be washing it too much. It’s not always a good idea to wash your hair daily. When you do this, you strip natural oils and end up with a chemical buildup on your hair. If you must wash your hair daily, use gentle, natural shampoo and conditioner and don’t scrub your hair. Just stroke the product through it and let it rinse out gently under warm, running water. Allow your hair to air dry rather than blow-drying.

Clean out your closet on a regular basis. The old saying “out with the old, in with the new” was never more applicable than in the world of fashion.

When finding the right coat, it is important that you find one with the right fit. A good coat will flatten the shape of your upper body. It should be just loose enough so that you can reach insider to get something out of your breast pocket. Any looser and your look will not be chic.

Quilted fabrics are expected to be in style this winter and fall. You will find this material available on just about any type of clothing. Quilted fabrics are meant to be worn loosely, but if you aren’t careful, they can leave you looking bigger than you are.

For a slimming effect, create color blocks. For example, wear a skirt, hose and shoes that are all the same color. This will create the visual impression of a block of color, which will make you look slimmer than you actually are. This can also be a way to make a bold statement.

Go ahead and buy an extra if a piece of clothing fits perfectly. It’s difficult to find a pair of jeans or a dress that fits right off the rack. When in doubt, stick with what works for you. If you do manage to find something flattering, buy two.

You should have a minimum of three handbags in your wardrobe. The first handbag should be a standard, a leather handbag with classic lines for everyday wear. The next handbag should be a large tote-style handbag to use on those casual days when you need to grab and go. You should also have a clutch bag for those sort of special occasions as well.
