03/02/2017 /

The word office wear is slowly being replaced with formal wear. This is because people do not have to be dictated by the office setting but more than the business environment. Look at Bibi Bijoux for formal jewelery inspiration. This is the why many corporate organizations are encouraging their staff to switch from office to formal wear.

Long gone are the days when suits were the ideal wear for women. The rules have now changed, and fashion is now diverse to incorporate every decent and acceptable piece of clothing. All you have to do is bring some creativity and do not go to the extreme levels trying to impress.

When it comes to formal dressing, try and stick to the formal colors that are not too bright and destructive. Some of the colors acceptable in the formal world are brown, black, gray, navy blue and beige. These colors show seriousness in business, and they are not provocative in anyway. When wearing for a formal occasion, make this your formal colors, but you can add few hints of other colors like white, baby pink and purple.

Dresses, pants and skirts

All these are part of the formal wear but what matters is how you decide to wear them. For instance, make your pants ankle length to cover part of your shoe. Wearing pant is a bit tricky because they should be the right fit, not too tight and not too baggy. Dress should be the straight dresses, avoid flared, pleated and fancy dresses for the office.

A Jeans That Makes You Look Slimmer

08/02/2015 /

At first it sounded like a simple question that one could answer without breaking a sweat and after giving it some thought I figured out that I had no idea at all.

We all love jeans, and almost everyone has a couple of pairs, but very few people know that some types of jeans can make you look slimmer than you are.

After doing some research, I was able to come up with a list of four types of jeans that can make you look slimmer if you wear them properly.

  1. Flare Jeans

This type of jeans has been around for a very long time and are always coming and going out of fashion. If you find the right pair of flare jeans whether they are in fashion or not you ca look slimmer in them. To look slimmer in this jeans, one should find a pair that stays slim throughout the thigh and only flares out at the knee. To prove that they make a person look slimmer just look at a picture of anyone you know wearing flare jeans and compare that to what they look like in real life.

  1. Skinny Jeans

This is probably the tightest type of jeans that one can buy, and this alone should be an indication that they will make you look slimmer. This kind of jeans has a snug fit in the leg and A tapered fit at the ankle. For you to look slimmer in this kind of jeans look for a dark colored one and pair it with dark colored boots to lengthen your leg line.


  1. Straight Jeans

These jeans as the name suggests are the same width from the knee down. Due to their straight design they make a person’s legs appear longer which in turn makes them look slimmer. If you get the right pair of straight jeans, they can also make your legs look thinner since they do not have any details like bleaching that can make your legs stand out.

  1. Bootcut Jeans

This type of jeans taper on your knees and then widen at the bottom. The widening is meant to enable the jeans fit over a pair of woman in black blouse boots since they are popularly worn with boots. The slimming effect of Bootcut jeans comes from the fact that they widen out from the knees which will bring about a balance with the upper body.

The next time a friend or a relative asks you “what type of jeans will make me look slimmer?” you can recommend the above four types. However, it is important also to let them know that how they dress the jeans will also play a significant role in giving them a slimmer look.
