- If you want to cover your flabby arms and shoulders, then go for a shrug. It will divert your attention from your arms to your top. You could choose from a variety of styles and lengths. For example, if you are wearing a full-sleeved t-shirt, then you can downplay your arms by adding a T-back shrug over it. The look automatically changes.
4. Know Yourself

The skin tone will also look even and clear from any blemishes. Thus, even if your knees are darkened, you could add extra foundation on it.
- While wearing skirt or trousers and trying to sit, run your hands along the back of the skirt or trouser to avoid creases when you get up. Even when you raise, smooth the skirt or trousers in a delicate manner.

- Never wear worn out clothes or over-used ones. The collars of your shirts must always be clean. If you think that your hair are concealing stained shirt collars, then remember only you can’t see it. Others can easily view the collar.
- Buy at least three to four types of white shirts. This is because white clothes get dirty or faded quickly. Wash your white coloured clothes separately.
- If you find dust, dirt or pet hair on your clothes, then use a lint roll or lint brush.
9. Clothes Clustering
- Use smart methods such as clothes clustering to build and expand your wardrobe. It is a simple method by which you can create different outfits out of a set of clothing and accessories.
Smart Tips To Use Accessories
1. Go Simple
- Do not overdo your outfit with all the accessories you have. Even earrings and a nice ring can enhance yourself.
- In case you are wearing big earrings, then do not wear neckpiece. In case your neckpiece is large, then use small studs.
- Short women should avoid wearing chokers.
- Similarly, if you are wearing a big bracelet, do not overdo with a ring. A big ring is enough even if you are not wearing a bracelet.
- Ethnic dresses are mostly overly embroidered or embellished. Most of the women have a tendency to wear bangles, or big earrings even on such dresses. Avoid this practice. Go for diamond studs or pearl studs and a delicate ring and a bracelet. It will highlight the beauty of your sari or ethnic outfit.
2. Wrist Watch
- If you are more of a watch-person, then wear it as per the occasion. Use classy watch for a formal occasion. If you don’t like wearing bracelets or rings, then a funky watch will always work in a party or informal occasion.
