1st April - Fashion Mistakes

Today is the April Fool's Day

Well girls, hope you weren't the victim today.

Let's look at some Fashion Faux Pas that you 'must' avoid:

- Excessive Matching: Going too matchy-matchy is one mistake that many people make. Blue top, blue eyeliner, blue necklace and blue shoes with black pants. Imagine? It looks ghastly. But sadly, many girls do that, including celebs.

- Wearing Too many Colours: Using too many colours is an ensemble is a common mistake. Ideally, don't wear more than three colours for an easy on the eye co-ordinated look.

- Wearing too many prints: Don't mix and match print. It does not look pleasant to the eye and looks far too busy. Choose a print on top or bottom. Avoid both. Same goes for accessorries. A print bag with a print dress will not look nice.

- Too much makeup: Wearing too much make-up looks horrible and can be a image destructive thing. The most common mistake is wearing too much foundation. Don't think it looks natural and people don't notice. They do.

- Wearing trends that don't suit you: Keep in mind your age and body type while deciding what to wear or buying the latest fashion trend. Only wear items you look good in and not just something because it looks great on someone else. Be sensible.
You don't have to follow every fashion because you have seen a celebrity or a good looking girl on the street wear it or seen it in a fashion show - wear only what suits you.

- Visible Bra and Panty Lines: No it does not look fashionable. Especially on a formal event. Wear undergarments that are the right size for you. Don't try to squeeze into smaller size, it shows and looks horrendous.

You see how bad it looks? Even celebrities make blunders when it comes to selecting the right lingerie. To avoid visible panty lines, buy no-VPL knickers or boy shorts. There are strapless bras, multi-way bras and other variants in the stores to ensure that your bra doesn't show.

RED is the NEW BLACK - Winter Coats

Red Coats stole limelight from the classic black this Winter. A red coat can add new life to neutral and monochromatic clothing. It's a piece that'll make you feel good every time you put it on and is a must-have to bring some colour in this downturn. Red will be trendy for long as it looks cute, feminine and youthful.

The Celebrities have been doing their best to flaunt their red coats from street to red carpet, day and evening. I am loving their red-hot look, a chic coat is the ultimate cold weather accessory.

Favourite celeb styles......

Like it for the day on Katherine while Heidi's night pick looks fab too.

Nicole Richie

Nicole never gives a miss. She looked stylish and stayed cosy warm in the bright red coat, a slouchy black beanie, skinny black jeans and black stiletto Louboutins at Beverly Hills. I think she wears the red coat best. What do you think?

Cheryl Cole

The Hollywood is all Red while the Bollywood girls are yet to showcase this trend.

Add a splash to colour with a red coat. And trust me a classy style in red will never go out of fashion. It would be a smart winter investment.

How to wear?

My favourite style is to throw a red jacket over anything (black or grey) with black opaque tights and black pumps. You sure will turn heads.

Red Coat Buying Guide

- choose a well-fitted coat with smart cuts. The style, cut and fit in a red coat is very important. A wrong choice can make up look like a Santa Claus.

- Choose a simple silhouette like A-line.

- Buy a good quality red coat, you can go away with a budget black coat, but not Red. The poor quality would show and it would look rather gawkish.
