Ladylike glamour
August 1st 2009 08:51
As a female, I think fashion definitely works in our favour. There are times when I look at men’s clothing options and do feel a tad sorry for them. And then I look at how some ladies dress and I feel sorry for them too. When we have so many options and opportunities to look fabulous, why would anyone insist on wearing anything that makes you look less than a million bucks? Ladylike glamour is where it’s at, and when so many designers make that so easy for us, getting about looking like a trollop is, in my opinion, inexcusable.
When you look to the greats of the fashion world it’s easy to see that looking like a lady is a fundamental for the establishment of some of the most coveted houses. Chanel for example never goes out of style, and her elegant lines and feminine suits live on. She didn’t send women down the runway in torn stockings and knicker-skimming skirts, and neither should you strut your own daily runway in such attire. You only need look to one of the world’s most highly sought after labels – Prada – and their take on fashion to realise that being a lady is not just important, but fashionable. Prada specialises in minimalism through simple designs and for the most part, a lack of contrasting colours. Prada has been designed for fashionable folk who want to look classic, fashionable and stylish without beating those around them over the head with their fashion choices.
Looking like a lady doesn’t mean you have to be boring or dress like your nana. But it does mean carrying yourself with poise and style, and exuding that from your ensemble too. There’s a time and a place for lace and pearls of course, but day to day ladylike glamour means looking stylish without resorting to flashing your bits to get attention. Granted, if you’re in the market for male attention go for gold getting your boobs out, but when you’re headed to work or a fabulous dinner, you can still show off what you’ve got without slipping a nipple every time you lean slightly forward.
Working with your best assets without venturing into trashy territory is actually very easy if you’re choosing the right cuts and fabrics for your body shape. And if you do decide you want to highlight a particular body part, it’s wise to choose just the one at a time to make the most of. A short dress with crazy high heels to show off your amazing legs possibly doesn’t require a scandalously plunging neckline too for example. Forgotten fabulous areas are also a good focal point – like a great back. A backless dress can be totally sexy without being overly showy – a fine example of ladylike glamour!
Yes, sometimes you may want to be a tad more outrageous with your outfits, and now and again that’s fine but you need to be prepared for the necessary gawking from both genders. But when it comes to fashion, actually, when it comes to every aspect of life as a lady, it’s always good to remember that class never goes out of style.
