You should leave home your shame, when the spring and especially – summer, come. The reason is simple: transparent fabrics like chiffon are always on vogue. There is no need to observe the fashion weeks in Paris, London or Milan to know the three winners of the designers for hot weather and super elegant dresses: the well known silk, sheer chiffon and sexy lace in different colors. These lightweight fabrics make every woman look more feminine and provocative, while being comfortable in wearing.
 Many fashion designers assess the chiffon as an everlasting fabric. This beautiful material is delicate and elegant at the same time. It can be made from different fibers, but mainly chiffon is woven with silk, cotton or synthetic yarns. Actually, the pure chiffon must be made of 100% silk. However, silk is very weak, especially when the item is wet, therefore to avoid breaking the producers insert cotton and mane made fibers in the yarns’ blends. When placed in front of the light, the tightly twisted yarns of the chiffon are visible. The cotton or man made fibers make the fabric a bit hard, but at the same time this chiffon is stronger, with visible shine and significantly cheaper.
 
The production of chiffon is extremely difficult: the yarns have slippery texture, which is very difficult to be woven. But chiffon is one of the favourite materials in the design of formal wear because of his drapery abilities and excellent vision of the clothing. It is used mainly for making evening gowns, because the materials looks fine, lies free and is very convenient for every kind of activity. In most cases, however, chiffon gowns require lining because of the transparency of the fabric. Silk chiffon is very modern, pleasant to touch and looks very sexy in jackets, gowns and skirts. Polyester chiffon is harder, but more durable and is used in production of scarves, ladies’ hats and even lampshades. Chiffon is frequently used in haute couture collections of Karl Lagerfeld, John Galliano, Christian Lacroix, Valentino and others.
 Large prints and bold colors attract much attention to the transparent chiffon and it becomes more noticeable. Fashion colours for romantic natures include pale yellow, baby pink and sky blue, whilst chiffon in coral, gold, magenta, purple or turquoise is suitable for brave persons. Keeping up with the latest fashion trends you will definitively feel good and comfortable in light fabrics clothes or accessories, being ready for every special occasion in your life!

The wedding dress is one of the most important items in the happiest day in the life of every woman. A lot of women have a lot of dreams concerning the wedding ceremony. But the road from the dreams to the reality could be long and sometimes – boring. When you finally meet the right person and have the courage to stand before the altar, a complete madhouse may start. Whilst the future bride is dealing with thousands of details, the only important thing for her is actually the wedding dress.
The wedding dress must be perfect! It doesn’t matter that the bride is wearing it only few hours… However, no compromises have to be done, as the wedding dress is the most important dress in your life. The start point in the choice of a wedding dress has to be your figure. Certainly, your personal taste and style are also key factors, as you have to feel well in the particular dress. Forget about traditions and fashion trends! They both can make you do a wrong choice.
Thin and tall figures
If you are thin and tall, choose a strapless dress, which is optically divided into two parts by ornamentation, belt, etc. Avoid elaborated models with excessive volume. French lace dress over silk taffeta is a great choice. All details on hips and waist that attract the attention are very good idea.
Large and tall figures
Slightly flared skirt will make your larger hips or thighs really invisible. To draw the eyes to other parts of your body, select a corset with pronounced neckline. A very good idea for you would be a wedding dress in three parts: straight skirt, tight corset, and a long tunic of sheer and transparent fabric. Details should be placed in the upper part of the body – around the neckline.
Thin and short figures
The most suitable for a bride with a fine outline is a simple cut wedding dress with high waist. Wide and volume skirt will be a good solution, as it optically will make you look taller. If you have nice legs, go for a mini dress with a rolling gingerbread train!
Large and short figures
The best model for your wedding dress will be one with empire waist and vertical decorations on the whole dress or at least on the skirt. This way your silhouette will be optically made slimmer and taller. The flared skirt will screen the shortcomings of your thighs. If the neckline of the dress is highlighted, it will attract the attention to your bust. Look for models with short sleeves or a cover of the hands – do not go for sleeveless or strapless cuts. You will also feel comfortable with a straight wedding dress, surrounded by silk or chiffon tunic.
Perfect figures
Actually, all types of wedding dresses will fit to your perfect figure. However, the most beautiful wedding dress for you will be the “Mermaid†type: it is long and straight, with some flared flounce near the legs. This cut will definitively highlight your ideal bust, hips, and waist. If you like your skin, go for open on the back or strapless model.
French women are known in the fashion world as being able to dress properly in all occasions. It is not a chance that France is the leading country in the world of haute couture and prêt-a-porter, whilst the French designers are symbols of the best abilities in vogue in the world. Everything has its backgrounds and one of the reasons for that is in the natural style and elegance of French ladies.
It is not an easy task to give suggestions how to dress like a French woman, as it has to be felt from inside. Proper dressing and behave have to be like your second nature. But there are some rules, which are good to be known and – to be followed or adopted.
• Find the clothing style that fits to your figure and nature. This is the main secret of the French women: they do not follow the fashion trends blindly, but have a “nose†how to use them to underline the beauty of their faces and bodies. Even the young French girls have been taught what to wear to show their advantages.
• Buy expensive, but high quality clothes. It is not true that the wardrobes of French women are full: actually, they buy less, but high quality fashion pieces, instead of hundreds of cheap clothes. Their secret is that they go for classical styles and cuts and look for fashionable accessories, shoes, and bags. Thus they may buy only one quality piece of clothes per season, but it will make them elegant for years.
• Go for simple style. Simple cuts, but classical and elegant can be found in the wardrobe of every French lady. The fuzzy style is simply unknown. Forget about too colorful patterns, bows and curls, as well as eye-catching metallic or bold effects. Do not forget, that Coco Chanel has converted the classical and somehow boring man suit into a very sexy clothing for women, that emphasizes the femininity.
• Think about accessories. The French women observe very well the rule: less is better. They may have one scarf and one necklace, but know when to put it and how to wear it. The jewelry follows the rule of the wardrobe – better one, but of high quality. Hats are very special accessory for French ladies: but these are not the pompous designs of English hats, but small, feminine and simple hats like the beret, for example.
• Be ready. Build the habit to have at least one cocktail dress on hand for unexpected situations: night party, birthday, or just an evening out. French ladies are so fast: even the invitation comes one hour before the event, they have the look and self-confidence of a movie star. If you need, make a list with the proper combinations in your wardrobe and have it on the door of your wardrobe.
• Be charming. The charm is something, that French women have all days and nights. They do not expect someone to happen so as to look well. They look well all the time!

Seventies. Many women (and men!) will be happy to see the new return of the mini skirts. Mini and midi are the two welcome lengths of the skirt and wrap halter dresses.

Prints. Not just the prints are on fashion, it is matter of a match and mixture of prints. This is an amazing ability for you to wear one piece of clothes in five or ten different ways.

Bold colors. Bold colors are typical for the fashion of 70s as well, but in the 2011 trends they have their own place. The most important here is to have at least one bold color on you and if it is closer to your face – it’s better. Many women avoid bold colors, but there is at least one, which fits well to your skin and eyes. Just try several and make your choice. Electric blue, bright red, yellow and orange are the favorites for the season. If you are still in doubt, you may always wear pure white next to the face and move bold colors on the skirt or trousers.
Eclectic. To be honest, eclectic is always on the top of fashion trends. There is nothing more feminine and modern at the same time, than to combine different styles from the same season themes or from different times. Boho Chic or Bohemian style make every woman feel like fashion designer and create her own style.
Pajama. You really need an excellent figure to wear “palazzo†pants. Even in this case the outline seems to be shorter and fatter. The designers may propose what they want, but it has to be always a personal choice if to wear the “fashion item†or not. If you really like to try pajama dressing – go ahead! Probably it will fit you…
Minimal white. Designers this season are at one with the white color – they all agree that white color has several shades. Be creative and find out the white shade, which fits best to your tanned face. And don’t forget, that white is always the color of the summer!
Shoes are as old as human kind and they were always an important part of people’s lives mostly for practical reasons. Fashion shoes became widely available in ancient Greece and Egypt. Women were having the same habit as women today, to have as many shoes as possible. However, there were still places where only wealthy people could afford shoes. High heel shoes were popular in Egypt but became a fashion icon in the 18 century. In more contemporary times, high heels were in fashion in 50’s, 70’s, 80’s, and early 90’s.
When it comes to heels, there are different types: stilettos, cone, puppy, kitten, wedge, etc. Stilettos are in fashion in 2011 so make sure you buy a pair. The great thing about these shoes is that they never really go out of fashion and they look amazing on your legs.
Wedge heels are also a must have this season because it seems that designers create and use them in their fashion shows. These were very trendy in the last years and although people don’t wear them so often they are still in trend. If you find them comfortable, you shouldn’t be afraid to wear them.
Platforms and high heels – With chunky heels and platforms you will look a bit extravagant if that’s what you are aiming for. However, if you are planning a feminine outfit, try to avoid these types of heels.
It seems that different patterns and color combinations on shoes are something designers loved to use this year. Some may look weird like those shoes with strange geometric heels and different textures, but if you want something special you should at least choose shoes that have two or even three colors on them. They give you a special naughty independent look, so if you are aiming for that, they are perfect.
Flat shoes are also in trend, especially sandals for this summer. It doesn’t matter if you are a man or a woman; the sandals are in trend for both genders. You can choose ethnic sandals if you are into that trend or if you like gladiator style sandals you can always combine them with pants or a nice skirt. Ballerina shoes are again in fashion and this is mostly because they are a very confortable choice for any outfit. For an elegant look, you can always buy a pair of ballerina shoes that have romantic designs or different elegant patterns.
As you can see, shoes gained a lot of importance in fashion in the last 200-300 years and they are an important part of our look so make sure you always buy quality products.
