Uyi Iredia: This thread is bias for the ladies. Just saying.

Have you even looked through the thread or you jus want to comment? Anyway, ladies are to an extent more fashion enthusiasts hence fashion write ups generally tends to biased towards d ladies.

Hi Uzoo
Thanks this has been of tremendous help to me.
I'm a lady but tend to the boyish 'I dont care' type of dressing.
1. Please give combinations that are though tommish, yet sexy. (corporate nd casual)
2. Also, I want to look like a lady, What are the first things to get to make the cross (bearing in mind that its on a tight budget-student things)
Thanks.

How about rocking bow ties to interviews? Is it cool?


Will also like to know whether bow ties can be used on all occasions or certain occasions.

Thanks in advance

you do not Rock a bow tie to work not to talk of an Interview, you only wear it to cocktail parties.
I don't think it is also appropriate(maybe not cool) for church

You are welcome.

@kaza4blues
Quite on the contrary ,Bow ties can be worn to any formal event , and that includes interviews. Quite a lot of people believe that the Bow tie is only meant to be worn for occassions and parties , this is not the case ,the Word here is ''TIE'' ,so whether its a bow tie or your traditional tie its still a tie.

Now having said this , you have to consider the suit when putting on a bow Tie to an Interview, i would rather you check what you have in your wardrobe to see that the suit is the right one for the Bow tie.

Here's a Tip.

For a small Bow tie (the ones that are not too wide ) you have to wear them with the type of jacket that has smaller Lapels.
And for a bold Bow tie with wider wings,a jacket with a wider Lapel will be best suited for it.

A bow tie often gives a more conservative look ,and this look is what you will find amongst people in the Academic circle ( Professors, Lecturers and the likes).

If you are on the bulky side i would advice you go for the second tip and for a slimmer neck sized male the first tip works well.

@Yield
I see you too


@maingwaest
hmm... traditional weddings are all about Glam ,you can look as glamorous as you want with just a dress with or without the signature Traditional head gear. Quick question though, are you going for a western styled dress , or you are referring to skirts and blouses and dresses you would like to make by your self Using (laces,Ankara print, e.t.c).
in the mean time , i will come up with some suggestions ,while i wait for your answers


@idadaniel
Going for a Tom-boy look depends on 2 things , 50 percent is the Dress , and the other 50 percent is your mannerism.(the way you carry the dress on you) I could come up with a pair of cargo pants in army print (camou) with pockets all over as a casual look , but when you pair it on two different ladies.the interpretation will only come out the way they walk or sit in the pants,the way they carry their hair do in the same pants, the facial look e.t.c.
But since you are gradually trying to make the switch ,it should be easy.

i would appeal to you all to hang on till i can sort out my files and get back to you on pictures and co-ordinations.


thanks.

@Chiopatra

@Flawless Diva

nice

Sorry guys , i have been so busy , and hardly had time to come on here for an update.Anyways thanks everyone for your appreciations and do remember that you can send in your questions here or through my twitter handle @P_A_T_W if you wish to remain anonymous.

So i was browsing through my old files and i just wanted to share this particular tip on how to dress A pear shaped figure.

HOW TO FLATTER YOUR PEAR SHAPE

A pear shaped woman or person is one that looks more like a triangle where the region around the waist,abdomen,hips and upper thighs have more of the weight or size of the person concentrated. Here the shoulders are more slender in size than the waist area, the bust region is lesser in size than the hip region and the legs are usually skinny or slightly equal in size with the arms and shoulders.

Tips.
When getting a pair of pants/trousers , try to get the ones that are straight cut or wide leg jeans/trousers,this will help to balance the areas around your hips and waist by giving you a flattering figure.

When putting on a top or blouse try to get them fitted around the waist to give an illusion of an hour glass figure.

For an hour glass figure do the same with the dress.

The picture below should be helpful in making the right decisions when going shopping for clothes.

CELEBRITIES THAT HAVE A PEAR SHAPED FIGURE.

Spanishmario: Can I wear a coloured fancy shoe(wine) wiv a native attire

By all means.

Tip.
For a coloured shoe on a native attire like Ankara prints try not to keep every one dizzy by putting on a pair of shoe with prints as well ,like snake skin , leaopard print and the likes. Just keep it cool and simple with whatever colour you pick for your shoes(bright or bold).

For a coloured fancy shoe , i will advice you pick a simple pair of loafers (without lace) if the colours are really bright.



For a plain native like the brocade,Linen or even a plain lace fabric ,you can try doing a patent colour pair of shoe.

i've seen a guy in a pair of royal blue loafers and white brocade (Up and down, what the yoruba's call Buba and Shokoto). it was really cool because the white was plain (no prints) and what this did was to draw people's attention down wards to your shoes.
i think its a modern and stylish way to dress a native attire which usually leaves the guys with not many options when coordinating it.

@ Uzoo: Tried leaving a comment on your blog (on Elasta QP) and you wanted me to use google, twitter, etc. I suggest you leave it open to anonymous commenters like moi!
I think you have really good content on fashion, hair, beauty, etc ... make it a lil more visually appealing

@Yvete

I take it that you already have a shirt or inner wear in mind to pair the Pants with the blazer.

Below is a picture of colours of blazers you can wear with your black trousers(pants)

For the a relaxed look or what i would call an unassuming look (since you said you're an ''introvert'') try the picture of Joseph Gordon-Levitt in the middle (that is the grey blazer with a metallic undertone, here it looks like a tweed blazer and may not be appropriate for a hot weather like ours) ,this should be perfect with a stripe T-shirt or plain T-shirt and your black pair of pants).
