Todays Fashion Rules for Wearing White have thrown the old traditions out the door. Wearing white is no longer a hassle with unnecessary rules from a fashion police in the sky. Memorial Day and Labor Day used to be the start and stopping timeline for wearing white, due to past social classes in the south. The high society upper class could afford to stop wearing their white shoes and garments during this time, while lower class citizens could not afford this luxury. It was just another way of separating whose rich and whose poor.

Well, today all of that is out the door, and fashion is based on individual expression. But there are some basic rules you can follow:

1. Never wear white to a wedding, unless required. Give the bride some room to stand out, but its ok for you outfit to have white in it, just not head to toe white.

2. If you still do not feel comfortable wearing white in fall/winter, wear winter white, which is an off white, cream color.

3. Wear the right shoes. Before wearing black shoes with an all white ensemble, make sure your outfit has black in it.

4. If you feel comfortable in it, wear it. There is really only one rule to wearing white, and that is there isn’t any.

Learn the tips for Dressing for Different Body Types and you will find the diva in you. Every woman is shaped different and not any two of us have the same body types. But there are categories that each of us can fit in, such as:

The Hourglass – curvy in all the right places

Pear – curvy in the hips

Inverted Triangle – broad shoulders

Oval – full all over

Rectangle – just not much shape at all

The key to remember when dressing for any one of these body types, is to accentuate your best attributes and minimize the attention to the areas that are not quite where you want them to be.  Just know that you do not have to lose weight to dress nice. A true diva is a diva at any shape and size.

Look at these Dress Styles for Pear Shape Women. Alicia Keys has a pear shape and the dress styles she wear are examples for women with this shape. The key is to wear an empire shaped dress that accentuates a nice bust line and gives the illusion of a slimmer hip. You do not want to wear a dress that cuts at the hip line.  Always remember to choose a dress that cuts at or above the waistline.

1. Body shapers: You have to find the perfect body shaper no mater what size or shape you are. Body shapers help smooth out curves resulting in a slimmer look and better fit for your clothes.

2. Slimming Jeans: You have to wear the right pants and jeans for your shape and height. Hip huggers are not for everyone.

3. Just enough fabric: Make sure you do not wear garments that have too much fabric an layers. You want garment that contour to create shape, not stretchy latex fabrics that cling too much to the body, but fabrics and garments that helps shape the body with darts.
