How To Choose Watches For Any Occasion
IF you have decided that you need to pick a style of watch and stick to it, no doubt you’ve been confronted with an event that makes that one style a little hard to pull off. To find a good leather watch is definitely a starting point, but it can be a little hard, even if you’re looking both at in person shops and online.
Thinking about your own personal style, also consider what variations of that style you tend to go through each and every day. Sometimes it is best to begin by thinking about your exact needs in a watch, first- that is to say the functions that you will have to have in each watch you wear.
For some people who live very active lives, a digital sport watch is the most important accessory that they own. Something more rugged and durable suits their personal style. However, sometimes, you cannot pair that style of watch with the outfit you may be wearing- and let’s face it, no one is immune from having to deal with situations where proper attire is essential.
It would not be appropriate to wear this sort of accessory to say, the opera. However, if you bear in mind that you can keep three watches, for each sort of occasion, this may help. This will ensure that you have the right watch for any occasion you may attend.
Keeping the information conveniently displayed is often vital for some. So, many people want a graphic lcd screen. This actually brings up a good point- no matter what style you may have to wear, there are always some basic functions that you need to have in your watches, so think on those first.
So, combining your own personal style with your actual needs in a watch is key. This will help you to have a general idea of what you want in your watches, and then, you can choose the ones that are more appropriate to each and every situation. Most of the expensive, pretty watches now have many of the same options in them that the more rugged sporty watches do, and you can find almost everything you need in any style.
Once you have a pretty good idea of all of these things, you may consider how often you attend each type of event. If you find that you attend more outdoors functions, then perhaps finding a more durable sports watch is needed. However, if you do attend many formal situations, finding a solid formal watch may be key.
Forty and fabulous
Fab at forty One of the most difficult fashion aspects facing women over 40 is how to dress for the many changes that occur around this age. In our early to mid forties both our bodies and our lifestyles are in transition.
Physiologically our bodies are changing and some of us will suffer water retention, thinning hair or duller skin. Lifestyle-wise you may be on the brink of empty nest syndrome, you may be newly divorced or beginning new jobs.
If you are a woman over 40, you can look just as sexy and vital as your younger counterparts; you just have to learn how to flatter your body without doing a major style overhaul and without looking like the proverbial mutton dressed as lamb. So, are your pleated trousers giving your age away? Perhaps you’re stuck in an 80′s beauty and style rut? Has your hairstyle barely changed in the past few years? If so… Change!
The key to dealing with the changes and to modernizing your look is to get in tune with what is in fashion. Handbags and shoes are the quickest way to update your look. Look around, browse through magazines, tune into the fashion channel and get a feel for what’s ‘in’. You are not necessarily aiming to be ‘hip and trendy’ but to develop your own timeless signature style. If you need inspiration, look at the ‘mature’ television stars and movie actresses you admire, pick out what you like and emulate their look.
The worst thing you can do is dress younger than you are – all it does is make you look even older and slightly bizarre. So, even if you have the world’s best legs, please no miniskirts! Avoid baggy, formless clothes and chose pieces that give you shape. When out and about shopping, don’t think you can wear the same colours you did when you were in your twenties, especially not next to your face. Experiment with various colours in a good light to find what flatters your forty-something skin.
Fashion and beauty tricks
Stand-up or turn-up collars are great for disguising a wrinkly neck. They cover the area and bring the focus to the face. It helps too to always wear a bit of white close to your face. Soft colours such as pale pink, white, beige or ice blue also bring light to the face and thus detract from the neck.
If you have lost your waistline along the way, wear jackets and pieces that will give you shape.
