8 Fashion habits ruining your style!

Think you are fashionable? Think again! You may look fabulous, but are your style choices worth the pain and damage to your health? Today we’ll talk about long-held habits you refuse to break, fashion clichés you still believe are true, and small things you’re avoiding—or doing—that can wreak havoc on your personal style.

You buy the same size for all clothes:

Sizing can vary tremendously according to store, brand, and item.

Don’t sweat the number—pay attention to how things look on your body instead.

You think tall women shouldn’t wear heels:

This mandate isn’t only silly, but a little sexist, too. Stemming from a whole bunch of antiquated notions including abundant height isn’t feminine, and a woman shouldn’t draw extra attention to herself, this rule is one no woman should ever follow if they don’t want to.

You think sweatshirts are strictly casual wear:

Once strictly for athletes, gym-goers, and errand-runners, the humble sweatshirt has risen to become a very stylish staple.

You think jeans should be washed as much as your other clothing:

Raw denim can take up to six months to break in and shouldn’t be washed until then.Why? Jeans really do conform to our bodies, and when you wash them, most of the shape is lost. To zap odors, hang them in the bathroom while you’re showering or freeze them in a plastic bag for a day or two.

You think high-waist pants are always unflattering:

When worn correctly, they can trick the eye into thinking you’re taller and leaner by elongating your lower body. The most slimming item to choose are slightly high-rise slim-fitting jeans that hit your ankle, or simple high-black black trousers.

You think sequins can’t be worn during the day:

A modern trick to looking like the most effortlessly stylish girl on the street: Pair dressy bottoms like a beaded skirt, or sequin pants) with casual staples like a white shirt, a gray crew-neck sweatshirt, or a black blazer. Likewise, choose tops with sequin detailing, and pair them with boyfriend jeans.

You think denim on denim is a fashion don’t:

The trick is to pair pieces of varying washes together, such as a light denim shirt with dark denim jeans, or a dark denim jacket with a light-wash pair of boyfriend jeans.

You believe shorts have no place on the fall and winter:

There’s something incredibly cool and fuss-free about rocking a pair of shorts in the winter paired with opaque black tights and ankle booties. Stay away from shorts in summery fabrics like eyelet and cotton, but go ahead and rock shorts made from  leather, wool, jacquard, even denim cutoffs, which offer a nice change of pace from skirts when paired with boots, tights, and a chunky sweater come fall and winter.

How to Buy a Classic Winter Coat

A classic winter overcoat that keeps you warm while making a fashion statement is a staple in every woman's wardrobe.
Every woman in a cold climate must invest in a high quality winter overcoat. In cold months – regardless of how stylishly you're dressed underneath – your coat is the first thing people see, which means it creates your first (fashion) impression.
Here are tips on choosing the right coat for you.

Choose An Enduring Style & Color

Choose a coat with a classic, timeless cut in a neutral color that goes with most of the clothes in your wardrobe. If you wear a lot of black and rarely wear navy, then for heaven's sake, don't buy a navy overcoat. Choose black or gray.

Join in on trends by accessorizing your coat with the new scarves, hats, brooches and gloves of the season.

Get the Right Overcoat for Your Body Type

To get a coat that makes you look long and lean, make sure that you choose the style based on the shape and proportions of your body type!

Coat Lifestyle
Aside from choosing a coat based on your height, you should also consider the climate in which you live and your lifestyle:

•If you're frequently driving a car, you should choose the shorter car coat length for ease of movement.
•If you're always getting on or off trains or buses, you'll need a 3/4 or 7/8 length coat that you don't need to worry about constantly stepping on.
•If you walk a lot or live in extreme cold you'll want a full length coat to shield you from the elements.

Winter Wardrobe Must Haves!!

October has just started and our favourite season ‘Winters’ (for most of us) is about to start. The time has come to start updating your winter wardrobe with the hottest winters ‘must haves’. Madame is here to tell you some essential items that should be there in your winter wardrobe. So read on to stay updated with the latest winter trend:

1. Black blazer: It can go with any of your outfit, so depending on your body shape, this could be a more fitted blazer or a boyfriend-y blazer…or both.

2. V-neck tees: Get long sleeves V necktees in white, black and grey..

3. Dark wash jeans: One skinny and one boot or flare(if you wear flare jeans at all).

4. Ballet flats: I think its nice to have a simple pair of black ballet flats as well as a fun pair…maybe in a metallic!

5. Wedged Boots: Depending on your usage, pick either a wedged booties or Lita boots. They are surprisingly comfortable, come in every possible colour and material and they go with EVERYTHING.

6. Scarves: This is one thing that is stylish and will also keep you warm, so buy at least 3 in different prints.

7. Chunky jewelry: Chunky necklaces, bracelets and a nice big cocktail ring… will just add the right amount of spice and colour to your whole outfit.

8. Pullover: Assuming you already have pullovers in basic colours, this season go in for a chunky cozy pullover.

9. Cardigan: A must have item in your wardrobe, go for buttoned cardigans… as they never go out of fashion. Go for vibrant colours and use them to layer with a nice overcoat or a blazer.

10. Polka Dots in Anything: This will add the degree of fun in your safe winter wardrobe. If polka dresses and tops (which are so cute btw) not your thing, then find polka dots scarves and bracelets for a more subtle look.
