Look of the Day
If you are looking for effortless chic and comfort no matter what the occasion, don’t rule out the wrap dress. Timeless and versatile, here’s why it deserves a place in your wardrobe.
The signature dress created by Belgian born fashion designer Diane von Fürstenberg caused quite a stir in the 1970’s. Women everywhere, quickly fell in love with the unconventional, liberating and easy-to-wear style of this dress.
By design, the dress gives you an instant bust lift, whittles down your waist and creates the perfect hourglass shape.
Wear it to work, with a pair of sophisticated flats and matching leggings or dress it up with a strappy sandals and sparkly clutch for an evening out.
Simply find a cut that flatters and flaunts your body type. The wrap dress is ideally suited to the plus sized, curvy woman. Slimmer women however should opt for a wrap dress with less detail on top, adjustable ties for a fitted feel and a padded bra for added lift and curves.
Be careful of the prints you choose or you could look frumpy and out of fashion fast. Also make sure the fabric you choose drapes well. Go for a wrap dress with a ruched waist to hide a wobbly tummy or invest in underwear that sucks in the tummy to make you look slimmer.
We spotted local actress Aretha Rasalanavho in her designer David Tlale wrap dress with belt and pocket detail. The actress known for her role as Thivhulawi on SABC2's Muvhango, was recently spotted doing some shopping at Sandton City.
Sensational scarves
For everyday styling, scarves definitely make the trendy accessory short-list. They are the must-have wardrobe necessities for fashion lovers everywhere.
Scarves, while stylishly sophisticated or whimsical, are also eminently practical; wrapped around your neck, draped across shoulders, or as a head covering, they keep you warm. But it’s really more about making a fashion statement. Choose from a variety of colours, prints and quality fabrics for your scarf – be it to add a touch of sexy sophistication and glamour, that professional edge, reflect your personality, or help you stand out from the crowd.
Go for lightweight cotton, silk, polyester, chiffon, satin, viscose and wool blend fabrics. Opt for chunky wool knits, velvet, pashmina, cashmere or fur and feather offerings for winter wear. Animal print scarves are so in; or pick out florals, diminutive polka dots or standard checks and stripes. Scarf styles range from crinkle two-tones and ruffled cuts to ruched chic. You could also opt for tassel or pom-pom fringes, glitter and bead-embellished lengths, as well as embroidered scarves.
Versatile and easy to wear, your neck scarf can be worn in a number of styles. Wrap it around your neck for a snug fit, or hang loose for that laid-back celebrity look, made popular by Lindsay Lohan, Nicole Richie and Kate Moss.
We loved Aldo’s scarves priced at R169, R199 and R299. Or try Mango’s selection of scarves from R299 to R499 – including animal print designs.
Most Wanted
If it’s a touch of glamour you’re after this winter, don’t disregard the appeal of a stylish snood.
Snoods are top on the list of winter warmers and a necessary accessory for the cold weather. Snoods or “circle” scarves have no ends as compared to regular scarves with two ends. With a snood you never have to worry about your scarf unravelling or trying to smother you.
You can wear your snood loose or double looped comfortably around your neck - be as creative as you like so long as you look your fashionable best.
Snoods come in wide range of knits, textures and prints. This winter however, be sure to go for a glitzy edge with a sequin and shimmer snood. They are great for a bit of day time bling over jeans, a tee or a trendy trench.
Or you could go for an ultra-chic look by pairing it with an elegant cocktail dress for a night out on the town.
We are definitely loving Foxy Boutique’s offering of sequin snoods priced from R299. For more information call Foxy, Sandton on 011- 784 0460/1.
