The Sophisticated Look

Sophisticated Tips for Sophisticated Women

Lookout, ladies, the 80's are back! That's right, many of the masculinestyles of the 80's are back in fashion, but with a softer, morefeminine twist. Here are some tips to pull off a modern, retro lookwithout looking like you've been through a time warp.
First, choose the right color.
Black is the new black this season. Snazz up the black with accents in red, silver, or cream.

Emphasize that feminine silhouette.
Even though the dress shirt and tie is back in with a vengeance, youstill want to look feminine. Bring the waist in and show off yourfeminine flare with a scarf belt. Ditch the shoulder pads to allow forthe gentle slope of the shoulders. Wear a long cardigan that skims thehips. Sport a pair of sexy stilettos under long trouser pants. Mix andmatch the masculine and the feminine. Wear a silk shirt and flirtyskirt with a man's blazer.

Choose soft, touchable fabrics.
Silk, satin, crepe, soft cotton. These are the materials you'll beseeing (and feeling) a lot of this fall. To help soften the masculinestyles, soft materials are being used. One of the hottest items thisfall is the silk turtleneck. Scrunch the turtleneck instead of foldingover for the latest look. Blazers are coming out in crepe and softpoly-blends instead of wool. If it feels good against the skin to wear,it's the material you're looking for. Another throw back from the 80'sthat's
making a huge comeback - the body-clinging knit sweater dress.

Layers, layers and more layers.
Everything is about layers this fall. For those warmer days in earlyautumn, wear two polo shirts, the bottom buttoned all the way up, thetop left completely opened to reveal the polo shirt underneath. As theseason gets colder, wear your silk turtleneck and a dress shirtunderneath a jacket or long cardigan. Layer a tiny blazer from theboy's department over a dress. Wear two cardigans, pushing the sleevesup of the top one to expose the one underneath. Play with patterns andcolor. Wear two completely different blouses, buttoning only one buttonat the breast to show off the blouse underneath.

The Must-Have pieces for the season.
Don't wear wool in your suits, wear it in your pantyhose! Wool tights,even colored wool tights, will be peeking out from under every styleand length skirt this fall. Speaking of skirts, try the flatteringtrumpet skirt. A great piece for anyone with large hips, the flare ofthe skirt adds a feminine shape while still detracting from the hips.The long cardigan will add another all important layer to almosteverything you wear. For a slimming effect, wear all one dark colorunderneath a light colored cardigan. The look creates a slimmingvertical line. Wide-leg trousers brings out that masculine look, butthis season's soft fabrics, like fine wool crepe, gives it a feminineappeal.

How to wear what you've got.
