Ahead of Ladies’ Night at the Dubai Duty Free Tennis Championships on February 21. Here are the top things you need to bear in mind to ensure you’re on the top of your game:
1. Play up your assets: Have great legs? Then opt for a fitted pencil skirt with sky-high heels. Show-off your tiny waist by wearing a fitted top with a swishy skirt or draped pants and don’t forget to cinch that waist with a belt. Curvy ladies can go for a chic jumpsuit instead of hiding behind a frumpy A-line skirt.
2. Perfect your colour combination: Keeping your personal colouring in mind, go for a striking combination in your outfit. Go for a crisp and classic combination like red and blue, cobalt blue and turquoise, etc, apart from the usual black and white or blue and white. To look elegant and put-together you can also opt for a monochromatic colour scheme i.e. different shades of one colour.
3. The accessory rule: Accessories can make or break your outfit. The more basic your outfit, the bolder your accessories can be. Wear understated accessories with embellished garments. Also consider your body type when deciding on your handbag for the evening. For example, short ladies should steer clear of handbags with long straps. Hourglass-shaped ladies can use a boxy handbag.
4. Hair and make-up: Long or short, your hair should be cut and styled in a manner that suits your face. A round face should stay away from full-on blunt bangs whereas a square shape can be softened with curls. Make sure your make-up is beautifully applied and showcases your best feature. Stay away from garish colours and a heavily made-up look.
5. Confidence: And last but not the least is confidence. Confidence is the best thing a woman can wear. Be comfortable in your skin and wear your look with confidence to pose like a winner for your photograph.
