Faith Speaks Fashion : SPRING FASHION DON'TS AND DO'S

'Trend' is the key word for everything, but what "suits" you and your body type is a totally different issue. Using the trends wisely and knowing which 'in' item to pull off and which to knock out is what separates a fashion rookie from a fashionista.

THE DON’TS

1. VISIBLE BRA STRAPS

Don’t wear tops that show your bra strap or even belly button for that matter. It looks bad, period.

Faith Solution: If you cannot afford a strapless bra buy those see-through straps an take one adjust it to be small enough to tie your straps at the back that they do not show outside the vest.

2. VPL- VISIBLE PANTY LINES

These are as bad as or worse than visible bra straps. Whatever you are wearing, white dress, pants, very fitted dress or skirt make sure these no panty lines showing. Opt for boy legged underwear(shorties-like) or seamless (no elastic) underwear.

3. HALF-DYED HAIR

Don’t half dye your hair! Apparently, it’s ‘trendy’ and a lot of girls are doing it. Please don’t.

4. FULL-LEGGED VS SHORT DUNGAREES

We know it is spring and all, and everyone loves denim, but stay away from full-legged denim salopettes. We don’t want you looking like a farm girl now, do we?

5. ART ON NAILS

So apparently, there’s this trend going around where girls paint little drawings with their nail polish, mixing different colors. Yeah, that’s really bad. Just stick to one solid color.

6. BRIGHT COLOUR TOWELLING/VELVET TRACKSUITS

Don’t wear a full Juicy Couture or any velvet training suit unless it’s black or navy. So yes, bright pink (eoww) and baby blue are out of the question.

7. HEAD-TO-TOE PRINT

Don’t wear too many patterns at once. The other day, we spotted a woman dressed head-to-toe in a hideous leopard print. Shirt, pants, shoes, bag –everything! Just pick ONE! Remember: subtle.

8. LEGGINGS ALL SORTS SHOW

Don’t reveal too much when you wear leggings. Even if your rear end is super toned, always wear a top that covers it.

THE DO’s

9. PANTYHOSE

Do wear pantyhose on short skirts and dresses. It’s not a rule, but it looks so much more decent, and we strongly recommend it. Whether it’s transparent or opaque, it’ll make your legs look so much more toned. Also do the footless pantyhose with skirt, it adds modesty into those flare short dress.

NB. Match your shoes with your pantyhose for a slimming silhouette.
