,

Ladies with heavy bottoms can wear white on top and black at bottom to keep attention away from their problem areas. If you've a smaller chest, wear black top with snowy patterns, such as floral or geometric. This will be helpful in creating an illusion of fuller body.

When How to wear: Well, these colors are most elegant color choices which can be worn at any place or any occasion, be it birthday party, wedding, business meetings, or any other formal or informal occasion. This combination looks great even at the beach parties. Pair a black pencil skirt with white ruffled blouse along with black pumps for work, or a zebra print pretty dress for any friends' getaway or get-together.

Whatever the occasion is, just remember don't wear plain white button down shirt and black dress pants without any accessories, or else you'll look like a server at a restaurant. But still if you want to go with this combination, then don't forget to accessorize with some elegant accessories.

Monochromatic Outfit: You don't have to be dramatic when pairing these two opposites. Simply wear black leggings and tunic of same color and look stylish! Just add a touch of opposite color jewelry. Compliment this look with pearl jewelry, plain black pumps or flats with bit silver work. It will give your monochromatic outfit a kick of style. The same goes for dress in all white. However it's normally a good idea to wear same color shoes and pants to elongate legs. This benefits a lot to ladies with short heights.


Play with Textures Patterns: Black and white dresses have been around for a long time. However as time changes, so do the trends. When wearing this look one should try latest mix of texture and patterns so it doesn't look boring. Try wearing bubble skirts, ruffles, patent leather, lace, ruching, beaded embroidery, or any other type of embellishments that really accent the look. In patterns you can go for black white polka dots or patch work. Zebra print dresses, chess print dresses and newspaper print dresses are really "In" nowadays! These prints are season-friendly, hence they can be worn in any season, be it summer or winter. So, be playful with these prints.


You can also add a hint of color to your black white attire. Bright colors like red, yellow, sea green and orange always look very sexy with this combination. For checking out latest Black White fashion trends one can take inspiration from 2010 MTV Music Awards celebrity styles.

Fashion Tips For Skinny Men

,
With all the attention given to the problem of obesity in men, the often overlooked problems are the troubles faced by skinny men. Believe it or not, there are men who have metabolisms that run at hyper-speed even when they are at rest. These men find it almost impossible to gain any weight even if they gorge themselves on tons of rich foods. These men simply stay the same weight, maybe even lose some weight, no matter what they eat.

They are the envy of the men who have the opposite problem of seeming to gain weight by just looking at food. As the fairness of karma would have it, the recipe for improvement in both the cases of skinny men and obese ones is the same. It is exercise. The obese guy needs to exercise to burn off excess calories. The skinny men need to build up muscle mass because it is more dense and it adds weight of the right, kind not to mention improves the look of their physique.

The classic Charles Atlas ad of the 98-pound getting sand kicked in his face and his girlfriend stolen from him at the beach comes to mind. Not only does the skinny guy need to work out, he needs to eat a diet designed to put on weight, which includes the addition of nutritional supplements and a healthy amount of protein shakes to help build up the desired muscle mass more quickly.

Metabolism plays a key factor in how much weight is added from the calories consumed. When we burn excess calories that are more than the calories we eat, we lose weight. Skinny guys be forewarned, that even if you spend your entire young life being unable to gain weight and eating anything and everything you like, you may have a change of metabolism that onsets around the age of 50 where suddenly without warning you gain tens of extra pounds. This can be quite a shock to guys that have been skinny all their life and it is very difficult to change eating habits when your body metabolism changes due to age.

The obese guys will laugh at this and find some revenge in seeing that skinny guys do also finally succumb to gaining weight from having a slower metabolism. Unfortunately it does not work the other way around. Obese guys don't suddenly have their metabolism speed up as they get older and they are even more susceptible to gaining weight as they age.

The other thing to be aware of is that if you start a strong workout routine in the younger years you will need to maintain it all your life because within 6 months after you stop a workout routine you will bloat up like a whale from the sudden decrease in calorie burning. If you don't believe me, take a look at how fat Arnold Schwarzenegger got while being the Governor of California and not having the time for consistent daily workouts he did before, because he was too busy. Combined with his change of life due to aging he lost his previous Mr. Universe physique and gained a lot of weight. If it can happen to him, it can happen to anybody. Skinny guys don't need to aspire to having a Mr. Universe look but do benefit from increased exercise.

Mens Fashion Tips On The Golf Course

,
You are probably going to the golf course for the first time and since you have never been there, you are wondering what to wear or what goes as far as fashion on the golf course is concerned. Golf has always been a sport that is regarded as cultured yet stylish and high class.

In most of the contemporary golf courses there is an adherence to stringent dress code and if you are going to attend a golfing event, you will be no exception to this general rule.
There is a uniform standard for shirts in the gold course. If you are going to put on a top, it will have to be a shirt with a collar.

The most widely accepted and popular is the polo shirt and white is the color of golfers although any particular shade is quite acceptable. For golf players, t-shits, tank tops or sweatshirts are completely unacceptable. In golf, decency and ease are the catch words although respectability and smartness are substantial.

Both long and short pants are acceptable on the golf course but denim and cutoffs are definitely off. The kinds of shorts that are worn in or to tennis games are completely unacceptable and you will not get away with sweatpants, basketball shorts or the shorts worn by athletes. If you are going to wear pants, they must have leather loops and you must have a leather belt on. You can have on shorts when it is war or hot and long pants when the weather is cold but the rules remain the same. The khaki shorts are acceptable although they should be long and not higher than the knee.

We cannot forget your feet when we talk about what to wear on the golf course. Firstly, shoes with metal spikes are out because these will cause lots of damage to the gold course. It is better to have on shoes with soft spikes or cleats built into the shoes. There are many fashionable golf shoes and while you get those, get the socks to match them. Sandals are definitely out.

You might want to consider carrying a jacket or a sweater or even a sweater vest. This however depends on the conditions of the weather and you can never go wrong on a golf umbrella. This is more so especially because in case it rains, the umbrella will be useful but if it does not rain, the umbrella can help you if the weather might be too hot. It would be wise to have sunglasses, a hat or visor and sunscreen lotion. Don't forget a towel and carry plenty of water.

Many sports apparel companies sell golf wear and you will find golf clothing at many stores. It is important to be in conformity to what is requisite otherwise you will not be allowed into the golf club. Most importantly when you buy golf wear, be sure to get what suitable for the course and still comfortable for you.

Natural Beauty Skin Care Tips


Keeping your skin fresh and healthy in this era of pollution and dust is really a great challenge. But with proper care and healthy routine, it's easy to maintain your beauty for long and prevent aging. Some of the effective tips that help your skin to glow and reflect your great personality are:


1. Protect your skin from harmful ultra violet (UV) rays. UV rays causes skin cancer and also makes your skin to age faster with unsightly wrinkles.

2.

Drink plenty of water (at least 8 glasses a day). It is very essential for good health which in turns leads to healthy skin.

3. Keep your skin clean. Use a soft warm cloth. Skin does not require scrubbing.


4. Take a well balanced diet. Include lots of fruits and vegetables. Improper eating habits can cause depression, weight gain, illness and an overall lethargy.


5. Maintain a proper weight because weight gain causes your skin to stretch and as you get older, it loses its elasticity and you're left with sagging skin.


6. Do physical activities for at least 30 minutes per day.

Or 30 minutes of vigorous aerobics, or 12 minutes of weight lifting and 18 minutes of walking.

7. Always try to be happy and relax. Talk to your friends, family or anyone you like and be in a happy mood.


8. Take a good sleep of minimum eight hours. Avoid sitting a lot in front of computers, laptops or television. It makes you tired and may affect your


Protect your lips from the harsh weather conditions. Eat plenty of green veggies and fruits. Gorge on foods rich in Vitamins. Increase your intake of water. Apply lip balm and keep your lips moisturized. Lips will look beautiful and attractive only if they are healthy. Applying makeup
on dry chapped dark lips will not make them appear eye-catchy. It can only invite unwanted attention that brings forth the fact that your lips are dry and chapped. Refrain from licking your lips.


In this section, we will throw light on the following aspects related to lips:


1. Apply Vaseline or petroleum jelly. This will moisten and soften your lips.


2. Press your lips together for 15-30 seconds. Make sure the Vaseline/petroleum jelly is well absorbed.


3. Apply a thin coat of lipstick (it's usually best to stick with neutral tones, but if bright reds and such work on you, go for it!)


4. Blot out by kissing off the excess lipstick on the back of your hand. DO NOT use a tissue for this, as little bits could stick to your lips.


5. Apply a thicker coat of lip gloss. This will give it shine.


Hair Care Tips


1. Brush your hair regularly before going to bed each night.


2. Wash your hair with a mild shampoo. Use very little but enough to cover hair completely with lather. Use a conditioner to keep hair manageable.


3. Avoid brushing wet hair. This will cause the hair to stretch and finally break. Finger-dry, or use a wide-toothed comb instead of a brush to gently remove the knots.


4. Restrict blow-drying your hair. The process of blow-drying is harsh on hair as it robs it of moisture.


5. Avoid dyes. Use mehandi (henna) instead as a conditioner and colouring agent.


6. Take a calcium supplement or drink two glasses of milk a day.


7. Always hold hair dryer away from your hair. Direct air from the hair dryer down hair shaft and not directly into the roots and keep it moving.


8. After a perm, never brush your hair. Instead comb hair gently.


9. Trim your hair once in 7 weeks to avoid split ends.
