Sheath dress is the type of dress designed to tightly fit the body. It is normally of knee-length or a bit longer which makes legs look slender and beautiful. Sheath dress is usually sleeveless and can be either with or without straps.

The best thing about sheath dress is that it accentuates woman’s assets and conceals her problem areas. Besides, the cut of the dress is very feminine and the silhouette is perfect.

Sheath dress can be worn to almost any occasion in any season. It is as good for office as it is for a party. Opt for jackets, cardigans and boleros to complement your outfits. And don’t forget about the power of accessories. A pearl necklace, tiny clutch and classic pumps will make you look like gorgeous Audrey Hepburn. Chunky bangles, an airy scarf and wedges will turn you into a romantic girl every man would love to date. Bright-colored sheath dress with a glittering bolero, spike heels and dramatic makeup is the best look for a party-goer.

Sheath dress is a favorite with designers. Every season we see plenty of variations on the runway. For Spring 2012 Erdem, Alberta Ferretti, Monique Lhuillier, Oscar de la Renta and other designers created beautiful sheath dresses, often trimmed with lace, embroidered with sequins, decorated with floral or geometrical prints. Monotones come in plenty, too.

Sheath dress is a must-have in any woman’s wardrobe and if you still haven’t got one you definitely need to take action!

Singer-turned-designer Avril Lavigne and her label Abbey Dawn will show off their skater clothing line at New York Fashion Week in September. As the brand is going for expansion the line that only made T-shirts and accessories will include now dresses, denim, skirts, bags, eyewear, footwear, etc. Of course the line is expected to bear Avril Lavigne‘s signature style which includes graffiti prints, skulls, lots of pink, and sporty wear.

Avril Lavigne and Abbey Dawn will also present a full menswear collection at Style 360-Metropolitan Pavilion on September 12.

In other news pop icon-designer Gwen Stefani reportedly may be absent from her own labels’ show this Fashion Week due to more pressing matters. L.A.M.B. spokesperson said the decision is yet to be made but the star has a too busy schedule. It was also announced that Gwen Stefani is to team up with Target to create an affordable clothing line called “Harajuku Mini” for children and teens.

Harajuku Mini is a dream come true. I’ve always wanted to do a cool children’s fashion line inspired by the supercute and playful kid’s clothing you find in Japan. The whole idea is about being creative, expressing your own individuality and having fun getting dressed. Target has given me the creative freedom to design kid’s clothing that is different than most anything you usually see out there with great quality, attention to detail and most of all, available at amazing prices.

Non-surprisingly Lady Gaga is to launch her own fashion line or “wearable” designs with her younger sister Natali Germanotta, 19 who has finished a first year of study at Parsons, The New School for Design, NY and has also appeared in Gaga’s Telephone video featuring Beyonce. Natali Germanotta is described as “even edgier” than her sister

Gaga came up with the idea of remodelling the styles of classic icons from the past, for example Marilyn Monroe, Grace Kelly and Katharine Hepburn.

Natali loved the idea and she’s coming up with a slew of design options but, of course, everything will have their own iconic twist on it,

a source told Grazia magazine. Though the news are unofficial there are already hints on how the collection will look like. Iconic Marilyn Monroe dress is said to be in rubber version while Audrey Hepburn’s black iconic dress will reportedly feature a plunging neck.

If we look in the past we could notice that Audrey Hepburn loved hats because she knew those made her look elegant and chic.

Marilyn Monroe is known for her love to diamonds. But have you ever noticed how often she wore gloves? She definitely liked this accessory.

Katherine Heigl is a fan of high boots, all feminine kinds, especially those made of suede. She wears boots with everything, from sexy dresses to comfy jeans.

Angelina Jolie prefers simple but elegant clothing. She often wears pencil-skirts which accentuate how slim the actress is. Teamed up with jackets and silk blouses such skirts look great on Angelina.

Reese Witherspoon likes cardigans. She has plenty of these and creates numerous combinations which always look stylish on her.

One can hardly imagine seeing Victoria Beckham without skyscraper heels. Even being pregnant the designer can’t resist wearing her favorite style of a shoe.

Gwyneth Paltrow is proud of her slender legs. She shows them off pretty often by wearing mini dresses.

Jessica Alba is in love with scarves. She seems to own tons of these, in any size and color.

The clothing item Eva Longoria wears most often is a dress, a sheath dress. We have seen over a hundred of dresses in this style on the star.

Rachel Bilson is a Chanel girl. She has a great collection of Chanel bags which seems to be her everyday and red-carpet choice. To tell you the truth I haven’t seen Rachel carrying a bag from a different brand. Only Chanel, forever.

Despite the fact she could wear the most fabulous dresses Kate Moss prefers garments which make her feel comfortable. Jeans, blouses and jackets are the best.

Miley Cyrus has always loved biker boots. She wears them both in real life and on stage.

Hilary Duff never goes out without a pair of fantastic earrings. Both at special events and on the daily basis the actress complements her outfits with the jewelry. And she does love scarves.

Charlize Theron is a very tall woman which allows her to wear sandals all the time, even on the red carpet. She doesn’t wear heels.

Think about your style. Which items do you prefer wearing?

LBD is an item that each of us owns because it is a fashion staple, something that we can wear at almost any event, something that will be in vogue forever.

The most famous LBD, I guess, is the one Audrey Hepburn wore in Breakfast at Tiffany’s. It was a Givenchy’s creation. Since then on designers have paid lots of attention to this piece of the wardrobe.

Nowadays we have plenty of variations of LBDs to choose from. Here are some of the latest designs, all of these come from Fall/ Winter 2010/ 2011 collections.

Lots. But who of them are style icons? The question is difficult to answer as almost none of them can be compared to Marilyn Monroe, Marlene Dietrich, Greta Garbo, Sophia Loren or Audrey Hepburn in their ability to combine garments keeping the same style all the time.

Personal style can hardly be seen nowadays. Personal style can turn a woman into a goddess with the help of a wardrobe only.

And as time and life experience shows, not every woman can become a goddess. But one has to try, try hard! After all, isn’t that the most favorite women’s game to cope with financial worries somehow and despite everything surprise people with their looks during a celebration or other special occasions?

In search of a style

Personal style is something visible at the first sight. It is more important than any fashion trends and ready images.

Ordinary women try to imitate styles of popular divas but does it really worth doing? There are just a few of celebs who really have their style to show.

Let’s start from Madonna who’s considered a queen of pop music.

In 2000 she was recorded into Guinness’s book for creation of 85 images during her career: from a vicious angel in her music video Like a Virgin to a cute demon from her Ray of Light tour.

It is great and notable of course, but I doubt that our kids will know how to describe Madonna’s style.

So, what’s Madonna’s style? It’s a set of highly fashionable items. Madge changes her images like gloves. She is new for each new tour: from cowboy simplicity to a vintage chic.

Madonna will always be a fashion icon but she will never be a style icon unfortunately.

But there is another girl who does have her own style – Dita von Teese – a pin-up girl from old pictures. She used to be a fair-haired girl from Rochester, USA.

Her name was Heather Renée Sweet and she was an ordinary girl no one paid much attention at. But she wanted to make a standout and dreamt of becoming provocative like Bettie Page and exquisite like Rita Hayworth.

She liked watching movies dated 1940-50 and experimenting with her style. Finally she dyed her hair black and chose vintage clothes.

Jessica Simpson – Sugar – Hobo (Cherry Polka Dot) – Bags and Luggage

Now her style is thought over to details – a corset, stockings, high stilettos by Louboutin and classic ‘50s style garments.

She is perfect and never trusts stylists to do her hair and put on her make-up, she likes doing taht on her own.

According to Dita she has been following her style for 10 years already and she is going to keep it for lots of years longer as she was able to create her individual style and is proud of it.

So, what is a personal style? Personal style is a style that is close to you, your personality and your preferences.

It has to be unique. Perfectionists can say I’m not right saying that, but I don’t actually mean you should wear all the same clothes of one day fashion. You should change, but within the limits of the same style.

If we speak about Dita again she can be a provocative pin-up girl and then suddenly hide her snowy white face under a veil, or turn up in public wearing something exceptionally luxurious with a feathered hat.

But whatever she wears she always follows one particular style.

Step 1. Your personality

Bright personalities create bright personal styles. We can talk of a style only if the personality is seen through it. Let’s recall an old movie Sabrina by Billy Wilder.

Audrey Hepburn’s character, an ordinary girl, the daughter of a gardener, falls in love with the son of her father’s employer. To avoid looking ridiculous she leaves home for Paris, the fashion capital.

Two years later she returns home and kills the heir with her fantastic looks. It happens not because fashionable clothes changed her but because she got to know herself better and found her personal style, different from others.

It is often said that individual style is something one has to be born with, like charisma or a pleasant voice. But think of Marlene Dietrich, a style icon, who had been searching for her personal style for a long time.

She couldn’t express herself right at the beginning of her career and wore lots of lace, puffy sleeves, inappropriate furs and designs which made her figure look terrible.

But when she met Sternberg everything changed and she acquired her own style and followed it until the rest of her life. As a result she became a style icon.

So, these example illustrate the fact one can do everything. You need to find yourself, to understand what you really want. Think of ideal you. What will you look like?

What clothes will you wear? What will you act like? The best way to find your style is to understand your inner world.

Step 2. Basics of style

The diversity of styles is infinite but all of them are just the variants of three basic styles.

Eternal classic. Jackline Kennedy is someone who preferred it and never wanted to try something different.

The items of her image were: pumps, pillbox hats, clinging pencil skirts and strict suits – they are now considered 100 per cent elegant. Those who prefer to wear classic have to walk straight all the time and watch their hairdos to look ideal, but I’m sure exquisiteness and perfection of the style are just the things you’d like to achieve.

Creative personality. Any ideas are possible here. Those who like this style prefer to stand out rather than be hidden in the crowd. Tunics, shapeless garments, hippie chic, ethnic items, romantic and feminine images, complicated designs and creative decisions are the key moments of this style.

Contra culture. People who prefer this style like everything that is avoided by majority of others. Mass culture is not for them. Nothing can be worse for such women than buying trendy items.

Their style is always completed. Examples to imitate this style are Marlene Dietrich and Greta Garbo. In the middle of the last century these women wore tuxedos, mannish hats and preferred black to all other colors.

And don’t even ask me about a sporty style. This style looks appropriate only in gyms and stadiums.

Step 3. Fashion

Fashion should serve as an instrument of creating your individual style. Taking ready images from catwalks is a complete nonsense if you want to be treated as a woman who knows what her style is.

Fashionable images can inspire you to make experiments and of course you’ll find plenty of details which will go perfectly with your wardrobe and complement your style. And shopping becomes much easier when you know exactly what you want.

Creation of your personal style is a difficult thing. But nothing gorgeous can be achieved easily, remember that!

Actress Halle Berry’s Bond girl, Jinx was given the title of hottest dressed of Bond girl, and beautiful Drew Barrymore’s look for 50 First Dates was voted as the style which most compares yours.
