My Intimate Experience of Dressing up
It is said that ‘Clothes make the man’. This proverb is a good demonstration of the importance of good appearances to a person. Here somebody may refute me by saying “you can’t judge a book by its cover’. What I have to say is the intrinsic factors do play a key role in the success of a person. Whereas, the extrinsic factors also count quite a lot. At least, a woman of a good appearance may make a better first impression than the one of a common appearance.
Here by mentioning ‘appearance’, what I am referring to is not only the exterior looks of a person, but also a person’s way of dressing up and the effect of his overall dressing. There are only lazy women but no ugly woman in the world. With the jack-up of ages, you may get the profound meaning of this saying. It is no easy thing to be a woman, especially to be a charming woman. It calls for a large amount of time and energy to make you yourself look perfect from the sole of the foot to the crown of the head. The characters of circumspection and patience are indispensable.
As far as I am concerned, tons of trivial details should be concerned when you are dressing up. While there is a general direction you should grasp, that is your dressing should always go with the occasion you are going to participate.
1. The principle of timeliness.
The principle of dressings in different periods of time means a lot to a woman. A man may handle different occasions with a qualified dark suit or a Chinese tunic suit. While the dressings of women turn to be more bright and colorful, they have to change with time. A woman has to wear a suit or a dress for formal occasions in the daytime to show her expertise. And in the evening, she would make a change of her high-heeled shoes and wear some shiny accessories to take part in a cocktail party to develop her maturity and charm.
2. The principle of occasions.
Your dressings have to coordinate with different occasions. They have to be serious and elegant in formal occasions such as a business dealing or a formal meeting; If you are going to a concert or seeing the ballet, it is the done thing for you to come in a formal dress; While your dressings should be light and comfortable on the occasions of a gathering of friends or an outgoing. Just imagine how embarrassing it would be if you are in ordinary clothes at a formal dinner occasions.
3. The principle of places.
It will be appropriate for you to wear a set of tidy and comfortable sportswear when receiving guests at home. And it will show your expertise by wearing professional suits in the company. When being absent on a tour, you’d better avoid wearing clothes which are over exposed or too short to be chary of offending the local traditions and customs.
And these are the three principles of dressing you should watch out in several occasions.
