I've always held the position that women need to accentuate their best physical attributes. I'm not suggesting they show pop out their boobs or have their butt show up.
I'm talking about choosing the right type of clothes for your body type. It doesn't matter if you are on the chubby side or thin side, there are always possibilities. Judging by how many Singaporean women choose their attire, I really think they should introduce dress-up instruction in school.
We have such glorious weather - hot and humid no doubt - and it opens up numerous opportunities to get creative with one's attire. I've come to realise that many boutiques' saleswomen don't seem to have enough dress sense themselves to be dispensing with such information to their customers.
My suggestion, and I've done this many times in the past, is to walk into a boutique run by the designers themselves. Chances are, they will be present and I find them most willing to share what colours and clothes would look good ona customer. You need not have to purchase anything (although I often do), but you walk away with some useful information.
I don't necessarily agree with what many designers seem to say - if you got boobs show them off - but they do offer good suggestions. For instance, ask them what kind of colours suit you, the shoes, belt or other accessories and chances are they will tell you.
If all else fails, there is always a fail-proof way, string some lights over the parts of your body you want people to be drawn to.
Missus Singapore out!
