THE BARE NECESSITIES


Fifty percent of your looks center on the way you carry yourself. If you slouch, understand that no matter how pretty your face may be, you will not come across as striking. You want to be able to walk into a party with your husband and give people the impression that you are a smart person with an attractive personality. So we've said it once and we're saying it again - don't slouch.

Most of us spend all our energy on trying to make our faces look good, and then just grab the first thing in the closet and put it on. Pay more attention to your wardrobe. Shopping smart means that you don't need to have as much to look as good.

Must-haves

Bras

Stock up on a few basics. Ill-fitting bras will make you feel conscious and uncomfortable. Often, tee-shirts stretch tight over ill-fitting bras, and the creases in the bras ruin the fall of the t-shirt making it look tacky. Thus, padded bras are a great option as your clothes fall smoothly over your bra. If you are big-breasted and would rather not wear padded bras, wear seamless, plain ones with tight clothes.


Camisoles

Invest in 2 basic camisoles (spaghetti tops) - a black one and a white one. You can wear these under almost anything transparent, and they are great for wearing under all your kurtis. For a varied and semi-formal look, you can wear them under a well-fitted shirt and leave the shirt open.


White shirt

Nothing looks as cool and crisp on a hot summer day than a crisp white shirt. True, a white t-shirt looks great as well, but a white shirt can be worn casually with a pair of jeans, formally to the office with trousers, and out for a lunch with friends, open, with a camisole under, so it is much more versatile.


Black trousers and a black jacket

A pair of basic, sleek black trousers is a must. These can be worn almost anywhere - to the office, to a party, to a dinner, or even casually. If you don't work in an office that requires formal attire or if you are a housewife, you can skip the black jacket.
