The best fashion look for you is one that expresses your creativity while picking and choosing among the latest trends that enhance your natural assets. Be bold and no-nonsense about it, but use balance and understatement at the same time.

The secret is to center your fashion statement around one attention-getting item: a one-of-a-kind piece of jewelry, or a finely embroidered article of clothing, or a glittery pair of sandals. Match these strong pieces up with classic, understated items for the rest of your ensemble. The classic items will play up your centerpiece, instead of fighting with it.

Be adventurous in your choice of styles. Be retro one day, glamorous the next, and casual on the third day. Be unpredictable and don’t be afraid to stand out in a crowd. Study the fashion magazines and visualize how each item would look on you. Look spontaneous, but calculate the effect behind the scenes.

Couture is about self-assurance. If you think you look great in an outfit, the people around you will feel the same way. And when you don’t feel poised, fake it until you do!

If you’re sized in the B-cup to C-cup range, you’ll love having a push-up bra or two in your lingerie drawer. These bras have extra padding in the lower outside corner of each cup which lifts your breasts and pushes them toward the center of your chest.

The result is a nice cleavage line that really makes the most of your appearance when you wear sexy low-cut clothing. When you go out in the evening and want to dress up, a push-up bra is as much a part of your wardrobe as your high heels and designer purse. Choose a model with lacy cups and lace panties to match. You’ll be dressed up even when you undress!

For casual daytime wear, there are smooth cup push-up bras that have no seams. These look stunning under a clingy spandex top or a rib-knit sweater that shows off every curve. The top lingerie brands sell these bras in a dazzling array of colors. Buy one to match the color of your favorite blouse. You’ll look good and feel even better.

Push-up bras don’t work for all women. They can make more of what you already have, but you need to have some flesh to work with. If you’re an A-cup, then you’re better off wearing a sheer or lightly padded model and dressing in a way that enhances your natural bustline. Looking like a ballet dancer can be sexy too.

If you wear a D-cup or larger, then you already have cleavage and don’t need a push-up bra. Instead, choose a model with firm support that’s comfortable to wear and doesn’t dig into your back and shoulders. Quality is very important when shopping for lingerie to fit a larger bustline. You’re not going to be comfortable for long in a budget model.
