1. Materials are material
"Ladies should avoid lacy, frilly design elements on their clothes, while gentlemen shouldn’t wear large, boxy checkered prints – especially those with too many colours going on."
"Fabrics that are in now include linen, cotton, and wool. These fabrics are breathable and comfortable, and they can make you look younger and more stylish,” says Loo Fern. “Linen and cotton for shirts are most suitable for our hot weather as these are natural yarns."
"I’m not so up to date on women’s fashion, but I would say that women shouldn’t feel the need to dress conservatively once they’ve reached a certain age. It’s okay to dress down a bit and still look classy and elegant – flared trousers with a simple floral blouse and tank top, perhaps, depending on the occasion."
2. Cut from one’s jib
"For a shirt to look good on a bigger man, we cut them to allow for more room in the front, especially around the belly."
"For casualwear, skinny men can wear oversized shirts or T-shirts to keep in trend."
3. Don’t try too hard
4. Accessorise to stand out
5. Own your personal style
"Finding the right style to fit the personality is a skill that needs to be honed from observing style trends and understanding your own body shape."
“Be comfortable with your own style. If you haven’t found a style yet, don’t worry. Simple and good is a great choice, too.”
