Greeting GG FLOWER.Iam 18 years old and i have a problem of contras betwn'the colours of my outfits.i wear cargo&fadad jeans and i want your advice that what shirts or T-shirts should i wear.my girlfriend wears shortjeans & she is so beautiful that my dressingstyle looks way simple.please help me....

Answer
Hi Don,
Thank you for your question. I am a bit confused about your question, but I am assuming you are asking about which color t-shirts to wear with your cargos or jeans?

The best colors to wear would be the best colors for your skin tone and hair, so if you have dark hair, for instance, go with bright or deep colors, like black, navy or yellow-gold, or red, or burgundy or even white.

If you have medium brown hair, wear a medium tone color in your t-shirt, like denim blue, teal, turquoise, red, beige or even grass green.

Maybe you can guess what colors to wear if you have light hair: Sky blue, pale yellow, light green, any color that is soft and muted, gray or cream.

What to Wear : Panic at the Disco

Question
Hello!
Please help! I'm going to see Panic At the Disco soon *Google them if you are unsure of who they are* And I have no idea what to put on. I was thinking you know something dressy but gigs are hot and stuff. What could I put together with this top http://www.asos.com/Chloe-Sevigny/Asos/Eye-Print-Vest/Prod/pgeproduct.aspx?iid=2...
Thankyou!
Regards Ella x

Answer
Yeah, that is cool, I like Panic! For your outfit, I would choose these pants, they are striped and would go perfect with your top. If you plan on wearing a jacket over, make sure you add a fabric rose. A floppy hat would be fun.copy and paste this link into your browser.

What to Wear : Strapless Dress

Question
Hello! I just bought a strapless dress for my prom and right now the hem falls past the back of my kness. I am a short person, 5'3, and heard that any dress or skirt I buy should hit just below the knee or just at the knee.

Should I go get my dress shortened?

Also, is it ok to wear a necklace AND earrings with a strapless dress?

Thanks,

Marie

Answer
Hi Katie,
Yes, anytime you buy a dress off the rack, it may not fit you perfectly, especially the length. Your clothes should fit perfectly and when they do you will look perfect too!

Have your dress shortened to fit your height, and while you are there, have the tailor make sure parts of the dress are fitting well also. Make sure the armhole is not too large. It should fit snugly against your body.

As for the accessories: Formal events allow you to wear things you might not wear during the day. The general rule is: if the dress is simple, you can wear fancy shoes and earrings and necklace and a fancy hairstyle and makeup and nailpolish!

If you are wearing a dress with ruffles and lace or sequins, you can wear all the above, except instead of fancy shoes, keep your shoes and your hairstyle simple. Take this quiz to see how you score: http://shop4prom.com/prom_accessories02.asp

Hope this helps. Have a great prom

What to Wear ; Purple or Yellow?

QUESTION: I was just thinking about prom coming up and i'm still not sure what colors i look good in. I think deep purple, but id like to know some others. I have very pale skin and dark brown hair, with eyes that are green/light brown colored (they look different from day to day but most recently green).

ANSWER: Hi Elissa
Actually, deep purple will look very nice on you. The purple will make your eyes greener than they really are. Other colors you might consider, cranberry, evergreen or midnight blue. But I would go right back to the purple if you want to know the truth! Very pretty color for brown hair!

QUESTION: do u think i could pull off yellow?

Answer
Hi Elissa,
Most people can wear purple. And most people don't wear yellow well. Here's why:

A little color theory never hurt anyone, so let me just say that
the color purple and the color yellow are on the opposite side of the color wheel.  

So the reason purple looks good on people is the same reason yellow doesn't. Fact: When you wear a certain color, keep in mind that it accentuates its opposite color.

Let's assume: Most people want their faces to be the best part of their overall look; so if you want your skintone to look fabulous, you must wear the color that will make it look fabulous. 

The reason purple looks so nice on most people is because it brings out the yellow in your skintone. It does not make your skin look yellow, what it does is it hides the pinkish purplish blotches, marks, acne or other problems with the skin. We are talking about the facial skin here.

The reason yellow is hard to wear well, is that most all of us have at least one little blotch or imperfection on our face. When you wear yellow, it makes your skin look pinker than it really is AND it makes the blotches, and imperfections stand out and salute.

Have you ever noticed how some actresses bleach their hair blonde and after that they look like they have pink makeup on? If you are going to bleach your hair you need to make sure you add a neutral base color to it. 

You may be asking yourself : What's my skintone? Find here at my website:http://shop4prom.com/prom_colors11.asp

So with all this information, you might still be asking whether or not you can pull off yellow. The answer is really: it depends on your skintone. If you have clear, beige skin, with no pink in it, you can wear yellow.

Everyone else :
Yellow will make your skin look bland
Yellow will make your hair look darker
Yellow will bring make imperfections show on your skin
Yellow will make you look bigger than you really are.
Yellow is a good color for a baby blanket or a big bird.

The reason I would choose purple for you is:
It will make your eyes greener
It will make your skin look creamy smooth
It will bring out the golden highlights in your hair
It will look regal and elegant
It will make you look slimmer and sleeker
Need I say more?

I hope this information has been helpful to you.

What to Wear for My Body Type : Long legs, short waisted

Question
Hey there wonder if you could help.Im 24 and 5'10,most of the height comes from legs and i have a shorter torso.I would like to even things out so i dont look all legs.
Many thanks

Answer
Hi Cheryl,
To lengthen the appearance of your torso, and thereby shortening the appearance of your legs you need to follow a few simple tips: Keep in mind, that what you are doing is camouflaging the real waistline, and trying to make your waistline appear lower than it really is. This trick will in turn provide balance to your overall proportions.

If at all possible, avoid clothing that begins and ends at your waist. Example avoid jeans with a t-shirt tucked into the waist. Why? Because it only accentuates the fact that you have a high waist. Instead wear your shirt outside the pants.

Avoid jackets or blouses or sweaters or shirts that have hems that end above the hips. A denim Levi jacket would be too short for your body type, for instance or any jacket that is short like that. You should wear your jackets at about where the leg and the hip bone meet, down where your leg creases. This balances out your body type, by lengthening the torso and shortening the leg area.

If you must wear suits at work, and you need to tuck your blouse in be sure to buy a blouse that is the same color as the skirt if at all possible. This will help hide the waistline.

Wear long jackets, tunics, or shirts that are not tucked in.
Wear low rider jeans. You are one of the few body types that can get away with wearing low rise jeans. This time it is ok to tuck your t=shirt in because it balances your torso by making your waist appear lower than it really is.

As far as dresses. Avoid a dress that has a waistline, which would only accentuate your high waist. Dresses with lowered waistlines, or sheaths with no waist would be best.

I hope this is helpful information: Please be sure to write back if you need more clarification.
Best wishes

What to Wear : Summer Formal Wedding

QUESTION:
We are invited to a wedding and the invitation said "summer formal. What should my husband and I wear for that occasion?

 
ANSWER:
Hi, N. ...when I hear wedding I hear formal or semi-formal. Typically if the wedding is during the day (before 5pm) one could wear a long flowery gown ( as long as it doesn't remind one of hawaiian mu-mu) or a below the knee chiffon number. By all means, stay away from dresses that although dressy, still say "cocktail party" which would include tight mini-skirts with ample cleavage showing. Think of an afternoon wedding as 'tea with the queen'. A night time formal wedding is , well more formal. Long dresses are essential, whether strapless or with spaghetti straps, they need to exude elegance and grace.

THE LOOK
I've create a set of looks for you and hope it gives you some inspiration!As for the hubby, if the wedding is indoors and air-conditioned, he should wear a grey or navy suit, does not have to be a three piece, but it must be well-made and a perfect fit. The shirt should be the classic white dress shirt. The tie could pick up some of the color of your dress, for that touch of celebration. Include a colorful hanky.

Style on!

Ask Gigi : What color shoes??

Question from Julie B.
hi my graduation party is on June 5, i have this really short and strapless dress to wear but i don't know what color of shoes should i get for it? my dress is electric blue, i am very white skinned, and have long legs. i cant decide between black, blue or silver high heels. open or closed shoes?

Answer:
Your best choice would be a blue that matches the dress. The black would be ok, but only if the party was in the evening. The best way to match your dress would do buy shoes that were 'dyeable', this is done professionally, don't try it yourself!

A really pretty option otherwise is a shoe that is the color of champagne, halfway between silver and beige. It will be much easier to match your jewelry with the shoes if they are a neutral color.

As for the type of shoe, the general rule is: go with the open toe shoes since you live in a warm climate.

Congratulations on your awesome achievement!
