As the warmer weather approaches many of us go out straight from work, but what do you wear that could be suitable for both?
They key here is layers!
When you leave the house in the morning, it can sometimes be a little nippy so there will be a need for a jacket or coat. How about choosing something classic, like a pencil skirt suit? This is great for colder mornings because you have the jacket over the top to keep you warm, and with the skirt you have the option of wearing some sheer tights underneath to keep the legs warm.
You can wear an evening top underneath your jacket, which will add glamour to your suit by day and keep in tone for a night out on the town straight after work. Once you have left the office you could whip off the tights, take off the jacket and add a pair of high-heels which will give this outfit a whole new look.
Failing that, just pack a bag with a change of clothes in it and get changed in the car!

Evening trousers are a great alternative to an evening dress cocktail dress for an evening event, party or special occasion. Dresses are usually the most popular choice of evening wear for ladies but trousers if worn with the right top can look just as elegant.

Winter is on its way, and as usual it is set to be a fairly cold one this year. Some individualâ??s struggle to keep themselves warm at the best of times during winter, for others keeping themselves warm is easily done on a daily basis; we simply layer up to stay warm. However, many of us are flung into complete panic when faced with an elegant winter evening event. Evening wear choices for these types of events, parties or business functions can get tricky. Looking glamorous in a classically sheer LBD on a cold nippy winter evening is harder than one might imagine.
Nevertheless, with the correct considerations, staying warm at these formal events is still possibly without compromising the enjoyment factor of the event.
So how do you stay warm during the up and coming winter parties and functions?
Firstly, consider layers of clothes. This can be a difficult concept to attach to an evening wear outfit. Nevertheless, layers of thin evening wear accessories however can be highly effective and still look chic. Layers such as boleros and shrugs will not only keep your back and neck sufficiently warm but they will not detract from the overall elegance of the look.
There is a common misconception is that woman commonly wear evening dresses to a formal event. On the contrary however, there is no rule that declares you cannot wear evening trousers teamed with an elegant evening top. This two piece evening look is awfully elegant and chic when put together correctly.
Sometimes the most elegant of looks are ones that are comprised of an evening top teamed with evening trousers, finished off with a dainty knitted shrugs to keep the dreaded chill at bay and brightened with a statement necklace and chandelier earrings.
Knowing your body’s measurements is â??THEâ?? key to getting great fitting clothing online. Since online shopping doesn’t have the luxury of trying the actual item on, knowing your precise measurements is the best way to avoid any disappointments when your items arrive. If you are in the plus size range you may or may not know that plus size clothing sizes aren’t standard, therefore you need to know your measurements to make sense of online size charts. Once you know how to take your body measurements, you’ve removed the guesswork from finding an excellent fit.
So ladies, suspend all judgment and pick up your tape measures. Remember, your personal measurements are neither good nor bad; they are simply yours and should never compare them with others.
The step by step measuring guide:
1. Grab your tools.
You’ll need a cloth tape measure, a piece of string, paper and pencil or pen and a mirror for best results.
2. Measuring your bust.
Take this measurement wearing your everyday bra. Facing the mirror, wrap the tape measure around your back and bring forward to the fullest part of your bust. Check the mirror to make sure you’ve got a straight line. Now write that number down as bust with everyday bra.
Remember to take this measurement again if you plan on wearing a different type of bra.
3. Finding your natural waist.
Your natural waistline is easy to find using a string. Tie the string so it’s snug but comfortable around your waist. Now bend to each side. The string will move to your natural waistline. Check the mirror. This time the line may not be straight and that’s fine. Pick up your tape and measure over the string exactly where it is. Make sure not to hold your breath or pull the tape too tight.
4. Measuring your hips.
What you want here is the absolute fullest part of your low hip. Stand with your feet together. Check yourself both front and side in the mirror to make sure you’ve got your fullest hip and that the tape measure is straight.
5. Finding your inseam.
Your inseam is measured crotch to ankle on the inside of your leg. Start at your anklebone and measure up. This is easiest with a partner. If you want to go it alone, start at the ankle and measure up. You can take this in two parts if needed: from your anklebone to where your knee bends and from that spot up to the crotch. Use the mirror and double check.
Now you have your sizing accurately recorded, you’re armed with everything you need to find a great new wardrobe, from perfectly fitting evening tops and dresses to flattering tailored suits. Good luck and happy shopping!
