How to feel comfortable in heels




When it comes to looking stylish, nothing beats a gorgeous pair of high heels. Heels make your legs look longer, your body look slimmer, and your whole outfit just a little more polished. Unfortunately, for many women, they also make your feet hurt something awful!We’ve all been through it -those moments where our shoes go from high heels to heel no! As much as we love our stilettos, we don’t love how they leave us limping, blistered, and sore. There’s got to be a better way, right?Here are several neat ways to make your heels more comfortable
BUY THE RIGHT SIZE.
Feet can grow larger as we get older and pregnancy can result in longer or wider feet, too). TSo make sure you know your foot size or you get your feet measured wherever you buy your shoes. Make sure there's a thumb's width between your longest toe and the front of the shoe, to give your toes room to move. For heels, this means you may need to go up a size to get a comfortable fit.
GO FOR ROUND TOES.                 
 Lucky for us, round-toed shoes are back in style this season! Where pointy toes can wrench your big toe inward, causing joint pain, crunched toes, and even the beginnings of bunions, round toes allow your toes to lie flat and spread out naturally. That makes for much more comfort. And if you can't swear off your pointy toes completely? Have some round-toed shoes to alternate with the pointy ones.
DON’T GO TOO HIGH.
 A  heel that’s of one to two inches is a good choice for comfort and foot health. Avoid three- or four-inch heels, which put undue pressure on the ball and bones in the front of your foot.
MAKE SURE THE WIDTH IS RIGHT.
Sometimes the toe isn't the problem, it's the width. Many fashion shoes come in a standard medium width. But if you have wide feet so when you find a pair of shoes you love, see if they come in a wide width; if not, a shoemaker can usually stretch the shoes to widen at the toes, enhancing the comfort of the shoe.
ALTERNATE.
 Wearing heels for many days in a row can make your feet feel ravaged. To maintain some comfort, switch between heels and a flat pair of shoes. Although heels elongate your legs when you're wearing a skirt, they are less important when you are wearing trousers, so give your feet a rest on those days.
Hope the tips will help you.
                                                                                                                             

Fashion and Style


Clothes are on everybody's mind do not try to deny it. Unless people like walking around in the streets naked, they are thinking about wearing something, even if it is skimpy.
Most people want to look good in their clothes. However, not everybody knows how, and those who do seem unable to communicate instructions properly. I will be your knight in fashionable armor.
The words “fashion” and “style” are thrown around carelessly, and it is crucial that they are understood.
Guys and girls alike do not usually think about the statement they are making with a short skirt or a  V-neck T-shirt. Classy or slutty, sexy or douchey, people have eyes that listen while your outfit speaks.
Fashion and style are the only two words that can effectively explain the who, what, when, where and why of proper clothing application. Yet they are used as synonyms and misinterpreted on a daily basis.
Style is the medium. Fashion is the trend. How someone looks, acts, talks, sees, feels, tastes, thinks and believes leads back to his or her sense of individuality.
 Style is defined as a way of life, fashion being that which is accepted by a larger group of people.
Style goes beyond the body; it includes the clothes that you wear, your facial hair, the food you eat, the movies you watch…computers, phones, cars, houses…. All of those are a part of fashion and lead into one's sense of style.
Fashion is pre-determined and dictated by a commonality that brings masses together as one entity. Style is the individuality that follows and stimulates the influences that fashion feeds from.
Style dominates because individuality is strong. Fashion, instead, stole what was popular and sold it as the only thing people should be wearing.
If you want to be in style, you only have to do one thing. Instead of following trends, set trends.
The reason fashion and style are confused and misused so often is because they depend on each other’s definition to exist. Without individuality, unique clothing would not exist, and if unique clothing did not exist, fashion would not have inspiration to constantly feed off.
As a college student, it is important be educated and be aware. Engineering, Journalism or Architecture are all-important, but knowing what you are wearing and how you are wearing it is just as relevant.
Fashion is commonality. Style is individuality. Think about it. Memorize it. Live by it.

How you can become trendier?

People seek advice and insight on how to be more stylish and be able to unique.Being stylish or trendy consists of a complete package and is not simply reflected through clothing.I came up with a few pointers to indicate whether you are a trendsetter or a fashion follower.

One of the major pointers is your personality.
There is an essential resemblance in the personality traits of most trendy people.They usually love the unexpected and enjoy being noticed for their new purchases in any clothing item.Characteristically, people who buy the latest trends in fashion or clothing tend to be outgoing and extroverted and don't mind an occasional negative glance. I can personally relate to that.Such people are the first ones to think of fresh ideas for the newest look and can predict the styles that will help them stand out from the rest of the crowd.If you want to be recognised as one such person then I suggest you revise your character or personality, while at that choose a specialty store.These characteristics make perfect sense, as somebody who is shy and reserved tends to prefer blending in with the crowd and usually avoids getting noticed.
The innovative people tend to be the first in their group of friends to adopt a style, since they shop in exclusive stores and take the time to choose what they really want. You don’t necessarily have to pick an expensive store that sells the same items as the next but basically take time to choose something that will work for you.Specialty stores, which will widely turn out to be privately owned boutiques usually carry only a few items of clothing, as opposed to the more popular stores that try to copy these lines and mass-produce the more exclusive items, selling them at a cheaper price.
One important characteristic is to be fashion savvy.


I know I have mentioned many times… Observe someone you know that adopts new clothing styles before everyone else. You should be able to observe if his or her choice of outfit will be an eye catcher in popular stores or boutiques a few weeks or months after everyone else has caught on to the trend.
Fashion savvy people strive to be unique, hence the term trendsetter. By the time the public can find the hot item at most chain stores at a less expensive price, the trendsetter has already found a new style while everyone else is dressed in the same outfit. Trendsetters are rarely conservative individuals. Instead, they like to set themselves apart from everyone else by buying new clothes that no one owns or has seen yet.
Be careful so as not to categorize early adopters with odd looking people walking the streets.
Fashion savvy individuals are not necessarily those with purple or ginger haired weird people that wear strange clothes.Someone can be trendy and classy at the same time. Many people such as celebrities are trendsetters but don't necessarily wear crazy, ridiculous looking outfits. They simply adopt new fabrics, new colours and new cuts before the general population does.
Apart from being the first to adopt the latest styles, what else makes someone a fashion leader rather than a fashion follower?
Obviously, a trendsetter must love clothing as he easily adapts to new things.A person that doesn't purchase at least one or two new pieces of clothing every season can definitely not be considered trendsetter.A fashion leader should love shopping and should schedule time in his agenda to read magazines, browse or window shop through clothing stores. I know most people think that you should have a steady income for this but what happened to saving up? Being trendy is not expensive but we all know that most sharp looking clothes don't come cheap.


To be a trendsetter you must begin by caring more about what you wear. Rather than always wearing the same shirt and pants, vary your combinations more often. Start noticing people who dress well and take note of which colours, cuts and styles they wear. Start shopping in order to refresh and revitalize your wardrobe. Flip through magazines and notice what will be the next big thing for next season. It's even simple to see what the next trends and styles will be by watching popular television shows.


Lastly don’t purchase something that is ridiculous because you saw your favourite celebrity wearing it. Get something that will set a trend and at the same time make you feel good wearing.

What a man can't be seen wearing


Most of the time, advice about fashion and style tends to focus on what you should be .However, when it comes to style, there are actually so many acceptable looks to choose from that it can often be hard to find advice that works for you. Sometimes, it’s just easier if someone tells you what you should not under any circumstances, be wearing.
That’s what I am going to do today. If you are already a pretty fashionable guy, chances are none of the items on this list will come as a shock. However, if you are one of the many guys who need a little help when it comes in fashion, I imagine this might be of some service.
Ready to see what you should be eliminating from your closet?  
  • Crocs: These might be in the same category with "mayellow push".I'm sure most of you remember them.Crocs were “popular” for a while, but they were never okay. And especially not with socks.Unless you are elderly or mentally challenged,you have zero excuse for wearing crocs in this age.NO EXCUSE! 

  • Square toed shoes
Square toed shoes might have been cool half a decade ago, but now they make you look like a weirdo. Stop it.This isn’t 2002 anymore. It’s time to get a pair of shoes you didn’t own when Studio 263 was still on the air.
  • Turtleneck
Unless if you want to be like Justin Bieber and have girls all over you.

  •  Short suits.                                                                                                      
  This looks ridiculous.

  • Harem pants
They make you look like you are wearing a diaper.Some fashion items you should just not try.

  • Sandals and socks.Unless you are walking to the curb to pick up the newspaper, socks and sandals don't even make sense. The point of a sock is to keep you warm and the point of a sandal is to keep you cool.I do not know why people think it looks cool.

  • When it comes to men's fashion, floral can easily go from bad to worse.Lets face it, you're wearing a women's blouse and an old lady's blouse at that. Send this tropical look on a permanent holiday to Hawaai 
  • Flared pants
Yo might as well get yourself a fro and join the Jackson 5
 
  • Cropped pants
More like peddle pushers for men!
  •   Superhero clothes 
If you are nolonger a teenager,please stay away from Benten,Spiderman and Batman and all those childish comic book characters .
