If you’re apprehensive about what color to wear or how to wear it, start by wearing a lovely red lipstick that compliments your skin tone or go for a dark red nail polish. Bear in mind this color will linger and might even turn some heads as it is an especially bold and memorable color to wear.

Tuxedo jackets are the fashion of this season and the perfect answer to finding a beautiful happy medium. Since the jacket is light, airy and feminine with a touch of testosterone, you can jazz up skinny jeans or slacks for a lovely time out. The best part about this item is you can stick to classic black, sharp white or add a splash of flamboyant color.
