10 Style Lessons I’ve Learnt from Dita

Superbly feminine and dashingly beautiful, the exquisite Dita Von Teese always encapsulates my heart with her iconic style.

1. Give it a waist
Wear those garments with a belt to showcase your curves.

2. Knee length, not above

Adorn your bod with modest lengths and you’ll never go out of fashion. Knee or pencil length bottoms are key.

3. Put a brooch on it

Wearing a brooch may seem like something your Nan does, but so does Dita. Glam up your outfit with a classy piece on the neckline or bust.

4. Matchy matchy

Pairing shoes to match your handbag may seem old fashioned (well it is!) but by doing so brings an outfit together.

5. Wear gloves

Set off your winter wardrobe incorporating gloves, because your hands get cold too.

6. The daytime clutch

Who said clutches were just for evenings? Add instant sophistication by bringing your handheld babies with you during your daily outings.

7. Be comfortable with your look

Change is always welcomed, but having a signature look makes you feel iconic, consistent, and comfortable in your own skin. Find what’s best for you and stick with it for that extra ease of getting ready in the morning.

8. Sunglasses to match

I only have two pairs of sunglasses (both prescription). Dita delights us with matching sunglasses to her outfits and does it really damn well. She also has her own sunglasses range!

9. Low cut

Remain classy wearing a low cut top or dress if the bottoms are below the knee. The perfect cheeky balancing act.

10. Red lipstick

Classic. There’s a red out there for everyone, finding the right tone can even make your teeth appear whiter. Wearing red every day could make you feel confident and look powerful.
