Here
are some tips on adopting the first lady's style acumen, adapted from
"Everyday Icon" author Kate Betts, who gave Cosmopolitan
magazine a few of Obama's secrets to share.
Ownyour look: "Michelle owns every outfit she wears,"
Betts told Cosmo. "You can tell that she never feels
uncomfortable or uneasy in her clothing."
That
means try on your clothes before you buy them and then again before
you're debuting them for a special occasion such as an interview, a
first date or cocktail hour. Cosmo suggests spending some time around
your place wearing your outfit. If you find you're pulling at it and
adjusting different features constantly, save yourself some time and
pick out something else to wear.
Rocka "wow-worthy" accessory: On election night, "Michelle
wore a Narciso Rodriguez dress and paired it with dazzling dangly
earrings," Betts told Cosmo. Whether it's a strong belt, a
broach, necklace or earrings, Obama is always adding just enough
touch of extra to give her ensemble that extra zing.
That
is a little extra, not a lot. Accessories make the outfit, but too
many will break it. Stick to one statement piece.
Embracewhat works: Have you ever seen the first lady wear an outfit that
looked horrible? Well, we won't give her too much credit. Everyone
makes fashion mistakes. But rarely do we see her in clothing that is
completely unflattering. Obama goes with what works on her, Betts
said.
Nothing
is wrong with being bold and adventurous, but if you've found a
silhouette that looks outstanding on your outstanding body, stick
with it.
Just
because stripes are in right now or everyone is wearing knee-high
boots, it doesn't mean you have to. Make the items that flatter you
staples in your closet and stay current with a few trendy pieces now
and then.
Wearred: Remember that bright-red dress Obama wore in November 2008
to meet with the Bush family? "It gave off an
'I'm-in-charge-now' and guaranteed that all eyes were on her,"
Betts said.
Think
of red as the equivalent of a man wearing his power suit, Cosmo
suggests. You're getting everyone's attention, and oh, by the way,
studies have found red to be the color that most attracts men. Do
with that what you will.
