Want to dress like a socialite and live the part? It’s very easy, because all you need to know are a few inner circle secrets. Do a bit of mirror gazing and invest in the right clothes, accessories, and also hair and smile in place, perfect make up in place and overpoweringly in control. So here you can have that socialite looks:

Examine the occasion: Overdone or underdone can undo a look. One needs to carefully examine the occasion because daywear is daywear and glamour is glamour, but don’t mix the two. You miss your chance at ‘society Dom’ if you overdress or undress the part.

Socialite afternoons: Luncheons, shopping and daily rendezvous are part of a socialite’s life. A range of perfect clothes includes:
• A cream ivory top/kurtas/tunic/dress worn with classy pearl studs. Better still, a single heavy sterling silver pendent on a silk rope.
• A pair of black trousers, a dark cocoa skirt or a pale printed bottom worn with the ivory blouse or kurtas.
• White linen, it never fails. A simple skirt’ trouser ensemble can be dressed up with a chiffon scarf casually-draped over the shoulders or tied expertly at the neck or the handbag.

A handbag that spells restrained class: A bamboo handle with linen, a leather trim bazaar bag, a large tote in a citrus color would be more appropriate for occasion.

Sunglasses: Avoid flashy styles that twinkle too much in the day. Try the new semi-sheers. Opaque or mirrored at the eyebrow and shaded sheer at the under eye. Shape is of utmost import.

Perfect make up: During the day, keep it light, transparent and natural. Perfect the art of using lip pencil and gloss. Depending on the ensemble, resort to pale nude or vamp it up a bit. But glossy nude is best.

Keep eyes clear: Apply a single liquid line on the upper lid. Use an eyelash curler to open up the eyes. Powder away an oily look with light reflecting powder.

For hands and toes: Do the pedicure and manicure for the hands and toes. And coffee or bright coloured toe color after a perfect manicure and pedicure.

For the hair: Hair should be a restrained statement or a socialite bouffant. Choose a style that suits you. If you are older one then try to lift your hair because you need to have a lift of hair. Therefore always freshly wash your hair before going to any lunch party but blow dry for perfect lift and volume.

For accessories: Choose a single focal point. It could be either earrings or a necklace or a bracelet. Do not let the size intimidate you. Go mega, but choose only one accessory statement.
