Complete Makeover with Style Network this July!

Complete Makeover with Style Network this July!

Author: Kasia Yoko
Date: 2014-07-04
So you are off to the races! What does that all mean with regards to what to wear? Well, good advice is hard to find on short notice, but do not fear Sita, owner of The Style Network at The Square in Umhlanga is on standby to help you with all your last minute style advice. Sita has helped to style local and international celebrities and politicians for over a decade and she has the right touch when it comes to uber elegance.

"Dare to be different." Sita advises, "Durban July Racing is the time to have fun, and there is so much colour and style to choose from this year. Try colour blocking, some lace trim, a bit of vintage, bold patterns, if it meets with your personality outside of the norm, then as long as it suits you, run with it."

Remember how you dress needs careful attention, remaining elegant and comfortable all day so that you still look classy at the end is an objective every woman should strive for, there's nothing more ugly than a disheveled woman carrying her shoes and fascinator out through the gate after the last race. With Sita's advice you will never have to worry as Sita offers the full pamper package - His and Hers complete makeover for the July - hair, makeup, latest fashion attire, shoes and accessories.

Your outfit isn't about how expensive it is or what label it has on it. What's important is that it fits you well, compliments your body shape and personal colourings, and meets with the type of occasion/area you are attending. This means no skimpy cocktail dresses, racewear is distinctly stylish and not the same as what you might wear to a nightclub.

We all know that race-day fashion is super stylish, smart and glamorous, but you need to think practically too: take a shawl or jacket to keep warm if it's chilly; don't wear shoes that ruin your feet as you are likely to be standing for most of the day; and ladies, avoid exposing too much skin - think 'demure'.

"Elegance and style is priority at this year's Durban July" explains Sita, owner of Style Network in Umhlanga, "Accessorize well, choose comfortable shoes that will carry you over uneven surfaces with ease, employ a good size bag that will carry everything you need. And don't forget that Durban can get nippy in July, so be prepared for the cold weather."
