To look your best, it helps to choose the right colors. clothing in the right color will enhance your best features and makes you appear brighter. we offer a tips to help you find your best colors. First, determine which color skin tone you have using a few simple methods. Think about how your skin reacts after a day in the sun: if you’re prone to burning you, probably have cool undertones, and if you normally tan, you most likely have warm undertones. For dark skin tones, however, it is possible to have cool undertones and not burn quickly. Next, find an area of natural sunlight and hold a piece of white paper up to your (makeup free) face. If your skin looks pink or blue, you have cool undertones and if it appears yellow-green or brown, you have warm undertones. Lastly, examine the veins on your wrist. Blue or purple veins mean you have cool undertones, green or yellow veins mean you have warm undertones. If these tests are coming up inconclusive for you, you probably have neutral undertones. Here are some great options for cool, warm and neutral skin tones we offer at Lavanya Coodly.

Cool

Cool skin tones work wonderfully with “cool” colors like blues, greys, purples, and rosey reds. “Warm” colors should be avoided, like orange, red, and yellow, which will wash out skin-tone. Celebrities with cool skin tones include Nicole Kidman and Lupita Nyong’o.

Try the Green Beaded Dress, a bright green knee-length long-sleeved dress with delicate black beading throughout the piece. This bright jewel tone will bring out all of your best features and make your skin shine.

Those with neutral skin tones are lucky to have the ability to carry off most colors, but often look best in muted, softer colors. Additionally, bright red looks beautiful on neutral skin tones. Look for jades, “dusty” colors, coffee, black, and charcoal – nothing too oversaturated.

At Lavanya Coodly, we pride ourselves in providing our clients with the highest quality fabrics and styles. That is why we primarily use silk in our designs. This versatile fabric comprised of natural protein fibers was first manufactured in China over eight thousand years ago and rapidly became a highly sought after trading good, first in Eastern culture and quickly spreading west.  Not only is silk beautiful and soft to the touch, but there are many benefits that come along with wearing it.

Silk, due to its protein-rich makeup, is an extremely strong fabric despite having a very thin weave. This durability is invaluable in today’s world of fast-fashion and cheap, synthetic fibers. Silk has incredible properties that allow for breathability in the heat and warmth retention as it gets cooler. As it’s weaved, the threads come together to provide a beautiful shine that is impossible to mimic without losing the texture, durability, and natural breathability. Another perk, silk is entirely hypoallergenic and will not aggravate the skin or cause allergic reactions. This fabric withstands the test of time, yet another reason you should invest in silk – feel good, look good, and know you’re wearing something that has been at the height of style for millennia.

The versatility of silk shines through in our collection. Depending upon the style, silk can be manipulated to provide high shine, opaque designs, and transparent detailing. Lounge by the pool looking glamorous and summer-chic in our Helene Caftan, thin enough to be worn as a cover up on a hot summer day, and luxurious enough to even wear as a dress out on the town.

The Bella Gownis reminiscent of a bohemian goddess, with a touch of luxury. The strength of silk allows us to embroider crystals at the waist creating an eye-catching centerpiece. Or look like you’re walking on a cloud as the wind catches silk in a beautiful way, causing cascading falls throughout the long skirt of our Cate Dress.

As the cultural landscape changes, so does the fashion industry. An interesting change in recent years has been the adoption of more feminine styles in men’s wear and conversely adding masculine elements to men’s wear. No longer is it uncommon to see men’s collections adorned with loud prints, bright colors, and sheer fabrics. Years ago, a man wearing pink was perceived as a threat to masculinity – now, wearing pink is as simple as it should be. This opens doors for personal expression and allowing how you define yourself to shine through in your clothing.

Going even farther back, it’s difficult to imagine a time when women were judged harshly for wearing pants, especially when the centerpiece of many of today’s outfits is a pair of sexy leather pants or breezy, wide-leg trousers.

Accessories have also started to migrate over the blurring gender-lines. With the rise of the hip bag (given the euphonious, colloquial name of the “fanny pack”), more men are joining their bag-carrying female counterparts. Bohemian scarves with fringe, tight fitting men’s pants, loose women’s clothing, and the return of the bulky shoulder-pad all mark the beginning of a transitioning market.

The oversized tunic, hailing influences from eastern cultures, is a useful piece in men’s and women’s fashion because of its versatility. Tunics can serve as great layering pieces in the winter over leggings and under sweaters. If oversized, tunics can be dresses in the summer. The Anna Tunicis a beautifully decorated black and gold tunic, long enough to be worn as a dress, and perfect over some black cropped tights.

Some designers have seen the opportunity to do away with gender labels all together, creating unisex lines. At Lavanya Coodly, we strive to be at the cusp of all trends, which is why our current collection features the Unisex Shorts. These beachy, striped shorts have a place in anyone’scloset – not confined to a single category. Loosening the shackles on what someone can and cannot do has helped spur a beautiful and eclectic crossover, allowing for creativity to pour in. Here at Lavanya Coodly,any of our menswear designs, pants, shirts, sweaters, coats or jackets can be ordered in women’s sizes and worn by both genders, thus blurring lines between them and allowing for freedom of expression.

Here at Lavanya Coodly, we know being unapologetically yourself is in! This is why we offer a wide range of prints and styles to allow for full personal expression. Pick a bold piece that lets your wild side shine through, or a gauzy feminine piece that highlights your demure side. Lavanya Coodly offers hundreds of avenues for personal expression while maintaining quality and utilizing premium fabrics. Looking for something to wear to your next summer garden party? The Abbey Dress with its floral embroidery and sequin accents might be a perfect match! Have a glamorous gala coming up and want to make a statement? Our fiery Strapless Beaded Dress would have you turning heads. Or maybe a wedding, where you don’t want to steal attention, yet still want to look your best? The Gold Shimmer Dress is a beautiful combination of classic and eye-catching. In a world of neutral running tights and athletic shoes, let your formal wear stand out and make a statement. You are certainly not boring, why should your clothes be?

Showing Skin (the right way)

Although we’ve ushered out the era of mini-skirts and barely-there pieces, showing skin is still here in a BIG way. From athleisure to cutting-edge runway styles, sheer fabric and peekaboo cut outs have firmly cemented their place in the fashion world. Lavanya Coodly has wide range of styles offering a classy way to spice up your look and draw attention in all the right ways. The Lattice Dress with a strategically placed cut out position creates a dynamic beachy look

The Silk Panel Skirt accentuates legs while still retaining modesty, perfect summer attire for a breezy day by the water. Even finding a black-tie dress with translucent elements is easy, the Valerie Dress retains modesty without losing its sexy edge.

It’s All About Highlighting

 We aren’t talking about makeup here – we mean highlighting your natural figure! Emphasis on natural. This year has been all about being your authentic self, so why not embrace the body you have? Flaunt it! Whether you have hourglass curves or an athletic build, Lavanya Coodly has pieces that will accentuate everything you love about your body. Long, lean legs? Show them off with some breezy relaxed fit pants, like our Erica Pants. Tiny waist, full hips? Try any one of our adorable, cinched-waist dresses like the Black Bubble Dress. Lavanya Coodly is committed to supplying the perfect match for our customers’ needs and catering to whatever your lifestyle may require.

Picking a great color and fabric for your dress is important, but what’s more important is making sure it fits your figure. Your body shape can make all the difference in your new dress. Every woman has a different body which can make it tough to find the perfect fitting dress, but luckily most bodies fall within a few categories. Apple shaped, pear shaped, hourglass shaped, and athletic are the predominant body types.

Apple shaped bodies look like inverted triangles. Bodies like this have wide shoulders with a less defined waist or curvy hips.  Apple shaped bodies typically look good in dresses with Empire Waists higher up on the dress. Full skirts also look good for ladies with an apple shaped body. On the other hand, avoid wearing belts or anything that brings attention to the midsection

Ladies with pear shaped bodies typically have wide hips and narrow shoulders. Ladies with pear shaped bodies typically have bigger rears and narrower shoulders. These bodies often have the issue of needing a different size on top and on the bottom. If you have a pear shaped body you’ll want to find a dress that helps make your figure look more uniform throughout. You should look for dresses with tops like blouses to help give you this effect. If you love sheath and shift dresses, you’ll want to have them altered to your body type. Two piece dresses might also be a better fit for you.

For an hourglass shaped body, you’ll be all around curvy. You’ll have a well defined waist and your bust and hip measurements will be similar. You might have a full bust and full waist also. If you have an hourglass shaped body, you can buy a dress that’ll help accentuate those curves. You might want to buy knit dresses or sheaths with fitted waists that help bring out your natural feminine figure. For the most part, you’ll want to stay away from anything like a shift dress that hides your natural shape.

If you work out, or were born with a naturally more muscular or athletic body, you might have a hard time deciding what to wear beyond workout clothes. You might look great in some Adidas or Nike clothing, or maybe some yoga pants, but what about when you want to go out at night? Well, in our opinion you can’t really go wrong. No matter what you wear, you will have something to show off. You can go sleeveless, and show off your toned arms. You can wear something that’s a halter top that’s cut off lower, and it will help show off your defined collarbones. If you are worried about thick legs, you can consider wearing something with a cinched waist, which might even make you look a little more curvy and attain that hourglass shape.

Would you have guessed that wearing well-tailored dresses can help give you that upper edge you need in that big interview you have coming up?

Or that it can cause your coworkers to view you in a better light?

According to a study posted in the Journal of Business Research, the difference in how you dress can drastically change how you are viewed by others, especially in a work setting. In this particular study, researchers selected a group of more than 150 observers and showed them the same woman in the same scenario wearing different clothing (high quality with an identifiable brand, clothing with a cheap brand, and clothing with no brand).

The observers were also shown a video of the same woman interviewing for a job wearing the different clothing sets, and were asked to rate the woman on how capable they were for the job and how much they should be paid.

As observed in the study, researchers determined that wearing more elegant clothing had a direct impact on the observer’s perception of the interviewee’s attractiveness, which lent toward their credibility in the interview. Since the applicant was perceived as more attractive and likely to succeed, they were given the job more often. On top of this, it was deemed fitting that the well-dressed woman should get paid more than the others, even though it was the same exact person. The main takeaway: Whether you want to look good on a date or are interviewing for that dream job you always wanted, dressing in finely crafted clothing can make all the difference in helping deliver the result you want to achieve.

Here at Lavanya Coodly, we work around the clock to provide finely crafted clothing for both men and women. In regards to our women’s selection, we focus on designing clothes that speaks to all types of sophisticated women. Those who travel, commit their time to charity, and support the fine arts. Those that work, appreciate theater, and enjoy listening to music and relaxing with their family. Regardless of your life style, if you want to stand out and be well-dressed, this is the right place for you.
