Shopping Tips for Women's Fashion & Clothing
It's the same with Christmas shopping. When the stores are less crowded, you'll find it easier to maneuver around clothing racks, find an empty fitting room, and get help from the sales clerk.
周末、节假日是人流量的高峰。商店里密密麻麻的人群，特别拥挤，根本就没有立足之地。所以不要选择人流高峰期购物，因为这时商店不会拥挤，你可以穿梭于琳琅满目的商品之间，更容易发现喜欢的衣服。

Avoid multiple buttons, tight collars, panty hose and lace-up shoes. 逛街买衣服的话，记得要穿容易脱也容易穿的宽松衣服，这样试衣服很方便。如果你穿着很多纽扣或领子特紧的衣服，或连裤袜，或系带的鞋买衣服，我保证你试穿一次衣服就不想再试了。 Most stores supply mirrors that may alter your appearance in such a way that you'll appear slimmer. This is good for sales -- but not good when you get home and find out that you look very different in your own mirror. Always check the store's return policy before buying anything and save your receipts in the event that you have to return a garment. 你有没有发现，大多商店的试衣镜会显人苗条。明明在商店的镜子里衣服很显腰身，回到家再照镜子会呈现出不一样的效果。所以，在买东西之前一定要了解商店的退货政策，然后保存好收据，以防衣服不合身还可以退货。 Don't buy loose clothing that hangs on your frame. This will add bulk and make you appear larger. On the other hand, stay away from clothes that will fit perfectly if you lose 5 不要买太宽松的衣服，那样会增大你的体型。也不要买太紧的衣服，那样会把你身体的缺陷暴露出来。买衣服一定要合身舒服的。 Get a second opinion from a friend who is on the same mission. Shopping for clothing takes time, so make it clear from the beginning that this will be an all-day event and treat her to lunch for telling you exactly how the styles and colors look on you. 找个能帮你挑选衣服的朋友一起逛街。有的时候当局者迷，旁观者清。但是记得给人家报销午饭哦！ Wearing the latest styles and trends will keep you updated, but don't wear too many at once. Keep your wardrobe versatile and mix trendy fashions with classic style. 最新流行的时尚衣服会让你看起来很潮。但是不要买太多。衣橱里要保持有各种各样不同风格的衣服。 Always wear bras and panties that fit you well. Bras that ride up your back will not enhance your bust and you'll probably experience unwanted bulges. Consider investing in a body shaper to look sleek in a suit or dress. Many tanks and halter tops now have a built-in bra, enjoy! 内衣一定要选择合身的。如果文胸不合身，不但不会增大你的胸部，也许会得到相反的效果。现在很多衣服都有自带的文胸，这样就节省了你挑选文胸的时间了。 This can be done, but keep it practical. Who says you can't wear a tank top in the Winter? Mix and match to find the right balance. Even in cooler climates, a summer tank looks just fine in the winter under long sleeves or a jacket. Just make sure you choose similar colors. 谁说冬天不可以穿背心的?如果你能很好的搭配，冬天穿背心或T恤也是很时尚的。冬天里面穿背心外面穿一件长袖外套或夹克。衣服没有季节性。 You've probably come across styles that look great on you. If the style is classic, you're in luck. Some fashions such as turtlenecks never lose popularity. If the style is trendy, enjoy it for the moment, but don't toss it out when the trend ends. Fashion trends have a tendency to come back in style, so you can dig it out and wear it again if you haven't experienced any major weight fluctuations. 每个人都有适合自己的风格。有些衣服的时尚是永恒的。有些衣服只是昙花一现，只流行一段时间。如果你的衣服过时了，千万不要丢掉它哦。说不定时尚潮流还会倒转回来的。 （听力课堂网Kris翻译）
