I am going to a golf event and want to look cute and fashionable. What should I wear?

No matter where you go always take into consideration your figure type, age and what event you are going to before choosing an outfit. Whether you are playing in a golf tournament or just attending one, something sporty/casual will fit the bill. There are many choices. If the weather is warm you can wear cotton shorts (2"-3" above knee) provided you have nice legs. A tall person would look nice in cotton pants that are calf length. If you are short wear light weight cotton ankle pants. Choose a color that is flattering on you and stick to one color (can be different shades) if you are short or heavy. If you are slim you can choose a different color top and bottom that look good together (white pants and colored, printed or striped top). Finish off your outfit with a matching or coordinating visor and a sweater or windbreaker if it gets cool. If the weather is cold, wear slacks and bundle up.

I would like to know how to dress when going to a professional boxing match. I am going to the Klitschko brothers in Germany....need to know. I am 46, my daughter is 22 and going also.

I must confess that I haven't been to a boxing match, but casual (not sloppy) pops into my mind. Good taste in choosing your outfit comes first. That means choosing clothes that look good on your figure type and that are age appropriate. If your daughter 22 has a nice figure, she may want to wear a nice pair of jeans tucked into boots or ballerina flats and a top (perhaps a cotton turtleneck). She'll look great if she has a nice hairstyle and not too much make-up.

Very few 46 year olds look great in denims. Without knowing specifics, wear tailored straight leg pants and a top in the same color. That will give you a more slimming look. If you want height, wear shoes or boots with 2" heels. You can accessorize with a scarf or simple necklace. With a good hairstyle and light makeup you'll look great.

When choosing a jacket check out the weather. If it is warm, a light weight jacket will work; if it is cool, choose a heavier weight or leather jacket.
