Fashion risks worth taking

Do you play safe by sticking to basic colours or wear the usual? Make your closet more fun and experiment more this year.

Here's a list of risks you can take, reports huffingtonpost.com:

* Wear a designer whose name you can't pronounce. Things in other languages are just fancier.

* Try socks with sandals.

* Instead of boring black glasses, opt for coloured frames.

* Spend money on a pair of thigh-high boots.

* Don't wear a gown to an event. Try a jumpsuit instead.

* Gather courage to wear cut-out clothes. Almost everyone can wear them, it's just about finding the right cut-outs for your body type.
