Fashion Spring Clean: Update Your Lingerie Wardrobe
good long look at your lingerie drawer. If you still don’t see any problem, then picture a stranger taking a look at your lingerie drawer. Yep, the once whiter-than-white bra you love is more a shade of grey, the trusty black balcony bra that goes perfectly with a dress you own is distorted into looking more like a mangled mess. You are the only person who will buy you lingerie so be prepared to treat yourself, indulge in one of life’s necessities. Perhaps it’s time to take on a different method to your lingerie purchases?
Here are five tips to help you on your way to a perfect lingerie wardrobe…
Bra-fitting
Firstly, get bra-fitted. If you’ve changed shape at all then you may need to get fitted more regularly. Also if you’re buying a different make or shape of lingerie then you must get fitted every time you buy something completely new.
Create a Lingerie Drawer
Secondly, it’s important to create a lingerie drawer which works for you and your needs. Purchase the following: t-shirt bras with seven matching simple knickers (these are for everyday use so comfort is key here); five beautiful sets (this will suit your style and personality – sexy, sensual, sporty or one of each and every occasion).
Make Sure You Multi-Way
Thirdly, whether you’re a social butterfly or a home bird there will be the occasion when a good multi-way bra is a must. Choose one which goes strapless, halterneck and cross-over at the back. This bra will come in very handy during the summer months, too.
Sexy AND Comfortable Nightwear
Fourthly, the chances are that if your lingerie drawer needs updating then your nightwear will need addressing, too. The trick is to marry sexiness with comfort – yes it does exist. Also, you will need some lounge wear in soft cottons or cashmere that you can wear around the house while cooking or cleaning.
Don’t Forget your Hosiery
Finally, if you haven’t given your lingerie drawer much thought then your hosiery drawer might also need some attention.
Whether there are bundles of tights with little elastic left in them or odd stockings, throw them out. Invest in an array of tights and stockings which compliment your wardrobe, but not too many – be bold throw away old hosiery as you go.
Today’s Fashion in Women’s Clothing
When we talk about women clothing, it basically refers to an ultimate representation of a woman’s confidence to carry off any clothing whether fashionable or simple and make her look more stylish and glamorous. You will find here the cardinal rules of dressing up in accordance to your body shape
The style in summer: Its the summer time. Go for khaki pants, capris and plain shirts or printed tops. Don’t go for plain tees as they are too boring to beat the heat. Try different wild and exotic colors. If you want to wear your old jeans, match it up with an off-the-shoulder tunic or sleeveless top as a cover up.
Follow the simple and elegant style: When somebody wants to look sexy, it does not mean that you have to wear micro mini skirts and tight tops. You can opt for loose, full skirted , baggy style tops as well. Wear a long, full-skirted dress that complements with your height. Tall, thin women will look good on belted dresses with stiff pleats.
One of a unique style: Always prefer to wear certain unique dresses which you can carry off confidently without looking funny. This is the perfect way to make a fashion statement. This does not mean you will buy an expensive designer wear for yourself. Rather in small, street markets, you can select good stuff at low costs.
Shape up: Don’t be afraid to reveal your figure but in a decent manner. You can emphasize your body shape and size by wearing Backless tops, short or knee length skirts, sleeveless t-shirts, v-neck tops etc. One of the most flattering way to reveal is by wearing straight leg or boot cut jeans that will sit on your hips, your waist or just below your hip bone.
Dare to wear red: Red is a classic color preferred by many women. The color symbolizes bold confidence, power, and at the same time it also gives a figure-flattering shape because of its deeper-hued incarnation. The red colored dress can absorb light and conceal darkness.
If you are not sure, wear black: Black is a color that makes everyone looks slimmer. This is a color which will never go down in its popularity in women’s clothing.
There you are. I hope these tips on women’s clothing is useful to you. So, dress up and look and feel good at any size!
Fashion Trends For Children’s Clothing 2011
2011 has been an interesting year for fashion. This is the year where the press criticized celebrity baby Suri Cruise for wearing expensive designer kid’s clothing. This is the year where designer brands began to actively produce clothes for children-as there seems to be a market for expensive kid’s clothing. This is the year where children and adults alike explored the potentials of fashion from another culture-with Japanese and Korean fashion being in the forefront of the kid’s clothing and adult clothing fashion trends. It’s not too early to tell: after all, designers and clothing companies release their clothing lines early. What prominent trends can be seen from these early kid’s clothing releases?
Perhaps the most prominent trend to surge for the year 2011 is the theme of practical luxury or elegance for kid’s clothing. Again, this is a trend that probably stemmed from the “Suri Cruise effect,” wherein children want to wear designer clothes and parents want to dress their children in design brands. However, the clothing companies are gunning for something appropriate for kids despite its designer-luxury trappings. These designer kid’s clothing items will be comfortable and will steer away from styles that are inappropriate for the toddler and pre-teen set.
The eco-conscious theme will also become prominent in 2011, sipping its way from the adult runway to the kid’s clothing industry. Expect kid’s clothing pieces made from highly sustainable materials such as bamboo, organic cotton, and other similar fabrics. Don’t expect kid’s clothing to incorporate the leather and the highly sexualized look of 80s rock, although many will see the disgruntled, mixed and matched styles that the 80s made popular.
This fashion aesthetic somewhat adheres to the concept of 80s fashion-clothes and accessories that shouldn’t match but go well together anyway, the somewhat mature Victorian-inspired dresses, the exotic Lolita-styled dresses made innocent and child-like (and therefore safe yet cute).
For girl’s fashion, expect dresses with flowing fabrics. This trend, which is more apparent in countries such as Australia and United Kingdom, is likely to be incorporated in kid’s clothing-a far cry from the current trend of flesh showing for women’s fashion. What not to expect in kid’s clothing in 2011: velvet. Many fashion journalists are already seeing velvet as a major material in some of the biggest designs for next year-but it’s unlikely that this material will enter the kid’s clothing scene.
