In answer to this dressing clamour, fashion designers have been more creative in thinking ways to make womens suit more fashionable without losing its authoritative presence. But what is the secret to womens suit fashion?

The fit. Womens suit should be able to hug the body however, it should not be tight. Having the perfect fit may be difficult yet it should be one of the greatest factors to consider. Having the perfect fir accentuates the body and the curves in the feminine form while refining the appearance of the woman.

Comfort. Comfort is established by the time you are able to wear the womens suit. However, by having knowledge of the quality of the fabrics that may be available, you can choose which fabric will be more comfortable for you. Most often, wool is preferred as the material for the clothing while cotton runs secondary.

Versatility. Versatility is one of the requirements of having a fashionable womens suit. Aside from the fact that these pieces are quite costly, it would be better if the pieces still retain a good ensemble whether the pieces are paired to a pants or a skirt.

The aesthetic appearance. While it is a must that womens suit is smartly bought with cost-affectivity considered, the visual appearance still is the top priority in having a fashionable womens suit. The suit should be able to project a powerful office presence yet maintaining the feminine side of the woman. The suit should be able to create illusion to make the body appear classy and elegant, and able to highlight the bearing of a woman. Aesthetic appearance includes all the factors affecting the visuals of the suit. This includes the color, the style and the fit.

The accessories. While some women may neglect the impact that accessories can have on the fashion of the womens suit, these have unnamed importance as accessories add to the accents of a simple suit. However, accessories should be left at a minimal to avoid exaggerations on the fashion. Most often the simplest is the best. Accessories include the jewelries, the bags and the scarf.

The secret to womens suit fashion is incredibly flexible to all women. Though there might be no definite standard on this matter, as fashion sense varies from a person to another, fashion has a meaning that engulfs its definition: comfort.

The Benefits of Bamboo Clothing

Thursday, December 31st, 2009

There has been a large increase in the amount of bamboo clothes and furnishings that have come on to the market lately, and its no surprise as bamboo is perhaps one of the most underrated fabrics around.

It may seem strange to most people that the tough fibrous grass, often associated with the Far East, can be manufactured into clothes. But bamboo is an incredibly soft and versatile fabric that is being used to make everything from bamboo bath towels to t-shirts and track suits.

Bamboo is an incredibly fast growing grass so it is a sustainable source that requires no assistance in the shape of fertilizers and pesticides to prosper. But there are far more benfits to bamboo than its eco-friendly credentials.

Bamboo is an extremely soft fabric. In comparison to cotton, bamboo is just as soft and can even be used to make fleece type fabrics that feel like cashmere next to the skin. The secret of bamboos softness as a fabric is in the microscopic shape of the fibres which are round and smooth and incredibly light making it an exceptionally soft material.

But bamboo has other qualities that make it ideal for the manufacture of clothes. Bamboo has an incredible ability to soak up water which makes it ideal for activewear and workout suits. Bamboo activewear can keep you dry no matter how demanding a workout. And because eof its microscopic fibre design, bamboo naturally allows air to flow through the material which can help keep you warm in the cold and keep you cool when warm. This thermo-control property is one of the reasons bamboo clothing is fast becoming a popular eco-friendly alternative to cotton.

Beret, Sweater, and Cashmere

Sunday, December 27th, 2009

In Los Angeles I’m not sure that you can ever say that winter weather is frightful, but we have enough natural disasters to be frightening…This week has been the closest thing to cold that we have experienced for the past two years. It was even 32 degrees on my way to work Tuesday. That is about as cold as it gets. And it is a great excuse to wear a beret.

Berets this season have been great fun. They come in all colors and fabrics. They are knit, wool, alpaca, cashmere, or even hemp. But the real difference this season is that they are coming in a little more variety when it comes to the shapes. The knits have more pattern, and the shape is looser to give a more flattering look. And of course they are warm and cozy. So yes, even in L.A. it is great to wear a beret when the weather is just a bit frightful…

I teach in a fairly new classroom where the air conditioning is always “on the fritz.” It is either as cold as the arctic, or has no air at all, and feels like the amazon with its accompanying humidity courtesy of the 36 students who come in every hour. They and I have learned some strategies in dealing with this problem. We layer!!!!

I try to always have a layer of “basic t-shirt” followed with some kind of sweater or sweatshirt, followed by a jacket or coat. Three layers is the absolute minimumto be able tofunction in this daily puzzle of, “What temperature do you think it will be today in room L207?”

Perhaps as a defense for such labor-intensive wardrobe decisions, I have come to love cute sweaters. There are so many out there now, and they can be bought on the cheap. Target has cute sweaters. So does Marshall’s, and even Tuesday Morning! Of course Nordstrom, Bloomingdale’s, and Saks do too, but this is truly an item where you can go with your budget and still get something really cute. You can get bright colors, prints, cotton, wool, cashmere, alpaca, cardigans or v-necks. I really love the sweaters with a bit of decoration that they are showing this season.

Sweaters are warm cozy, and are so versatile. What do you have in your closet?

This is the time of year for all things soft and warm to wear. One of my favorite soft warm fabrics is cashmere. Sometimes when I am shopping and I see a wonderful cashmere sweater, I cannot help myself. I have to pet it. And there is no question that a nice cashmere sweater can be VERY expensive.

So if you want to induge in cashmere but not break the bank, buy a cashmere accessory like a cashmere scarf. They are just as soft and warm as a sweater, and you will feel it next to your neck–warm and cozy. Most scarves are more reasonably priced than sweaters. You could also buy cashmere gloves or mittens, or hat. Or my favorite–cashmere socks! They keep your toes toasty even in the coldest weather.

Cashmere definitely makes it inmy top ten favoritefabrics to wear. Try it :)

Short evening dress is perfect pick for any occasion Short evening dress adds glitz to appearance Fun, Flirty, Feminine, Romantic and Striking all t

Wednesday, December 16th, 2009

Short evening dress is perfect pick for any occasion Short evening dress adds glitz to appearance Fun, Flirty, Feminine, Romantic and Striking all these qualities can be found in one and only one dress i.e. Short Evening Dress. Short evening dress is perfect pick for any occasion except the most formal one. But opting for any short evening dress is not a fair idea. Perfect dress is the one that complements figure. Thus to help you out in it here are mentioned some guidelines.

Consider Length

Length of short evening dress varies from knees to just above the knee to ultra short. Selection of length depends on the wearer’s choice, style, personality and figure. Knee length is for those not comfortable with shorter lengths. Just above the knee length is perfect for those having beautiful legs and wants to show them off. Ultra short length is choice of sexy and stylish women who believe in exposing.


Consider Body Type while Selecting Style

Style of the dress should be decided considering body type. No matter how gorgeous the style is, but till it enhance figure it is of no use. Tight short evening dress will work greatly on slim women. But on fatty women this style will not work well as it will cling on them. For curvy women a tailored evening dress is a good option. Tailored dress accentuates positive areas of curvy women and hides the flaws. On tall women all types of short evening dresses look good. For instance, strapless short evening dress, sheath short evening dress, halter short evening dress, one shoulder short evening dress etc. Short women should opt for empire waist short evening dress, A-line short evening dress, straight cut short evening dress etc.

Consider Color of Dress

Regarding color of short evening dress black is the most ideal choice. Apart from it red, blue, purple, pink, orange, gold, silver and white colors are also equal in importance. Consider Materials Short evening dresses are best made of fabrics like silk, satin, chiffon, and taffeta. These are regarded best fabrics because according to fashion guideline the sleeker the material is the sexier look it imparts. Rayon and polyester fabrics are good alternatives if want a less expensive material. Give careful consideration to these pointers while selecting short evening dress. But with them there are certain other things also which should be remembered when wearing short evening dress. Here are they:

1) Do wear stilettos or high heel shoes with short evening dress because they make this outfit look glamorous and stylish by making the wearer’s legs look longer. High leather boots are also good option to add some drama to an outfit.

2) Opting for classic styles is an intelligent choice as they never go out of fashion. Latest trends are guest of little time only but classic styles stay longer.

3) Everybody does not like sequins and beads in dress but all wants to shine like them. Dont fret as shrugs, shawls and sashes works equals to sequins to add that extra bit of glam and glitz.

4) No doubt short evening dress portrays glamour and can alone do wonders to appearance but accessorizing it adds more to its beauty just like stars add beauty to moon.

How To Tie Winter Scarf

Monday, December 14th, 2009

Scarves can provide a wonderful accent for both genders and can be used all year long. Cashmere, wool, silk, polyester and cotton are few fabrics from which winter scarves are made. Various scarves with a variety of textures may also have a variety of ways to be tied. Following are four of the popular ways of tying scarves, each of them serves to bring out the different aspects of the scarf such as the fabric, or the color, and also how they match the occasion and the clothing you are wearing.

The balance scarf knot works well on fringed wool or cotton scarves, designed to keep you snug in winter. Inside the loose outer wears, those scarves go well. First, they can reduce the feeling of heavy jacket and maintain a balance. On the other hand, add beauty. The balance knot is a good option for anyone’s scarf. The suitable environment of this knot is the outdoor. Women can pick the relative bright colors, such as pink, orange, or green. Those who are young can get away with more choices. Men may be prudent to the stable colors including dark blue and soil brown. The grid pattern is always nice. The procedures of this kind are: Wrap the scarf around the neck and tie a knot through passage before the end of the scarf around the neck is in the rear end of the dressing back through the gap between the wrap and the neck adjusted a bit to keep the same length on both ends and keep the balance.

The slim knot is good for cotton or wool scarves. As for the match clothing, knits and sweaters turtleneck can go well with scarves color. The simplicity of a scarf makes it the perfect accessory for a jacket, coat or sweater. If directly with a low-neck sweater or a sweater coat, you can choose the scarf in the two color mixture. But the condition is that the color of the sweater is relatively dull; otherwise, it will be too flashy. This knot works for anywhere outdoor. The way to put a scarf on is usually the same, only fashion differs year to year. You tie this knot as follows: wrap the scarf around your neck and knot it both at the front and at the back of your neck. It belongs to the basic tying knot for the thick scarves and the biggest advantage is easy to learn. It doesn’t take much effort especially for males who are lazy.

The square silk scarves are excellent for beautiful knot. Choose a solid color shirt to wear with a patterned scarf; if your scarf is plain then you can choose a patterned shirt to go with it. The ideal time for this knot is at work. The purple scarves show the elegance from the light color outfit. Usually the contrast color from the same bright color tone can be easily failed but it can be attractive with a light blue color. Four steps are necessary to tie this knot. Roll it a bit from the longer edge and fold the silk scarf into a triangle. Leave a large space for the step that comes afterwards. The geometric pattern should be in the middle of the chest where the knot will be tied. You will need to adjust it accordingly to maintain the smoothness and elegance.

Tips On How To Wear Spring/Summer 2010 Fashion Trends For Women

Sunday, December 6th, 2009

Do you want to be wearing this season’s trends whilst staying stylish and not be a fashion victim?

The only way to achieve this is to be conscious of your body shape and dress accordingly. So here are a few guidelines on how to wear some of this season’s trends.

COLOUR – Wearing the right colour can takes years off.So what do you do when this seasons colours arent right for you? You have a few options:

1.mix them with shades that do suit you

2. only wear the colour in small doses

3. keep the colour away from your face

The main colours this Spring/Summer are:

All White- I hear you all gasp I cant wear white! It makes me look fat/pale etc. Well wearing all white can be as slimming wearing as all black and such a good alternative. We all know white looks good on tanned and dark skin, but all you pale ethereal complexions never fear just wear softer whites.

Also the fabric will have an effect a crisp tailored white shirt will look whiter and brighter than a tee shirt, so to soften a harsh look wear softer flowing fabrics.

The big trends are:

KNEE HIGH SOCKS: These along with thigh high socks are set to be very popular, but the school girl look is definitely a no no so do not wear with pleated skirts. This season it is more of a grown up look with the socks teamed with patterned tights for extra texture. The socks are either worn pulled up or scrunched down. Knee high socks or just above the knee socks are more slimming than thigh high if you are concerned with the size of your thighs. In the warmer weather wear thinner and light coloured socks. If you are conscious about your legs, try neutral plain socks or match the colour to your shoe. Wear a heel for a more sophisticated look.

HIGH WAISTED HOTPANTS!!! Wearing knee high socks with hot pants will ensure not too much skin is revealed. But OK with hot pants you do have to be young and have a reasonable figure, so well leave that one for the young fashionistas. However if you wear on the beach then that is a different scenario it can give you a fun and sexy 1950s look. Alternative and still on trend looks are:

BOY SHORTS & SHORT SHORTS: Still short but not as figure hugging

TAP PANTS: these are looser and not so short, usually with a ruffled finish (similar to lingerie) in lace or semi sheer materials. These give a feminine look

UNDERWEAR AS OUTERWEAR: Corsets/bustiers will be shown and worn as tops or part of dresses. This is good news for all shapes and sizes as they hold you in, push you up and give curves where none existed. Some will have bra straps giving added support. For a more feminine look, wear silk/satin slips as dresses or tops. Some of the hot pants will be made of satin and so looking like lingerie. For the daring bras will be worn on top of tight tops no need to hide your La Perlas now.

JEWELLERY: Big statement necklaces are still on trend. Only have one large statement piece unless your bone structure is large. If you have an angular face, choose jewellery with angular details, e.g. squares, triangles. If you have a contoured face, choose softer detail such as loops, circle, and ovals. Also consider your face shape when choosing jewellery. E.g. a round face will look good in longer earrings as they will lengthen the face, round earrings will only emphasise the roundness of the face.

TROUSERS:

Patterned pants stripes, florals, graphic and abstract shapes in bright & bold colours and also subtle & muted colours. Anything as long as they are patterned. Not good news for the bottom heavy figure so go for the more relaxed cuts rather than skinny tailored cuts. This trend will suit top heavy or the boyish figure.

Jodhpurs-high waisted to make the legs look longer and the muffin tops in . The shape gives a curve to the boyish figure and can also help disguise the larger hips.

Jumps suits & playsuits. These were in trend last summer and continuein to SS10. Will look good on curvy figures in the softer fabrics, but also for the straighter figures in a more taut fabric.

Patched ripped jeans -probably only for the younger woman

Genie pants – similar to harem pants but a bit more fitted.

DRESSES:Hot pants and short shorts may be showing a lot of leg suring the day, but it’s the more sophisticated long slit dresses for the evening. dresses with splits – How far up will you go? For the daring, the split will reach the hip. If don’t have tanned toned legs, wear patterned tights or show off your stay ups.

FUTURE TRIBAL WARRIOR: This is a blend of dark ancient tribal fashion (think Xena Warrior Princess) with a futuristic twist.Leather and metal plating are key materials.

How to choose sexy lingerie

Sunday, December 6th, 2009

Choosing the right lingerie is not that easy because you need to choose something that really goes well with you and your taste. There are dozens of lingerie styles that are suitable for different uses and occasions and if you are looking for anything related to lingerie then Playful Threads is where to go. The shopping experience at Playful Threads is very unique because you will be able to choose from a huge selection of sexy lingerie items.

First of all you need to choose the style of your lingerie. If you did not decide what you want exactly then you can browse through the different categories of these sexy lingerie items and your eyes will dazzle with the variety offered – but you wont be able to choose! Decide up front what you want to wear and then head directly to the category of your choice. After you choose the piece or pieces you want, then you can browse through the other categories to see if something catches your eye. This way will help you to keep within budget and after your shopping tour, you will end up satisfied.

Second, you need to find out which styles go perfectly with your body. You do not need to follow a diet plan just to wear sexy lingerie but you can choose the pieces with sexy fabrics to give you the slimming effect. Some lingerie pieces come with plastic support and that will help show off your lovely curves and give you a slimmer and sexier appearance.

If you are petite, then sheer and transparent fabrics are your perfect choice as they will match perfectly with your body type. Two piece lingerie sets are perfect for you and they will enhance the sexy look you want.

Choosing the color also plays a key role in giving you the sexy appearance, women with white skin tone will match perfectly with red, white and black colors as they will give an excellent contrast with their skin tone. Darker skin tones goes also well with white and black colors and all pastel colors. Always choose the color that you like because it will help you get the mode you want.

Choosing the size is also important because you need to feel comfortable. A common mistake that some women fall into is to choosing a smaller size thinking that this will help them to appear slimmer but that will affect their comfort immensely and their self confidence too because the super tight fitting will give them the feeling that they have extra weight. Instead, choose another model with heavier fabric that conceals those extra pounds and give you the comfortable feeling at the same time.

Sexy lingerie is made to help you feel sexy and enjoy your intimate moments with your partner so choose the best thing that boosts this feeling!
