Fashion for Him: How to wear bold prints

Tired of wearing the same old plain shirts but too anxious to step out of your comfort zone? Everyone is. Prints are easy, stylish additions to test out the waters without going too bold. They can be used from head to toe to add that extra little pop every outfit needs. The days of blending in are over; it’s time to stand out.

Fall wardrobe for men

 Loathe me to say it, but summer is over. But as the dark nights descend upon us, we can take some solace in the fact that Autum/Winter ’15 is filled with exciting sartorial opportunities that offer a welcome distraction (and protection) from the dreaded temperature drop. However, the new season doesn’t necessarily mean splurging on a whole new wardrobe, as there are many simple and effective ways to transition into the new season by merging some existing summer pieces with key autumnal staples.

Fashion for tall women, wear leggins

Tall women don't need to fear leggings and skinny jeans. These styles can actually add visual length to your legs and hug your curves in a flattering way. Like any other pair of pants, it can be difficult for tall women to find leggings and skinny jeans that are long enough. Shop at stores that cater to tall women and choose conservative colors and styles that you can wear with a variety of tops.

Fashion campaign for individual beauty

When it comes to standing out, fashion’s stance on the matter is somewhat of a double-edged sword. On the one hand, the importance of a curated, personal style is stressed. But, each season brings the latest trends and the must-have pieces we’re told we need to wear in order to fit in.

Get rid of static cling

Static cling is every fashion girl’s worst nightmare, and there is no time that static cling strikes quite like winter. Because static occurs when electric charges accumulate on fabrics that are rubbing together, especially in a dry environment, the combination of tights, and a skirt, and dry weather usually equals a static cling 911.

Pink and Red together in an outfit?

Somewhere along the way, red and pink got a reputation for clashing terribly, which resulted in women avoiding the color combo like the plague (true story: “Do red and pink clash?” yields over 4 million results in Google.)

How to match clothes and makeup

How to dress for a cocktail party

Old etiquette: No surprise here―a cocktail dress.

New etiquette: Cocktail dresses are always in style, but you have other options.

What to wear: These days, a cocktail party can be anything from a swanky society affair―cue that glittery knee-length number from the “special occasions” department―to a low-key group of friends gathered around a platter of crudités. But for the most part, “cocktail parties are dressy-casual, so you can’t go wrong if you wear a top with some special details and a skirt or tailored pants, plus heels or fancy flats,” says Williamson. “Avoid fabrics that are too casual, like chino, jersey, and denim.”

How to dress for a business/work event

Old etiquette: Your nine-to-five wear puts in some overtime.

New etiquette: Keep things professional (you’re still working) but in line with the event.

Fashion for him: Match watches and clothing

Watches are one of the most worn piece of accessories by most men, who, when they pick their accessories, choose to wear a watch or a tie. Waistbands, pocket squares and all the other accessories men can use are generally left for the second or third place. The watch you are wearing speaks a lot about your personality and taste. The reason watches are such a powerful reflection of one’s inner being is because they are a conscious choice. Mostly everyone today has a cell phone they can check to see what time it is, so wearing a watch is a deliberate choice and a style statement.

Fashion mistakes that make you look older

I don't know any woman who will purposely wear something that makes her look fatter. But you'd be surprised by how many women wear styles that make them look older. It's not just vanity that keeps me wanting to look younger. It's the fact that I don't feel old on the inside, so why would I want to portray an aged image to the world? Here is my list of the Top 10 things that will make you look older:

How to look more feminine

Current trends may have an air of toughness (studs, menswear) and minimalism, but there are still plenty of ways to add a feminine touch to your look.

A little bit of softness - a pretty pink here, a peek of lace there - really goes a long way in adding a youthful, feminine touch to everything you wear.

Perfumes:Alien by Thierry Mugler

Discover Alien, radiant and mysterious, the elixir of absolute femininity. Be seduced by the soothing solar energy of this extraordinary fragrance from elsewhere. Luminous like a brilliant solar flower, the fragrance exudes a positive energy, charged with mystery. Evoking the scent of wood warmed by intense sunlight, Alien is sensual and intriguing, yet as soft and rich as the caress of cashmere.

Try a crop top over your blouse

What better way to ring in a new year than by stepping out of your comfort zone.

At the forefront of fashion trends that refuse to go out of style is the crop top. While you might think this flesh-flashing piece wouldn’t get much wear when summer ends, we’ve got the style tip–to prove you wrong.

Denim shorts and black tights

Denim cutoffs might be the quintessential summer staple, but they also look amazing—and appropriate—in the fall and winter when they’re styled around seasonal pieces, and a pair of opaque black tights.

How to wear a statement necklace

Looking for a way to make a style statement? Dainty jewelry is fine, but nothing provides impact like a statement necklace. It’s a great way to add interest to a work look or dress up a weekend outfit. What classifies as a statement necklace? Anything that’s bold or chunky or really stands out to make a statement.

How to hide a muffin top

Regardless of your size, shape or even age, there’s one body issue you are probably dealing with: the muffin top.

This roll of fat – large or small, depending on your overall size – plops over the top of your waistband to create the look of a muffin top. It can just spill over the front  of pants, or it can pop up over the sides and back of pants, too.

How to hide Bingo Wings

If you’ve never heard the term before, Bingo Wings are the name given to the jiggly areas of fat and extra skin under the arm that we all seem to develop as we age. Funny name. Not-so-funny problem. They can make even confident gals feel self-conscious about sleeveless and short-sleeve clothing.

How to transition your outfit from work to a date

So you have a date after work, but no time to go home and change into something a little more appropriate. It seems excessive and unnecessary to keep a whole different wardrobe under your desk stashed for such occasions. But, since we’ve all been in this situation, it is something we need to resolve. Read below to find several practical suggestions for how to go from day to night as easily as possible.

How to wear white pants without looking fat

White pants are a signal that you have earned the luxury of wearing something so impractical. After all, how many pieces of clothing require you to think about everything from what underwear you're going to wear to where you can sit without getting dirty?

Fashion for petites. How to choose a jacket.

Sure, it's important for petites to know what to look for in a jacket, but it's equally important to understand how a jacket should fit. To quickly determine whether or not a jacket fits correctly, check its fit at these key points.

How to burn belly fat

Do you like the outfit? Buy it now!

Everyone wants to get rid of belly fat.  There is no perfect way to do it, but there are a number of exercises that will help according to Dr. Peter Francis of San Diego State University.  He compared various stomach exercises to see which ones were the best overall to flatten the belly.  

Everything about Blush

We like to think of blush as pretty foolproof. There’s no detail work to master, no lines to stay inside of, and it looks great on everyone. But we also think that there’s a little more to applying blush than just dusting it on. Carefully placed blush can manipulate the appearance of your face shape in sneaky ways, and without much effort (we’re not talking about those trendy seven layer step systems). Play around with the looks below to find what application meets your own beauty needs. The results may surprise you!

How to clean your jewelry at home

You don't need fancy jewelry cleaner to get your silver to sparkle, your gold to gleam, and your gemstones to shine. Try these everyday items, most of which you probably already have in the house.

Personalize your fall clothes

This might be the easiest do-it-yourself in fashion history — all it takes is a bit of time to attach some well-chosen buttons to a beloved jacket. Luckily you can find a plethora of decorations, from Pin-trill’s head massage emoji to Saint Laurent’s French phrases (Je t’ai vu, tu m’as plu, anyone?). The idea is similar to that of covering a school folder in stickers or taking a Sharpie to your Vans; think of it as adding a personalized element that really makes a look your own. I wonder if there’s an emoji pin for that...

What to wear on Casual Friday

In many companies, casual Friday has become the norm. While it may be okay to dress down in jeans and sneakers, that doesn't mean you should be sloppy. Remember that this is still a place where business is conducted, and in order to maintain your professionalism at all times, avoid the urge to dress like you've just stepped away from your lawnmower.

What not to wear at work

Many women know that certain clothing items are off limits at work.  Skirts that are too tight, low cut blouses and leggings without proper backside coverage are examples.  However, there are also accessories that should be avoided at the workplace.  Before you get dressed for work, take a look at these 10 accessories that are inappropriate for work to ensure that you are dressing for success.

Color theory for makeup

A question I get asked a lot is ‘how do I pick a lipstick to match my eyeshadow?’ or ‘what blush will work with x lipstick?’. I think it’s fair to say that most of us are taking a stab in the dark when it comes to matching our makeup and we seem to struggle to know what colours will work on us. There are no rules in makeup and I’m always hesitant to say ridiculous things like ‘people with blue eyes shouldn’t wear blue eyeshadow’ because you should wear what makes you happy, end of story.
