Fashion Styling Courses
Thursday, September 27, 2012 Posted by Unknown at 10:27 PM
There are various fashion styling courses that are offered to
future stylists who want to pursue a career in the fashion industry.
These courses provide candidates with in-depth knowledge on various
subjects that may include nail care, hair care, hair styling, personal
care, wardrobe selection and garment selection.
Budding
stylists who are interested in pursuing a career in the fashion
industry can either opt for a 2 year Associate Degree Course in Fashion
Designing or they can opt for a 4 year Associate Degree Course in
Fashion Designing. Both these courses help future stylists understand
various aspects of personal styling and also understand how the industry
works. In addition to getting knowledge about the chosen path, these
courses also teach the future stylist various other things such as how
to develop contacts and how to keep clients happy.
Since there are
many reputed training institutes that offer fashion styling courses,
future stylists should consider various aspects before joining an
institute. Some of the aspects that should be considered include the
quality of training, internship, placement and future job opportunities.
Aspiring stylists who are interested in getting job experience should
look for fashion styling courses that also offer internship programs
since these programs allow stylists to get hands on experience. The main
benefit of an internship program is that most places that offer
internship programs allow candidates to make a few unintentional
mistakes as part of the learning procedure. These inevitable mistakes
often prevent future stylists from making similar mistakes in the
future.
The two types of fashion styling courses that are offered
to future stylists who want to become personal stylists are virtual
courses and face to face courses. Face to face courses are usually
preferred by most people who have access to institutes that offer these
courses since such seminars allow candidates to get hands on experience
and practice while learning.
Although face to face courses have
various benefits, many people opt for virtual courses for various
reasons. Virtual courses are ideal for people who do not have enough
time to attend face to face courses or live in a location that is far
away from institutes that offer face to face courses. Some fashion
styling institutes also offer blended seminars that allow candidates to
enter both face to face seminars and virtual seminars. Blended seminars
are considered to be ideal for future stylists who want to get both
hands on experience and want to save time while learning the art of
styling.

Fashion Review of the Last Decade
Tuesday, September 25, 2012 Posted by Unknown at 12:50 AM
The decade has just ended and we are once again starting out on a
clean slate. Nothing much or drastic has changed since the new decade
has just begun and we are still in the first few weeks of the brand new
year. However, it is fitting to go through the last decade's trends in
fashion to see if these will recur or will we have a totally fresh
approach in the world of fashion.
The
last decade's fashion saw the emergence of recycling the trends prior
to it most notably from the 90's. During the first few years, 90's
fashion was evident. However, at this time, it was more refined.
Prevalent in this year as well was stepping away from the unisex style
of dressing. The more "woman approach" was now being embraced as skirts
and dresses become more in-style.
The youth played an important
role in fashion during these times specifically in the early 2000's. Emo
and hip-hop style were the in-thing mainly because of the rise of emo
bands and new hip-hop artists. These artists have influenced the way
people dress and live. Hoodies and sweatpants were among the most
popular garments used last decade. You see Eminem wear these types of
clothing and other hip-hop moguls as well. Baggy pants and lose denims
were also common and are not only worn by men but by women as well. This
type of style however was again based on the 90's fashion.
Emo
style, on the other hand, is associated with wristbands and spiky hair.
Sometimes, this is accompanied with dark eye shadows and black fit
shirts. Blink 182, and Green Day were among those who influenced the
youth for this fashion.
By the late 2000's, the more urban style
fashion was introduced. Women and men were encouraged to be more
feminine and manly in terms of choosing the style of clothes.
Sophisticated garments such us black pants and black dress shoes became
popular. There was quite a shift of fashion style in hip-hop when Kanye
West introduced the lesser youthful hip-hop style. Loose shirt and pants
were now replaced for a more manly look. Power suits were also worn at
this time. Usually, these kinds of clothing are used only during formal
occasions. Yet, these became popular and are widely used even during
casual events.
If saggy clothes were fashionable in the 90's,
during this decade, tight jeans became widespread. Designer jeans were
more popular at this time. Of course, what is fashion without the
accessories? During the last decade, fashion was also associated with
designer glasses, both for men and women. The "geek look" was something
people have wanted to portray. For guys, in particular, baseball caps
were extremely popular for teenagers. However, these kinds of caps
cannot be bent so they stay as they are.
For sure there were still
a lot of fashion trends that were rampant during these years. These are
just a few examples and are the ones that became such a widespread
phenomena that almost everyone was into it. As we get into another
decade, we ask what kind of fashion we are looking at. Will we be going
back to the trends last decade or even three of four decades back? Or
will we be embracing a new craze? One thing is for sure, whatever is in
fashion now, and we are sure to follow it.
Fashion Icons and Wearing Red
Saturday, September 22, 2012 Posted by Unknown at 12:48 AM
There are different colours which are worn every autumn, every
winter, every spring and every summer. There are not too many colours
which are out of fashion, fashion all being about colours, but there are
some colours which are more frequently encountered than others and red
is one of them.
Red
is a colour which is definitely on an ascending direction, one that is
defining for the autumn-winter collection this year. Red is a colour
which only the daring women can wear and those who want to catch
everyone's eye. This is the best choice for those women who like being
in the centre of attention. Red is a passionate colour, a very sensual
one, one that has been chosen by designers all over the world because of
the passion and the voluptuous features it breathes and it transmits.
This is exactly why red could not be missing from the catwalks this
year. This is more than just a feminine shade and it can be combined
with a lot of other shades and tones, the most important part being that
you have to identify yourself with this colour and with its features.
Red
is also a colour which has made many women famous over time. However,
you don't have to wear a certain colour to become a fashion icon, this
being a more complex situation and a much more complex process. You must
have good taste and even good advisors around you. There have been a
lot of women who have become models through their way of dressing up and
of acting, imposing a real fashion trend. Here are some examples of
very famous women, who have revolutionized the world of fashion.
First
of all, there is Dita von Teese, one of the women who enjoyed the more
dramatic colours and who was very fond of the retro style, combined with
the glamour one. Then, there is Princess Diana, who was an example a
lot of other women followed and who was very famous for its social life
and for its taste in fashion. We can even encounter her personal fashion
style today. Then, there is Sarah Jessica Parker, who is a very
non-conformist person and who really has something to show in terms of
personality. Last but not least, there would be Nicole Kidman, who is
best characterized through the words simplicity and refinement. These
are the words which define the way she dresses and the way she teaches
the world to dress when attending any sort of event and when approaching
any kind of situation.
We all have our personal fashion styles
although not all of us are famous for it. Fashion can be considered a
quite relative domain as not all people have to obey the rules. This
means that if you don't like the retro fashion style, you don;t have to
wear retro clothes just to please the others, but of course you can make
an exception from time to time. Of course, that is if you really care.
Fashionable and Stylish
Wednesday, September 19, 2012 Posted by Unknown at 12:45 AM
Fashion and style. What are they? Do they always go together? Do
they mean one and the same thing? It's hard to say. According to
specialists in the field, fashion is actually a synonym for style or
glamour. It has been agreed on the fact that fashion is a way of
personal expression, and according to this criteria, one can be
fashionable when he/she fits in this expression mode, or unfashionable,
which would be the opposite. Fashion has manifestations in all the
fields of human activity, that is when can speak about fashion when we
refer to topics such as architecture, clothing, music, cosmetics,
entertainment, forms of speech or even politics or technology. Anything
in these fields can be described as being fashionable or not. When one
speaks about materialism or trend s using the term 'fashion', it can be
associated with a negative meaning.
Most
people today perceive fashion as a term referring mostly to clothes.
The beginnings of what we call fashion today did actually refer to
clothes and they go back as far as the sixteenth century. However, it
was only two centuries later that the real manifestations of fashion
took place and it happened in Europe, among the wealthy upper classes.
Fashion, just like any other manifestation of human activity, underwent
major and continual changes, to the point where it is today, that is,
being related to many fields of activities.
Of course, it would be unjustified to assume that fashion is the same all over the world. First of all, fashion differs from one society to another. Then, within a certain society, there are a lot of factors which may influence fashion such as age or generation, social class, profession or occupation. Even the geography of certain regions may bring about differences in fashion among the people of the same society.
But
how does fashion change? Because we all know that constant change is
what fashion is actually about. Everyone will agree that what is new now
will soon become old, and the process goes both ways, that I what was
once into fashion but is now considered to be old and obsolete will soon
turn into something new again. Capitalism has brought along with its
numerous good aspects some less appealing ones, such as waste. People
buy things which are not necessary to them and consequently speed up the
process of change as far as fashion is concerned. Young generations
have much to do with this change in fashion as well, because they are
always eager and willing to try interesting things, things that they
haven't experienced before, something new to be more precise.
What
made fashion so popular among people was actually the television. The
moment fashion hit television, in the late 1960s and early 1970s, was
the moment when the general population became interested in this aspect.
And fashion magazines, websites or even fashion blogs were only one
step away.
Pretty much in the same way as fashion, style can refer
to may things, from painting, music, literature, web design to
linguistics or manners of addressing people. The very definition of
style describes the term as a fashionable manner of doing things, which
points out that style and fashion are very closely related. Not
everything that is considered fashionable will also be regarded as
stylish, which is why people should avoid turning into a fashion victim,
one of those persons who will wear just about anything that's seen as
fashionable, no matter if it suits them or not, from hairstyles and
piercing to clothes. It is true that today's world and the society we
live in have set some rules in what fashion and style are concerned, but
these don't always have to be strictly followed. Being a fashion victim
will only turn you into one of the rest. If you want to be ahead at all
times, what you must try is to define your own style and that will make
you look your best.

Friday, August 31, 2012 Posted by Unknown at 11:09 PM
Golf hats are more than just a fashion statement; they are also a
good health practice. Whether you are golfing in the early morning or
the late evening, the sun is going to be hanging around. Golf caps help
to keep the sun out of your eyes and prevent sun burns and sun damage.

There
are many options to choose from when it comes to golf apparel. If you
want to remain stylish while using golf hats, then you may want to
choose name brand items such as a nike golf cap. In addition, there are
many colors and styles available. Consider pink when shopping for
women's hats or pick up a hat with a logo or saying that will appeal to
your teen golfer. If you are looking for something cool in men's hats,
why not select a hat with your favorite team logo or name?
With so
many golfers using golf hats, they make great promotional items! Your

Pointy Toe Kitten Heels - This Season's Choice to Show Fashion Style and Sexiness
Thursday, August 30, 2012 Posted by Unknown at 10:46 PM
No women can escape the temptation of high heels. Though wearing
this kind of footwear means the endless pains in feet at the end of the
day, most women still prefer to suffer the pains rather than throw away
these feet killing shoes. One biggest reason why women are so obsessed
with the heels is that this kind of footwear can greatly boost women's
feminine charm and add extra sexiness to their style. However, with the
comeback of kitten heels, especially the pointed-toe style, there is an
opportunity for women to avoid the pains but still obtain the sexiness
and style that they always lust for.
Usually,
kitten heels feature the slender low heels from 1.5 inches to 2 inches
high. In fact, this kind of heels has been rather popular in the 50s and
60s and many Hollywood movie stars and celebrities at that time were
crazy about the kind of shoes. There are many different styles and
designs that can be seen in kitten heels. For those tall women who want
to have the sex appeal of high heels, but don't need too much added
height, kitten heels are definitely the best options.
In the
market, you can find various designs of the shoes, but among so many
options, you can't miss red pointy toe type, animal print pointy toe
style and of course the classic black ones. Red types, without doubt,
can add more sex appeal to your style. Every girl needs at least one
pair of red shoes to complete the wardrobe. Black types can be worn for
both work and after-work activities and they won't go out of style
easily because of the classic design and timeless quality. As to animal
print types, they are the most popular styles this season. If you want
to look trendy and stylish, you shouldn't miss animal prints.
No
matter what kind of kitten heels you are going to choose, wearing
pointed-toe kitten heels can surely endow you with the mix of retro
elegance and irresistible attraction which is rare to see in other kinds
of heels.
Gay Men's Influence on Fashion, Style and Popular Culture
Posted by Unknown at 12:38 AM
Popular culture is constantly evolving. There are many influences
on what is considered fashionable and stylish at any one time. Some
tend to dominate, however. And one growing trend is the effect of gay
male sensibilities on many aspects of mainstream culture including
films, television and fashion. No longer on the margins of mainstream
culture, gay men are often making its rules.
Take the breakout show Queer Eye for the Straight Guy.
This entertaining television program took the (often true!) stereotype
of gay males being more fashion conscious, cultured and aesthetically
adept than straight males and made it the central idea. These witty gay
men ran amock, giving advice to clueless straight guys on everything
from their choice of swimwear to their behavior with the opposite sex.
The show was a huge hit in the USA and globally, and even spawned
localized versions in different countries.
There are other, more
general examples. Take the gay ideal of masculinity, which has a focus
on good grooming and physical fitness. While gay male icons are often
Adonis like, their heterosexual counterparts have long been able to get
away with being less than fit and sometimes downright slobby. But this
seems to have changed in recent years.
A couple of recent "sword and sandal" epics illustrate this well. In Troy,
both main stars (Brad Pitt and Eric Bana) were fitter, stronger and
more muscular than in any of their previous roles. A similar look was
required for the movie 300 about Spartan warriors. All of the
principal actors, as well as the extras, had clearly spent a lot of time
at the gym. The star, Gerard Butler, followed a punishing training
regime for four months prior to filming, often working out with a well
known body builder.
One wonders how many of the original Spartans
would have looked so buffed. They certainly didn't have the benefit of
digital blood sugar monitors, isometric gym equipment, protein bars and
all the rest. (Though they would have been far more lethal, of course!)
Compare these films with the Roman epics of the fifties and sixties. In films such as Ben Hur and Spartacus
physical perfection was not nearly as important. Stars such as Tony
Curtis, Kirk Douglas and Charlton Heston were certainly fit, but hardly
the perfect physical specimens we've seen parading across the screen
lately.
The evolving character of James Bond is another case in
point. Sean Connery, the original movie Bond, was a masculine icon. He
had an imposing physique and was hairy chested. He certainly wasn't
overweight, but he wasn't toned either. While he did get around in his
swimming trunks in at least one film, this was as much to serve the plot
as it was to give the women something to ogle.
Then there was
Roger Moore. While he was dapper and stylish, he was not very athletic.
He was most comfortable in a suit, and seemed to have an aversion to
swimwear.
The latest Bond, Daniel Craig, is more fit and muscular
than any of his predecessors. He's probably been training with Gerard
Butler! In one purely ornamental scene in Casino Royale he rises
from the surf to display his (hairless) barrel chest and washboard
stomach. Needless to say, when dressed he's always wearing the most
stylish attire.
It's interesting that these are all big budget
movies that are made appeal to a broad demographic. They are guy films;
not gay films. Yet the action men in them look fit, sleek and often
fashionable while killing all the bad guys. While the rising influence
of gay male aesthetics isn't the only reason for this phenomenon, it is
certainly a major factor.
Laptop Bags Provide You With Both Convenience and Fashion Style
Tuesday, August 28, 2012 Posted by Unknown at 11:06 PM
A portable laptop needs a quality protective case to make sure
that people can carry it wherever they go. Usually, when people are
buying a laptop, they will also purchase such a laptop accessory as a
must-have item which can provide convenience and protection against
scratches or other potential damages to their new gadget. In the market,
you can always find many different types of laptop bags, thus it is
necessary for you to be informed of how to buy the best one.
In
terms of the style, the most common style goes to messenger style,
which resembles the style of classic messenger bags. This kind of bags
can be carried either in hand or on shoulder. On the other hand, except
for laptops, you can also put some documents or files in a messenger
laptop bag, which, in this way, can be employed as a professional
accessory. Backpacks are another popular type that favored by many
people. You can simply use them as the backpacks to carry books or
files. This type of laptop bags is designed with an included laptop
sleeve which can increase the security and safety of the laptop. The
sufficient storage space and the adjustable shoulder straps can provide
an easy and secure way to carry your laptop. For professional
businessmen, they usually prefer to choose briefcase style laptop bags.
To choose such a bag, sufficient storage space, adjustable shoulder
straps and plenty organized inner compartments are the basic elements
you need to consider. Besides, the weight of the bag is also an
important factor that matters a lot for businessmen who travel
frequently.
Apart from the style, you should also take the size,
material and color into consideration. Usually, the size should agree
with the size of your laptop. As to the material, leather, of course, is
your best choice. The color you are going to choose should keep in line
with your skin color tone. In a word, the laptop bags are useful not
only in a way of providing practical functions but also expressing your
fashion statement.
The More Things Change The More They Stay The Same With High School Fashion Styles
Saturday, August 18, 2012 Posted by Unknown at 11:04 PM
Value is hot! Most of us will look for deals like shopping at J.C.
Penny, Kohl's and department stores that have value And name brands. We
all "grow up" during high school (well most of us). High school
fashions today declare who we are while we are. We are honing our
socialization skills and finding what fashions reflect who we are. This
is why there are various looks that high school students have. We've
included just a few:
Most
of us think by merely donning the varsity team jacket will somehow
transform our look into "jock mode." However this does not hide our
poor fashion sense or lack there of and neither do large letters and
colors of the high school. The ultimate way to key into the Jock Look is
by going out for a school sport and making the team and earning the
right to wear that jacket. And by sport and team I am not referring to
the varsity chess team.
We all remember the geeks and nerds don't
we, and some of them were actually us. Usually none by their "un-cool"
clothing these prodigies are usually so engulfed with numerous projects
that they could care less about what they wear. As with all changes in
fashion trends, actually having geeky clothing isn't necessarily a bad
thing. Let's face it, geeks and nerds are thriving because of the fact
that everyone has a computer. Do you recall when role playing gamers
were known to be Satan worshippers? Well today some of them are none as
world class cyber athletes. This high school fashion can be scored by
being preoccupied with solving the problems of the universe and by
wearing a shirt with a witty saying or technological jargon a face it.
While
this high school fashion is popular among fans of rock bands making a
statement is a definite plus with those we call, "rockers". These are
usually shirts that make statements or shirts featuring their favorite
band. This fashion usually includes a ton of trinkets and studded
bracelets or a tribal necklace. With this high school fashion you need
to take on the "appropriate" attitude to go with it. Being passionate
about music is of course essential and having an IPOD or headphones will
cinch the look. For the guarantee of turning girls heads a pair of
drumsticks or a guitar case will do the trick as well.
Most of us
think of BLACK when referring to the Goth fashion of high school
clothing. Whether fortunately or not this is not just a high school
fashion it is used by numerous people who wish to make statements of
sorrow. The accessories are the key really; such as, black eyeliner and
lipstick. Don't be swain by thinking these Goths are dressing as such to
show their individuality; more or less this form of dress is more
commonly done to be included in a group and sort of blend in with people
who want to show that they belong.
The toughest fashion look to
maintain as you must always stay atop the latest high fashions racing
from store to store to obtain the first best outfit ever. Well you also
have to know what is "cool" and what is definitely "not cool". And as a
true fashionista, you must launch the highest standard of high school
fashion.
Bikini Waxing Styles - Waxing Trends and Fashion Styles
Wednesday, August 15, 2012 Posted by Unknown at 11:01 PM
What we do about our body hair changes with the trends and
fashion just like the length of our skirts. The seventies, it was way
cool to just leave your hair natural. If you had a lot of pubic hair, so
be it. It was considered sexy. Now, though, it is becoming more
fashionable to have less hair - less on your bikini area, especially.
And not only is it more common to get rid of hair, there are now several
acceptable bikini waxing styles - waxing trends and fashions - from
which to choose.
You
can choose to keep most of your pubic hair and simply wax the hair that
grows beyond the part of your body that is covered with your bikini
bottom. This is, of course, the easiest, quickest, and least painful
bikini waxing style.
You can also choose to keep just a small
strip of hair running right up the middle of your triangular private
area. This simply involves waxing more of the area. Because you are
getting into a more sensitive area, this can be a bit more uncomfortable
than just waxing the bikini line.
You can also choose a Brazilian
wax. The Brazilian waxing trend and fashion is becoming more and more
common; it's always been common in Brazil - hence the name - but lots of
American women are opting for this, too. A Brazilian wax is the bikini
waxing style that removes all the pubic hair. You can get it done at a
salon or do it yourself with a kit you can buy at the drugstore.
Probably
the most interesting bikini waxing trend and fashion, though, is
creating designs in the pubic hair area. You can get a template of a
simple design such as a heart and either wax only the heart shape or wax
every bit of hair except the heart shape. If you wax the hart itself,
you will have a heart in the middle of your hair. If you wax the rest of
the hair, you will have a little heart hair and no other hair in the
bikini area.

How to Keep Up With New Fashion Style Without Breaking the Bank
Tuesday, July 31, 2012 Posted by Unknown at 10:53 PM
Sure, the most style conscious among us want to sail through the
seasons in all of the new fashion styles. But purchasing a new wardrobe
twice a year is a luxury that few of us can afford. Is there a solution
to this trendsetting dilemma? Of course there is, as long as you know
how to shop smarter instead of shopping more. With some retail savvy and
a bit of patience, you can have new fashion style in your closet every
season at a fraction of the money that you may be thinking you will have
to spend.
Don't
Buy Clothing as Soon as it Appears Retailers will bank on the fact that
many women will pay full price for a new fashion style just to get the
best selection or be the first woman on the block to flaunt it. This
does not have to be you! With a bit of patience, you will soon see that
must have tunic that will look just perfect with your favorite jeans at
30-50% off. Wait even longer, and you may find a coupon in the circular
in the Sunday paper for an additional percentage off. Wait an additional
month or two, and that adorable tunic will be offered at a clearance
price that you are sure to afford.
Don't Spend more on Trendy
Items There are plenty of places to shop for the new fashion style.
Upper end boutiques and department stores will offer the latest crazes
with a high price tag. Average department stores will offer similarly
trendy merchandise for a much lower price. Discount house will provide
comparable items for the best price of all. When it comes to new fashion
style, spend less on the really trendy items that will only work for
one or two seasons. This leaves money in your clothing budget to spend
more on classic pieces like the wool blazer or black riding boots that
will be able to get you through multiple seasons in style and quality.
Shop
Online There are some great bargains on new fashion style online.
Whether you are into hip hop or urban fashion trends, you can find great
selection and prices at many retailers on the Internet. These virtual
stores usually have sales and clearance events just like the department
stores in the mall. And you don't have to leave home and fight the
crowds to check out the new fashion style. The disadvantage to this
method is that you can't try items on prior to purchase.
Keeping
up with new fashion style can be a lot of fun, and now it can be
economical as well. With these tips, you can look up to the minute
without breaking the bank.

smile because of the clothes, and accessories appear to be their
mother's vintage. This time, the world's hottest catwalks present
various granny-chic styles as a trend for autumn and winter 2010.
What
is distinctive of a grandmother? Glasses, it helps the already blurred
vision. You will need oldies-style glasses to look like grandma; one
with width and thick-rimmed, black or brown. Furthermore, you will need a
tote bag. Tote bag with floral or other vintage motif and soft colors,
not too flashy style, is well suited to accompany your style. Choose a
tote bag which has a simple model and still the typical old style. The
more modern design would eliminate the impression of granny chic.

choose a classic pencil skirt or A-line skirt with natural colors. All
these high-waist skirt are seldom subordinate to the elderly who

impression. Like the skirt, select a blouse with soft colors, simple
design and high cut collar. Say good bye to the deep V-neck collar and
piece of other modifications. You can choose the accented modern blouse

Finally, choose accessories that are not too big, just
small to medium sized; simple but beautiful enough to be admired! Avoid
contemporary and modern design, of course. Remember, a grandmother
usually does not use an excessive amount of accessories. A pair of
earrings, one to two rings, necklaces and bracelets and a watch is
enough. You can be stylish with granny chic if you are creative in mix
and match.

Fashion Style Guide For Men
Friday, July 6, 2012 Posted by Unknown at 10:37 PM
I'm sure you've noticed that all over magazines, TV and the
internet lately, the focus is on fall, fall, fall. We're starting to
think about football, Thanksgiving and all of the other terrific things
that autumn brings. This also means that you should start to think about
transitioning the items in your closet. Although the weather may not
yet feel cooler in your corner of the country, it will get there soon.
And you will want to be ready to approach the season in style.
When
it comes to men's fashion, the area where a lot of men fall short is in
assembling a wardrobe with variety. You'll notice that any time a male
celebrity is cited in the news for his great style, he has a visually
interesting, varied, and often colorful outfit. In putting together a
stylish wardrobe, you'll need to include elements of color, pattern and
texture.
If you are one who normally has a difficult time
assembling a wardrobe that you feel good in, start from the bottom and
work up. It can be a lot less intimidating to shop for shoes than other
items of clothing, such as pants and suits. Plus, depending on what
types of shoes you prefer, this can help to dictate the rest of your
stylish look.
A great shoe style for fall of 2011 is a brown suede
or leather derby shoe. This is shoe style is truly classic, and can
easily be dressed up or down. A good suede shoe will also add the
crucial element of texture to your outfit. Now, continue to build up.
Your wardrobe of pants should include dark wash denim, flat front
khakis, and corduroys. Cord is an excellent fabric for fall, and can be
found in all sorts of interesting colors. Don't be afraid to try
something different, such as olive green, burnt orange, plum, or
mustard. This would, of course, bring in your element of color.
Now
for your top half, an excellent and stylish look for fall is to dress
in layers. A look that is great for this fall is to layer a cardigan
sweater over a button down shirt or a ribbed cotton tee shirt. Are you
cringing at the word "cardigan" because it makes you think of Mr.
Rogers? Just look for a cardigan that fits snuggly and isn't bulky to
avoid looking dated. If you find a material, whether it is cotton or
wool, that bulges, place the sweater back on the shelf and keep looking.
If you are more of a jacket person, look for a cotton and wool sports
jacket, and a great faux or real leather jacket in a shade of brown,
camel, or reddish brown. These are staples that can be layered over
nearly any outfit.
As you shop for shirts, resist the urge to buy
the same plain tee shirt in a whole stack of different colors. Your
shirt wardrobe definitely needs variety. Plus, ties are an essential for
a stylish wardrobe, and you can't try out a variety of interesting tie
knotsif all you wear is tee shirts. Don't be afraid to wear a patterned
dress shirt with a tie of a different pattern. It will work as long as
the patterns are in the same color family. This goes for patterns such
as paisley and stripes; Glen-Plaid and polka dots; and even polka dots
and stripes, which was traditionally thought of as a faux pas. Just
anchor the look with neutral pants and perhaps a neutral colored jacket.
If you prefer to use pattern in a more subtle way, stick to just one
patterned element, such as an argyle scarf looped around your neck.
Remember,
the key to building a stylish wardrobe is to include color, pattern,
and texture. Don't be afraid to experiment with new fabrics and looks
this fall.
The Fashion Style That's Right for Your Body Type
Thursday, July 5, 2012 Posted by Unknown at 10:34 PM
Women have different body types and because of this, women
require a different fashion style for each type. Sometimes it could be
quite daunting to go shopping and not really know what clothes are best
for you. Below are tips for you to follow about the best kind of clothes
that's right for your body type.
Petite
women are those with heights up to 5 feet 4 inches. If you're in this
category, the best strategy for you is to find clothes that would
elongate your whole frame. As much as possible, you have to try to stick
to using one color or at least clothes with the same hue from top to
bottom. This would help make you appear taller.
Also shop at
petite sections, because wearing clothes that are too long or too big
for you will make you appear shorter and smaller than you are. Having
clothes that fit will is one of the most important things to remember
when choosing a fashion style. And of course, as you need to look
taller, wearing heels is never a bad idea.
For tall and slim
women, it is a good idea to make sure you don't wear pants that are too
short for you. It makes you look bigger than you really are. Also, being
tall and slim, creating curves is one of your goals. Wearing blouses
with ruffles and frills will produce an illusion of a curvier body.
Your
top should be just at the level of the waist and you should wear
jackets to break off the length of the body. You should also go for
belts, particularly colorful ones to emphasize your waistline and give
you an hourglass shape. And try not to wear V-necks as they tend to
elongate the body.
For women who are plus-sized, it is important
to remember that the clothes you wear should be just the right fit.
Wearing clothes that are too loose will make you look even bigger, and
wearing clothes that are too tight will emphasize the "bulges" that you
don't want to direct attention to.
Straight leg jeans are great as
they make your legs longer and slimmer. Your top should not be too
long. It should just be below your waistline. Also, V-necks or scoop
tops help elongate the body, giving it a slimmer look.
When
looking for a fashion style that is good for you, you must always
consider the different factors that can affect the way your clothes will
look on you. Of course you must always dress for comfort, but you
should aim to dress for confidence as well.
How to Differentiate Between Good Styling Courses and the Rest
Tuesday, July 3, 2012 Posted by Unknown at 10:32 PM
There are many courses offered by numerous styling institutes and
each of these institutes claims to be the best. However, good styling
courses have certain characteristics that make them stand out from the
rest of the courses. Listed below are a few such characteristics and
some facts that will help you understand which courses are worth
enrolling for.
Short and Sweet
Most people believe that god courses have to be lengthy in order for the student to learn the most and grasp content. These people fail to understand that short courses are better than lengthier ones mainly because short courses cover the important points and do not have repetition of content. Short styling courses allow students to learn what is needed and they also allow students to get the required training in 3 days or so.
Support and Mentoring
Good styling courses offer mentoring and support while the training lasts and even after the students have completed the curriculum. Good ones ensure that students have someone to turn to, when they have questions, doubts or any queries regarding styling. Good courses do not believe in cutting off students once the course has been completed and once the certificates have been handed out.
Flexible and Versatile
The best courses offered in this industry and flexible and versatile which means that the course timings may be flexible and the students are taught many things to help them in their career. The best courses believe in empowering students and allowing them to grow as stylists while teaching them the principles of hair styling, makeup and other aspects of grooming.
Confidence and Exposure
Good courses allow students to get the required exposure and to gain confidence while learning styling. The best styling courses also teach students how to help clients feel confident by making them look and feel good at all times. Good courses may also teach the student how to multi-task when required in order to get work done, however good courses do not believe in overwhelming students with making them do too many tasks at once.
Online Vs. Hands on Experience
Although it is possible to find good beauty and make up courses online, the courses offered online may not offer hands on experience which is a must in the fashion industry. The best styling courses usually offer hands on experience in saloons or training centres since these courses are meant to help students understand how to work with a client rather than only providing theoretical knowledge.
