In-Style Looks For 2010

Tagged Under : , , ,

Fashion is never an easy thing to put your finger on; how do you know what’s in style and what’s not? Most of the time, people will just go with whatever trends are spearheaded by the major highstreet chains, such as River Island and Topshop. Whilst it can be tough to stay away from out-of-style clothing, it’s even tougher if you’re trying to push your own sense of style over the summer months.

 

So with that in mind, here are two or three hot looks for the summer that should set you apart.

 

There seems to be a big trend, particularly amongst catwalks, models and designers, for sports-orientated fashion this summer.
The sports look isn’t the only one in style either; both the tomboy and the casual look are on their way in, so it will be these three we’re going to look at.

 

Combining the three trends seems like a popular theme, so flip flops seem like an excellent choice. You should get coloured flip flops that compliment your outfit, then combine them with something casual but feminine (cut off denim jeans could work) and you’re bang on style for the summer.
You should go for branded flip flops rather that cheaper generic ones; this will add to the look and trust me, they’ll last you far longer. Billabong have a extremely strong collection of stylish pairs, start with them, Roxy or Animal and you can’t go wrong.

 

The tomboy look is extremely in-style this summer; particularly when it’s mixed with some ultra-feminine elements. Try crop-tops with football-esque shoulders, skate shoes or high heels (depending on your preference) and shorts, preferably with your hair up.

 

The sports look is another hot look this season, with the two most prominent looks centering around cricket and golf. Go for sports stripes and classic sports colours; cricket tops are great for achieving the sports look whilst still showing enough flesh and curves to look ultra-feminine.

Tips On Achieving An Elegant Look Without Spending A Lot

Tagged Under : , ,

There’s a fine line between looking elegant and looking overdone. When buying your wardrobe, it’s better to go for quality over quantity. You can simply mix and match them to achieve a different, classy look each time. And no one will know you only got a few items in your closet. Don’t attempt to showcase all your nice pieces all at the same time. Unless you wish to look like you’re sporting blankets.

There’s a reason why classic jewelry pieces are called like that, as they never go out of style. Plus they can go well with both casual and elegant looks. Your jewelry box should carry modest-sized pearl earrings, necklaces with unfussy pendants, and simple bangles. And it doesn’t hurt to have one or two elegant timepieces as well. If you make loud, rattling sound as you walk, it’s a sign to go easy on accessories.

When it comes to makeup, you only need basic ones. It’s useless to buy tons of expensive makeup kits that you won’t really be using. That is, unless you wish to look like a clown. Laying on thick makeup doesn’t necessarily equate to glamour and red carpet. Go for a simple and natural look, and pick colors that match your skin complexion well.

Generally speaking, heeled shoes look more elegant than flat ones. It’s better to buy a few pairs of pumps that are high-quality than purchasing lots of it but get worn out easily. Go for safe, neutral colors that will look great on just about any apparel. It also doesn’t hurt to have a pair of brown boot which never goes out of style.

Invest in high-quality handbags that go well with your shoes. It’s better to go for ones with neutral colors, as they never go out of style. Pick those that are neither too large nor too small. For instance, go for medium-sized tote handbags rather than large ones that’ll make you look weighed down. Other than looking fashionable, you should also go for function and comfort.

Fashion magazines will give you tons of ideas if you feel lost at times. However, it doesn’t mean you should exactly copy what you see in the pages. Use them to jumpstart the kind of look you can achieve with what you got in your closet. You can make an ‘in’ look your own by adding your personality into it.

Last but definitely not least, always let your confidence shine through. Never be afraid to showcase a pleasing personality when necessary. No matter how simple your getup is, giving off positive vibes will make it look so elegant and timeless. Beauty on the outside is nothing without beauty emanating from the inside.
