Bags for your Style

Bags

One of the most important accessories in everyone’s wardrobe are Bags. Your fashion clothing is not complete without it. Since it function not only as an accessory, It is sometimes hard to pick the right one.

You should know what purpose it serves and where you want to use it. Decide whether you need it more as an accessory or as something useful outside the scope of aesthetics. The difference between the two is mostly in size. If you need a bag as an accessory you should pick a smaller one and it should be noticeable. If your bag serves the lone purpose of carrying things, which you need for your job or studies, it should be bigger, more comfortable and simpler.

Match your bag to your style. Bags also go out of fashion, so if you want to look trendy, you should buy at least one new bag every year. No matter what style you prefer, you can always find something that fits for you and trendy at the same time.

Check the color of the bag. Keep in mind that you’ll wear it daily so it has to go fitted with the majority of your clothes and shoes.

The smaller the better. Remember this rule while choosing a bag as an accessory more than as a thing for carrying. As you know small handbags are very elegant and can make for a very nice hint of style. Nothing can replace a small black handbag, with small jewels if you want to give off an effect of a luxurious and elegant woman.

Apply the same rules too when it comes to bags for men. As I said before, know first what you are going to use it for. The small one is even easier because it doesn’t have to perfectly fit your style, because usually they go perfectly with anything. You can pair it to any preppy clothes you want for example is the Polo Ralph Lauren.

When you define its use just match it with your style. Don’t forget to check out the colors of your wardrobe or you’ll have to purchase a number of them instead of having one that fits your wardrobe perfectly.

Flip-Flops

Flip flop the timeless footwear

Flip-flops is the rubber soled thong sandals known as jandals or slippers in some other cultures. It existed 6,000 years ago, although the common term “flip flop” associated to them is of recent lineage, and is actually a trademark term owned by a German company who introduced them in their product line. The pioneer to the modern flip flop dates back to ancient cultures, the Egyptians wore these thong shoes as a symbol of royalty and privilege, with some women embellish their particular sandals with jewels and Pharaohs wearing a style of the sandals that were turned up slightly more than those worn by the common man. The description of this footwear can be found in ancient Egyptian cave paintings. Flip flop in most of the early cultures was a symbol of nobility and position in society.

Given the status given to these ancient footwear, it might be considered that only the finest materials were always used, but this was not always the conditin with these sandals worn throughout history. Today, flip flops are usually made of rubber construction, various cultures created flip flops using different materials like papyrus, palm leaves, rice, raw hide, canvas and wood, to name a few. The materials used were simply a continuation of the culture’s available textile and agricultural supply. Papyrus was most likely to use in Egypt while Rome would use leather to create sturdy flip flops that military generals could wear. More on to social status, flip flops give an extra protection and a defense against diseases easily transfer through contact with the soil.

The main design of a flip flop stayed the same it is a flat footed sandal with one strap around one of the toes-there were variations on the basic theme. Some ancient cultures put the strap around the big toe while others used the second or the middle toe. The Japanese developed a form of the sandal called the “Zori” and they used in teaching children how to walk. Modern forms of this woven flip flop appeared on the beaches of New Zealand in the early 20th century.

Zoris continued in top as a main influence for introducing flip flops into common culture, started in World War II when soldiers brought them back as keepsakes, and then after the Korean War when rubber versions of the sandals were brought back by soldiers as well. From that time in the 1950’s on, flip flops became part of the rage in popular culture as their construction and durability made them usable as common footwear.

Flip flops entered popular culture and everyone was seen sporting these cheap styles of footwear, not mentioning the personal status in society. In California, flip flops common on the beaches and as more and more people wore them eventually the flip flop trend spread across the nation. They continued as a largely informal style of footwear worn by everyone, and because of their simple construction proved to be ideal for people in developing countries.

Like blue jeans, which started out as informal clothing worn in public and constantly attracted the attention in designer clothing, flip flops have developed into fashion statements of their own. Dressier versions of the sandals such as the British Havaianas have some gold studded versions of the footwear, and other styles are made of leather and suede and are decked with jewels. Hollywood’s stars and supermodels have been known to wear these dressier, more expensive versions to premier events and there are also flip flops created for men, and those for brides to be as well. Flip flops are a versatile and durable form of footwear that are here to stay. In fact you can pair it to any casual clothes for instance is the Polo Ralph Lauren.

Flip flops will be always on trend in one way or another. They can be either informal or formal accessories, depending upon the occasion, and are suited for people in all classes of society. It is all up to you whether you decide to use them as expensive fashion statements or just to flop around the house.

In addition, if your manicure and pedicure don’t suit your style, it can ruin your image than helping you look stylish. And you can’t be a real fashion follower if you don’t care about your nails.

Pedicure

For a couple of seasons long nails were considered to be very feminine, but this trend is so common right now. If you want to be trendy you’ll need to trim your nails to be more subtle. The latest trend is to be classic! Choose brown and red colors to look elegant. The classic red is good, but it’s not for everyone. If it doesn’t fit your style, try on every other shade and make sure that it suits you.

Most celebrities chose black nail polish; but you can try dark blue this too. And if you are into this color, choose it shiny and daring. If it is not your type, try on other blues: frosty, shiny, pale, but bright. Also avoid picking the less vivid tones.

Manicure

Shiny decorations and Swarovski crystals on your nails will make a nice effect. If none of these styles attracts you, then you must be a nail art addict. Abstract designs are the most fashionable and animal skin pictures keep their position as well. Paint your nails with simple lines and curved shapes to march in step with fashion

Modern Comfort

Looking good, is not enough but also in wearing clothes where you can be comfortable too. If possible, clean out your closet and start to rebuild your wardrobe. Keep only the clothes that fit you, and pull out everything else that became a little tight.

Break the Rules

Fashion is all about style and don’t do it for status symbol, age, or size. You can just switch your accessories and shoes to change your look. But in the process, you can break a few rules such as matching a silk skirt with a denim jacket, or wearing cashmere and white jackets all year-round. Because this will add up some spice in your personality.

Emphasizing Silhouettes

Sable Fur

sable fur

Precious things like diamonds are passion objects of women. And fur is one of these precious items. Its elegant and wild natural beauty never fail to attract women and the beauty of a woman in a fur coat attracts men. Sable is the king of furs with its alluring charm and preciousness become the symbol of aristocracy and nobility.

It is difficult to find the best quality, real fur. We can compare it to most valuable gems. Marten is one of the most sold fur and it is also called as American sable. The origin of the real sable is Russia and sable quality cannot be compared with marten. Then if you decide to buy a sable fur, you must consult to a fur specialist to own a real Russian sable and you should purchase it from a very reliable furrier. The truth is, only few fortunate wealthy people have best quality original sable furs in the world. So that a sable is just a dream for most of the women just like wearing the most popular designer clothing such as Polo Ralph Lauren.

Sable is the pure luxury, very light weighted fur type with an unbelievably silky touch. The color variation of sable has many choices. There are yellowish brown, dark brown, grayish and black sables. Sometimes the throat part of the sable has a white or silvery patch. The golden look bright yellowish sable is beautiful. A brown sable with a blue cast or a sable with silvery guard hairs have perfect look. But the black sable is eye-catching and alluring. It shines like a ‘black diamond’. The darkest color is the most valuable one. The darkest sable fur is taken in winter and its hair is denser and longer. Each sable has its own uniqueness and destinction, their hair density, thickness and the quality of touch varies from one fur to another as well as their colors and shades. This makes each sable garment a unique piece.

Way back in time, fur was worn only by royal family and was presented to some world leaders and queens as admired gifts and has been symbol of privileged, noble class. Nowadays, only wealthy people or some world stars like Madonna have sable on their shoulders and only top designers of fashion clothing like Chanel or Ferre dare to use it in their collections. Generally, sable is a combination of high quality fabrics and used for small pieces giving an aristocratic look, such as stoles or for trimming. Very few people can wear an elite design but also very few people in the world can make it a perfect garment. The tender skin needs skillful and experienced hands to be created as it needs a wealthy owner. Precious skins become masterpieces of art in the hands of the experts more than a garment.

Men’s Footwear

It is frequently said that men do not take care of their footwear and as a result it looks messy.

But the truth is there are plenty of men whose shoes look amazing: they are carefully selected to suit the garments and as clean as it is possible.

On the other hand, many women don’t even know what is fashionable in a certain season and they are completely ignorant of how to choose footwear to create a right image.

We can say that both men and women can be divided into those who are obsessed about shoes and those who don’t matter much what to wear.

Men are often in the latter group and feel good about wearing two or three pairs of shoes for all occasions imaginable.

This is alright, but remember that men should know how to select shoes to look good. Before anything I’d like to give you some basic rules regarding to your shoes.

• Pick the shoes that suit or are a more darker than your pants.
• Socks are just items that can bring the whole outfit together.
• Match your shoes to your belt.

These are the must have shoes that you must include in your clothing.

Work Shoes

Type of your shoes depends on the type of your job.

Work shoes

If you work outdoors pick something more casual and comfortable. Work shoes or boots should be tough and of high quality so you are not afraid they can fall apart during the workday.

Dress Shoes

They must be like the ones you might wear with a suit. Pick luster materials, less bulky heels and soles.

Dress shoes

Be sure to perfectly match your dress shoes to your pants, shirt, and jacket. You can pair it to any designer clothes such as Polo Ralph Lauren, etc.

If your clothing is gray, black, or blue, go for black or dark gray shoes. Earth-toned clothing goes well with brown or tan dress shoes.

Casual Shoes

This are more comfortable than sneakers.

Think of loafers, chinos, khakis or lace-up shoes in black or brown, which are versatile and can match up with most outfits.

Casual Shoes

A tassle and a buckle are more on the dressy side, compare to woven pattern or heavy stitching that is on the casual side.

Shoes for Jeans

Most of color and style of shoe can be match with jeans, but don’t wear shiny shoes because they are designed for more dressier clothing.

Shoes for jeans

Boots, lug soles, sneakers, loafers and sandals work great with jeans. Your shirt is to guide you in choosing the shoe style for the jeans. For example, a sporty, polo shirt from Polo Ralph Lauren will work with a loafer; t-shirts lis perfect with sneakers and retro-style shoes; long, artsy button-downs is best with sandals and oxford styles.

Athletic Shoes

With men’s great passion with sports and healthy lifestyle owning athletic shoes is important. Comfortable and supportive are perfect athletic shoes for men.

Athletic shoes

Pick the shoes that are designed for the type of activity you do. For instance, don’t wear basketball shoes if you are running or jogging.

Shoes must be attentively chosen as they reflect your image. You may wear best attires but if your shoes are bad, the whole impression is ruined. So, pay more attention to your footwear and all women’s attention will absolutely be drawn to you!

Burkini and Sharia swimsuit

Burkini or Burqini

Designed by Lebanese Austrialian designer Aheda Zanetti under the designer clothes company name Ahiida. This swimsuit covers the whole body except the face, hands and feet in respect with Muslim views on modesty. It is a full-length swimwear with a hood attached in it, the only difference is more looser and made of swimsuit material. It is being calle as the perfect Muslim/Islamic swimwear solution for Muslim women who like to swim but demur about “flesh exposing” bathing suits.

The Burkini is also designed to fit Islamic values and for active Muslim women who likes to swim in public areas or water sports. It’s goal is to enhance athletic performance and allows maximum movement while in or out of water. It also protects the skin from harmful UV rays.

The polyester, nylon and lycra material helps for flexible movement in water and does not hang to the woman’s body when she exits water.

The suits now being made are very trendy in conservative Muslim countries like Indonesia and Malaysia as well. They don’t absorb water and are very light and thin, so they’re safe and very comfortable. For many Muslim women, these suits act as an alternative to regular clothes weared when swimming.

Commando type

It is actually sexy for it emphasize just a little bit of bottom without being too obvious, it covers more than a thong, but at the same time it is more sensual.

Another style is the regular brief in women’s panties, choose the more stretchy and seamless type for added comfort and more coverage. It has a full seat and you may choose between a low rise and a high rise, which will come all the way up to your natural waistline.

Girdle

The girdle is another type of women’s underwear; these are panties suitable for those women who want to conceal bulges.

Bikini Panty

Bikini panties are ideal for they provide both good support and sex appeal, while string bikini panties are great for skinny women who want to look sexier and feel comfortable.

Thong

Thong type is also a trendy option and can be both stretchy and seamless. The thong comes with a skinny back, and although it may look uneasy to wear you will be amazed that you will the opposite. The Hanky Panky style is the most famous thong type in women’s panties, it is made of stretch lace and it will stretch just as much as you want it to. The size is one size fits all and the lace fits smoothly and nicely across you. The added benefit is that being very elastic and stretchy it will not cut into the skin of your waist, it is very comfortable to wear and sexy with it. The great benefit of wearing a Hanky Panky is that it does not ride up, it fits perfectly in place and you will not feel uncomfortable wearing it even all day long.

G-String

Then comes the g-string, this is a type of women’s underwear which does not have much material to it! This is what you should to be looking for if you really want to look sexy and you do not want panty lines.

Bras and under tops provide full coverage for women with fuller breasts or half-coverage for smaller breasted women who wants to emphasize their cleavage, feel comfortable without to much support.

Padded Bra

Padded bras make your breast look larger, while under-wire bras will push your bust upwards making them look fuller, prominent and younger, but you must consider that they are not comfortable to wear.

Sports Bra

Sports bras and racer back bras will provide you good support, comfort and flexibility for the more active women, while wireless bras are ideal for women who are nursing. And of course seamless bras which look great under hanging tops.

Strapless Bra

Strapless bras have the sexier styles, when you want to wear tank tops or strapless evening dresses and bras with lace for a more sensual look; these come in all colors and with different lacing design.

Undies are important too! You must know that under all those clothing, you still look good. Have the right size undies so you can be comfortable.

Money and Clothes

Preparation is important in purchasing designer clothes.

The significance of purchasing a good made clothes is that it saves your money if done in the right way.

You should get what you pay for. Buy something once and keep It. And fashion is one of those things. Purchasing designer clothing from an investment standpoint is a smart decision.

Save your money

Don’t spend too much money every year on a clothing. You should shop wisely. Decide and categorized the things that you need, versus the things that you want. Consider your lifestyle. Once you know what holes to fill in your closet, make a list and head for your favorite fashion designer boutique and designer clothes online shops.

Synthetics have come a long way, and when used in conjunction with natural fibers they are a godsend. Wool, cotton, silk, and linen make long lasting garments, particularly when a little spandex is added for stretch.Durability needs to be superior to create a good fit. You can always justify spending more for a well fitting shirt, particularly if know you will wear it often.

Manufacturing of a designer clothes will overcome a mass produced item any day. The better the garment is made, the longer it will last. Check the seams, lining, and small details. A well made item will have the pattern matched at the seams to provide continuity.

Ralph Lauren

Designers simply get it and know how a garment should fit. If a clothing fits well, you will wear it often, and it will stand the test of time. I will gladly pay $400 for a pair of classy wool trousers that I will wear for ten years, then $40 bucks for something that barely makes it through the season without stretching or pilling – again, if you get what you pay for, then why buy it numerous times?

Well made designer clothes will stay true to the classic style, and will be well worth the extra you spend. You can always buy low for trendy accents and fashion accessories that get pitched after a year. But you will ultimately save yourself money by considering the important pieces as an investment – suits, shirting, the little black dress, a luxury handbag. If you purchase the right pieces, you can ultimately make them look different season to season by what you pair them with and your individual style.

Know your limitation in purchasing a product.. learn how to spend wisely.
