Wedding Suits

admin

So that special once in a lifetime day is approaching. That’s right; the day two loved ones finally tie the knot and get married. I will be focusing on men’s suits for this article. Now what you wear to the wedding is obviously important, and the dress code changes significantly depending on if it’s a morning or evening ceremony. In either case, whether you’re the groom himself, or attending as a guest to the event, to stand out from the pack trendy wedding suits are the name of the game here.

For morning wear, the classic, aristocratic morning coat is still popular in the UK today, and yes, it can be worn by the guests and not just the lucky groom!

In this picture, wearing a white shirt with a white tie (instead of blue for e.g.) and a distinctive orchid button hole, altogether adds a modern romantic twist to the traditional morning coat.

Garments such as this day collar shirt, waistcoat and morning coat can be customised to your personal taste.
For trousers, a dark ground chalk stripe on a dark grey background or white chalk stripes on a light grey background is perfect for wedding suits, as is a plain dark or charcoal grey colour.

For eveningwear, the dinner range embraces the traditional approach to eveningwear with satin covered lapels and trouser seams. There are some fantastic dinner suits such as the Mistofeelees three-piece suit with a red lining and glossy finish on the blazer.

The Devil’s Detail two-piece dinner suit with a bright red lining is sure to be a head turner.

The Elvis Grey Premiere Jacket is also fitting for an evening wedding reception occasion.

Your Hair Is Truly Your Best Accessory!

If there’s one thing that we don’t think about enough, it’s our hair. After all, it kinda just sits there on top of our heads, keeping our head warm and free from the damaging rays of the sun. Yet there’s more to hair than people give it credit for. There’s nothing wrong with focusing on your hair, and if you look at many style magazines, you’ll actually see that stylists spend a lot of time thinking about the way that the hair looks.

So what does that mean for your own personal style? Well, it means that you might want to think about doing things to your own hair in order to stand out from the crowd. Yet if you’ve never done your own hair, this might be a scary experience. Not to worry — we have you covered.

If you’re looking for simple hairstyles, there’s nothing like a pulled back ponytail or a nice high bun. These are both simple styles but they can be elegant and classy if you really think about it.

Another thing that you will need to consider is that you don’t have to do it on your own. There are indeed many stylists that would love to work with you, so that means that there’s no real need to feel burdened by the possibility of doing things yourself. You will need to make sure that you do have the budget for this type of thing. Many stylists will expect you to at least come back in every two weeks if you want to keep your style looking nice as when you went the first time.

The products you use at home do make a difference as well. If you want shine, you need to use products. If you want to control frizz, you need to use products. If you want to control flyaways, you need to use products. Going to the stylist to get your split ends clipped away will keep your hair healthy, and there’s nothing more pleasant than a nice wash and set.

Overall, your hair is truly your best accessory — enjoy it to the fullest!

Style on a Budget – Not as Hard as You Think

admin

In a perfect world, every woman would have an infinite budget for clothes, shoes, and other accessories that they use to build their own personal style with. However, this world is far from perfect, and that means that there does come a point where you have to set a budget. Some people’s budgets are going to be bigger than other people’s budgets, but there’s nothing wrong with that. Some day, you might have a bigger clothes budget than someone else. So you need to always start thinking in advance about the type of life you really want to lead. Saving money is good, but saving money while still getting to be as stylish as you want is also a good thing.

So now is the time to put it all together — here’s what you can do when you’re trying to be fashionable on a budget.

First and foremost, you should get it out of your head that you have to go with all name brand items. You don’t need to do that. You don’t even need to go with all new clothes. There are many resale shops where the clothes have been gently worn and they can be actually as good looking as the day the person brought them from the store. You can go even cheaper by looking at thrift stores where the clothes have probably been worn many times and thus might be a bit more well worn.

Don’t forget going online to places like eBay where you can get great clothes at rock bottom prices. Some people like to search for the name of their favorite clothing store and find their size in eBay auctions — this is another way to get clothes from your favorite store at a price that’s almost too good to be true. Of course, you will want to make sure that you are checking out the seller’s reputation.

Now is the time to save money and look stylish at the same time — truly a win-win situation!

Solid Colors Don’t Have to Be Boring!

admin

If you’re thinking about getting into the world of fashion more, you’re going to need to start by understanding the fundamentals. That doesn’t mean that you’re stupid or that you’re never going to be stylish. But far too often people jump the gun and find that they really do need to step back and look at different aspects of the field a bit more than they do. So one of the first things we’ll cover today has to be solid colors.

Solid colors don’t have to be boring. If you’re always turning to prints, you have to ask yourself if you’re just unskilled at making solid colors work for you. You should let yourself play with some materials so that you know what you’re getting into, and then you should also think about the type of lifestyle look that you want to build. Do you want to go for classic style, or modern style? Do you have a celebrity whose style that you would like to emulate? These are all questions that you need to ask yourself when you’re trying on solid colors.

What are you favorite colors, anyway? That’s another question that you’ll need to consider. Yes, we’re asking you a lot of questions but there’s definitely a reason behind that. We want you to always feel like you’re going to get what you want, when you want it. Isn’t that the basis of all good fashion?

Make sure that you really do give yourself the chance to answer those questions. Once you have an idea of what colors you like and what colors work well for you, then it’s just a matter of experimenting. That’s really what the top fashion people do — they experiment until they find what they like, then everything is just a matter of getting that style over and over again. Start today!

Quick Fashion Tips For the Office Set

admin

One of the biggest questions that people have when it comes to raising their fashion is that they wonder what to do at work. If you work in an office, then chances are good that you have a dress code. The dress code isn’t there to cramp your style — on the contrary, it’s there to make sure that you look as good as possible. You should think positive and see the office dress code as an opportunity to really focus on getting high style without breaking your budget.

If you’re not sure what your office dress code is, look it up. Usually as long as you look presentable and conservative, there’s nothing that says that you can’t wear something dressy to work. Just because other people might not be dressing the way you are, doesn’t necessarily mean that you’re out of line in terms of dress code. You just have to make sure that you’re thinking things through and acting accordingly.

So what do you need to do from here? Well, you will want to make sure that you are handling your style the right way. This means that you want to focus on nice solid colors, but they don’t necessarily have to be all dark colors. A nice white blouse that’s well fitted against a light gray skirt is classic and stylish, but who says that you can’t throw on a red scarf?

Headgear is something that most offices will not let you wear in the building unless it’s related to your religion. So you have to make sure that you save the hat for the after office party or the lunch time gossip round in the restaurant down the street.

Look at some style guides online about office wear and see what everyone else is wearing. It’ll give you a lot of ideas to use when you go to do your own office style!

Makeup and Fashion – A True Pair?

admin

Fashion is something that we all know about. We want to look good from head to toe, and we want to be seen. However, when it comes to stepping out in public, we forget that our faces are just as much on display as our bodies are. This means that you’re going to need to actually do things to make sure that you’re looking good.

The truth of the matter is that makeup and fashion have gone hand in hand for a long time, much to the dismay of feminists that think that makeup is a bad thing for women. The focus on having a “made up face” can be difficult to deal with, but nobody is saying that you have to wear makeup. In fact, if you would rather walk around with a bare makeup with not even a hint of lipstick, that’s your choice. However, the street here is a two-way one. It’s just as nice to have makeup as it is not to have it.

Be sure that you’re thinking about all of your options when it’s time to develop your own style. There might be times where you don’t want to wear makeup. That’s perfectly understandable — after all, we’re not big into wearing makeup at the gym ourselves. Yet if you want to really add a finishing touch to a style that you’ve worked hard on, you’re going to need to get into the makeup game eventually.

The best place to learn how to do makeup tricks is YouTube, oddly enough. There are many great makeup artists that have taken to making their own videos in hopes of getting noticed and also getting work. You can follow along as they do different styles of makeup. You can also pick up a beauty magazine and see what type of styles speak the loudest to you.

Yes, it might take time for you to get things right, but hey — at least you’ll look pretty while you practice!

In Praise of Costume Jewelry – The Fashion Hound’s Best Friend!

admin

Diamonds might be forever, but the price tag will usually take you “forever” to pay them off. Is that something that you want to do? Not necessarily. You need to make sure that your accessories don’t get so expensive that you’re afraid to walk out of the door in fear that you’re going to lose an earring or a necklace might break and leave you holding a very expensive — yet empty — bag. You need to always think about your future style and plan accordingly. Do you really want expensive pieces? Then you can have them. However, your style won’t evolve as fast as someone that can get their hands on costume jewelry.

Sure, there’s going to be a point where you want to always get the nicest stuff out there. But when you’re just starting out and you don’t have a lot of money to spend, there’s nothing wrong with getting costume jewelry. Some jewelry is actually made out of semi-precious gemstones, which means that it’s not as cheap as the obvious supermarket jewelry, but it’s not going to be so expensive you’re going to need to take out a second mortgage on your home.

The truth here is that you need to keep all things in perspective without just going out of control. Look at your budget — as unsexy as that sounds. Do you have the money to invest in quality jewelry? If so, then splurge. But if you know that you’re on a smaller budget than your fashionista friends, there’s no shame in cubic zirconia jewelry over diamonds. A lot of people that might claim to have diamonds may actually choose the CZ jewelry as well.

There are plenty of great online stores to get costume jewelry from, so don’t feel like you don’t have any options — go out there and see what will work for your fashion style!

Great Shoes are Worth Paying More For!

admin

Is there any part of your body that works harder than your feet? Not really. You’re walking, running, ducking, bending, and otherwise giving your feet a really big workout. This means that now is the time to pay for good shoes that can work with you and not against you. Unfortunately, a lot of people end up cutting their shoe budget in favor of better clothes. However, you only get one pair of feet in this lifetime, so you need to make sure that they’re well protected. Unfortunately, the trouble with super cheap shoes is that they are made of super cheap materials. These are the only protective materials that your feet have standing between them and the hard sidewalk. If you walk in urban areas where there is a lot of metal and glass on the ground, you could be potentially setting yourself up for disaster. Of course, it doesn’t have to be this way.

It’s possible to get high end shoes at a good price, even if you’re in the market for a brand new pair. You will just need to catch the sales — usually around the holidays is a great time, and also right after a holiday is a great time. Any time of the year where sales teams think you’re going to be spending money is a good time to spend money — but in a much more controlled way, of course. You don’t want to go overboard with your shoe budget — there’s no need to save up for thousand dollar shoes, even if they have a famous designer behind them.

It’s better to focus on the things that you can control, naturally. So if you’re in the market for shoes, look for shoes that might be slightly above your price range normally and then save up for those. That way, you’ll get a good pair of shoes that will last for the long haul!

Find Your Fashion Voice – It’s Not as Hard as You Think!

admin

If you take no other piece of advice from us, take this — you need to have your own style. It’s okay to be influenced by other things. We can admire the styles of Kim Kardashian, Scarlett Johansson, Helen Mirren, Jennifer Aniston, J-Lo, and more — but we want to make sure that we have our own style at the end of the day.

Fashion is something that you should feel proud of. When you get up and get dressed, you should want to wear the things in your closet. When you follow trends so hard that things fall out of style so fast that you never enjoy them, what’s the point of even following the trend in the first place? You need to always keep this in mind when you’re trying to get things done, because nobody wants to find themselves with a closet full of expensive things that they don’t really want to wear anymore.

Yet that doesn’t really answer the question that you’re really thinking about, does it? You want to really know how to rock your style from scratch. How do you build your style from the start?

Well, as mentioned before you need to think about what type of style you want in the first place. Some people like to echo the old fashioned glam of Hollywood, while others want the fun of the 80′s grunge movement. It’s completely up to you, but you’re going to have to start somewhere. Yes, your friends can even help you, but again — don’t copy, because that’s going to just leave you with no room to grow.

You want to build a style that says you truly know what you want in life. It’ll make you more confident, which can lead to better opportunities in life. Your style is going to change over time as you develop new tastes, so why not get started today?

Don’t Go Overboard With Color – Use It To Your Advantage!

admin

One of the biggest fashion mistakes that we see when we’re out and about on the street — fashionably dressed, of course! — is that people often go overboard with color. Now, don’t get us wrong here — we love color. We think color is wonderful. But you need to make sure that you’re going to actually be able to use color to your advantage, rather than just splashing it everywhere. Now is the time to really think about the colors that you use, instead of just rushing in to wear something.

Fashion is planned — anyone that tells you otherwise is just fooling themselves. If you really want to rock a style, you need to think ahead of time. Toning down color by balancing it with neutral tones is one way to achieve your point. Other people like to wear a solid outfit and save the color for the accessories. That’s one way to do things.

There’s nothing that says that you have to take our ideas to heart, but if you feel stuck in your current style and you need some inspiration, you might want to look into playing with color a little more or a little less depending on what you already do now.

The perfect time to change your style might never come, so you have to take each moment and build on it. You have to take each day in life to do the things that matter and go from there. You have to decide if fashion is important to you. Sure, if fashion isn’t important to you then it really doesn’t matter. On the other hand, if you know that you want to be as stylish as possible, then you’re going to need to put some thought into it.

As always, we give you the best fashion advice we can think of, so don’t think that we’re trying to pick on you — we’re just being honest here!
