CLASSIC V/S TRENDY

IN A WORLD FULL OF TRENDS , DO YOU WANT TO BE CLASSIC?
-Anonymous

I have a question, So is it Evergreen pieces? Or is Fashion Fad for you? I suggest you must have both 🙂 This post explores the best of both worlds, I will delve into the advantages of both Classic wear v/s Trendy wear. Before we move forward, we must understand the correct definition of Classic wear and Trendy Wear.

Classic Fashion is a style that lasts for several seasons, sometimes even years and is accepted by many people. For these time-honoured styles, you don’t have to think twice before wearing them. Ask yourself if you are going to wear it after five years? If the answer is Yes you know you have a simple piece in your wardrobe! White shirts and t-shirts combined with basic denim jeans are the best examples of Classic style. On the other hand, Trendy wear is something extremely fashionable and influenced by the most recent or inspired fashion ideas.

A simple black dress, a worsted wool suit, a leather bomber jacket, basic denim with white shirts- these are all simple fashions that repeat themselves year after year. On the other hand, vogue design lasts only for a season, sometimes even less than a season. Fancy Fashion tends to be at the extreme end of a design with a kind of vibe to it, which can be retro or luxe or any other but not at all prototypal. Also, they don’t always go with all kinds of accessories only but unique ones.

Let’s look into it:

CLASSIC FASHION WEAR

Everyone affiliated with fashion knows about the iconic Audrey Hepburn vintage look for Breakfast at Tiffany’s. LBD (Little black dress) always tops the list for a typical wardrobe! But nothing can beat the effortless charm of the standard pair of BLUE JEANS https://jeanbleu.com/ Here it is!

Jeans are a forever wardrobe essential. While certain styles, such as distressed or skinny jeans, may pass in and out of fashion, a stellar pair of women’s jeans is simple and timeless. While jeans trends can be fun to explore and style, be sure your closet has a few good pairs of classic jeans. Not to mention a crisp white shirt to team it up with is always a wonderful option. Accessorize it with black sunglasses with a classic tote bag and you can never go wrong. And this comes under nonchalant clothing, which I love to do!

Fashion gurus swear by this plain look for ages. Nothing can ever go wrong with this safest classic combo. An extremely versatile and timeless look, apt for most occasions with elite comfort. Usual clothing style describes a person’s personality of preference towards enduring looks, simple and elegant cuts, choice of fine natural fabrics, and matching accessories such as leather shoes and handbags which make the look wholesome.

Though not giving the flashiest look in the room, time-honoured clothing choices always make a person look good. Well, I feel like a diva when my baby looks at me like that:)

PS: To boot you can layer a fresh white shirt underneath jackets and sweaters. You can conjointly add a silk blouse that can be dressed up with slacks or worn with jeans for a more casual and simple look.

TRENDY FASHION WEAR

Now to compare my Classic look with Trendy fashion wear, I need a piece of clothing with a certain kind of melancholy to it that can be experimental to some extent what else is better than POLKA DOTS; https://www.zara.com/ca/en/woman-dresses-polka-dot-l1775.html it’s very stylish and looks good on all themes and occasions but still comes with certain restrictions that we have to keep in mind before wearing it as it has this retro vibe to it and needs to combine with exclusive accessory to nail the look. And for 2022, Polka dot dresses are more significant than ever. Kate Middleton is spotted in one almost weekly, Bella Hadid and Kendall Jenner are fans. At the same time, brands including Richard Quinn, Zara and Ganni have recently launched their own reworked designs in a variety of modern colourways and innovative styles.

Polka-dot-printed fashion is about as iconic as it comes but we’ve seen a new resurgence of the timeless favourite, sprinkled throughout the pre-fall 2022 designer collections not to mention Polka dots always rule the chart for me!

The evocative vibe with Polka dots never takes it out of vogue and it always comes as a breather among wild and weird trends year after year. It is so chic and comfortable and at the same time has the ability to enhance your inner feminity.

Opting for a polka-dot dress or shirt, your personality is probably just as lively and energetic as the playful print. Those who prefer polka dots have also been identified as hardworking and multi-taskers. Adding polka dots to your everyday formals can enhance your personality.

Readers, this diminutive comparison between Classic v/s Trendy wear is always interesting to discuss which somehow is responsible to keep the pace of the fashion cycle going on and on every year. As I mentioned earlier both of these amazing style pieces are must have in your wardrobe. You can fan both to nail them. In fashion always look for a style which is super comfortable and chic, and that’s all we want. Right?

I hope, you find this article alluring!

YOUR FASHION FEAR BUSTED: PART II

FASHION IS WHAT YOU’RE OFFERED FOUR TIMES A YEAR BY DESIGNERS. AND STYLE IS WHAT YOU CHOOSE
LAUREN HUTTON

If you find yourself on the style sidelines thinking, “I could never pull that off,” then it’s time to get a new fashion mantra. I’ve rounded up sage words of wisdom that every fashion wallflower needs. This time again I am going to bust a few of your fashion fears. Knowingly that all my beautiful squad is full of confidence, brave to experiment but there are certain moments, where you are unsure about particular fashion piece. You won’t wear trousers cause you inherited your mother’s hips, you can’t wear boots,, you are too short, can’t put Hat as you think it’s plain silly. Am I looking good with this or it’s a total disaster? Such constant overthinking kills all the fun!!

Another part of FFB is here. So like the previous one, I am going to include three more fashion fears that need to be busted as soon as they can.

In this part, my discussion point will be :

Hats look Silly On Me. it’s not for everyone
High waist trouser add to my hips
Sheer tops look tacky

HATS LOOK SILLY ON ME, ITS NOT FOR EVERYONE
..

So if you are thinking of wearing hats, this crosses your mind most definitely, how effortlessly celebs pull off Sicilian Mafioso style hats on a red carpet. How amazingly Victoria Beckham managed to redefine contemporary British Chic look with her hat at royal events. You are not a singer or any WAG designer on the red carpet to pull the look and moreover, you think hats belong to such people. You might fear you look ridiculous striding into a cafe wearing a fedora. Noooo you will not! You can nail the hat look by finding the correct frame for your hat. No matter what is the shape of your face whether it’s Square, Long/Oval, Heart-shaped, or round.

YOU CAN DO IT AND HOW?

Keep your look casual. Pick a hat that suits your face type and wear it with a t-shirt. jeans or casual jacket, as I combined it with beige cami layered it with a denim shirt and dyed jeans. Try to keep this look absolutely casual to really sport that hat.

HIGH WAIST TROUSERS ADD TO MY HIPS
..

Those slinky Palazzo pants look irresistible swishing around celeb’s gorgeous gams, but your high-waisted pants highlight three curves where there ought to be just one. You think high-waisted pants are no friend to those with muffin tops and thunder thighs, but pick the right fabric and silhouette, and you could give any celeb a run for her money lol! while opting for high waist trousers fabric plays a really important role.

YOU CAN DO IT AND HOW?

Choose a flared cut, preferably with detail on the cuffs. Structured fabrics are better than clingy ones. Clingy and loose fabrics never create that silhouette for high waist trousers or pants. If the fabric chosen is not structured then it may spoil the whole look and you will end up looking improper and that will spoil all the fun of wearing such an amazing piece of cloth which we should try with different kinds of tops.

SHEER TOP LOOKS TACKY ON ME
..

You can’t resist the old-world glamour of pearl-coloured shirts and tops with a shell-like moonshine shimmer, but what on earth are you going to wear under them that won’t give you a tacky look or you feel it’s not going as per your personality and fashion style. Sometimes it’s experimented with a skin-coloured bra or lacy brightly coloured bra, but is that the right thing I am wearing? I hope I am not looking too loud! These kinds of questions usually pop while wearing such an audacious piece of garment.

YOU CAN DO IT AND HOW?

So you can nail it by adding more layers and wearing a fitted pretty corset under a loose sheer top. Or you can opt for a nice slip or camisole to wear inside your sheer top which just amalgamated into it but in a more understatedly sexy way. You can easily opt for different colour cami and slips but make sure they are very well fitted to keep the lookup in place.

So my folks by keeping these few simple tricks in mind you can expedite any garment piece or accessory you wish for, that too ending up like a diva. Do try these Fashion Faux Pas and come out shining like a pearl upon the ocean.

DO YOU HAVE THESE IN YOUR WARDROBE?

OUR LIFE DICTATES A CERTAIN KIND OF WARDROBE
Grace Kelly

ANY ITEM IN YOUR WARDROBE SHOULD SATISFY ONE OF TWO CRITERIA: UTILITY AND JOY
Stacy London

Back with a post that is not at all new to you, you may have heard it before. But I was waiting so long to write about the wardrobe must-haves that each one of us should possess and also how important role they play to create an ideal wardrobe. A good wardrobe should contain certain essentials to ensure you are always well turned out for any occasion. There are a few pieces which in my opinion everyone should have. Let’s begin with these wardrobe must-haves.

BLAZER/JACKET (from ZARA)

A very stylish well-fitted jacket that enhances one’s personality is right up here on my list of wardrobe-essentials. Pure leather, blingy, houndstooth, denim or checkered make one feel chic and comfortable at the same time. It never makes you look over the top because of the cuts and silhouettes, it can highlight your curve and make you voluptuous if you are thin and can add some height, especially long jackets if you are looking for a tall structure. A jacket /blazer will always compliment your outfit.

PRINTED STOLE (from FABINDIA)

It is a simple as any other wardrobe addition, a printed stole whether it a floral print, animal print or just any random print, it can be wrapped around your neck or handbag or can be worn as a bandana will give a statement to your style quotient and your overall look.

SILK SAREE OR SILK SHIRT (from NALLI’S)

Another addition to your wardrobe is a beautiful silk saree( Indian heritage) or a soft silk shirt. So I opted for a saree, nothing conveys the message stronger than a traditional, nine-yard draped around your body. A silk saree whether a Patola, Banarasi, Jamdani or Chanderi, is the perfect attire to flaunt my Indianess at festivals or social do’s. Also, a silk shirt in any shade/hue will do wonders when complementing with a pencil skirt or simply with formal trousers. Silk is a beautiful cloth.

NUDE COLOUR SHOES (from ALDO)

This is a must-have for your wardrobe. It goes almost with everything you wear irrespective of its colour or style. It is the best shade to mute the attention from anything that takes away from the outfit. It looks super chic with short dresses and almost goes with every pattern. You must have at least one pair in your wardrobe.

PERFUME (from HERMES)

Any wardrobe is incomplete without a good perfume to make that clothing live and worthwhile. An amazing fragrance around you brings the whole look to almost perfection. Go for earthy, woody, floral or any fruity fragrance or should have one each from all. A signature perfume is a must for any occasion.

So by having these above few must-haves in your wardrobe can elaborate the wardrobe quotient and brings it to a whole new place, all you have to do is to keep signature or statement pieces for each.

I hope you are already having a few items in your wardrobe, but for the rest, you can go ahead as the holiday season is almost there, no harm in treating yourself with that new pair of shoes or a nice chic blazer or jacket to pamper your inner self.

SPORT IT DIFFERENTLY: SHIRT DRESS

ALWAYS DRESS WELL KEEP IT SIMPLE BUT SIGNIFICANT

SHIRTDRESS: SPORT IT!

Shirt dresses were sometimes called “shirtwaist dresses” when they were fashionable during the 1950s. The 1950s version of the shirtdress was launched as part of Christian Dior’s post–World War II “New Look” couture designs, with a full skirt held up by wearing a crinoline. They often featured a notched collar and elbow-length sleeves with cuffs. More informal versions of the shirtdress, made of cotton, but retaining the full skirt and collar, became a staple part of many women’s wardrobes during the 1950s, with designers such as Anne Fogarty becoming known for their versions of this style.

I love traveling, who doesn’t. The past two years because of Pandemic travel got severely affected not only for me but for everyone out there, especially those who really enjoy trips. The world is getting back at it slowly and steadily and I hope things will turn out to be better than before. For me traveling brings so much peace. Recently I changed my Province and planned six days road trip to reach my destination and why I am sharing this as I feel clothing is a very important part of the travel. And dressing comfortably makes more sense to me while I am out on a travel, no one wants to be uncomfortable. I believe while you are out and about always opt for the most comfortable wear. Out of such clothes, my vote goes to Shirt Dress, which truly justifies the comfort level.

A Shirtdress is a style of a women’s dress that borrows details from a man’s shirt. These can include a collar, a button front, or cuffed sleeves. Often, these dresses are made up of crisp fabrics including cotton or silk. As they are typically cut without a seam at the waist, these dresses often have a looser fit, usually relying on a belt to define the waist. Button fronts and a forgiving fit make this a flattering look for most body types. The shirt dress is not only comfortable to wear also you can wear it in like daily, it is also a combination of both comfort and chic vibe.

I would love to style my Shirtdress in a unique way. With this apparel, you can have multiple combinations and can combine it whichever way you like. This is certainly going to rock the look. So here is my take to wear it differently and for that, I added a sporty look to it which gave all-new dimensions to this apparel. I combined my favorite denim shirt and a cap to go absolutely sporty.

You can also accessorize it with funky jewelry. Also, try your denim shirt from the back towards the waist to elevate the look.

Do try this so very effortless look with the super vibe.

OOPS!HOOPS!

WHEN THE HOOP EARRINGS GO ON. THE BOSS BABE COMES OUT
anonymous

Everyone loves to accessorize beautiful outfits and one major item out of pandora comes out to be is nice and trendy pair of earrings and that is none other than Hoop Earrings! I am sold to this powerful full circle. I just love them and found them as an extremely powerful piece of jewelry and adore them to the moon and back!

Hoops earrings are originated in Mesopotamia and it was ancient peoples of the African civilization that first wore hoops. Hoop earrings are circular or semi-circular in design and look very similar to a ring. Hoop earrings generally come in the form of a hoop of metal that can be opened to pass through the ear piercing. They are often constructed of metal tubing, with a thin wire attachment penetrating the ear.

Give your dainty hoop earrings a break and invest in a large pair for 2021. The oversize style was spotted on the spring 2020 runways from designers like Carolina Herrera and Sies Marjan. Updated takes on the design include door-knocker styles like the Balenciaga ones and double hoops from Proenza Schouler.

In conclusion, hoops are certainly here to stay. Also, they can be however you want them to be – classy, dramatic, elegant, or sophisticated. So don’t be afraid to experiment. We’re sure there’s a pair of hoops out there that’s perfect for you!

Suiting mostly to a square-shaped face, these earrings are suitable for any wearer and a true statement piece to amp your glam quotient and add an extra pop to your accessories collection.

I found the secret message written on them loud and clear and it is “Go Big or Go Home”.These circular stunners are very popular with celebs or social media influencers. The best part of this beautiful piece is that you can easily pair them with almost anything: from peasant blouse to maxi dress to band tees, you can even wear them with a swimsuit while on shores.

From big gold ones to smaller silver varieties or round hoops, also other designs feature stones, prints, twists, and attached chains. Sweeping and big-sized hoops are for collared tops and dresses, medium-sized go best with off-the-shoulder pieces and tiny hoops are best paired with headbands and shades.

Try hoops to nail them, don’t wait much, and give that swag to yourself.
