Perhaps it was this spring's Royal Wedding, or the return of the 1970's to summer fashion, or maybe the sunny weather is just causing all of us ladies to become practical, but hats have suddenly increased in cool factor. You may not be able to wear a huge wide-brimmed fedora to an afternoon movie, or to work, but there are ways to add a chic hat into your daily look.
With summer officially here and the warm months ahead now upon us, you'll want to ease your tangled and winter-damaged tresses into a sleek summer style perfect for the upcoming hot days. Here are some tips to keep your locks feeling smooth, luscious, and shampoo commercial bouncy, no matter whether your average summer day takes place at the beach or the office!
The avant-garde and haute couture-inspired biker look might not be your ideal choice for summer wardrobe selections. Maybe you think that it's too heavy, too striking, and bears too strong a contrast to the floaty and feminine looks which are also on trend these days. However, fashion is never about and has never been about just one fad. If anything, summer 2011 is about contradictions in terms, the willingness to experiment, and a chance to branch out and enjoy everything that this season's styles have to offer.
Here are some tips for rocking a tee, haute couture style, in the upcoming weeks and months:
With the popularity of the thriller Black Swan, and with Hollywood divas such as Jennifer Lopez and Kim Kardashian picking up on this latest beauty trend, it's no surprise that the ballerina-inspired bun is predicted to be huge for spring. As temperatures gradually rise as we approach summer, and with mixed weather conditions each week such as rain and wind, the pulled-back style is great for keeping your hair under control.
Both side and middle parts were strong statement-makers on spring runways this year, with sleek lines and sharp angles dominating straight hair which was glossy, flawless, and full of shine and body.
With the popularity of the hit Black Swan, ballerina fashion eventually moved from the local Cineplex to the local shopping centre, leaving us with style choices which are a spellbinding performance indeed. While dance-inpired fashions might bring out memories of childhood ballet lessons for some of you, it's time to experiment with more grown-up and fashion-forward ballerina looks. So say goodbye to itchy leotards, clingy tutus, and those pink tights you would have never been caught dead in outside of class, and let ballet style make a second impression on you.
With LG Fashion Week behind us, the world of style is now left with a host of inspiring choices to look forward to later this year when fall fashions officially hit store shelves. While most of us are looking forward to spring at the moment and fall is far from our thoughts, it's never too early too start looking at promising trends and talented local designers.
Midis are neither short nor long, but the medium-length skirt style is predicted to be popular for spring. Here are tips for rocking a midi skirt in a figure-flattering and stylish way, as opposed to the frumpy calf-length skirts of yesterday, circa 1990s.
