Find Your Mojo with Boho – How to Dress Bohemien

Leave a reply

Fashion has frequently embraced the Bohemian style, with its exotic and free-spirited way of thinking. This style has a lot of history behind it, but today it’s all about layering, luscious fabrics, rich colors and eye-catching accessories. The best part of the style is that it highlights your own uniqueness and creativity, allowing for a fun expression of individual style through fashion.

“Bohémien” was a term which first emerged in nineteenth century France to describe immigrants who had come to that country from Bohemia, in the Czech region of central Europe. The French Bohemians lived in the lower class gypsy neighborhoods are were known as artists and creators. In Europe, Bohemians were associated with unorthodox social and political views. In more modern times, the term  is often shortened to “Boho” and refers to those who live a non-conforming, impoverished and generally artistic lifestyle.

As it relates to fashion, the Bohemian style conveys an attitude of freedom, independence and appreciation for beauty. The “hippie” look of the late 1960’s and early 1970’s included many elements of this style. The Bohemian look reflects a very relaxed and earthy feel, with flowing fabrics and multiple layers. Materials and accessories are usually made from natural materials such as cotton, linen, wood, stones and leather. Handmade items are popular, as are beads on jewelry, purses, belts and other accessories. Vintage jewelry and similar items always work well with the Bohemian look.

To find your own Bohemian style, begin by studying fashion magazines to develop your own sense of fashion. Study women who are considered fashionable, and what sets them apart from other people. While all fashion icons don’t have Bohemian style, they do follow their own fashion sense. For some examples of modern Bohemian style, check out pictures of Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen, Sienna Miller, Kate Moss, Chloe Sevigny and Mischa Barton.

Be an individual. Boho style embraces individuality, not just sandals and flowing skirts. There are no guidelines to follow when dressing Bohemian, other than your own inspiration. The point is to find fashions that you love, and put them together in a way that expresses your unique personality.

Be creative. Don’t go with the obvious trends in fashion. The fun part about dressing with Bohemian style is that pieces do not have to match. They should layer well together, but there are no rules when creating your own ensembles. Don’t be afraid to mix it up as you experiment with what works (and what doesn’t). Fortunately there won’t be any paparazzi to photograph your fashion bloopers for all the world to see!

Accessories, accessories, accessories. Accessories are a vital part of the Bohemian style, from berets to shoes. Layer on necklaces of natural stone and beads, the chunkier and more unusual the better. Bags, especially those of leather or fabric, are a great addition to the boho look. Boots are another Bohemian staple, and are versatile enough to wear with skirts and jeans.

Dressing with Bohemian style is a fun way to express yourself while being fashionable and comfortable.

Kris Allen

American Idol contestant Kris Allen has developed his own fashion style while making his way to the top of the AI finalist list. His wardrobe blends traditional college frat boy with polished professional, resulting in a hip look worthy of emulation.

Kris’ wardrobe choices certainly contrast with those of his fellow Idol rocker, Adam Lambert, making him stand out as the handsome all-American rocker. While Adam seems to channel his inspiration from a creepy combination of Boy George, Trent Reznor and Raoul from “Phantom of the Opera,” Kris Allen’s style is much more approachable. He’s the hot guy on campus with just the right touch of rebel, which is what you’d expect from a 23-year-old student at the University of Central Arkansas who has been singing and playing guitar since he was 13. He’s someone you wouldn’t mind taking home to meet the parents. Adam, on the other hand, would be best left at the rock concert.

So how do you imitate Kris Allen’s laidback yet polished style? It shouldn’t be hard for most guys who visit Gap, Abercrombie and American Eagle occasionally, as long as they’re willing to throw a little James Dean into the mix.

Tailored jackets. Tailored jackets are an essential part of the Kris Allen look, whether paired with a simple t-shirt or over a white shirt for a more dressed-up look.

Well-fitted jeans with an edge. Most guys buy their jeans too big, so they never get to show off that really great masculine shape that comes from a slimmer jean that fits in all the right places. Kris’s style is complemented perfectly by great jeans, such as the pair of Joe’s Jeans he wore on a recent episode of American Idol. The distressing on the jeans adds a bit of edge to the look, and contrasts with his cleaner wardrobe selections.

Button-up shirts. The button-up shirt in various styles and patterns adds a clean look to Kris’s style.

Fun t-shirts. No college kid can live without them, and Kris’s look includes layers using tees with interesting patterns and logos. Try different necklines under button-ups for various style combinations.

Minimal accessories. A modest necklace and maybe a bracelet or two will enough jewelry to finish off the Kris look.

Cool shoes. Sneakers, boots and anything that works for a cool college guy will coordinate with Kris’s look.

Messy hair. Kris’s tousled hair can work for any guy. Just let the hair grow out a bit and leave it all one length, with a bit of extra length on the sideburns, then add gel and mess it up. It’s a simple, foolproof look that wins over the ladies every time.

Adam Lambert

Since the beginning of Season 8 of American Idol, Los Angeles native Adam Lambert has shaken things up. The 26-year-old complements his incredible vocals with a personalized style that’s part sophisticated, part punk, and all cool.

Adam began singing and performing at the age of 10, so he’s had lots of time to perfect his unique image. Recently he was hired as a cast member and understudy for the role of Fiyero in the national tour of the Broadway hit musical “Wicked.” In 2004, Adam portrayed the role of Joshua in the pop-rock version of “The Ten Commandments” which ran briefly at the Kodak Theatre in Los Angeles. While that opera did not sit well with critics, Adam still managed to catch the eye of a reviewer who noticed that he was the production’s “most consistent crowd-wower.”
Even if you don’t have Adam Lambert’s amazing singing talent, grand stage presence and overall charm, you can still dress the part. Here are a few tips for how to knock off his polished, theatre-inspired look.

•    Mix it up with interesting layers and textures. From leather to clunky metals to silky scarves, the Adam look is all about pushing the envelope. Experiment with your own combination of clothing and accessories, such as mixing Goth-inspired jewelry with a velvet jacket and leather cowboy boots.

•    Tight jeans. They’re not 80’s spandex jeans, but they’re close. Check out your local department store to see if they have skinny styles in the men’s department. Adam even sported a more classic look, white Levi’s 501® Originals, when he performed “Mad World” on American Idol.

•    Tailored jackets. A boxy yet tailored jacket gives Adam lots of bulk on top, setting off those well-fitted jeans below. Just stick to black or neutral colors.

•    Retro suits. A tailored suit with a somewhat vintage styling is perfect when performing Adam’s smash vocals. Check out this Just Cavalli suit.

•    Metallic jewelry and punk accessories. Raid the thrift store for chunky vintage necklaces, rings and interesting bracelets. Leather is a popular punk look, such as this pair of black fingerless gloves that scream Adam. Zipper details are great too.

•    Big hair. While Adam’s ironed and dyed locks may take a while to catch on among the manly man crowd, the Adam look won’t be complete without some sort of bedhead going on. Slap on some gel and tousle your hair up, and you’ll be well on your way. Just don’t try the Elvis look unless you’re headed to a Vegas lounge or a costume party.

•    Makeup. Guyliner and “man”scara in blackest black are essential to achieve the complete Adam Lambert imitation. And don’t even think about leaving home without the black nail polish.

Shia LaBeouf

Shia LaBeouf

Shia LaBeouf is a casual dresser who always manages to look like he’s just thrown something on, but the results are something that has a special style that is instantly recognized as his. His primary style is one that is slightly retro, with a casual 50’s feel. Shia enjoys wearing clothing that looks vintage and that creates his own unique style.

Suits

When Shia attends a formal occasion that requires dressing up, he often wears a dark suit that is highly tailored. Like the tiny suits of the 50’s, he prefers a tight fitting jacket, skinny pants and a thin tie. He has been seen many times in a black suit with a thin black tie and a light-colored button-up shirt under the jacket. To get this look, try separates that are the same shade of black. The shirt can be white, off-white, or it can have a thin plaid pattern, as Shia has worn before.

For some occasions, Shia wears a thin tie, a button-up shirt and a vest in place of a suit jacket. This look is easy to get by pairing separates that have similar colors that don’t precisely match. For one of his vest looks, pair faded black jeans with a dressy shirt and a deep black best. Finish off this look with a skinny black tie. When dressed up, Shia almost always has his sleeves rolled up to his elbow. Even when he has a suit jacket on, he rolls up the sleeves of the jacket and shirt together for a retro 50’s look.

Another variation on this look is to wear a black sweater in place of a suit jacket. He has done this for award shows and other dressy occasions, and he rolls up the sleeves of the sweater and shirt just as he does when he wears other dressy outfits. To get this same look, find a black sweater with retro lapels, and wear it with dark pants, a dark tie and a light-colored button-up shirt.

Casual Wear

Most of the time, Shia is a casual dresser who loves to wear comfortable, fashionable clothes with a slight retro flair. One of his casual looks is to pair a brightly-colored plaid shirt over a white t-shirt. To copy this look, button up the plaid shirt, but leave one button undone to show the white t-shirt beneath it. Pair the shirts with a pair of medium blue or faded black straight-leg jeans.

Another favorite casual look for Shia LaBeouf is t-shirts that have an older, vintage look to them. The t-shirts he wears are usually crew neck style, and there’s no end to the colors and patterns that he chooses. To choose a t-shirt that looks like one that he would wear, pick one with a retro pattern or one that looks like its been worn for years. He wears many t-shirts that look like faded khaki or that have fade marks on them to simulate a vintage item.

How To Dress Like An Intellectual

Intellectual

An intellectual can cover so many different types of styles. You have your philosophers, scientists, general geniuses, computer geeks and so on. So, if you want to dress like someone who other people consider to be really stinking smart, you have to decide on which way you want to go. Here are a few options:

The Genius Look

People who are geniuses are normally too busy being smart and thinking of new ways to make, interpret, test or prove things than they have for their personal fashion. This being said, a genius should look a little disheveled at all times, even when they dress up. Because they are so busy with thinking, they ignore fashion trends all together, because of this, think ten year old fashion and go with that to a degree. Slightly messy hair and wrinkled clothing is a good call as well.

Slippers are a big win for this look as are button down sweaters with pockets. Your shoes should like as if you’ve had them for years and so should your clothes in general. A Genius is not concerned with appearance, just science! Albert Einstein is a perfect example of the archetypal genius.

The Philosopher Look

Generally a philosopher is very concerned as to how people see them because their whole existence is figuring out why things are the way they are and not how they are the way they are. They are more concerned with appearance. If you are going for a suit, then you want something tailored and a little older looking. If you are taking it easy, a sweater vest with pockets, comfortable cargo pants and some soft shoes are needed. Your overall appearance should exude a quiet air of superiority and organization.

The Computer/Tech Geek Look

Ok, this is the most confusing of them all. The typical computer geek look of fashion are high-water pants, white socks, black shoes, a white short sleeve shirt with a pocket protector, short hair and black horn rimmed glasses held together with white tape. Well, if you are doing this for a one-time gig then go for that, if this is a style change, you will need to dig a bit deeper.

Honestly, a computer/tech geek these days like wearing stuff that lets people know they are computer geeks. T-shirts with computer logos or sayings are the way to go with this. As long as you have that you are pretty much done these days. For the rest, some comfortable jeans, sneakers and an unbuttoned dress shirt over the t-shirt and you are good to go. Sometimes it’s hard to tell these apart from computer gamers but they are closely related anyway.

Rock star

The great thing about being a big rock star is the freedom you have in your wardrobe. There are no cut and dry rock star looks anymore that went out with the big hair heavy metal bands of the 80’s. Nowadays, a rock star’s fashion can be anything at all; however, there are some tried and true looks that have stood the test of time and can make anyone look like a rock star.

Rock stars don’t base their fashion on what other people think of them, they don’t have to, there’re rock stars after all. You should keep this in mind when putting your look together and don’t worry about copying the look of someone else’s style, it all overlaps at some point or another.

Here’s what you’ll need:

1)    Hairstyle – Your hairstyle must not be normal at all. Rock stars have interesting and odd-looking haircuts to express their individuality. This is a great time to look at someone else’s haircut and, more or less, copy it.
2)    Shirts – For your shirts they should fit your body and not be overly baggy at all. A black t-shirt is a good bet as that is classic for a rock star or, you can wear shirt sporting a vintage band logo because all rockers pay homage to their favorite old bands that have inspired them. When it’s cold, a leather biker jacket is a must.
3)    Sunglasses – Don’t forget your sunglasses. They must be dark so the public can’t see your blurry red eyes from all the partying you do. Make sure they are fashionable and fit your face style.
4)    Pants – There are two types of pants you can go for to complete the rock star look and those are jeans and leather pants. For the jeans you don’t so much want faded old jeans but torn knees or other areas are just perfect. They should be a proper fit and not very loose on you at all. The darker the jeans the better, you don’t see a rock star is light blue jeans do you? Leather pants are well; leather pants the ultimate in cool. Get them immediately!
5)    Shoes – Your shoes need to be sturdy and cool looking. A vintage pair of sneakers with a checkerboard look or a pair of black boots, think Doc Martens, will be a perfect pair for rocking and stomping around on and off the stage.
6)    Jewelry – You don’t want anything fancy or frilly. We are talking black leather with spikes and studs here. If your ears aren’t pierced, you will want to look into magnetic earrings.

All of these tips will have you looking like a rock star in no time but there is one thing that all the clothing in the world can’t do and that is make you act like a rock star. You have to act like a rock star if you want to look like a rock star.

Project an air of confidence and playfulness. Rock stars are very outgoing and want attention and approval from everyone they see. You have to be the center of attention and if you are at a party, then party like, well, a rock star.

Paris Hilton is one of the biggest style icons today for girls and young women. Her style has ushered in a new era for high-end items that are worn like badges of honor. You will rarely see Paris Hilton without at least one or two very high-end clothing items or accessories.

Accessories

Paris Hilton’s wardrobe is all about the accessories. When people notice her outfit, they usually talk about her handbags, sunglasses and jewelry.

How to Dress Like You are from the 90s

Leave a reply

By the 1990s, the fashion crimes of the 80s had faded away. The teased hair and legwarmers were gone. But those who thought that the 1990s would mean a new, brighter dawn for fashion, they were sorely mistaken and no doubt disappointed. Fashion critics everywhere would be hard pressed to decide whether the styles of the 1990s were any better than those of the 80s. Most would say that they weren’t better or worse, they were just different.

For all of the high-wasted jeans and puff bangs, the styles of the 80s demanded cleanliness. It’s rather difficult to achieve that oh-so-desirable wavy frizz without fresh clean hair. However, the 1990s required no such ceremony. Fashion in the 1990s was a world in which anything goes. The slouch boots were out, but grunge reigned supreme. The 1990s gave fashion critics something entirely new to shudder about.
In a word, the 90s were the days in which people took casual dressing to a new level. Not only were baths optional, but most people looked like they had just rolled out of bed. Apparently, many folks had passed up pajamas and started hitting the sack in faded flannel button-ups and t-shirts. Baggy jeans were all the rage and the more you looked like you just didn’t care what you looked like, the more stylish you became.
Who’s to blame for all of this fashion debauchery? It’s hard to say, and because it’s not polite to point fingers, you would be hesitant to actually name a source of inspiration for the crumbling of hygiene and social formality. However, you can’t deny that the likes of Kurt Cobain, Kate Moss, and other such fashion and cultural icons took the reins on transforming 90s fashion into the no-frills, no-showers, no-hassle affair that it was.

With that, dressing like you’re from the 1990s is easier than almost any other decade. Not only is it the most recent of fashion fiascos, it’s also the most basic. All you need is a pair of old jeans and a crummy t-shirt.

However, therein lies the biggest myth about 1990s fashion. The truth is that those messy looking youngsters cared a great deal about what they wore and how they looked. Their attention to detail showed in the t-shirts they wore, however faded and dirty they may have been. The key to 1990s fashion is a studio of t-shirts that express who you really are.

What better way to express yourself through your t-shirts than to design them yourself? Designing your own t-shirts has never been easier than it is with custom t-shirt printing services. You can actually use your very own designs and have them professionally printed onto a t-shirt. Your friends will never know that you designed it yourself unless you tell them. They’ll think it’s a genuine souvenir from a rocking 90s grunge band concert.

Punk

How to Dress Punk – Tips and Advice

Punk

It may not be as common to dress punk anymore, but there is still plenty of great punk clothing out there to be worn. Dressing punk is all about going against the mainstream and rebelling against the normal order of things. To dress punk, there are a few basic elements to include in your outfits.

T-Shirts

T-shirts are a very punk item to wear. The most part, punk t-shirts are printed with punk band logos. These can be t-shirts from old concerts or they may be new t-shirts recently printed. The t-shirts should generally be black, white or a neon color. And if the t-shirt is torn up a little bit, that will contribute to the overall look.

Jackets

It’s hard to be punk without a leather jacket. Punk style often revolved around wearing a black leather jacket with metallic ornaments on it. These might be metal spikes that could be on the shoulder or sleeve of the jacket. You can also attach buttons that represent punk bands to the front of the jacket. If the jacket has a lot of snaps or zippers, those will work perfectly. If the jacket has no metal adornments, you can put dozens of safety pins on it to give it that metal jingle.

Boots

Some punks wear Converse All Star hi tops, but often, the punk look requires boots. Combat boots are the epitome of punk, and they are still made by several different companies. Dr. Martens makes great combat boots in punk style and in many different colors. While black combat boots are the classic punk look, red and white also work well for the look.

Women can also wear high heeled pumps as a part of their punk look if they don’t wish to wear combat boots. High heels can be very much punk if worn with fishnet stockings or with tight jeans that are rolled up at the bottom. The pumps themselves should be either black or in a bright neon color. If you can find wildly-patterned pumps, those will also work well.

Jeans

The best pants to wear when dressing punk are certainly jeans. Any type of jeans can be made to look punk, though dark blue and black jeans are generally the best types. But like everything else punk, you don’t want them to look too mainstream. That’s why slashing your jeans, cutting holes in them or even burning holes in them can make them look far more punk. Men generally wear black belts with silver studs on them that look like spikes.

Some girls wear jean shorts with torn up tights or shredded pantyhose under them as their primary punk statement. They may also wear very tight jeans with a t-shirt that is cinched with a studded belt. For women, the belt doesn’t have to be black with silver spikes. It can be a white belt with spikes or a black belt with rivets or safety pins on it. It can also be in a bright neon color with a wild pattern on it.

How to Dress Like Miranda Cosgrove

1 Reply

Miranda Cosgrove has a style that many tween girls love to emulate. One of the best things about Brenda Cosgrove’s style is that it is always age appropriate. She is very young and her style is always conscious of that. You will very rarely see her in plunging necklines, though she may wear a deep V-neck occasionally. Often, she wears t-shirts with a crew neck or with a scoop neckline.

Dresses

Because she has so many premieres and photo sessions to pose for, Miranda Cosgrove wears a lot of dresses. Her dresses are generally either strapless or short sleeved with interesting necklines. She loves to wear dresses that have a lot of detail on them such as belts, contrasting blocks of color, ruffles, lace or tiny, intricate patterns.

Shoes

With her dresses, Miranda Cosgrove likes to wear high-heeled pumps. Her heels are always in a color that matches closely with the color of her dress. She favors dark colors in her dresses and she loves to wear black high heels to match them. Her heels are usually very simple with no adornments or complicated patterns. They are generally in solid colors and they usually have thin heels rather than chunky heels. When she does have an adornment on her heels, it is usually nothing more than a small bow on the top.

Sometimes she wears flats with her dresses, though she seems to prefer her pumps. The flats are often Mary Jane flats with a thin strap across the top. This fits in well with her youthful style and her playful sense of fashion.

Casual Wear

Because she is so young, Miranda Cosgrove often dresses very casually when she’s not at an award ceremony or a premiere. One of her favorite outfits is a pair of jeans and a casual shirt. She loves to wear t-shirts with a printed pattern and seems to favor girlie floral patterns.

Her jeans are usually boot-cut jeans in dark blue denim. The jeans should not be too form fitting and should not be long enough to cover the shoe if you want to look like Miranda Cosgrove. The best way to wear these jeans to look more like her is to wear a pair of jeans in a dark color with either a slight flare or a boot cut. The jeans can then be paired with a long, patterned t-shirt. She loves to wear t-shirts in blue or in read with patterns printed either on the front or all over the shirt. The patterns can be either small or large, but they should have a floral theme.

Miranda Cosgrove has a number of short jackets that she wears over casual clothes. These leave the pattern of her t-shirt visible while adding a little extra style to her outfit. The jackets are usually very short and in a dark color to match her dark jeans. She usually wears dark-colored tennis shoes to go with the other dark colors that she favors. Solid-colored black tennis shoes are a favorite casual shoe.

How to Dress Like Victoria Beckham

Victoria Beckham is the ultimate soccer mom, who also happens to be a fashion icon, socialite, well-known singer and wife of probably the world’s best soccer star. Victoria Beckham is constantly photographed and her style commented on and documented as many strive to emulate her look. She is always on the cutting edge of style, but can also afford to be. Posh, as she is known, loves nothing but the best.

A big part of the Victoria Beckham style is her eye catching accessories. Rarely without ultra dark, oversized sunglasses, they are a trademark to her style. The large Birkin bag also adds to the Victoria signature. Very high heels are a part of almost every look she puts together. Her love of style has even led her to creating her own clothing line called The Victoria Beckham Collection. The dresses in her line are very much designed for a woman’s body and you must have a great figure to be able to pull them off. She also has a line of sunglasses, jewelry, perfume, handbags and had a line of jeans several years back.

For those with a very deep pocket, dressing like Victoria Beckham could be relatively easy to do. Practically all her looks are by big name designers with a high price ticket. Even her favorite accessory is a Birkin bag, which is extremely hard to get and expensive when you can get one. Therefore, for most people, imitating the Victoria Beckham look will mean wearing a lot of fashion knockoffs.

A good suggestion for anyone who seriously wants to dress like Victoria Beckham is to invest in a copy of the book she wrote on fashion advice entitled “That Extra Half an Inch: Hair, Heels and Everything in Between.” It will help you greatly in your quest to dress like the style icon.

The type of clothes you will need to wear most if you are looking to dress like Victoria Beckham are those that show off your appendages. Short skirts, sleeveless tops and dresses show off Victoria’s muscled body. She wears quite a bit of black but does not shy away from bright color also, having been photographed often in yellow, bright pink, purple and other colors. Almost every outfit she wears is either entirely black or another color matched with black. She is not one to indulge in prints and on the occasions that there are prints in her clothing, they tend to be so subtle that one can barely tell that it is a print.

A great place to start on your quest to dress like Victoria Beckham is to get a selection of custom-made black T-shirts and a few other bright, solid colors to wear with black pants or skirts. Opt for T-shirts that have shorter sleeves, even cap sleeves. However, a tee or two in a ¾ length sleeve is also a Posh style necessity. You will also want to look for boat necklines, scoop necklines and V-necks.

2) Make sure the clothing you get flatters your figure. Don’t buy something made for a supermodel body if you don’t have one. Always wear the correct size for your shape. Celebrity clothing is custom fit to their body and you want to get as close to that look as you can.
3) For you ladies out there you must learn to accessorize, if you already haven’t that is. A nice silver or gold chain is a good item and earrings are a must. The shinier the better and long dangly earrings are a must have. Scarves are a good idea as well. Just look through pictures for ideas and copy them.
4) When it comes to hairstyles, you have to think different every day. A celebrity would never be caught dead in the same exact haircut day in and day out. When you wake up, don’t brush your hair instead run your fingers through it to give a proper tousled look. Try wearing your hair down one day, up the next, ponytail on another day, etc. etc.
5) If you go for jeans they need to be dark, low cut and fit snuggly. No baggy old faded jeans. They should look like designer jeans as well. Take good care of these and watch how you wash them, you don’t want to fade them.
6) As for shoes, you need a few pairs of these. You will need some flats, stilettos and for those colder months go for the boots with the furry tops to them. Women, wear heals as much as possible. Men, dress shoes, sneakers and a good pair of boots.
7) If you want to wear a hat, stay away from baseball caps and go with a fedora or something along those lines. You could go for the Ashton Kutcher trucker hat style that swept the celebrity world.

That’s about it and just remember to have fun with it, you are famous after all.

How to Dress Like You are From the 1930s

1 Reply

Dressing like you’re from the 1930s isn’t very hard. Basically, you throw on an outfit of old rags and you’re ready to go. The 1930s were one of the darkest decades in United States’ history and certainly not a time of outrageous fashion.  In the 1920s, people really went all out. They partied all night and drank bootlegged liquor all day. It was a time of decadence, to be sure. Well, for some anyway. To their credit, the 1910s were an absolute mess and they were excited to see the other side of the First World War. However, the break didn’t last long, because a virtual bomb dropped just ten years later in 1929.

The stock market crash of 1929 brought all of that partying, dancing, drinking, and spending to a grinding halt. Across America, people were out of work and the future seemed pretty grim. As if an all out economic depression weren’t enough, many folks were busy digging themselves out of a dusty mess.

The Dust Bowl helped give the 1930s the extremely literal nickname of “The Dirty Thirties.” Bad farming and an alarming drought resulted in more than five years of uncontrollable dust storms that wreaked havoc on the American landscape, much less the agricultural and economic systems. Farmers in the High Plains had to run for cover and abandon their homes in order to find refuge from this raging disaster.
Needless to say, the 1930s were a mess. The country was all but torn apart and the morale of the American people was at an all time low. To say that times were tough would be an understatement.

However, despite national hardship, the 1930s were the era for what we now refer to as Old Hollywood. Hollywood glamour contrasted the basic wardrobes of wandering “Okies”. The golden suntans and bare shoulders of Hollywood were all the glamour this destitute era needed to help stay afloat.

For the ultimate outfit the truly embodies the 1930s, your ensemble should symbolize the devastation of the Depression and the Dust Bowl as well as the glamorous Hollywood scene. With a few rollers in your hair and a set of heavy duty shoulder pads under a basic tee, your outfit will definitely look like a modern interpretation of the 1930s.

Viking

You might think that dressing like a Viking wouldn’t be so easy. You’re probably right. After all, Vikings lived hundreds of years ago. To say that our modern-day fashions have moved on from those of the Viking days would be frightfully accurate.

Nevertheless, you might feel tempted to dress like a Viking because they were so darn cool. Everyone knows that the Vikings were a tough group of dudes. They took their little boats all over Europe conquering villages left and right. The Vikings were so tough that they even named a National Football League team after them. No football team would ever use a wimp for its mascot.

In addition to athletic inspiration, the Viking has also become a symbol of ruthless tenacity and victory. During the Viking age, the Vikings claimed a significant amount of land as their own. The Scandinavian explorers expanded their empire from Iceland to Asia. There were determined to be the big men on campus and the achieved it, for a while anyway.

Nothing lasts forever and the Vikings eventually had to turn their conquests over to another empire. But the Vikings will never be forgotten as symbols of super-charged masculinity and barbaric toughness.

In fact, the Viking’s horned helmet is one of the most recognized pieces in ancient tribal costuming. From football games to Halloween, this ritual helmet has become the universal symbol for the Viking. The undeniably conspicuous look of the helmet is hard to miss, which is probably why it so popular among the original Vikings. They definitely had some foresight when they created that famous accessory.

Along with their horned helmets, the Vikings also wore furs to keep them warm in the cold Scandinavian winters as well as suits of armor to protect them during their conquests. You’ll probably have a hard time finding a comparable Viking outfit. Not to mention, unless you live in Scandinavia, you’ll probably break a sweat before you even get it on.

There are much easier ways to dress like a Viking that don’t involve wearing animal hides or chainmail. In fact, you can get an authentic looking Viking ensemble with the help of a custom t-shirt printing service. In the blink of an eye, you can have all the basics of the Viking dress code.
Since you might have some difficulty finding an original Viking suit of armor, you might have to create an alternative. Design your own version of a Viking outfit and have it custom printed onto a basic t-shirt. Not only will you be much cooler, but you won’t have to worry about falling over mid-stride from all of the weight. You’ll look and feel like a Viking without huffing and puffing.

Just add a plastic horned helmet from your local costume store—or from your uncle’s Minnesota home—and you’ll look like the genuine article. Sometimes dressing like your favorite historical character means thinking outside the box. Even the Vikings would appreciate your ingenuity and your dedication to reviving the basics of Viking style.

It’s Time to Bring Back Hideous: How to Dress like You’re from the 1980s

Leave a reply

1980s

The 1980s were a special time for American fashion. You could say that the 80s were a time of decline. But that depends on your personal taste. If you like the look of acid wash jeans, big earrings, bigger hair, and even bigger shoulder pads, you’re probably still mourning the passing of 80s fashion. Never fear. It will probably come into style again just like bygone trends seem to do. For some reason, fashion, unlike history, seems to repeat itself.

The fashions of the 1980s made quite an impression on the world. They made an impression in that almost everyone looks at old photographs of themselves from that treasured time and shudders. The taffeta prom dresses were unforgiving for everyone’s figure and the tight-roll pants leg trend didn’t do anyone any favors. Indeed, 80s fashion marked an era of delusion when it came to what is flattering and what isn’t.

We wish we could say that fashion emerged from the 80s stronger than ever. But if we’re going to be completely honest, we’d have to say that the fashion world is only just now recovering from the tragic time. Nevertheless, there are those that want to hang on to the 80s look no matter how bad it was.

The best thing about 80s fashion is that it is budget friendly. Almost anyone can create the ultimate 1980s outfit with household items. Gather some glitter, a few safety pins, some bleach, a t-shirt, and some AquaNet hair spray and you’ll be well on your way to an unrivaled 80s get-up. Everyone remembers the scene from Pretty in Pink when she emerges in her original creation made from two different dresses. If only today’s trends could be so accessible and affordable.

But without diving head first into the offenses of the signature 80s look, you can have all the simplicity of the 80s wardrobe. All you need is a few ideas and access to a great ct-shirt idea.  T-shirts were a big part of the 80s fashion. People celebrated their causes, music groups, and teenage angst with the help of t-shirt expression. There’s no reason why this trend has to die with the decade. You can put whatever you want on a basic t-shirt for a hip twist on the 80s look and an expression of your own personality.

Once the shirt is printed and complete, you can modify it anyway you want if you really want to go to the next level of 80s punk. If you’re one of those rebels with a cause to bring back the essence of the 80s, grab the puff paint, glue gun, and a few safety pins and give your new custom printed t-shirt the ultimate 80s look. With a few custom printed t-shirts in your closet, you can make your come back as the ultimate 80s teen queen.

Dresses

Blake Lively wears a lot of dresses, both when out on the town having fun and when she’s attending important events. Sometimes she also wears casual dresses to go shopping and out to lunch with friends. Her casual dresses are often neutral colored or pastel in color so that they aren’t too flashy for the day time.

Like her casual dresses, her evening dresses all have very low-cut fronts. Sometimes, she wears evening dresses with belts to accentuate her waist.

Casual Wear

When she’s dressing casually, she often wears jeans and plain shirts. One of her classic outfits is skinny black jeans and a white button up shirt. These pieces work well together as a casual but fashionable outfit and they also work well when paired with other classic items from her wardrobe. There are many white shirts that will work well both as simple classic pieces and as a feminine part of your wardrobe.

Skinny jeans look, look for black jeans that are tapered-leg style and that have a low rise. These can be put together with a loose button-up shirt or with a t-shirt that is cinched with a belt. Sometimes she pairs them with a tank top with a loose button up shirt over it that is left unbuttoned to leave her undershirt showing.

Shoes

Blake Lively often wears boots with her casual wear. She prefers tall boots that come up to her knee or higher. Depending on what color she’s wearing, she may wear black or brown leather boots with her outfit. With her black jeans, she often wears high boots that make her legs look even longer and slimmer. Sometimes with jeans she will wear high heeled pumps in either black or any pattern.

She has been seen in many different pairs of high heels with wild patterns on them. Some of these include red with black polka dots and blue with black stripes. Her shoes always get attention, no matter what else she’s wearing. If you have a plain, simple dress, make sure to jazz it up with footwear that will get attention for a classic Blake Lively look.

How to Dress Preppy

Dressing preppy is a classic style that always looks flawless and timeless. If you have a preppy wardrobe, you can wear it anywhere and look sophisticated and well put together. To dress preppy, there are several signature pieces that you need to have in your wardrobe.

Shirts

The classic preppy shirt is the polo shirt. The polo shirt is worn buttoned up most of the time but it can be worn with one button unbuttoned at the top. An oxford shirt is also appropriate for the preppy look. You can wear these long-sleeved or short-sleeved and in just about any color. The most common colors in the preppy look are white, red, blue or green. Pastel shirts are also appropriate for the look.

Sweaters and Blazers

A cardigan or button-up sweater is perfect for the preppy look. The sweater should be kept with you even if it isn’t cold enough to wear it. You can lay the sweater over your shoulders and lock the cuffs around your neck to hold it in place. You can also tie the sweater around your waist with the sleeves in the front for a casual event.

If you do want to wear the sweater, button it up. Make sure the collar of your shirt is showing above the collar of the sweater. Shirts and sweaters should go together in light colors such as a white shirt and a yellow sweater or a pink shirt with a white sweater.

Blazers are also a classic part of the preppy look. Blazers, particularly in tan or beige, will perfect complement any preppy outfit. A blazer can be worn over anything, including over a sweater. A blazer that has patches at the sleeves is a great preppy look. But even without patches, a blazer looks great with a preppy shirt, sweater, pants or skirt in neutral tones.

Pants and Skirts

Khaki and tan are the perfect preppy colors for skirts and pants. A pencil skirt in khaki is perfect with a white button-up shirt and a yellow sweater. Dockers or other tan pants are another great preppy look. They can be paired with a polo shirt for casual occasions and with a dressy shirt and sweater for more formal ones. The pants should be pressed and should have a visible crease on each side.

Plaid, in moderation, is also a great preppy look. Short plaid skirts along with starched white shirts are a classic preppy outfit. Plaid pants are generally not consider preppy, but a plaid scarf or a plaid shirt under a solid colored sweater will work beautifully.

Shoes

The classic footwear for a preppy outfit is loafers. Penny loafers, loafers with fringe and plain brown loafers are the ideal shoes to wear with a preppy outfit. Be sure to wear socks in a neutral color along with the loafers. White socks or a pastel color will go well with the neutral tones of the outfit. The socks should be ankle socks that are folded over neatly and precisely. All aspects of the outfit should stay clean and pressed at all times.

She has been seen many times in simple black dresses.  The dress may be simple, but don’t let that fool you. She tends to choose very simple dresses and then accessorize them with extra layers, jewelry, eye-catching tights and interesting shoes. She might start with a short, black dress and put a bright belt with it, bright tights, a leather jacket and a pair of biker boots.
