White trash

How to Dress Like White Trash

White trash

If you’re invited to a costume party or looking for ideas for Halloween or your school’s spirit week, you may want to consider dressing like white trash. It’s not morally correct to judge a person by their appearance, or label an entire group of people as trash, but if you’re looking for an innovative way to poke fun at stereo-types, dress up like one. It brings consciousness to the stereo-type and is an instant conversation starter.

Dressing like white trash is very easy to do. It requires dedication to your costume, though, because white trash is very much an attitude. The attitude is a study in contrasts. White trash cares deeply about cars, patriotism, and beer. They are very proud. That said, white trash does not care as much about their physical appearance. White trash will wear clothes with stains or tears. They will wear dirty shoes. They are also guilty of not washing their hair every day, which creates a greasy, matted appearance. White trash may or may not care for their teeth.

Women looking to dress in this fashion need to consider tattoos. White trash love tattoos. One of the most popular tattoos is the affectionately named “tramp stamp.” A tramp stamp is a tattoo on the lower back, just above the panty line. It should peak through clothes when you bend over. Some tramp stamps are just decorative laurels, but many of these tattoos spell out a name, usually the name of a boyfriend or husband.

Another popular tattoo spot is over the bosom. White trash women usually sport tattoos on the cleavage. These tattoos are partially visible when wearing tank or tubes tops. Cleavage tattoos are most often flowers, but can also be hearts with a name inscribed. Other popular locations are on the ankles, over the shoulder, on the arm, and on the back of the calf. Whichever tattoo you choose, and you must choose a tattoo, you can buy temporary ones. Of course, you can just get a tattoo and fully commit to the role.

Aside from tattoos, wardrobe is very important. White trash women wear tight clothes, usually creating unflattering ripples and bulges. A good tip is to shop at your local thrift store. You can purchase lots of unbearably tight clothes. Be on special look out for acid washed jeans. These jeans are the lightest blue, or gray. They look overly washed, and tragically 1980s. Make sure the jeans are three sizes too small. This also applies to shorts. White trash loves to wear shorts, especially cut-off jean shorts, and the tighter the better. If you can’t button up the pants, that’s even better.

Shirts are easy. They should be shorter than you’re comfortable with, on the same level with your belly button, so that when you raise your arms, it goes up, and shows your stomach. Make sure to invest in t-shirts with holes in them. Halter tops are also very popular, because they show off skin and tattoos. Never wear a bra.

If you’re a man looking to capture the white trash look, invest in a mullet wig. Mullets are haircuts that look short in the front, but long in the back. Ironically, most of the tips for women also work for men. Tight clothes are a must. Short shirts and shorts are also appropriate. Tattoos, preferably of the rebel flag, are also recommended. You may also want to wear dirty boots, wife beater t-shirts, and leather jackets when you’re going somewhere fancy.

Remember that stereo-types are wrong, but making fun of them is right.

What to Wear to a Greek Orthodox Church

Greek orthodox church

The exact dress code that any one Greek Orthodox Church has will vary from church to church. However, there are a few things to remember when visiting any Greek Orthodox Church. There are several standards of dress that should be met in order to show respect to the church and to its members.

Men’s Clothing

When attending a service in a Greek Orthodox Church, forget wearing shorts or flip-flops. Shorts are not considered to be respectful in these churches, and they should be left at home.

For men, a simple suit is generally the safest thing to wear. Many people wear a full suit, including a jacket and tie. Choose a neutral color to keep the suit looking businesslike and respectful.

In place of a business suit, many Greek Orthodox Churches will allow men to wear a dressy pair of tan or khaki pants with a button-up shirt and a simple tie. Keep the colors neutral and keep the tie pattern simple. Loud ties are generally not appropriate in a Greek Orthodox Church. Make sure the shirt has long sleeves and is in good condition.

Wear shoes that are dressy to match the outfit. Casual loafers may not be appropriate to wear in the church. A dark pair of leather shoes will work with any outfit and are easy to find. Tennis shoes are almost never appropriate for a church service.

Women’s Clothing

For women, there are many options that are appropriate for a Greek Orthodox Church service. The main idea for women’s dress is to keep it modest. Many Greek Orthodox Churches have dress codes that call for modest clothing. To achieve this, remember not to show too much skin. The shoulders cannot be shown in the church, so avoid anything strapless or with thin straps. Keep your tops and dresses high cut and with long sleeves.

Wearing a simple dress is a nice way to show respect to the church. The dress should not be too tight and it should not have a shirt hemline. Keep the dress long, coming to the ankle or to the lower calf.

Many Greek Orthodox Churches have a dress code that specifies that skirts and dresses must come below the knee. Others ask that no leg be shown. If you aren’t sure which is appropriate, it may be best to wear an ankle-length dress or skirt to avoid any embarrassment.

Tennis shoes, flip-flops and stiletto heels are all inappropriate footwear for a Greek Orthodox Church. The shoes should be appropriate to the outfit and should not be too sexy in style. High heels are generally acceptable, but they should be simple in style and not too strappy.

Keep your jewelry and makeup simple when going to a service. Some Greek Orthodox Churches frown upon lipstick being worn if communion is to be taken. Keep makeup simple and neutral and wear only small, understated jewelry. Long, dangly jewelry may bring unneeded attention to yourself. Keep necklaces and earrings small and tasteful in order to keep your look respectful.

Anna Faris

Anna Faris is an eclectic dresser who embraces a wide range of styles. Her many event and photo session dresses reflect a number of interesting looks that all fit into her cute and youthful look.

Dresses

One of the most obvious things about Anna Faris’ style is the style of the dresses she wears to her many movie premiers and other Hollywood events. Her dresses are always fun and unusual compared to many of the other dresses making the rounds at these events. Instead of the tiny, figure-hugging dresses that people are used to seeing on actresses, Anna Faris often chooses dresses that are large and loose fitting.

Some of her dresses have puffy skirts that make her waist look small by comparison. Some of these dresses are high waisted, but she has also been seen in drop-waist dresses. If you look for an Anna Faris’ dress, look for one that has plenty of fabric. A dress that is puffy and made with lots of fabric is the perfect way to get that Anna Faris look.

Many of Anna Faris’ dresses are either strapless or that have an asymmetrical top portion. She has worn several dresses that have only one strap. To get her dress look, find a dress that is in one solid color. Anna Faris almost always wears a solid-colored dress that fits loosely and that is worn with an interesting choice of shoes and jewelry.

Shoes

To get a complete Anna Faris look, wear shoes that don’t quite match the dress you are wearing. One of the unusual features about her style of dressing is that she often chooses shoes that are a contrasting color to her outfits. With a black dress, chose purple high-heeled pumps to get her look. With a purple dress, choose red pumps. With a red dress, wear gray heels. These are all perfect Anna Faris looks that will definitely get noticed.

Anna Faris has been seen many times wearing Christian Louboutin shoes. She prefers close-toed shoes that have a little bit of detail on the side. Look for shoes that have a bow or other styling details on the sides. She wears her Louboutins in every color and to just about any occasion.

Sometimes, Anna Faris will pair a short pair of brown boots with one of her outfits. To get her look, wear calf-height brown leather boots with a short skirt or a knee-length dress to add a little fun to your outfit.

Jewelry

Anna Faris isn’t afraid to mix and match different styles and colors of jewelry. She often mixes silver and gold pieces together, wearing silver earrings, gold bracelets and a gold necklace. If you want to dress like Anna , don’t worry about matching your jewelry- just wear pieces that you like and that you feel comfortable in. Wear two or more necklaces if you wish, and wear earrings that are as large as you like. Anna often wears more than one necklace and has been photographed in several pairs of very large earrings.

Board shorts

What to Wear Under Board Shorts

Leave a reply

Board shorts

Board shorts are a type of swimwear first used for sports requiring a board, namely surfing. The style was originally worn by men, but women have also adopted them. Board shorts are currently very popular even among those who don’t participate in water sports, and can be purchased at a variety of retailers worldwide. They are very comfortable and come in a huge selection of colors and patterns, including classic tropical and Hawaiian prints. Lengths vary, but board shorts are generally longer that other styles of swim shorts, reaching to the knee or just above.

The appeal of the board short lies in the fabric, typically a nylon or polyester weave, which is lighter and faster drying than other types of swimwear fabric. Board shorts made from these materials also tend to be more resistant to wear and tear from a surfboard.

Another difference between board shorts and common swim trunks lies in the waistband. To withstand the force of ocean waves, board shorts have a stiff waistband which is usually fastened at the fly with velcro. Another feature is a lace-up tie at the waist to provide extra insurance against losing bottoms to strong waves.

Traditional board shorts do not have a mesh lining like swim trunks, so if you’re new to surfing or just like the style of board shorts, you need to decide what to wear under them. Here are the options:

1.    Nothing. Lots of folks go commando with board shorts. Most styles are long so the chance of flashing the world is reduced. However, some wearers find that they experience chafing and irritation of the skin due to the lack of lining. The velcro fly can also get tangled in hair “down there,” so consider looking for styles that don’t use velcro at the waistband. If you will be out of the water enjoying other activities while wearing your board shorts, it’s probably a good idea to wear something underneath to avoid an unwanted show.

2.    Tidy whities. Underwear briefs are another option to wear under board shorts, but the cotton material will sag with water weight and will not dry as quickly as the shorts, leaving you with a long-term wet butt. If you prefer the fit of briefs but not the wet look, consider wearing a pair of swim briefs under your shorts.

3.    Boxers. Those who don’t like briefs can opt for boxers. Regular cotton boxers will likely bunch up when wet, so try a quick-drying version from Underarmour like the Boxerjock. The breathable fabric will dry quickly and allow skin to breathe.

4.    Biker-style Lycra shorts. Another option that will prevent chafing and dry quickly. Because these styles are designed for athletes, they will also move easily with your body and can be worn alone if necessary.

5.    Bikini bottoms. If you’re a girl who’s not comfortable going bare under your board shorts, a pair of bikini bottoms underneath will provide the coverage you need. They will also dry at the same rate as your board shorts.

Layered shirts

T-shirts are a fun part of any wardrobe. You can use them in a variety of ways to easily spice up your wardrobe. They are an inexpensive way to add color to an outfit and change the look of it. They easily work in casual situations, as well as more structured ones. One of the fun things about T-shirts is how well they work for layering. In fact most layered looks include at least one tee. Many people even opt to layer two shirts over each other for a variety of reasons.

Often times, layering is simply in order to stay dry and warm. By doubling up with two short sleeve T-shirts, the under layer will keep sweat away from your body, while the upper layer will serve to keep you warm and comfortable. This is a very useful technique for those who exercise outside. Opt for lightweight, non-cotton tees as the layer next to the skin.

Some people have a problem with excess perspiration and wear two T-shirts at once to deal with the problem. By layering, the under T-shirt tends to hold the worst of the sweat and the individual can still give the appearance of being dry and confident with the outer tee.

Some people layer in order to get more wear out a favorite T-shirt or one that needs to be worn often. Whether you have a T-shirt for work, a special event or some other reason that needs to be worn regularly, you will be able to get away with washing it less often if you layer another T-shirt under it. Typically our T-shirts need to go in the washer because we have worn it next to our skin and it has absorbed oils and odors. However, with T-shirt layering, the under shirt is the one that gets the dirt. This works great as long as you don’t do something to get the outer layer dirty too.

Sometimes individuals choose to layer T-shirts if the shirt next to the skin is see through. With age some T-shirts wear out to a point that you can see through them easily. Other shirts are transparent even when new. If you are uncomfortable wearing such shirts but still love the style, feel or design of the tee and want to wear it, a good option is to layer it under other T-shirts.

Many people simply love the look of 2 layered T-shirts and wear them as a part of their personal fashion style. It allows you to easily throw in a touch of color to your outfit or to create a fun color combination in your clothes that stands out. Layering T-shirts in the two colors of your favorite sports team is a popular layering style.

Seth Rogen

Seth Rogen is a casual dresser who has perfected the geek-chic look with a variety of casual and dress looks that have an unhurried, comfortable look. To get his look for casual dressing probably won’t require buying a lot of new clothes. Most people have the basic pieces of Seth Rogen’s look in their wardrobe already. It’s just a matter of putting them together the right way to create the look that Seth Rogen has made famous.

Shirts

When you start your Seth Rogen look, start with the layered t-shirt and over shirt look. The t-shirt should be either a light or dark color like dark blue, deep red or purple. The over shirt should be a button-up shirt with a geek-chic pattern on it. One of the ones that he wears most often is a shirt with gray or blue vertical stripes on a white background.

Leave one top button on the over shirt undone so that the very top if your t-shirt shows over the striped shirt. Keep both the t-shirt and the over shirt untucked, even if the t-shirt is longer than the over shirt. This is a real Seth Rogen look that gives the outfit a very casual, unplanned appearance.

Jeans

If you want a real Seth Rogen look, wear your most comfortable pair of jeans. You don’t have to buy a designer pair of jeans to get his look. Any brand of jeans will do. Just make sure that the pair you choose will fit loosely. Seth Rogen’s jeans always have a high waist, and they always fit loosely. If your jeans are faded, this will be an even better Seth Rogen look. Many of his jeans are faded and have some frayed edges. While he doesn’t wear jeans that are torn up or stained, he does wear jeans that look very lived in.

Suits

Though he is mostly known for his casual look, he also wears suits when the occasion calls for it. The suits he wears follow in his geek-chic pattern, borrowing from retro styles and out-of-fashion colors. This look relies on the vintage style that is gaining in popularity with young Hollywood men.

Instead of a modern suit with narrow lapels and a dark blue or gray color, choose a dark brown color that borrows its styling from the suits of the 70s. The lapels should be wide, just like suits from the 70s, and it should be loose fitting.

You may be able to find a vintage suit that has all of this styling. Look for one that is about one size larger than you would normally wear in order to get the loose-fitting look that Seth Rogen wears. Wear dark brown or black leather shoes with your suit.

When you choose your tie, the 70s are also the guiding style. Choose wide vintage or vintage-style ties that have diagonal stripes. Look for ties that have brown and gold or brown and green stripes in order to get an authentic Seth Rogen look.

Khaki pants

What to Wear with Khaki Pants

Leave a reply

Khaki pants

Khaki pants are one of those wonderful fashion staples that you can always count on. While the style of khaki pants may change slightly now and then, such as flat-fronts versus pleats or fitted versus loose, it’s safe to say that khakis will never be shunned from the modern casual wardrobe.

The word “khaki” can refer to both the fabric and the color of the fabric. The term came into the English language via India, and has its roots in a Hindi word meaning “dust-colored” or “earth-colored.” The British Indian Army adopted khaki uniforms for service in the mid- to late-1800’s due to the material’s lightweight texture and cooling properties. The first khaki fabrics were a blend of cotton and linen that were light tan in color, but darker shades later became popular as well. Khaki is now the official uniform of military forces around the world, including the United States Navy and the United States Marine Corps, as well as many police forces worldwide.

Khaki is also the informally adopted uniform for business casual wearers everywhere. It’s an easy, comfortable style that goes with just about anything. Here are some ideas for how to wear khaki and look stylish while doing it.

•    For a relaxed business casual look, pair your khaki pants with a button-up oxford-type shirt or a classic collared polo shirt. Add a coordinating belt and you’re ready to go in style.

•    Another idea for classic business casual is to pair your khakis with a crisp, white dress shirt with the sleeves rolled up. Leave the tie at home, and you’ll be both chic and comfortable. Don’t forget a nice belt, and be sure to match your shoes with your belt color.

•    Khakis are available in many more styles than just pants. Try khaki shorts, cropped pant khakis, Bermuda shorts and skirts for ultimate versatility.

•    Don’t wear the classic tan khaki exclusively. Khakis come in a wide range of colors, including olive, brown, green and navy. Experiment with different styles of khakis in various colors.

•    Polish your khaki by adding preppy items such as a v-neck sweater and a blazer. The look will offer a hint of schoolboy charm while still being classy enough for work or a nice restaurant.

•    As with any nice pant, avoid wearing white socks with your khakis, especially white socks with sandals. This will scream geek. Instead, choose socks that are the same shade as your shoes so they will blend well.

•    The type of shoes you wear can go a long way toward making your khakis appear casual or dressy. Wear leather loafers with your khakis when the dress is business casual. A dark brown loafer will almost always look great with khakis, while black can be worn with a black shirt and black belt. To dress down your khakis, wear them with a pair of canvas sneakers.

•    Women can pair khakis with a pretty blouse and casual sandals for running errands, while men may pair a casual khaki pant or shorts with a nice t-shirt and sandals. However, ladies should avoid high heels and other dressy shoes when wearing khakis as they are not meant to be dressed up too much.

Opera

What to Wear to the Opera

Opera

For most minds, the word “opera” conjures up images of corseted women and barrel-chested men belting out glass-shattering notes on a massive stage. The performance of opera has a long and rich history, with music and stories that dazzle and move their audiences to tears. Because the first opera audiences were primarily wealthy European aristocrats, dress at the opera was always lavishly formal and meant to impress. The tendency to dress formally to attend an opera performance continues today, though the attire of opera attendees can vary widely.

If you are attending an opera for the first time, do not be intimidated by the thought of looking out-of-place or clueless. While the attire of most attendees leans toward dressy, attending the opera nowadays is much like attending a movie. Attire can range from jeans to business casual to full-blown formal with tuxedos and ball gowns.

When deciding what to wear to the opera, the first consideration is the date. If you will be attending on the opening night of a particular opera or any special gala event, the dress will tend toward black tie or very nice dress clothes. This will be not only a cultural event, but a social function as well, so expect fellow opera patrons to be stepping out with glitz and glamour. Tuxedos will be common among the men, while women will likewise dress in elegant cocktail dresses or evening gowns. This will be the time to show off the very best your closet has to offer.

Another consideration is whether the opera house you will be attending has a specific dress code for patrons. Most do not, but it is always wise to check prior to the date you will be in attendance. Visit the venue’s website for information, or consult your ticket information. For example, the Royal Opera House in London states, “There is no dress code for visitors to the Royal Opera House. Informal evening wear is the most adopted attire but is not a requirement.”

To get the most enjoyment out of the evening, consider your own preferences. Are you and your spouse wanting to experience an extra-special evening on the town? Dressing up will add extra sparkle to your night out, since most people rarely have the opportunity to dress in formal attire. For a bit more comfort, opt for a semi-formal outfit such as a sports jacket and slacks for a man, and a nice blouse and dress slacks, skirt or dress for ladies. However, if you detest wearing a suit and tie, or high heels and pantyhose, then opt for whatever you are most comfortable in. If you prefer jeans and don’t mind that other audience members might consider you underdressed, then wear whatever you like and enjoy the performance in comfort.

However you choose to dress for the opera, be sure to wear clothing that is comfortable to sit in. Operas can be quite lengthy, and you will be sitting for the majority of the evening.

70

When dressing in your 70s, you may be more concerned with comfort than most other issues. You likely already have your own personal style but may wonder whether you are expressing it well. For the most part, as long as you’re comfortable and your colors aren’t too bright, you are generally age appropriate at 70.

Jeans

Jeans are a good, comfortable thing to wear at 70. Because people at 70 tend to carry a lot of weight around their middles, you may find that high-waisted jeans are far more comfortable than many other styles. Generally, dark jeans are considered more age appropriate than lighter colored jeans. But, this is not always the case. If you are wearing a light-colored top on a summer evening, go ahead wear the light jeans.

Quality Accessories

While the rest of your outfit may be for comfort, your accessories can be just for fun. At 70, many people invest in a few very high-quality items that will always look good with anything and that will last a long time. A good quality handbag, even if it very trendy, is a great statement about your own style. Designers like Fendi and Prada make high-quality bags with classic looks that are perfect at any age.

Having one or two very nice pieces of jewelry is also recommended at 70. These show off your taste as being impeccable. They can be worn with anything from a track suit to a business suit.

High-quality shoes are particularly important when you are in your 70s. Shoes that are comfortable and that support your arches are important for staying active. In most cases, a stylish pair of leather shoes that are very high quality can make a lot of difference in how you feel and the way your outfit looks. Even if you are dressed very casually, a stylish pair of shoes can work wonders for your mood and for your outfit.

Flattering the Face

A main principle of dressing in your 70s is to draw attention to your face. This can be done with interesting necklines that are not low-cut but not straight and boring. Some lace at the top or an interesting shape cut into the collar can bring the eye upward to your face. This can also be done by wearing some interesting jewelry. A sparkly necklace with some sparkly earrings will definitely bring everyone’s attention upward to your face.

You may also want to put emphasis on your hands. Having sparkly rings and bracelets and an interesting detail or two on your cuffs will bring the attention to your hands. Pair this with a brightly-colored manicure and you have made your outfit flattering.

At 70, don’t feel badly about spending a lot on your clothes. High quality clothes will look best on you and 70 is the best time to buy those clothes. Stay away from the cheaper clothes that you might have bought before and concentrate on ones that will resist wear and keep looking stylish.

One of the looks that immediately mark an outfit as something that Kelly Clarkson would wear is a tank top with black fishnet over it. Black fishnet is featured in many of her looks, including fishnet stockings and a black fishnet shirt worn over a black bikini top.

T-Shirts

Camis are one of the many types of shirts that Kelly Clarkson wears regularly. Her camis are always small and tightly fitting. For a stage show, she often opts for a black cami that is dressed up with lots of jewelry and other accessories.

When she’s dressed down for a casual day of errands, Kelly Clarkson often wears t-shirts that are tight fitting along with a casual pair or jeans or khaki pants. Her t-shirts are often in neutral colors such as various shades of beige, white or black. She also loves to wear band t-shirts that promote her favorite groups. To get her look, wear a black t-shirt that has your favorite band’s logo on the front. Pair the t-shirt with a pair of distressed, light blue jeans. Because she sometimes wears ripped jeans, you can tear your jeans across the knees or just above the knee to copy her look.

Gloves

Another of her 80’s retro accessories is her fingerless gloves. She often wears these in black when she is performing, and she has been photographed at dressy events wearing these accessories as well. If these gloves are hard to find, get a pair of black driving gloves and cut off the fingers.

Dresses

Kelly Clarkson is known for her amazing dresses. Though she is more often seen wearing her casual or stage outfits, she always shines in long, formal dresses. To find a dress that looks like Kelly Clarkson’s style, look for a dress in a neutral color. She wears long dresses in beige, light khaki and off-white. Make sure the dress has an interesting shape, such as tiers of fabric or an unusual waistline.

Kelly Clarkson’s dresses are never boring, and the dress you choose should have a simple neckline but a dramatic shape elsewhere. The dress can either have short sleeves or it may be strapless.  Wear the strappiest pair of heels you can find with your Kelly Clarkson-style dress. Find a pair with an ankle strap and a strap across the toes if you can. She has worn shoes with this style many times for formal occasions and in promotional photos.

Belts

Kelly Clarkson often wears belts on stage and in her personal life. She prefers wide belts that get attention. Sometimes, she wears a large belt buckle in the front as an extra accessory. The belt itself can be metallic and have a chain pattern, or it may have a basket weave design. Sometimes her belts are plain leather belts with an oval belt buckle to dress them up.

What Are the Best Shirts for Breastfeeding?

Breastfeeding

For breastfeeding, comfort and ease of access are the key elements that make a shirt one that will make the process of breastfeeding easier. In order to achieve comfort and access, there are several styles that work well while breastfeeding.

The main issue for many breastfeeding mothers is to have something that will allow them quick and easy access without revealing too much to strangers or to other family members. A large t-shirt that fits loosely can be easily pulled up when it’s time to feed without exposing too much. To get the size large enough, aim for at least two sizes larger than you would normally wear.

Other options include shirts that are specially made for breastfeeding mothers. These shirts sometimes have a panel across the front that can be lifted up for easy, direct access. These panel shirts often have a loose panel that covers a slit across the bust to allow the baby’s head and the bust to be covered by the panel, hiding the feeding from view. These shirts are perfect for wearing out in public and in private.

Some breastfeeding shirts have buttons across the front to allow the shirt to be opened when it’s time to feed. Sometimes the buttons are covered by a panel of fabric to hide the opening, and sometimes the buttons function like a sideways version of a button-up shirt. It may be necessary to use two hands to undo these shirts, however, making it harder to get access if you are holding the baby. These shirts also may not be as discrete as shirts that have a flat to hide the baby’s head while feeding.

Other breastfeeding shirts are wrap shirts that can be unwrapped in order to allow feeding. The wrap shirt usually wraps to one side, allowing one side at a time to be opened by pulling back the wrap. These are often good choices for mothers with small busts, but they may not provide sufficient support for other mothers, and they don’t offer a discrete panel that will hide the baby’s feeding.

A tank top is a great type of shirt to wear while breastfeeding because the top is easy to pull down for baby’s feedings. The tank top should fit loosely so that it’s easy to pull down one side of the tank top with one hand, if necessary. These are often comfortable to wear at home for feedings, but they may not be the best items to wear in public for breastfeeding, as they will reveal the bust during feedings.

Another style is the tie-front breastfeeding shirt. These shirts have a slit across the bust that is hidden by two panels that are tied together in the front of the shirt. When the shirt is ties, it looks like a fashionable shirt with an interesting waistline. But when the panels are untied, the mother has easy access for breastfeeding. These are good for feeding either in private or in public because the feeding can be hidden by the panels.

Dresses

Hayden Panettiere wears a lot of dresses. She wears them almost exclusively to her events and photo opportunities, rarely opting for slacks for those occasions. To get her dressy look, wear a brightly colored dress with a wide belt. Hayden Panettiere knows how great she looks in red, and it has become a signature color for the young star. To get her look, try a dress in bright red and use dark accessories to set off the brightness of the red.

One of Hayden Panettiere’s favorite ways to do this is to make everything else in her outfit black to make the red that much more eye-catching. Wear a pair of black shoes with a black belt and small black earrings to really set off the color of your dress.

When you choose your Hayden Panettiere dress, keep it simple. Choose one that has a low-cut neckline but that is simple in style and shape. Let the color do all the talking for your dress. Choose a dress that is about knee length of slightly longer to get the full Hayden Panettiere look.

Shoes

Hayden Panettiere loves the high heeled, pointy-toe shoe look that is so popular in shoes right now. To get this look, choose a plain pair of high heels in a dark color, especially in black. Make sure the shoes have the pointiest toes that you can in order to capture the look. Her shoes are usually one color and free from any sparkles or other adornments.

Sometimes, Hayden Panettiere wears peep-toe high heels in metallic colors. Some of these shoes have an ankle strap. If you’re wearing a light colored-dress, try a pair of gold, strappy high heels with a pep-toe front to get this look.

Roman-style sandals are also a favorite of Hayden Panettiere. They can be worn in either brown or in gold to get her casual look. She has been seen several times in a pair of Miu Miu gold gladiator sandals. She often wears this style of sandal along with a long skirt or a pair of dark pants.

Accessories

The place where Hayden Panettiere really shows her fun side is in her accessories. If you want to get her look, try jewelry with a lot of color and personality.

Top 10 Fashion Trends of 2009

2009

Fashion trends for 2009 include a rainbow of delicious colors, exotic prints, interesting fabrics and bold accessories. With most buyers scaling down their clothing budgets due to a tightened economy, fashion is becoming very focused. Make the most of your wardrobe dollars by choosing a few quality garments and accessories that capture the essence of 2009 fashion.

1.    Vibrant colors. In an effort to cheer a somewhat gloomy outlook, vibrant, electric, delicious colors are pulsing through the fashion scene. Fuchsia, electric blue, bright lemon yellow, vivid citrus greens, and deep purples top the list of popular colors. Soft pastels are also making a showing, so if you aren’t quite ready for the neons, try a garment in lavender or dusty rose. Slate Grey is one of the few neutrals currently seen on the runways, and is elegant for daytime or evening wear.

2.    The dress. Dresses are everywhere, especially those with asymmetric looks. Designs tend to be more modest and offer greater coverage than the previous strapless trends. The one-shoulder dress is a top pick for evening wear, as worn by First Lady Michelle Obadiah at the Inaugural Ball. Other dress styles include those with draped Grecian designs, full-length maxi dresses and 60’s inspired A-lines.

3.    Exotic patterns and materials. This year exotic prints, animal prints and tribal-inspired designs are everywhere, giving fashion fans lots of variety to choose from. The tribal motif continues on shoes and accessories with accents such as bead work, lots of fringe, and Southwest color palettes.

4.    Sheer fabrics. Sheer fabrics have quickly risen to become a leading trend. Fortunately for the average wearer, this style isn’t about baring it all, but more about adding interest and elegance to a look. Sheers are draped, flowing and layered.

5.    Jumpsuits. Believe it or not, the Dynasty-era women’s jumpsuit is back in a big way. Current styles include both fitted and drape cuts in a huge variety of fabrics and prints. Add a wide belt for instant chic.

6.    Harem pants. MC Hammer would fit right in with the current harem pant craze. This super comfortable look features a very loose cut through the thigh and crotch area, then gradually tapers to the knee, ankle or leg. It can be paired with just about any shoe, from sandals to boots.

7.    Statement jewelry. Jewelry is big and bold, and includes everything you could find at a vintage shop: chunky necklaces, exotic bangles and bracelets, massive rings and costume brooches.

8.    Accents such as flowers and bows. Feminine touches include pretty 3D floral accents at the shoulder, waistline and hem. Ruffles and bows are another recurring theme, particularly along hemlines. These girl accents also adorn accessories.

9.    An emphasis on the shoulder and sleeve. Eye-catching accents are everywhere on clothing these days, especially at the shoulder. Shoulders are receiving a lot of attention from the fashion world as the one-shoulder design peaks in popularity. Puffed, leg of mutton, bating, cap and kimono … regardless of what they’re called, sleeves are also hot.

10.    Daring shoes. Mile-high heels in interesting colors and textures, along with the bold gladiator sandal, are back this season.

Kristin Cavallari

Kristin Cavallari is well known for her enviable style. She has a style that reflects her beach-going lifestyle that so many people want to capture. The look is laid back but stylish at the same time.

Tops

Like her laid-back lifestyle, her tops are no-fuss shirts that aren’t too tightly fitting. The tops are usually in easy-going colors like light gray and pastels. She also wears a lot of white shirts that are loose and low cut. The shirts should be slightly too large but they should still show the shape of the figure. She chooses shirts that are made from clingy fabrics to make this look possible.

She is also known for her sheer tops. She famously wore a sheer black top that was worn with a white bra under it. This look got her plenty of attention and it’s easy to emulate. This look can also be worn in reverse, with a sheer white top and a black bra worn under it. To get this look, make sure the bra color contrasts enough so that it will be visible under the shirt.

A white tank top is another simple look that Kristin Cavallari is known for. A simple tank top can be dressed up with an over shirt or it can be worn on its own for a seaside look. She sometimes builds on the tank top look by wearing a white tank top that has more detailed styling on it. A shirt that has ruffles or lace on it is a perfect Kristin Cavallari shirt.

Skirts

Kristin Cavallari wears a lot of denim skirts as a part of her laid-back look. It’s an easy style that can be found anywhere and goes with everything. It’s the kind of look that can be thrown on as you run down to the beach. The skirts can be paired with anything that is loose fitting and low cut. If the tops have an interesting neckline with a contrasting color at the neckline or some extra details there, the look will be complete.

Another hot look that she often wears is a simple white skirt. A white skirt evokes images of easy-going times at the beach, and it can be paired with anything at all for a cohesive look. Keep the white skirt short for a flirty look.

Jewelry

Kristin Cavallari almost always wears jewelry. In keeping with her breezy style, the jewelry should be small and should be gold in color. Look for simple gold necklaces and one thin gold bracelet. If you wear earrings, keep those small as well.

Handbags

To get her handbag look, go for designer looks made form black leather. She loves to wear a large, slouchy leather bag in black. She usually pairs the black handbag with a pair of black shoes, sometimes in black leather to more closely match the style of the handbag. Keep the handbag large to match the current style of huge handbags. The straps should be short and the bag is carried over the arm rather than on the shoulder.

Movie clothes

When you watch a movie, often you see fantastic outfits that you immediately want to add to your very own wardrobe. They are often unique, cutting edge, stylish ensembles put together by professional stylists who have made a career from fashion. The looks we see in the movies are often things we would never think to put together or brand new styles for the coming season. When we leave the movie theatre, the problem is finding the clothes we fell in love with on the big screen.

In order to track down the movie clothes you want, your search should begin online. Do a Google search for the name of the movie and the word style or fashion. You will be amazed at how many celebrity watch sites exist to help provide you with the information you are looking for. They will tell you what designers were worn during the movie, where you can buy knock-offs to copy the look and more.

You will be surprised to learn that many of the styles you see in the movies can be found in many common mall stores, at consignment shops and from online retailers. Even though there are movies where the outfits are completely designer duds, these are by far the exception rather than the rule. Stylists charged with outfitting a crew of actors with multiple ensembles must do so, on a budget. Therefore they must scour every option for creating great looks at good prices. That means, you can do so too.

Another way to find out where to buy clothing you saw in a movie is to do a search for the actor or actress who wore the item. Often clothing worn during a movie becomes the property of the actor or actress who donned it. Finding buying information for clothing that a particular actor or actress wears is quite easy. There are numerous websites that are devoted to following the fashion styles of celebrities. Such sites will provide links to other sites where you can buy the item in question or you may even be able to buy directly from the fashion website.

When you see clothing in a movie that greatly appeals to you, make a note of exactly what it looked like or draw a picture of it, if you are gifted artistically. Then bring your description to stores that are likely to carry the style you are looking for. Nordstrom, Urban Outfitters, Banana Republic and many other stores are common places for stylists to visit in their search for wardrobes. Salespeople in such stores will be pleased to help you find the look you are seeking.

Armed with a good description of the outfit or item you are looking for, you may also do an online search. Don’t be too specific and keep key words short in your search. You may just be surprised at how many hits you will get for the item you are looking to buy.  If you have fallen in love with a certain movie look, take heart. There are numerous options you have available to you to help you find the articles of clothing you are looking for.

How to Dress for My Body Type

Body type

The way you dress should be influenced by the shape of your body. Your body shape is the biggest indicator of what you should be wearing. To understand your own shape and what will look best on it, you need to know what kind of body shape you actually have. There are four types of body shapes and each one has its own best clothing styles that will flatter it.

Apple Shapes

A person with an apple shape has more weight on their upper body than their lower body. They carry some extra weight, and that weight is generally carried around their middle. If this is your shape, then you need to choose clothing that will not cling to your figure. There are clothing styles that will skim over your stomach instead of making it more noticeable. Something with an empire waist will emphasize your bust while skimming over your stomach. Draw attention to your legs by wearing short skirts or skirts and pants that are brightly colored with a dark colored top.

Pear Shapes

You are a pear shape if you have more weight around your thighs and hips. The result is a torso that is shaped like a pear. If you have a pear shape, you need to try to balance your shape to make yourself look larger on top. This will de-emphasize your hips and thighs. Choose tops with wide neck lines to help create this balance. Stay away from any shirt that fits too tightly. This will make your upper body look smaller. Wear a brighter color on top than you do on bottom to help the eye balance the two. This will draw the eye upward and take the attention away from your problem areas.

Hourglass Shapes

A person with an hourglass shape is someone who has a full bust as well as full hips with a defined waist in the middle. If you have this shape, it’s easy to make yourself look heavier by wearing items that are not tailored well. If you wear something with a very high neckline, it can make you look for heavier than something with a scoop neck. You should also try to wear something that has a waistline in it. If you don’t have anything with a tailored waistline, wear a belt to show off your waist. Stay away from clothes that are too baggy to stiff because they can add bulk to your figure and make you look heavier.

Rectangle Shapes

Someone with a rectangle shape has a straight shape that is not very curvy. Their weight is distributed very evenly without any real problem areas. The challenge with the rectangle shape is to make it look as if you have a defined waist and a larger bust. You may also want it to look like you have larger hips. To do this, wear items that define areas of your figure rather than making everything look the same. A top that is low-cut and draws attention to the bust will make your bust look larger, while an item that has a waist feature such as a tailored waist or a belt will make your waist look smaller.

Justin Timberlake

Justin Timberlake prides himself as being a trend-setting dresser among his peers. In addition to sparking some of the trends often seen on young Hollywood star, he also has his own clothing line. To get started wearing Justin Timberlake’s look, take a look at his clothing designs, called William Rast. The clothing line is mainly known for its high-dollar jeans with a V mark on the back pocket. The line also has jackets and many styles of tops to choose from.

To get further into Justin Timberlake’s personal style, start wearing some of the trends that he made famous. One of the things he is proud of doing is starting the trucker hat craze that swept Holly wood and then the rest of the country. Look for a trucker hat when any saying on it, particularly vintage hats that have John Deere or other commercial logos on them. Pair the trucker hat with a pair of faded jeans and a vintage t-shirt for a complete Justin Timberlake look.

If the trucker hat look isn’t something you’d like to wear, try wearing a fedora instead. A short-brimmed fedora in either a dark color or in white or beige will evoke the famous look that Justin Timberlake has been wearing for years. He often pairs a dark fedora with a hooded shirt or a t-shirt. One of his famous looks is a white fedora that is worn with a white suit. To get this look, pair a thin black tie with a white suit, complete with a white vest. Then, top it off with a white fedora with a black band over the brim.
Justin Timberlake is often seen wearing designer jeans with a t-shirt and a hooded sweatshirt over it. This is a casual look that he seems most comfortable in, and wearing this outfit is an easy way to get his everyday look.

Sneakers

No matter what he has on, Justin Timberlake is wearing sneakers. Whether he’s wearing one of his suits, a stage outfit for performing or one of his casual outfits, he always has on a matching pair of sneakers. To get his style, just keep up with the very latest sneakers and make sure the color goes with your outfit. Stock up with dozens of pairs and wear them with everything.

Vests

Justin Timberlake has always been a big fan of vests. They dress up otherwise casual outfits and make dressy outfits look more interesting and unique. Justin Timberlake wears vests over t-shirts, over sweatshirts and always wears them with his suits. One of his dressy looks is to wear a thin, straight tie in black or navy blue and to pair it with a gray vest and a pair of dressy pants. Sometimes the pants match the vest and other times he chooses pants that coordinate but that aren’t the same color. If you were to pair this look with one of Justin Timberlake’s trademark fedoras, there would be little doubt that it’s Justin Timberlake’s style you’re emulating.
