Top 10 Dorky Clothes Items

Leave a reply

Looking your best is important. That’s why fashion is a popular topic. There are books, TV shows, magazines, radio programs, blogs and much more devoted to just that. With your clothes you make a definite impression on others and therefore you need to know exactly what type of impression each item actually makes. If you are a dork and revel in the fact, you will want to know what clothing is dorky, so you can wear it. If you strive to avoid looking like a dork, you will want to avoid dorky clothes. Below is a listing of the top 10 dorky clothes items that everyone should be aware of.

1.    Socks with individual toes. There is no good reason to wear these things, other than to look dorky.
2.    Pants that are just too short to be pants and not short enough to be capris are dorky.
3.    Anything in adult size clothes that has layers of ruffles is dorky.
4.    Socks and sandals or flip flops always spell dork.
5.    Any clothes that have seasonal decorations all over them are dorky.
6.    White tube socks that are worn with colored pants, or using white tube socks as a fashion staple. They definitely are not fashionable.
7.    Suspenders are always dorky, no questions asked. Leave them for Santa Claus.
8.    Shiny clothes and overly bright clothing is out.
9.    Poorly fitting T-shirts are dorky. T-shirts that are too long, too short, too small or much too large are never a good wardrobe choice.
10.    T-shirts that tell that you are a dork are rather dorky. We can usually see that for ourselves.

Whether or not you are trying to break free of a dorky image or you want to embrace it, you can do so in custom-made T-shirts. With a custom-made tee you get to choose the color (think not too flashy if you don’t want to be a dork), the weight of the fabric, the style of the shirt and the quality of it. As with most things, the higher quality ones will be pricier.  When you have chosen the shirt you want you then can get anything you choose printed on it to make an individual statement.

Some undorky things to print on a T-shirt include:
–    your heritage
–    your beliefs
–    a message to support a cause
–    the fact that you are proud of someone
–    things you love, as long as they are not dorky activities.

Some totally dorky things to have printed on a custom tee include:
–    anything about dorks, including the fact that you are one
–    information about dorky hobbies like stamp collecting, gaming or playing the bagpipes
–    anything about how hot you are.

Luckily for many dorks, it has become pretty popular to focus on being a dork. Many people are actually starting to come clean with the fact that they love dorks. So relax and enjoy it. This is your moment.

Get a dorky custom-made T-shirt and flaunt your dorkiness or that you love a dork.

What To Do If Your Shirt Neck Is Too Big?

Leave a reply

Finding the perfect sized T-shirt is often a problem. Many people find that they are given customized T-shirts that they are expected to wear for a variety of reasons and those T-shirts rarely fit well. Yet, what do you do with a free T-shirt or a shirt that is for a special event and everyone else is wearing it? One of the most common problems with one-size-fits-all T-shirts and ones that are bulk-ordered without specific sizes in mind is that the shirt neck is often too big.

One of the best solutions is to wear an undershirt under your T-shirt. You can match up the color of the oversized T-shirt with an undershirt of the same color for a seamless look. You can also opt for a contrasting color so the layering stands out more and gives you a stand out from the crowd look. By putting another shirt under the one you need or want to wear, women can cover up sufficiently to avoid a risqué look or in the case of men, too much chest hair showing.

If you are in a situation where time is a premium and you don’t have an undershirt to wear or can’t wear it for some reason, double-sided tape will also solve your problem. Simply position the T-shirt as it looks best, tuck it in to keep it taut and gently place double sided tape inside the shirt so it adheres in strategic places to your skin and the shirt. This way the neckline doesn’t shift and overexpose you.

Since the biggest problem with a shirt neck that is too big is the risk of it moving and showing you off too much, anything you can do to help tighten it overall so that is doesn’t move is helpful. Tie a knot in the end of the shirt to get it under control. You can also put a clamp-style paper clip on the back.

How to Dress Like Indiana Jones

1 Reply

Indiana Jones has been a style icon for decades. Who else can accessorize with a bullwhip and still look like a cultured adventurer? His style is well known throughout the world for its iconic look. Anyone can get this look for a day of adventuring or even just a day spent doing nothing special.

The Hat

The man with the hat, as he is sometimes known, is very rarely seen without his fedora. It’s almost a character all its own in his movies, and no Indiana Jones outfit would be complete without one. His fedora is a brown leather hat with a thick brown band through the middle. It should be well weathered if you want to get the true Indy look down.

The Boots

Indiana Jones’ boots are made by a company called Alden, and they are the epitome of old-fashioned charm and quality. These are the boots that he wore in the films, and they are perfect for tromping through the jungle as well as sitting at a sidewalk café. No matter what Indiana Jones is doing, he is always at home in these thick leather boots. The color of the Indy boot that is now manufactured by Alden is slightly lighter in color than the ones on the movies, but the style is the same and the color is similar.

The Jacket

Indiana Jones’ looks would be incomplete without a thick leather jacket. He always wore a brown jacket that went with the rest of his brown and khaki clothing to create a complete look. This jacket is a consumer version of the original Indiana Jones leather jacket and is a perfect replica of the one worn in the movies. The original jacket that was worn has changed slightly throughout the movies and was in a noticeably different style in the last movie. The original jacket, however, does remain an iconic look that is necessary for any realistic Indiana Jones outfit.

Shirts and Pants

Indiana Jones stuck to a strict uniform of light khaki and browns. He usually wore a light khaki shirt that was a good fit for his brown pants and brown jacket. A similar shirt can be found from many designers as a part of a safari collection. The color khaki is popular enough in current clothing lines to make these plentiful. Stores like The Gap and Banana Republic often have plenty of khaki shirts and brown pants that would be suitable for an Indiana Jones outfit. Just look for the lighter khakis or tans rather than the more olive-toned shirts.

The brown pants that you choose should fit well without being too tight. Tight pants can make it hard to run across collapsing bridges and swing from ropes. The pants should have a slight break when you are sitting. They should not be so high that any ankle will be exposed when you are performing athletic maneuvers. They were made out of wool twill for the movies but a thick pair of cotton pants should serve as a suitable facsimile.

How to dress like you are from the 1950s

Leave a reply

By the 1950s, the world finally started to catch a break. Things were starting to go well. The conflicts of the early 20th century were over. Well, they were sort of over. But officially, World War II had ended and soldiers finally got to come home and resume their lives. You could say that the 1950s were happier days.

However, the 1950s have become the topic of more than one joke. We all like to poke fun about the way things were back in the 1950s. Wives enjoyed household appliances, readymade foods, and vacuuming in heels. Every household had two children, one boy and one girl, a white picket fence, and a great life. For once, people actually had a chance to sink their teeth into that American dream.

Indeed, things were finally simple again in the 1950s. However, the fashions were anything but simple. The 1950s were one of the greatest eras for American fashion and everyone loves a chance to dress up as a 1950s teenager.

At some point in their life, almost every girl has made a poodle skirt out of hot glue and felt. Guys have jumped at the chance to put on a pair of tight jeans, a cool leather jacket, and grease their hair. If only they could still hang around the soda shop and drive around in cool 1950s style cars.

That’s one of the greatest things about 1950s fashion. It’s so easy to recreate. All a girl needs is a cute pair of saddle oxford shoes, some felt, a t-shirt and red lipstick. All a guy needs is a t-shirt, a leather jacket with a popped collar, and some hair grease. Voila! After a few minutes in the craft room, you’ll be ready for your first 1950s high school dance.
You might think that the basis of 1950s fashion is the poodle skirt, the apron, or the leather jacket. But in reality, the building block for 1950s fashion is the t-shirt. People in the 1950s wanted the free and easy life and the t-shirt became a staple in American fashion. Guys wore them; girls wore them tucked in to their flouncy skirts. The 1950s were a great era for t-shirts.

Nowadays, it’s easier than ever to get your hands on a great t-shirt. T-shirts are as popular now as they’ve ever been. The nightly family dinners and the twin beds might not have stayed with us, but the 1950s t-shirt has remained. You can’t dress like you’re from the 1950s without a great t-shirt.

Truly great t-shirts aren’t easy to find these days. The best way to get a great t-shirt is to make one yourself. You can get a whole collection of awesome t-shirts when you have them custom printed. Specially designing your own 1950s style t-shirts is a unique and creative way to get that 1950s look. You’ll love them so much, you’ll want to wear them whether you’re in a 1950s mood or not.

How To Dress Like A Tomboy

5 Replies

Are you a girl? Do you want to look like you’re just one of the guys so you can hang out and keep it simple? If this is true, then you want to dress like a tomboy. Here are some tips on how to achieve that look easily.

You’ll need to ditch all the girly clothes and leave them alone. Get yourself some sneakers, Nike, Vans, or Chucks are good and boots are also a good choice just not girly boots, we are talking Doc Marten or work boots here.

You will want some jeans that are comfortable, not low riders, or if it’s summertime, basketball shorts, cargo shorts or just regular old shorts that come down to your knees. Boys don’t wear short shorts, remember that and always avoid skirts of any kind.

When looking at shirts, you will need some t-shirts that are loose fitting and, generally plain looking. You can also throw a button down shirt over it that is also plain and be sure to roll up the sleeves. In the fall, flannel is a great choice for that. Last but not least, top it all off with a baseball cap of some kind.

When dressing like a Tomboy, you can’t just look like one you have to act like a boy. Do things like play video games, get into some sports, and be a bit more physical than a normal girl may be. Remember, Tomboy’s aren’t afraid to mix it up with the boys in football and things like that.

How you talk is also important. Things like “oh my gawd” and “oh no he didn’t” are not things that boys say, ever. Boys say things like “dude”, “man” and “awesome”; you can even combine these into, “dude, awesome!” Remember, girls and boys talk very differently and as for gossip, boys don’t really do it that much.

Yes, you can still have female friends just be sure not to dress like them or act like them otherwise your friends that are boys will start to avoid you. If for a reason you are in a situation where you have to wear dress, make sure it’s not overly girly at all and generally darker in color.

Boys are typically considered to be technology freaks, if you can plug it in, turn it on or have to update it from time to time they love it. This does not really apply to cell phones for some reason. Boys are not on their cell phone all the time texting their friends about everything that is happening.

Remember, boys are all about the immediate what’s going on now. They don’t put too much stock in what is happening tomorrow or the day before. They are generally about what they are currently doing so get into that mindset. They don’t gossip, they brag and they make fun of each other constantly and forget it two seconds later.

Last note, boy’s watch shows on TV like Family Guy, Robot Chicken and anime. They do not watch 90210, Gossip Girl or anything girlie like that. You shouldn’t either. Before you know it you will be just one of the guys.

How to Dress Like Jack Bauer

Leave a reply

The television show 24 is one of the most popular TV series on right now. The main character, Jack Bauer, is played by actor Kiefer Sutherland. When it comes to fashion Jack Bauer is a pretty cut and dry guy. But that’s what makes dressing like him so much fun; because it is easily achieved.

Because Jack Bauer dresses like a regular guy it is easy to achieve his look. But his look on the show changes with the situation he finds himself in. You can not only achieve one look for Jack Bauer, but you can base your look on what you are going to be doing.

If you are simply going to be casual most of the time you are in luck. Jack Bauer’s casual look rarely consists of anything more than a pair of regular fit jeans and a comfort-fit long or short sleeve t-shirt topped off with a dark colored lightweight jacket.

The shirts he wears are usually lighter brown and cream colors when worn with the jacket which is a dark brown color. If he is wearing just a shirt the colors tend to be on the darker side. Lots of dark gray and blacks will do the trick. Make sure that the shirts are fit snug to your body but not too tight. On the opposite side of the spectrum do not wear a shirt that is too big. Jack Bauer always wears a nice form fitting shirt but he never tucks them in. His jacket is never buttoned up and always opened –probably to allow easy access to his gun.–

Jack Bauer’s jeans are not tight but are also not to baggy. He seems to wear just a regular cut to a relaxed cut pair of jeans and his belts are either black or brown. He is always on the go and running after or away from bad guys, so it makes sense that his jeans need to be comfortable.

Finding yourself in a dressier situation is alright too as Jack Bauer often finds himself has to look snappy or professional at times on 24. Many times on the show Jack Bauer can be seen in a nice pair of dress pants with a long sleeve button down shirt and a sports blazer. His dress shirts are typically darker grays while his dress pants and sports blazer are usually charcoal or black in color.

Jack Bauer’s shoes will of course vary from situation to situation but they are always black in color. If you really want to complete the look you will need a black lightweight bullet proof vest worn over your shirt, but under your jacket. Add a gun and you have the real thing –though you may not want to carry a gun.–

Now complete the look by not shaving for a couple of days to achieve a nice scruff on your face. Keep your hair short if you want to totally look like Jack Bauer. Now you will have the look and feel of what it is like to be Jack Bauer –without all the bullets being shot at you.–

How to Dress Like the Jonas Brothers

Leave a reply

The Jonas Brothers are a group of guys who really know how to dress. They have such impeccable style that guys, and even girls, around the world are imitating the style. To get a style that is similar to the Jonas Brothers, is important to know how to pair jackets, shirts, pants and ties in new and interesting ways.

Suits

While the Jonas Brothers may wear a lot of suits, they aren’t the kind of suits that your grandparents wore. These are the flashy suits that have decorative piping and come in metallic colors in many cases. They love to wear light-colored suits with dark piping and dark suits with lighter details. To get the look of the Jonas Brothers suits, get a color scheme in mind first. They like light grays, whites and light neutral tones.

Then, find pieces that go together but that don’t necessarily match perfectly. Make sure your pants and jacket match, but keep the shirt and tie from being the exact same color. You might pair cotton or linen pants with a satin jacket like this one worn recently by one of the Jonas Brothers.

Ties

All three of the Jonas Brothers wear ties regularly. These ties can be striped or solid color. Most often, the ties have horizontal, slightly diagonal stripes. Choose neutral colors with your tie. While the occasional Jonas Brother may choose a red or orange tie, they generally wear neutrals colors rather than flashier ties. If you do choose a color, make sure it has diagonal stripes to go with the usual Jonas brother style. Also, make sure you don’t wear your tie tied too tightly. The Jonas Brothers love to loosen up their ties for a chic look but is also a little bit casual. They generally keep the buttons at the top of the collar and loosen the tie to match.

Shirts and Jackets

The Jonas Brothers favor button-up shirts in white and cream. They sometimes wear brown or maybe blue as well. Sometimes they choose striped shirts, and are fond of white shirts with light blue or gray stripes. The shirts can then be worn with a casual jacket if the Jonas Brothers are wearing suits at the time. The Jonas Brothers often wear casual jackets and colors with lots of beiges and browns. Sometimes the jackets are brown with beige accents, and sometimes they are maybe with lighter colored details.

If you don’t have a jacket on, roll up your sleeves. The Jonas Brothers are fond of the rolled-up sleeves look and often roll them up when they are in casual situations. For other casual occasions, they choose to wear crewneck t-shirts with dark pants or with jeans. They also wear a lot of vests with their t-shirts as well as with their suits. If you have a plain, casual t-shirt, pairing it with a neutral colored vest will make it look much more like a Jonas Brothers outfit. If you have a plaid flannel shirt, this will also work well it can be worn with a vest or jacket or on its own.

How to Dress Goth – More Than Just Black Clothes

3 Replies

Goth

If you want to dress goth, it’s important to understand the symbolism behind it all. Dressing goth is a way of expressing romanticism as well as darkness. For this reason, goth clothing is often a combination of casual black clothing and more formal attire. Some goth dressers wear evening wear regularly and dress shoes with every outfit to portray this romanticism. This isn’t the only way to dress goth however. As long as the right elements are there, the outfit will look goth.

Black

The most common color to wear in goth dressing is black. Many goths wear black from head to toe and even dye their hair black to match. However, it isn’t necessary to always wear all black. Other colors are perfectly acceptable in the goth world as well. Deep wine reds, dark purple, dark green and even white are also worn along with black. When wearing these colors, black is still usually the predominant color. A wine red skirt may be paired with a black shirt and black jacket to create the goth look.

Casual Wear

Shirts or jackets that resemble corsets are often desired in goth outfits. These are then worn with jeans or black pants. Many goths wear ripped up jeans in deep blue colors. T-shirts can be worn by goths, as long as the t-shirts are either plain black or have a black background with dark-colored printing on them.

For guys, the look is often expressed with black jeans and worn black t-shirts and jackets. For girls, black velvet usually plays a part somewhere in the look. A black velvet skirt can be paired with worn tennis shoes and dark t-shirts. When choosing a t-shirt, look for ones that have goth bands printed on them. Goth band shirts are an immediate sign that a person is into goth culture.

Anything with a skull on it is also a big of being goth. Skulls are popular right now and can be found printed on t-shirts, handbags, ties and even shoes. In particular, look for black items that have white printed skulls on them for the maximum contrast.

Shoes

Black tennis shoes are popular with goth dressers, but boots may be a more classic goth look. Black combat boots are a common sight among goth dressers. Any type of black leather boots from ankle boots to thigh-high boots will work with the goth look. Along with your black shoes, be sure to wear black socks. A contrasting sock color will stick out and not look the way a goth outfit should.

Silver

Any accessories should be black or silver. Gold jewelry of any kind is not a part of the goth look. Silver reminds goths of the moonlight, and it’s an important part of goth culture. Goths love to wear plenty of jewelry, including lots of silver bracelets and necklaces with meaningful pendants on them. Goths sometimes wear black studded collars on their necks or black studded bracelets. Plenty of silver rings are also important to the goth look. Any piercings should be outfitted with silver jewelry.

What Is Your T-Shirt Body Type?

Leave a reply

Knowing your T-shirt body type is very useful when it comes to choosing the perfect T-shirt for you. Whether or not we want to admit it, we all have a specific body type that fits into a certain category. Choosing the right T-shirt for our body type will result in a flattering look that is sure to be appreciated by the wearer.

If you happen to be very thin or sporting some extra pounds, the loose fitting short-sleeved T-shirt is the perfect tee for you. Loose fitting shirts skim the torso showing a little of the shape but not too much. The less than perfect details are nicely hidden and you tend to feel much more comfortable than you would in a more form-fitting T-shirt.

If you have a great shape and are confident enough to wear more fitted clothes, then form fitting T-shirts are the choice for you. They nicely flatter the best figures and show them off to advantage. They always look neat and can easily transition from casual to more dressy affairs.

If you are pear-shaped, you may want to consider wearing T-shirts that have a line of text or something printed across the chest part only of the T-shirt. It draws the eye up and no one will notice your less than perfect sized hips. Likewise, if you are top heavy, a T-shirt that has printing on the tail will draw the eye down and you will appear more balanced.

If you have a short neck, remember that the key to looking your best in a T-shirt is the neckline. You should always opt for one with décolletage, such as a V-neck or a scoop neck. Such T-shirts give the impression of a longer neck, making you appear more balanced proportionately. These types of necklines are also sure to add to your sex appeal, another great reason to choose them.

If you have a bigger weight problem, do not be tempted to use oversized T-shirts as a way to cover up. Oversized T-shirts look like you are trying to hide something no matter what size you are. Therefore the illusion is busted right away. Oversized T-shirts are best used for sleeping in, never for day wear.

When you have discovered the T-shirt body type you have, it is important to make sure your wardrobe reflects that. You will want to get rid of shirts that are plainly unflattering to your body type. Then, you will need to invest in a variety of great, new T-shirts in the style that best fit your body type. The ideal way to do so is to get a selection of custom-made shirts printed that are exactly what you want. You can choose the colors you need, the weight, the style and the quality. You can also opt for a line or two of text printed on the T-shirt. It can be a fun, witty line, a joke, a belief, something you are proud of, an accomplishment or something or someone you love.

How to Dress at 30 – Fashion Advice

51 Replies

Up until they hit 30, many people dress in a very youthful style. The 30s are when many people start to see themselves as grown ups for the first time. Or, if they already saw themselves that way, they start to realize that their style has to evolve from the way they dressed in their teens or early 20s to a new, more sophisticated clothing style.

Skirts

Miniskirts are generally not considered something appropriate for the wardrobe of someone in their 30s. The exact age that this is true varies, but many believe that by 30 to 35 they should no longer be worn. Skirt should go to the knee or below it and not too much thigh should be shown if the woman is sitting down. To get a flirtier look out of a longer skirt, many women wear skirts with a long slit instead of a short hemline.

Pants

For anyone who is 30, man or woman, the time for the torn-up jeans is over. Ripped jeans worn on a 20-something can make them look like a rebel. Ripped jeans worn on a 30-something person can make them looks homeless. Clothing should generally be in good condition and a more coordinated, sophisticated look is generally called for. The jeans should be more classic and less trendy. Instead of wearing the latest fad jeans, invest in a few jeans that have a more classic style.

Getting a few pairs of khaki pants will mean that you always have a nice, casual pair of pants when you need them. If you like to wear skirts, have a few pairs that are pencil-skirt style because of their classic shape. A maxi skirt looks good on some people, but it may be considered too trendy for 30-somethings.

Shirts

The message t-shirts and casual, old vintage t-shirts are no longer appropriate for those in their 30s. Like ripped pants, they have a much different statement when worn by someone in their 20s than by someone in their 30s. A vintage t-shirt on a college student looks like an ironic statement about their own unique style. On a 30-something person, it looks like an ancient t-shirt that you’ve kept around in your wardrobe for far too long. T-shirts are great for any age group, but they should be in good condition and not too trendy in your 30s. They should fit together with your other classic pieces in order to form a more cohesive wardrobe.

While most trendy clothing may be a little too youthful for those in their 30s, the key to a great outfit at this age is wearing great accessories. The accessories you wear can generally be as trendy as you like in order to make your classic wardrobe look more individualized and stylish. Many 30-somethings like to express themselves through their sunglasses and their jewelry. Handbags are another big style point for women in their

How to Dress Like Hannah Montana

1 Reply

Hannah Montana is the character played by Miley Cyrus, and her style is very different from the real Miley’s. Hannah Montana is a performer, so she has a style all her own when it comes to the stage. She is a flashy dresser who has a showy stage persona and a wardrobe to back it up. Hannah Montana’s style may be flashy, but it doesn’t take a costume designer to create the look. By pairing the right pieces together, anyone can dress like Hannah Montana.

Make It Sparkle

One of the hallmarks of Hannah’s style is that there is plenty of metallic shine and glitter in her outfits. Any outfit can be made more like one of Hannah’s by adding some rhinestones, glitter or some metallic thread to it. Some silver or gold trim sewn onto the edges of jackets, at the cuffs of sleeves and at the end of a pair of pants will make your items look like something that Hannah would wear.

Although Hannah does wear silver pieces, she tends to prefer gold. She has many jackets and belts that are gold, trimmed with gold or that have gold details. Several of her jackets have a different background color with a gold pattern over that color.

Sequins are also a part of the big picture. If you can find a shirt that is covered in sequins, that’s a perfect way to create a Hannah look.

Jackets

It’s hard to have a real Hannah Montana look without wearing a jacket. Jackets are an integral part of the overall look, and they add some sparkle when worn correctly. The jackets she wears usually have some sparkling detail or metallic details like lots of rivets. The jackets are almost always short, coming up above the waist. Hannah has jackets in just about every color, including silver, gold, gold and white, black, gray, brown and yellow. Any jacket that has a lot of zippers and buttons is one that looks like Hannah’s style.  If you have a short jacket, add a few sparkling details and it could certainly be one that Hannah owns.

Shirts

Hannah Montana wears a lot of printed t-shirts. They are almost always brightly-colored, and they often have a large pattern on them. This t-shirt is one that was matched with a jacket with metallic details, a silver belt and a pair of black jeans. She has worn many similar shirts in other stripe colors, such as bright pink and black and red and white. Many times, her shirts are sleeveless or halter-top style.

Belts

Hannah loves to accessorize with belts. Her belts usually serve to add some sparkle to the outfit. The belts are usually in silver or gold, but she has also worn belts in purple, red, blue and black among other colors. The more elaborate and detailed the belt is- the better. Many of Hannah’s belts have a lot of intricate design including patterns and large details.  Wearing a dazzling belt is an inexpensive way to add some shine to any outfit and to make it look a little more like Hannah Montana’s.

Selena Gomez loves wearing young, flirty clothing in which each piece has a little bit of flair. The type of clothing she prefers tends to be colored away from the neutral spectrum. She enjoys color and plenty of it. Selena has several different kinds of clothing choices, including dresses for appearances and photo shoots and her more casual clothing for every day wear and daytime appearances.

Evening Wear

When posing for the camera for evening events, Selena Gomez loves to wear frilly, feminine dresses with high heels. These outfits are always show stoppers with bright colors and large prints. Her dresses are often short or long enough to just cover the knee. The dresses are sometimes sleeveless, sometimes strapless and sometimes they have only one strap for an asymmetrical look. This dress was a big hit for the Teen Choice Awards. She paired silver high-heeled pumps with the dress for a bright look that was age appropriate and hard to forget.

Many of her patterned dresses are either plaid or polka dotted. The black, polka-doted mini-dress that she wore to the Teen Vogue Young Hollywood Party was in perfect signature Selena Gomez style. It used the large, bold pattern to attract attention and showed off her feminine style with the large bow and the ruffles. The front, like many of her dresses and outfits, was cut low.

Casual Wear

Selena Gomez prefers a low-maintenance casual style for daytime events that still manages to look feminine. She wears t-shirts that have ruffles and other feminine details to keep her style consistent even during the most casual events. She wore a WWF t-shirt to an event, but paired it with a thick belt to emphasize her waist.

Sometimes she wears striped hose or tights along with color-coordinated shorts and a ruffled top or t-shirt. This t-shirt is similar to one worn to a daytime premiere with its scooped neck and its feminine, lacy details on the front.

Selena wears skinny jeans when she chooses denim. These jeans have a highly-tapered leg and are tight at the knee. She often wears dark gray and dark blue jeans. Sometimes, she rolls up the ends into short cuffs. If you roll up your jeans, be sure to leave enough length so that there is some wrinkling of the pants if you want to play up the real Selena look.

Shorts and Hose

Along with t-shirts ands other casual shirts, she often wears shorts and pantyhose. These are often black for more formal occasions. Plain black shorts, that are worn very short, are paired with sheer black hose in several occasions. The hose sometimes have vertical black stripes that make her legs look longer. Anyone can have the same results by wearing striped tights and a pair of ultra-short shorts in a dark color. These can be paired with a pair of black high heels, as Selena Gomes often does. Or, they can be paired with a pair of dark Converse low-tops, as Selena occasionally does.

Blair Waldorf’s look is nothing if not classic, simple and chic. The look may look easy to put together, but it does take an eye for classic pieces to create the kind of style that Blair Waldorf favors. To dress like Blair Waldorf, it’s important to stick to a simple color scheme and to use only classic, tailored items that work well together. Blair would not approve of sloppy clothing that doesn’t fit together well.

Dresses and Skirts

Blair Waldorf loves to wear dresses and skirts. She is rarely, if ever, seen in pants and she wouldn’t dream of wearing shorts. She’s a girlie girl at heart and makes the most out of short to mid-length skirts and dresses of just about any length.

One of her favorite types of dresses is the babydoll dress. This is a simple dress that generally has a high waist or no waistline and it generally has few details. It can have long sleeves, ¾ sleeves, short sleeves or it may be sleeveless in some cases. The babydoll dresses that Blair wears are always very classic looking with elegant lines and with a very feminine look.

Headbands

It’s rare to see Blair Waldorf without a headband. In many cases, the headband is the only spark of color in an otherwise neutral outfit.

The headbands sometimes are plain, brightly-colored bands and sometimes they have bows or other adornments on them. She has been known to wear a bright scarf as a headband as well.

Tights

Because Blair wears so many skirts and dresses, she does have a need to keep her legs warm. Part of her signature style is the vast array of tights she has in her collection. These tights are one of the ways that she introduces texture and detail into her wardrobe. While the rest of her outfit may be more classic, she loves to wear textured and patterned tights. She has tights in black and white as well as colors, patterns and even in lace and knit patterns. The most common colors that she wears are black, white and navy. If you have a classic, preppy outfit in one of these colors, pairing it with a pair of coordinating tights will make it look like something that Blair Waldorf would be very comfortable wearing.

Should I Wear a Heavyweight or Lightweight T-Shirt?

Leave a reply

A heavyweight t-shirt is one that weighs more than 6 ounces. Its heavier weight comes from its thicker material. A t-shirt with a thinner material, weighing under 6 ounces, is considered a lightweight t-shirt. How thick your t-shirt should be depends on several factors. These can include the type of weather you can expect, how the t-shirt looks on you and how it personally feels to you.

A heavyweight t-shirt can be worn to keep you warmer when the weather is cold or when there is a lot of wind. But, that’s not the only occasion to wear a heavyweight t-shirt. They can also be worn if you want better coverage from your clothing. A heavyweight t-shirt is one that will not show your figure as easily. For women, this can be a very important factor in which weight they choose. Because the coverage is better, wearing a heavier t-shirt is often more appropriate for the office and for many social occasions than a lightweight t-shirt. In many workplaces, it may be mandated how much coverage a person needs. If a bra line is visible through a T-shirt, it may be considered inappropriate by the boss.

Men may find that they have figure flaws that they wish to conceal behind a heavier weight T-shirt. If they have any chest fat or love handles, a thicker t-shirt will cover these more easily. The heavier weight pulls the t-shirt down so it does not cling as easily to the body. Women may have similar figure flaws that they wish to hide as well. A heavier weight t-shirt may make them feel better about themselves because they feel their perceived figure flaws are being hidden instead of being put on display by thinner material.

Thicker t-shirts also tend to last longer than thinner t-shirts. A heavyweight shirt will last through more washes than one that is lighter. It will also hold its shape for a longer period than a thinner t-shirt will. This can make it a lot easier to buy a heavyweight T-shirt so that you don’t have to keep shopping for T-shirts as often. It also means that the ones you already have will not stretch out as quickly.

Some people simply preferred the way a lightweight t-shirt feels. A lightweight t-shirt will breathe better and may allow a breeze that you can feel right through the fabric. Many people choose lightweight t-shirts if they live in very hot weather or for beach vacations. And when going to sleep, a loose, lightweight t-shirt provides a comfortable item of clothing that will not be constricting.

It’s known that a lightweight T-shirt usually costs less than a heavy weight t-shirt, and that might influence some people to choose a lightweight t-shirt over a heavier one. However, a heavyweight t-shirt usually lasts longer than a lightweight one. This can make the difference between the two prices negligible. What the decision often comes down to then is how much coverage as needed and the climate in which it will be worn.

How to Dress Like James Bond

Leave a reply

James Bond is a character known as much for his impeccable style as he is for his stunts and secret agent activities. His style is always simple and classic, no matter what the occasion.

To dress like James Bond, it’s important to distinguish between the many incarnations of the character. The latest version of James Bond is Daniel Craig’s quiet portrayal of the secret agent. His modern look is an updated version of the classic looks sported by James Bond actors in the past.

Suites and Tuxes

The modern James Bond still sports suits and tuxedos during much of his movies. His secret agent suits are extremely pricy suits made by Brioni, but there are many suit makers who are now copying the style of James Bond and offering their items with far more affordable prices. Some companies have copied specific suits from modern James Bond movies, creating affordable versions that are very much in keeping with James Bond’s style. The Goldfinger Royale Suit is one such example.

When choosing a suit for your James Bond look, stick with dark gray or black. James Bond goes for understated looks that are classics. Navy blue or brown are not in keeping with that principle.

When opting for a tux, choose one with classic lines and little fuss. James Bond doesn’t need a lot of adornments to make his outfit look serious- he does that with his eyes. Choose a simple, black tux, single breasted. Pair it with a simple white tuxedo shirt and a small black bow tie. Never choose a red tie or a shirt with a lot of pleats if you want to look authentic.

When accessorizing your tuxedo, choose simple, dark cufflinks. His cufflinks are generally small and either black or metallic. Anything that is too large, sparkly or brightly colored is not a good choice for this look. Remember that when dressing like James Bond, your attitude is the biggest adornment. Anything too flashy or eye catching will take away from that look.

Pants

James Bond’s suit pants generally have inverted pleats and a traditional tab closure in the front. The pants can be bought from suit makers who make traditional suit pants using these construction methods. For an authentic, traditionally-British look, choose wool pants like these 007-inspired wool-blend pants.

Casual Wear

In keeping with his simple, elegant style, you won’t see James Bond wearing printed t-shirts. He does, however, wear plenty of plain ones. He wears both crew-neck and v-neck t-shirts that are in solid, neutral colors. A plain white v-neck t-shirt is one of his more casual looks, but he also wear gray t-shirts when dressed down.

When going for the James Bond casual look, wear a cotton t-shirt rather than a polyester or cotton-blend t-shirt. Cotton t-shirts have a stretchable shape that is perfect for showing off a James Bond physique. Cotton adjusts to fit the wearer well, making the t-shirt look like it was custom made for the person. And for James Bond, the fit is an important aspect of the style.

Should I Wear a T-Shirt for My School Pictures?

Leave a reply

What you wear for your school pictures is something you will remember for decades to come. For this reason, a lot of anxiety can go into what to wear on picture day. Parents, friends and other people may give you advice, but the answer has to come from yourself. You will want to show off your own style and personality with what you wear in your picture. Years later, you will want to be able to look at your picture and remember the person that you were and the style that you had.

If you feel a lot of pressure to dress up for your school pictures, there are many ways to wear a t-shirt and still be dressy. You can wear a tie or a necklace over your t-shirt. You can wear a nice jacket or blazer over your t-shirt. You can pair your t-shirt with a collared shirt worn under it. You can wear a simple black or white t-shirt and dress it up with accessories. A scarf can be tied around your neck or put over your shoulders for a more unique look. Some people like to dress up the t-shirts with a brooch or pin.

For most pictures, wearing something extremely complicated with a lot of buttons and patterns on it can make the details too difficult to come out in the picture. This makes a t-shirt the ideal thing to wear for school pictures. A t-shirt, even if it has a printed image, will be less fussy and complicated for the pictures. And because school pictures are so small in the yearbook, wearing something simple is generally the best idea.

When you wear a t-shirt on picture day, you can be assured that you’ll stay cool and comfortable all day. The alternative is wearing something stiffer and less comfortable throughout the day for the sake of your school pictures. But, there’s no reason to be uncomfortable just because you want to look good.  With a dressed-up t-shirt, you can look great as well as stay comfortable.

If your style is very casual, wearing a t-shirt on picture day is a must. A t-shirt shows that you have a cool, comfortable style all your own. What color t-shirt you wear should be chosen based on the colors that are most flattering to you as well as what the background colors are. Most school pictures are taken against some type of colored background. This may be one color, a picture, or swirl of colors. If you can find out what color the picture background will be in advance, you can better coordinate your t-shirt color to the back ground color.

If you have friends that you spend a lot of time with, you can coordinate with your friends in advance to wear matching t-shirts for picture day. This will remind you in the years to come about how close you were with these friends and will remind you of some of the good times you had together.

Should I Wear a T-Shirt on a First Date?

Leave a reply

There are no hard and fast rules about what you must wear on a first date. There’s no dress code and there is no one way of dressing that will impress any date that you may have. The main rule when dressing for a first date and any subsequent date is to dress properly for the specific occasion. Keep in mind the environment that you will be in with your date.

The problem with wearing a t-shirt on a first date is often that it is worn casually to a place that is not supposed to be casual. If you are taking a date out to dinner, it is possible to wear a t-shirt the right way in order to be appropriate to the occasion. The trick is to dress the t-shirt up or down according to where you and your date will be headed for the evening.

If you’re going to a picnic or a sporting event, wearing a t-shirt and jeans is certainly appropriate. If you are going out for a nice candlelit evening, you can still wear a t-shirt as long as you pair it with dressier items. If you wear a jacket or blazer over your t-shirt and pair it with a nice pair of pants, your t-shirt will look perfectly dressy and very appropriate for a nice first date. For women, pairing a t-shirt with a nice set of jewelry will make it look far dressier. That way, you can look dressed up and still remain in a comfortable t-shirt.

If you are going for a casual date, you should still pay attention to how your outfit coordinates. Don’t wear a t-shirt with the clashing pair of pants or a scarf that doesn’t match your shirt. Put together your outfit with care so that it flows well. Try to color coordinate so that your t-shirt is part of a well-thought-out outfit.

No matter where you’re going to no matter how casual the event is, it’s important that your t-shirt should be clean and in good condition for your date. Wearing a dirty or rumpled t-shirt is a sign of disrespect and will not impress your date no matter how casual the date is supposed to be. To show your date that you respect him or her and that you have made an effort with your appearance, hang up your t-shirt the day before you wear it so that any wrinkles will have the chance to fall out. You might also consider ironing your t-shirt so that it looks its best.

For any date, wear a t-shirt that is not stained and does not have a collar that is stretched out. If you want to wear white t-shirt for your date, wear one that is not dingy has been taken care of properly. If you can show your date that you made an effort to look your best even for a very casual date, you will have done your part to make the date a success.
