How to Dress Like Adam Lambert

Adam Lambert

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

What to Wear with White Jeans

Leave a reply

White jeans

While most people are afraid of white jeans (think ketchup dripping off a burger at that summer barbeque or a Starbuck’s cappuccino that attacks you in the car), this look adds infinite possibilities to your wardrobe. Nothing says spring and summer better than a great pair of white jeans paired with a breezy top. And when you pair white jeans with the right top, shoes and stylish accessories, you can even slip them on year-round.

If you enjoy wearing denim, adding white jeans to your wardrobe is an absolute must. Any outfit will look fresh and contemporary anchored by them, which is the look you’re going for in summer wear. Don’t believe the myth that you have to be super skinny to wear white jeans either. As with any pair of jeans, the factors that will determine how you look are fit and fabric. Find a pair that fits you correctly, and you’ve added tons of versatility to your wardrobe.

Seven for All Mankind’s Ginger jean is a sophisticated pair that hugs in the right places and loosens at the leg, making it a good choice for both thin and curvy silhouettes.

AG Adriano Goldschmied Stilt Cigarette Leg Jeans are another white jean style with great versatility. The lean look balances out longer tops, and flat shoes won’t get lost underneath its narrow leg openings.

Here are few ideas for items you can pair with a great pair of white jeans to create head-turning looks.
•    A flowing, Bohemian-style top is the perfect compliment to white jeans. Add sandals for a modern summer look that can easily go from casual to evening.
•    Like the Bohemian shirt, tunics are also great to wear with white jeans. A long, loose tunic will cover the butt and help the legs look longer and leaner. Balance the longer layers with a long necklace or a few strands of beads.
•    For a stunning monochromatic look, pair a white t-shirt with white jeans. Metallic accessories and shoes will really stand out against this look.
•    With black and white gaining popularity again, wear white jeans paired with a black sweater and black shoes. This look can easily be dressed down for out-and-about wear, and strappy heels with take the look into the evening.
•    Pair a simple tee or tank with a linen blazer and white jeans for a classic summery look.
•    For a leaner look, don’t wear a belt with white jeans. A belt that’s any color other than white will divide your body horizontally and make you appear shorter.

Finally, before you leave the house, check your butt to make sure there aren’t panty lines or shadows to mar your look from behind. Denim is a heavy fabric, but the wrong pair of undies can wreak havoc with a lighter weight pair. Stick with white undergarments when you’re sporting white jeans. You might also consider buying jeans with a lining, although these are less common than those without.

Undershirt

How to Keep Your Undershirt From Showing

Leave a reply

Undershirt

An undershirt is a great, versatile item to wear with just about anything. There are many people, however, who don’t wish for their undershirt to show. Having an undershirt that shows is a matter of personal preference, but if you don’t want to show it, there are many ways to avoid it.

Choosing Your Colors

If you want to make sure that your undershirt doesn’t show through your over shirt, make sure your undershirt is not a darker color than what you wear over it. When the color is darker, it will generally show through even if you have a thick over shirt. Believing that their over shirt is thick enough that the undershirt won’t show through it is a mistake that people often make. Colors do make a big difference in what is visible.

Another way to do this is to choose to shirts that are roughly the same color. If you only have a dark colored shirt that can be worn as an undershirt, wearing a matching shirt as an over shirt will ensure that the undershirt doesn’t get noticed. Even if the color of your undershirt is visible for a moment above your outer shirt, the matching colors mean that it will not be noticed.

Choosing Your Shape

Another way to make sure that your undershirt is hidden is to wear the right shape. A V-neck undershirt has a lower-cut front than a standard crew neck undershirt. This makes it possible to have a looser neck line with your over shirt and to still keep your undershirt from showing. The V-neck undershirt means you can even keep your collar unbuttoned a little and you will still have an undershirt that is out of sight. If you wear a crew neck T-shirt as an undershirt, make sure you keep your over shirt buttoned up all the way to avoid revealing the undershirt.

Choosing Your Layers

If you choose an extra layer, you can be sure that your undershirt will be far harder to see. A popular look is to wear an undershirt with a T-shirt over it and then to wear a button-up shirt over that. The button-up shirt can be left unbuttoned for a casual look that keeps your undershirt well out of sight. For people who are hiding figure flaws, this is a great bit of layering that gives the body a leaner look. It also provides extra warmth as well as hiding the undershirt.

Choosing Your Fabrics

If you want to make sure that your undershirt doesn’t show, choose the thinnest undershirt that you can. This still provides you with some coverage while making it harder to see the undershirt. T-shirts come in a variety of weights, and a thinner weight shirt worn as an undershirt will be easier to hide with an over shirt. Choosing a thicker weight button-up shirt to wear over a thinner weight undershirt is a great way to hide it. Button up shirts tend to be thicker than jersey knit shirts overall, and are great for covering an undershirt of any kind.

How to Find Your Own Fashion Style

Style

Fashion is a constantly changing and evolving. The fashion industry and the media have a great amount of influence in determining what is considered fashion and what is not. It changes from season to season, place to place and age group to age group. In fact you can spend your whole life being told what is fashionable and what is not. However, following fashion advice can be time consuming and very expensive. For these reasons it is important to develop your own fashion style and use it as the basis of what you wear.

For anyone who is looking to find their own fashion style, there are many things to take into consideration and many things that can help you pinpoint a style that works for you. Ask yourself the following questions in order to get started.
•    What are your favorite colors and which colors look best on you? These will work well in your fashion style, because if you love the color you are more likely to wear it.
•    What types of patterns are you most attracted to? Do you like stripes, polka dots, plaids, modern prints or solids?
•    Do you prefer ultra feminine clothes, masculine styles or something in between?
•    Do you enjoy following fashion and love to be on the cutting edge of it or do you tend to lean towards items that are considered classic?
•    Can you go through your wardrobe and find items you bought 5 years ago that you wear still or do you invest in almost all-new stuff every season?
•    What are your favorite clothes? Is there one thing in your wardrobe that you have a predominance of?
•    When you look at fashion around you, is there one person’s style or one particular look that most appeals to you? Why don’t you emulate it?
•    Are your clothes divided into work clothes and casual clothes? Are there some things that carry over?
•    Is price were no object which designers would you wear or whose look would you copy?

By analyzing what you like and what you don’t and the things that attract you most in fashion, you can get a great basis for finding your own fashion style. Choosing to opt for the latest trends is one option. Only classic looks is another. However, in reality most people wear a mixture of both. Select classic things that you know you can get years of wear from and use them as the foundation for your wardrobe. They should be in your favorite colors and styles that you will look forward to wearing and that you know you look good in. Use fun additions from the season’s hottest items and accessories to personalize your own style.

How To Dress Like An Intellectual

Intellectual

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

The Genius Look

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

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

The Philosopher Look

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

The Computer/Tech Geek Look

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

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

How to Dress Like a Rock Star

Rock star

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

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

Here’s what you’ll need:

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

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

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

How To Dress Like An Eco Youth

Leave a reply

Eco youth

You may be asking yourself what exactly is an Eco Youth and how can you dress like one? Well, I can sum this up in a couple of words: hippy and bohemian. An Eco youth is someone who cares greatly about ecology and the planet. The things they wear and do are all with a saving the planet mentality.

The first thing you need to do is look online for stores that sell eco friendly clothing. This is clothing that is made with recycled materials or who use coloring and dyes that are earth friendly with a production process that does little to pollute the earth. A big part of eco fashion is not fashion really, but how these things are made.

With that said, you will need something to pull this look off so people know that you are eco friendly. You see it’s not enough that you know; everyone has to know as well. It’s a very look at me I’m better than you because I am eco friendly and you aren’t kind of lifestyle. Belligerence about it is sometimes needed as well.

Ok, to the tips!

1)    Always carry around one of those recyclable  ‘green’ grocery bags with you that have the word Green on it. This way everyone knows you are all about green stuff.
2)    Look online for clothing stores that feature green or eco clothing and articles. A great place to look as well is vintage stores and thrift stores. Recycled clothing at it’s finest.
3)    Buy your jewelry from vintage stores and don’t go buying real pearls, ever.
4)    On that note, you cannot wear anything made from animals; no leather or suede and snakeskin boots are definitely out!
5)    If you use any kind of beauty product, from shampoo to makeup you have to be sure none of it was tested on animals, has no animal proteins or whale blubber or anything like that in them. There are specific places that sell eco friendly products of this nature, search them out.
6)    Your clothing should be made of cotton, silk, bamboo or any other type of sustainable thread. Clothing and shoes made from hemp is a great way to go for this look.

The Eco Youth look is not any one particular fashion or look, it’s all about what clothing you are wearing, what it is made of and how it was made. If you are wearing something that was made by a company who is serious about being green then wear whatever you want from them.

This style is not a fashion style; it is a way of life. It is about how you try to reduce your carbon footprint in the world. How you handle electricity use, fossil fuel use and all about recycling everything you can include in your choice in clothing. Wearing vintage clothing is preferred as it is already there and your buying it will not make someone go out and say “Hey we need to make even more stuff!” Eco Fashion is all about saving the planet and looking good while you do it.

Tight or baggy

Is It Healthy For The Skin To Wear Tight Or Baggy T-Shirts

Leave a reply

Tight or baggy

When you wear T-shirts, you can give a variety of impressions. They can include the impression of being casual, well-dressed, sloppy, neat, being attentive to details, dressing provocatively and much more. A simple T-shirt really can speak volumes. In fact if you choose to wear tight tees, it typically gives the impression that you are sexually permissive and that you are dressing provocatively to attract attention. Wearing a baggy T-shirt is often perceived as the hallmark of someone who is lazy, sloppy, trying to hide a poor figure or careless. However, your choice of T-shirts can also be healthy or not for your skin.

If you choose to wear tight T-shirts for an extended period of time, you run the risk of causing your skin to break out. Acne commonly occurs on the back especially after a period of wearing overly tight clothing, because perspiration and oils are trapped next to the skin. Other factors may also contribute to such acne however. The main problem with tight T-shirts causing acne is that they don’t allow skin to breathe as it should.

In addition, if you have a tendency to develop eczema, you may want to avoid too-tight T-shirts. The residual chemicals from laundry that remain in T-shirts will have a greater chance of rubbing off on your skin and irritating it if you wear tight tees. Eczema flare-ups are more common for those who opt for tight T-shirts.

Wearing baggy T-shirts is fine for the skin. It has no effect whatsoever on your skin in terms of impacting it in a healthy or unhealthy way. When compared to tight T-shirts, baggy ones are obviously healthier. However, regular fitting T-shirts would also be a healthy skin alternative and would definitely look better. Baggy T-shirts are not flattering for anyone regardless of size or shape. Therefore toss out the baggy tees and the tight tees and get some T-shirts in the right size for healthier skin and a much better look.

If you are ready to invest in some new smart-looking T-shirts in the right size for you, custom-made T-shirts are the way to go. You get to select the colors, styles, fabric weight and quality that you want. Then you can opt to have practically anything you desire printed on the tees. You can recreate an old too-tight T-shirt that was a favorite. You can also choose to print a fun line on one like:
•    Tight tees are uncool.
•    No more tight T-shirts.
•    Tight tees are bad for your health.

Other options of things to do with a custom-made tee is to have a photo or drawing that means something to you printed on it. You can opt to put on things you believe in, people you are proud of, your accomplishments, favorite causes, hobbies and things you feel strongly about. You can also make a joke on your T-shirt.

What Color T-Shirt Should I Wear Under A Button Down?

Leave a reply

Button down

Wearing a T-shirt under a button down shirt is a popular look for people of all ages and men and women alike. A T-shirt as an undershirt helps to keep the button down shirt cleaner, reducing the need for expensive or time consuming cleaning. It also makes a see-through shirt much more respectable. For women it works as a camisole to make the outfit less provocative. For men it covers up chest hair. It also provides needed warmth and helps to create a pulled together look. However, sometimes choosing the right color to wear under a button down shirt is a complicated decision.

For the most part, white is the color of choice for a tee to be worn under a button down. Versatile white matches practically everything and always looks good. It is the traditional color of undershirts and is by far still the most common one. In fact, with many outfits a touch of white adds a little class. Just be sure your white T-shirt is ultra clean and in good shape, as a dingy one or one that’s beginning to look ragged will detract from your appearance and make you seem careless.

White is also a great choice when the T-shirt is being used as a camisole under a see-through button down in most cases, especially for Caucasians. If you are African-American, a black or dark brown T-shirt will look much better as a camisole. In addition, if the see-through button down is black in color, anyone can wear a black tee beneath it for a seamless, sophisticated look.

The choice of button-down and the look you are going for will also help to dictate which color T-shirt you should opt to wear. If you are looking for a sleek, seamless look, it is a good idea to match the color of the T-shirt with the button down you are wearing. You can even match it closely enough that people will not be able to tell if you are wearing a T-shirt or not.

If you like the look of a T-shirt under an open button down shirt, you have more versatility in your choice of colors. You can wear a coordinating color in a similar shade. You can also opt for a T-shirt in any color that is found in a multi-color button down. For a funky look, you can also choose a contrasting T-shirt to wear under your favorite button down. The choices are endless.

T-shirts are the most versatile of all types of clothing. They can easily go from casual to work to more dressed up events. In order to be ready for every type of situation, you should own a variety of good-looking T-shirts. By ordering custom-made T-shirts you can easily have the perfect one for any and every occasion. You can choose the color, weight, style and quality of the tee. You also can opt to custom print it with anything you want.

Look taller

How to Dress to Look Taller

Look taller

We can put a man on the moon, but we haven’t found a way to make ourselves taller, or have we? Actually, there are many different tricks at our disposal to create the illusion of looking taller. It’s not difficult when you know exactly what to do. As soon as you understand the principles behind these tricks, you will know how to shop for items that elongate you.

You may be surprised to know that many celebrities are short. Al Pacino, Bono, Ben Stiller, and Tom Cruise are all under 5’8″, the average height for men in America. Julianne Moore, Drew Barrymore, Sarah Jessica Parker, and America Ferrera are all under 5’4″, the average height for women in America. Most of these stars, and others, never look short on camera. This is due to their team of stylists who know how to create height through optical illusion.

Starting at the bottom up, shoes are certainly important. It’s very easy for short women to wear high heel shoes or boots, but it’s not so convenient for men. Unless you think Prince is a good fashion idol, you may not want to wear high heel boots if you’re a man. Men do have options when it comes to shoes. On the market now for men are platform shoes. It’s not the standard white platform shoes from the 1970s. It’s undercover platform shoes that look like regular loafers or dress shoes. Basically, the platform is placed inside the shoe, and gives height from within, without creating a bulky heel. These are a very good long term investment for a problem that will never go away. Shoes should also be closed-toe, and preferably matching the color of the pants. This creates an illusion of length.

For pants, fit is everything. Both men and women should buy pants that fit around the thighs and then fall straight from the thighs. Contrary to popular opinion, skinny jeans, especially if you’re not skinny, do not make you look taller. They emphasize the length of the legs, and if your legs are not long, they will emphasize that, also. It must be noted that some people do look taller in skinny jeans, but this varies depending on the brand, the style, and the color of the jeans. Always try on jeans, and get a second opinion from a non-biased party (not the sales associate). High waisted jeans also give the impression of long legs.

To look taller, skirts should be shorter. Knee length or shorter shows off more leg, creating the illusion of length. Another item to consider are A-line dresses or skirts.

Continuing up the body, shirts with vertical strips elongate the torso. Avoid wearing horizontal strips that make you look shorter. Wear longer tops, that reach below the waist, to carry on the illusion of height. Many women find that dangling earrings also help. As far as hair is concerned, shorter is better. Men should consider close cropped, or spiky hairstyles. Women would benefit by adding more height to the crown of their hair.

Many people find that a monochromatic look works very well for them. This means choosing one color, especially a darker one, to wear for top and bottom. The human eye interprets a monochromatic outfit as a single unit, and this tricks the mind into believing the person is taller.

Some things to avoid are baggy clothes. Clothes should be fitted, and sleek, creating a lean look. Avoid belts if at all possible. Men usually need belts, and in this case, the belt should be thin, and the same color as the pants. Following these guidelines when shopping will make you taller instantly.

How To Hang A T-Shirt On The Wall?

Leave a reply

Hanging a T-shirt on a wall is a great way to show off a masterpiece, a souvenir T-shirt, an autographed one or one that was worn by someone special. Sports T-shirts, school T-shirts, reunion shirts and even baby’s first T-shirts are great ideas to hang up and show off. So, how exactly does one go about hanging a T-shirt on a wall?

The first thing to do before putting a T-shirt on display is to make sure it is clean. Even stains that are invisible to the eye know may show up over time and mar the appearance of the shirt. Therefore a fresh laundering is in order. The exception to this is when there is something special about the T-shirt that would be destroyed by washing it. For example if the autograph that makes a tee special were done in water-based markers, you should skip the laundry step.

The next step is to find a picture frame that is large enough to display the T-shirt full size. To have it folded often takes away from the look of it. Get a mat to fit the frame that is a contrasting color to the T-shirt to make it stand out even more. If a mat comes with the frame you can cover it with a different color or even a different print material to provide the needed contrast.

Make sure the T-shirt is well ironed and wrinkle-free before doing this next step. Using small pins, discreetly placed, pin the flat T-shit to the mat. Use enough pins on the top of the shirt to ensure that it does not slip, sag or fall once you hang it vertically. Pins on the sides and along the arms will also ensure that it stays in the shape you want it to.

A line of text about the T-shirt makes a great addition to the frame. This adds a touch of real memorabilia to your T-shirt on display. Remember to hang it in a prominent location away from direct sunlight to avoid fading.

Don’t have a T-shirt you’d consider hanging on a wall? Next time there is a special event in your life, a custom-made T-shirt is the perfect thing to wear. You can use it to say anything you want. You can get it autographed or simply wear it and hang it as a trophy of what you have accomplished. Custom-made T-shirts can do anything you want them to do and are perfect for framing.

If you happen to be torn over whether or not to permanently hang a tee on a wall, meaning you can no longer wear a favorite shirt, the problem can be fixed with a custom-made one. Create a duplicate of the shirt you are hanging, so you can wear it and preserve it at the same time. You might alternatively want to take a photo to have put on a new custom-made T-shirt honoring the one you retired or the event that made it special.

How to Dress Like You are from the 90s

Leave a reply

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

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

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

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

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

How to Dress Like Miranda Cosgrove

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

Dresses

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

Shoes

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

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

Casual Wear

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

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

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

Are Undershirts Sexy?

Leave a reply

Undershirts are often worn by guys of all ages. From little boys to retired gentlemen, undershirts are a common find in male wardrobes. There is a time in childhood, especially in cold climates, when little girls too wear undershirts, but for the most part, they are a male phenomenon. Whether or not undershirts are sexy is something that young men and teenagers tend to wonder as they get older and capturing the attention of the opposite sex is increasingly important.

Whether or not undershirts are sexy depends on many different factors. It primarily depends on whom you are asking.  If you are asking someone who grew up when undershirts and leather jackets were the epitome of cool, she is likely to say yes. If you ask someone who grew up when only nerds wore undershirts, she would say no. Most of today’s generation will tell you that it just depends on who is wearing it.

The wearer of the T-shirt will definitely help to determine if undershirts are sexy. For some guys, no matter what they put on, it will be sexy. For others, it just won’t be. If the person wears an undershirt with confidence and with other clothes that are sexy, then an undershirt will also be sexy, especially if he happens to be hot too.

Something else to take into consideration is the reason that wearing lingerie can be sexier than a woman being naked. Sometimes leaving a little to the imagination is sexier than showing it all. A guy who is nicely dressed with an undershirt under a button down will be infinitely more appealing than one who has his chest on display though a filmy shirt or from too many undone buttons.

Another factor to consider in the sexiness of the undershirt is the shirt itself. If your undershirt is in bad shape with holes, stains, major wear or fading, it will definitely not be seen as sexy. In fact, any hint of sexiness can be thrown off by a shirt in disrepair. It shows that you do not take pride and care in your appearance, which is definitely an unsexy trait. If your undershirt is dirty or dingy, it is also distinctively not sexy. Remember to take care of your clothes well if you are striving to look sexy. Women notice such details.

Posh, as she is known, loves nothing but the best.

The large Birkin bag also adds to the Victoria signature. Very high heels are a part of almost every look she puts together. Her love of style has even led her to creating her own clothing line called The Victoria Beckham Collection. The dresses in her line are very much designed for a woman’s body and you must have a great figure to be able to pull them off. She also has a line of sunglasses, jewelry, perfume, handbags and had a line of jeans several years back.

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

She is not one to indulge in prints and on the occasions that there are prints in her clothing, they tend to be so subtle that one can barely tell that it is a print.

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

Tips for a Man to Dress Like a Woman

Women’s clothing isn’t always as ways to put together as it may look when it’s on a woman. There are a lot of things to consider when dressing like a woman. It isn’t just a matter of what type of clothing is chosen and whether the outfit matches. There are a lot of things that woman consider when dressing that can make your look more attractive and more convincing.

When dressing like a woman, it’s important to choose clothing that will flatter your figure. On a woman, this often means that the pieces that are chosen are ones that play up the woman’s best features and play down any figure faults. On a man dressing like a woman, you can translate this into choosing pieces that will make you look more feminine and play down any figure areas that may look more masculine.

Creating a Waistline

To make the waist appear smaller and more feminine, choose something that has a waistline built into it. This can be a tailored jacket that carves out a waist on a male figure as well as it does on a woman’s. A skinny belt will also create the illusion of a woman’s waist, as will clothing items that have a horizontal strip across the middle.

If you want to get more creative with creating your outfit, use an attractive, brightly-colored scarf to create the waist line. Simply tie it around your waist as you would a belt and leave the ends free flowing and off center. You can tie at one side or off center in the front.

Creating Hips

Another aspect to making a figure look more feminine is to make the hips look larger than the waist. This can be done by wearing padding under the pants or skirt to make the hips look rounder. You might also try tying a sweater around your hips to add bulk to them. Wearing something that has a light color around the hips can also make them look larger. Another option is to choose something for the bottom half that is a size too larger to create more bulk in that area. This hides as well as emphasizes the hips. Just make sure that a larger size on the bottom doesn’t make the waist look too larger. This can be avoided by wearing a low-rise item that will not add bulk to the waist.

Necklines

The top part of your dress or blouse will have a lot to hide as well as some illusions to create. To keep chest hair or an Adam’s apple from showing, the neckline should be concealing. It should give the allusion of covering a bust line while not giving away a masculine-looking chest. Many men who dress like woman choose to wear a padded bra underneath their tops. A well-padded bra means that there is no need to wear any type of falsies. The bra will stand up by itself and will round out the outfit by creating some feminine curves.

Do High Neck T-Shirts Look Good on Men?

1 Reply

High neck T-shirts have gone through many periods of popularity. And while there have been times that they were not very popular, they generally have a classic look that goes well with a preppy, put-together style. High neck T-shirts are often considered to be a preppy look, and they are often worn with blazers or with dressy pants for this reason. A high neck T-shirt with a pair of tan pants is a classic look that has never gone out of style.

On men, there are many different ideas about what neck lines look best. For some women, seeing the little bit of chest that is visible with a V-neck T-shirt is the best look. Some women like to see men wearing A-shirts because they show off a man’s chest as well as their shoulders and arms. However, the high neck T-shirt is a very different look that gives a man a very different image. That image is generally a studious and thoughtful one that many women find very attractive.

When wearing a high neck T-shirt, it’s important to pair it with something appropriate for the entire look. Many men wear high neck T-shirts with jeans, and that is a good, coordinated look as long as the jeans are in good condition. A high neck T-shirt with torn jeans is a disjointed outfit that does not provide a cohesive look. A white high neck T-shirt with medium-blue jeans is a classic look, as is any black high neck T-shirt with dark blue jeans.

To really set off the look of a high neck T-shirt, pair it with an unbuttoned over shirt or a casual blazer. These both work well together with a high neck T-shirt and serve to call attention to the high neck. This in turn calls attention to the wearer’s face, and this can be a very attractive look.

To make it look even more preppy, wear neutral colors with your high neck T-shirt. A pair of tan or navy blue pants works well with a neutral colored high neck T-shirt in a coordinating color. Wear dark colored, neutral shoes with this look to keep it looking preppy. Black leather shoes or tan suede shoes will look best.

In many cases, a clean-shaven, short-haired look works best on a man when wearing a high neck T-shirt. A T-shirt with a high neck worn by a man with long hair can often lead to a messy look that doesn’t quite go with the preppy image of the shirt. Short hair will always work, but long hair will not coordinate well.

It’s also easy to make a high neck T-shirt look dressy. It can be an attractive look on a man when paired with a nice suit jacket and a dressy pair of slacks. The high neck can give a dressy outfit a bit of a fun look that can be attractive to many women. It’s a little bit unconventional and dressy at the same time, and that’s exactly the reason that it works.

Date

What to Wear & How to Dress for a Date

Leave a reply

Date

How you dress for dates says a lot about the way you feel about your date as a person. It can also tell your date a lot about your expectations for the evening. You don’t want to give the wrong impression and you don’t want to show any disrespect to your date.

Style

It is a good idea to show off your personal style to some degree. You don’t want to put on a different face and pretend to be someone that you aren’t. This is not the best way to get to know someone. You do want to tone down any over-the-top style so that person can have a chance to get to know you without being distracted by your outfit.

Occasion

What you wear should also be tailored to the occasion. If you’re going out to dinner in the evening, you should dress nicely in order to show respect to your date. For women, this usually means a dress or skirt. For men, it usually means wearing a nice pair of slacks and a jacket. If you show up in a sloppy outfit for a dinner date, you’re telling your date that he or she is not important to you.

If you are dressing for a casual afternoon date, you can wear jeans and tennis shoes as long as your clothing is clean and in good condition. Even wearing a t-shirt is fine as long as it looks good with your outfit and is well taken care of. Never show up on the date with holes in your clothes or with a dirty shirt.

For an outdoor date, wear rugged clothing to show that you are into the occasion. A picnic or hike in the woods requires jeans or other clothing that will hold up well.

Accessories

Even if you are trying to tone down your style for a date, you can still have a lot of fun with your accessories. These can even be something interesting to talk about when conversation is running slow. Try wearing funky sunglasses, vintage jewelry or hair clips that are interesting to look at.

If the weather is cold, make sure to dress accordingly. It may be tempting to wear something revealing even in cold weather or to skip the coat in order to show off your outfit, but this is not the way to have a good date. If you do this, you will be uncomfortable and may have a bad attitude throughout the date. This is not an attractive quality and it will not lead to having a good time for either of you. In respect to your date, make sure that you are comfortable and will not be complaining about feeling cold all evening.

If you are a woman, make sure you don’t take revealing dressing too far. This can give your date the wrong oppression about you. While it is the style right now to dress very revealing, you need to convey to your date that you are worthy of respect.

Success

How to Dress for Success

Leave a reply

Success

There’s an old saying that says if you want to be successful, you need to dress for the job you’re seeking instead of the job that you already have. This has worked well for people for decades, and it can work for you as well. If you are interested in a management position, you need to dress and act like a manager instead of like a person who needs a manager.

Casual Work Environments

The trend today is toward work environments that are more and more casual. This has lent itself to too many employees who look sloppy and who may not be considered for management positions because of it. Even if you are allowed to dress sloppily, resist the temptation to do so. After a long time, management will start to see you in that light and may not consider that you have bigger job possibilities within you.

Always arrive for work looking well put together and dressed in business casual at the very least. While you don’t have to wear a suit everyday, you should always wear dressy pants and a shirt that is suitable for a business casual environment. You might pair a casual blazer with your outfit. Never wear jeans to work, even if that’s what everyone else is wearing. If you want to be successful, you have to set yourself apart from what everyone else does.

Looking Professional

To achieve a professional look requires looking like you have come to work to do nothing but work. That means getting rid of the novelty ties, the pounds of jewelry and anything else that can only serve as a distraction to your business attire. For women, forget wearing a low-cut shirt. Wearing one might get you some attention around the office, but it will not lead to success.

For both men and women, cover up the tattoos and take out the piercings. You may feel that there’s no reason to cover them, but not everyone feels this way. If you take a stand in not covering them, you may jeopardize your future because if it. There are those who will judge you harshly if you have them showing, and that could cost you a promotion. You want to show your bosses that you are committed to the work you do there, and that means looking less like an individual while you are there. Feel free to uncover the tattoos, fill in the piercings and wear loud t-shirts on the weekends. While at work, you have to measure up to corporate standards.

For the best results, take a hint from the owner or highest boss of the company. Take a look at what they wear and try to emulate that style. They are the ones who best understand the environment of the business and they are the ones who you most need to impress. Of course, if the bigwig dresses very casually, that may not be the best course to take. The highest person at the company is not seeking the approval of the others and is not in line for a promotion and may have simply given up on corporate attire.
