Fashion Is in the Bag

2012-02-04T09:59:00.000-08:00

Handbags historically have been the carriers of secrets and a sign of power, status, and beauty. The holders of the necessities of daily life. Handbags have influenced technology and social changes, such as the beginning of money, jewelry, transportation, cosmetics, cell phones and the role of a woman in the social arena.

Purses, pouches, or bags have been used since people have needed to carry precious items. In ancient times pouches were made of leather or cloth and were mainly used by men. They wore them around their waist. Judas Iscariot was specifically identified in the Bible as the purse holder.

In the fourteenth and fifteenth century era men and women attached pouches to their most important feature of the clothing of the medieval times which was the "girdle". A drawstring purse would hang from a string and would vary according to the fashion, status, and lifestyle of that person. The most significant bag of the medieval times was the seal bag that were used to place the leaders seal upon important documents.

During the sixteenth and seventeenth century, the Elizabeth era, girdle pouches were worn under their skirts of the women. Men would wear, "baggies" as they were called, inside their pants or cloth bags across their bodies. Toward the end of the century purses became more complex in shapes and materials.

In the eighteenth century because of the dress and style for women, the slender dress, there was no room for pockets. Purses became most popular and were called "reticules" or "undispensables" for the English and the French called them ridicules.

In the nineteenth century, the Victorian Era, science and industry created a large variety of styles and fabrics which coordinated with their outfits. Even though pockets returned women continued to carry purses. However, with the coming of the railroad handbags were about to evolve. Thus, became the term "handbag". Handbag was the term given to describe hand-held luggage bags.

During the World War 1 a new type of handle-less clutch were designed it was named "pochette" These clutches were often decorated with dazzling geometric and jazz motifs.

In 1940 the rise of the shoulder bag happened. The bags became more self-sufficient. They came with zippers and mirrors. In 1950 an accessorizing and color coordinating were held to an almost morale standard. These new looks signaled a new era of femininity which a very small implied beauty and sophistication. In other words a smaller bag sends a different sexual message than a woman carrying a huge shoulder bag.

In the 1980's through the 1990's thus became the unisex bag. For the first time health and fitness sports bags and work bags became considered as an accessory and greatly influenced high fashion.

Leather Coats and Jackets for Women

2012-01-27T11:26:00.000-08:00

Women's Leather Coats and Jackets are of excellent quality and make a fashion statement like no other. No more wool, cloth or polyester coats; you will freeze in those materials. Leather is nice and warm and durable and provides an excellent amount of protection. Winter months are no longer chilly with a high quality leather jacket. There are a variety of materials, styles, colors and retailers that are willing to share their fashion with many consumers.

Leather coats and jackets are offered in many different styles. Women can purchase double-breasted leather pea coats in common colors like black or brown. The style of the pea cot is very popular among women and can be combined with the love of leather. Leather trench coats make an excellent fashion statement to compliment any outfit.

If not interested in a pea coat or a trench coat, women's leather coats and jackets can also be purchased in the form of a nice blazer. Blazers can be worn with just about any outfit whether wearing jeans and a t-shirt, business, or casual attire. Mix and match your jackets to fit your style any time of the year.

Hooded jackets, coats, pleated coats and belted jackets are all other options when purchasing this type of clothing. The endless amount of options is present for leather apparel. Leather apparel is also offered in many different types of leather. Consumers can choose to have leather made out of lamb, sheep, buffalo and cow hide. Each type of leather has a different texture and different quality. Leather types are chose based on personal preference.

Nubuk and Suede leather coats and jackets have a very smooth and close to cloth like feel. They are very soft, but also damage easily if not protected from water and moisture. Another type of leather used for apparel is aniline leather. This leather is extremely smooth and of high quality. It is used on some of the best leather coats and jackets produced by current retailers. If looking for a high class style I would definitely go with aniline leather.

Anyone can find a nice leather jacket in stores or online. There are many different sizes to accommodate individuals large and small. The material is extremely durable and marketable to any individual. It is not for just bikers or NASCAR drivers, it is a great jacket for anyone. If needing a jacket for more than style and warmth, a retailer is the best way to go. A lot of their material protects from road burn for bikers as a safety measure.

Fashion is extremely important today whether using it as a socializing tool, to look great at work or to look good for you. Leather coats and jackets provide a nice look for any individual regardless their activities or field of work. It is an extremely durable material and provides the needs for warmth and protection. The many diverse styles makes it hard to ever purchase another material for a coat or jacket.

Mens Suits and Dressing for the Office

2012-01-09T09:54:00.000-08:00

When you're starting a new job, you'll want to make sure you dress right: first impressions are important. That doesn't always mean the full-on men's suit, but opting for smart casual by default is another risk. Too informal makes you look unprofessional, as if you aren't taking your work particularly seriously. There can also be a sense of 'dressing for the part'; even if what you're doing doesn't demand smart clothes, you're expected to wear them anyway. When you are dealing with clients this is even more important, since you are the public face of the organisation and their reputation depends in some measure on how you come across. On the other hand, dressing too formally if that's not the ethos of the company is another pitfall. You don't want to stand out as stuffy or up-tight. The problem is judging where to pitch it.

Of course, what it's appropriate to wear will depend a lot on both the company itself and the general sector. Working in IT will usually give you more latitude than if you're a lawyer, for example. The problem is you won't necessarily know until you've been there a while. A good men's suit will always be an asset, and is extremely flexible in terms of the impression it can give, but it's still worth bearing a few principles in mind.

Taking your cues

Firstly, few people begin a job without some experience of the organisation. You will likely have visited the office at least once before starting. Make sure you note what others are wearing - not just one or two, but the feel of the place in general. If not, then your interview is always a good guideline. Start your first day wearing something broadly as formal as your interviewer was wearing. If you are in any doubt, dress a shade smarter than you think is appropriate. It's better to come in looking over-dressed and take it down a notch or two the next day than to start work looking too casual. If you're really worried, take a look at their website - there will almost inevitably be a few carefully-chosen pictures of staff on it.

This is where a good men's suit can work wonders. Every man should have at least one suit that's suitable for those formal occasions, including weddings, funerals and job interviews. Something classic and understated is perfect. The style at the moment is a sleek, timeless look that emphasises masculinity - not something that is going to date quickly. In the absence of better information (which might include a carefully-defined dress code for some companies, though by no means all have them), such a good quality men's suit should be your starting point.

Men's suits: the flexible option

The great thing about a decent suit is that it gives you so many options. Men's suits are generally simple but respectable, and are amenable to huge variation depending on the circumstances. So, you might start with the full works, but quickly realise that no one else has bothered with anything beyond smart casual. No problem; a jacket can be left on the back of your chair, a tie can be removed and pocketed. Dressing down at short notice is far easier for men than women.

Once it's clear what the dress code is, you are of course free to wear what you like within those criteria. Should you be in any doubt, there's absolutely nothing to stop you asking either your boss or colleagues. (Should a colleague criticise your dress sense, incidentally, make sure you know why - and get a second opinion before you act on it, unless it's your boss's advice.) In general, a good men's suit is rarely a liability and will serve you well until you find your feet.

Trendy 2012 Fashion Tips For Your Office

2011-12-31T10:51:00.000-08:00

However, since not all of us are blessed with a ginormous closet filled with beautiful garments, we can still be fashion forward with just a few items that are in this year. You can update your office wardrobe without having to bust your budget. Wanna know how? Here are some tips.

TRENDY 2012 FASHION TIPS FOR YOUR OFFICE

1. Go For Pastels

Spring 2012 is all about pastel shades, and so why not update your look with these? Pick items that are fit for your age and work area. Use crisp and streamlined designs. If you are in for an office casual look, you can choose a pastel colored blazer such as bubblegum pink and then put it over a neutral colored top and a pair of sleek jeans. Accessories will help pull the look together.

2. Orange Burst

Be a head turner with this year's official color:orange. From tops to bags, this color evokes a really energetic vibe that will definitely be hard to miss at work. If you think that the color is too loud, opt for subtle shades. Try wearing an orange polkadot top and pair it with your favorite pants. Make it look more retro glam with accessories.

3. Nautical Beauty

This trend, which is popular during the summer time, can add a unique edge to your work wardrobe. A red top paired with white pants can make a lot of hearts flutter. Gold accessories like statement necklaces and bracelets will complete the look. You can also dress up a neutral top with a navy blue brass buttoned shirt for that sleek and crisp vibe.

4. Awesome Bold Prints

Bring this trend into the workplace by wearing items that give a not so loud statement. Tone down a loud printed top with a neutral colored bottom and blazer. Accentuate it with the use of simple accessories. You wouldn't want to use equally loud statement pieces since your top is already a statement itself. If prints are not your thing, use statement accessories that have loud designs. It will spice up a boring outfit instantly!

Swimsuit History

2011-12-17T08:47:00.000-08:00

Swimsuits are garments that are worn during swimming or sun bathing. Styles range from shorts for men to tiny bikinis for women. They can be skin tight or loose fitting. The most popular men's swimsuit is shorts but some men wear thongs or other tight swimwear. Women's swimwear includes one piece swimsuits, bikinis, and monokinis. There are variations of each of these, including sheer material and skirted swimsuits.

The monokini has recently gained popularity in the United States but has been popular in South America and Europe for years. Monokinis are one piece suits that wear like a bikini. They are typically open on the front, sides, or both. Most swimsuit history covers on and two piece suits that covered a lot more than the swimsuits of today.

Swimsuit history can be traced back to the 1700's. Women's swimsuits during this time were, essentially, dresses with weights attached to them to make sure they didn't float up and reveal anything. Men's swimsuits during this time were made of wool and covered most of the body, including arms and legs.

A century later the two-piece swimsuit was born. It was far from the bikinis of today as it consisted of a gown that hung from the shoulders to the knees and leggings underneath that stretched to the ankles. In the early 1900's you could be arrested for indecent exposure if your swimsuit didn't cover your arms, legs, and neck. It was around this time that swimsuits began to be slightly tighter fitting and began to shrink in size. The collars disappeared and arms were beginning to be shown. Legs were still partially covered but only down to the middle of the thigh.

The original bikinis were introduced in the 1920's. These were much less revealing than the bikinis of today but they did show bare skin between the top and bottom. It wasn't until the 1960's that bikinis began to shrink in size. Until then, tops were made to cover more than just the breasts and bottoms came up to cover the navel. From the 1960's through today, swimsuits have shrank in every way. Necklines dropped and bottoms, sometimes barely cover anything. These bathing suits are far removed from the wool bathing gowns of the 18th century.

The Big Four Fashion Weeks: New York, London, Milan and Paris

2011-11-30T07:45:00.000-08:00

In 1943, New York held the first Fashion Week, and has been the quintessential idea of fashion week ever since. Now known as the Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week, it does seem to be the most commercialized of the big fashion shows, in that the clothes are created ready-for-market. Its styles and designs are arguably a lot 'safer' than the other three locations.

In 1984, London jumped on the fashion train and recently has been making a splash with its high-end couture. London Fashion Week has not yet reached the commercial level of New York and is less likely to follow fashion trends. Rather, each London fashion house showcases its unique take on fashion-forward concepts, and their collections are still market ready. The heavy hitters in London like Richard Nicholl, Christopher Kane and Giles Deacon are all amazing designers who produce commercially viable collections that would stand out at any of the fashion shows around the world.

Milan's version of the week was established in 1958 and is part of the Big Four internationally. It is owned by a nonprofit association which disciplines, coordinates and promotes the development of Italian Fashion and is responsible for hosting the fashion events and shows of Milan called Camera Nazionale della Moda Italiana. The original Italian Fashion Week was not held in Milan, instead it was held in Florence at the hands of Giovan Battista Giorgini. He held the first "fashion parade" in the living room of his house "Villa Torrigiani". Then the Italian week later moved to Rome, and then Milan where it is currently held in haute style today.

Paris is known as the fashion capital of the world, and holds the finale position in the fashion show tour. Paris Fashion Week brings each season's chaotic schedule of international fashion weeks to an end. High-end French designers include: Christian Dior, Coco Chanel, and Louis Vuitton along with many more stunningly talented designers. Typically, Paris has some of the most extravagant shows, especially with Paris Couture Week.

No matter which of the Big Four is your favorite, each week is sure to dazzle its audience with new haute couture designs year after year. In addition to haute couture trends, innovative fashion designs have also been making a big impact, especially in New York, the only location that allows a fashion school to feature its students' designs, which are often very fresh and inspirational. It is definitely important to keep up with the latest runway styles from all four weeks to stay on top of upcoming trends for the next season.

Neat Styles In Childrens Clothing

2011-11-22T09:42:00.000-08:00

Unless the kids are at the playground, it is generally accepted that childrens clothing will be neat. Some children are naturally clean, but for others it remains a serious challenge. What can parents do to help our kids?

For a child who is prone to ruining clothing, it may seem counter intuitive to buy expensive childrens clothing. However, outfits made from cheap fabric stain more easily than well made outfits do. Spend the extra money to get material made from natural materials. Even after multiple washings, polyester and other man made material is more likely to retain stains and the odor of perspiration.

Using the appropriate washing methods on childrens clothing will help keep it looking tidy for longer. Remember to wash sweaters on gentle and place on drying racks horizontally to prevent stretching. Knitted sweaters that are safe for machine washing will pill more if put into the dryer. Take a moment to use a stain stick on oily dirt before washing to prevent it from setting in the cloth. Blood, often found on childrens clothing from minor accidents, must be soaked and washed in cold water or it will permanently stain the fabric.

Keep your child's habits in mind when selecting colors and patterns for their garments. Heathered knits and small, busy patterns do a better job of hiding small stains than solid colors do. It goes without saying that white and light colors are generally a bad idea for most kids.

If your childrens tops are not staying tucked into their pants or skirts, a belt may help keep the shirt in place. If it pulls out anyway, wearing a vest that drapes past the waistline will hide most shirttails. While it is considered fashionable to have them extend below the level of the sweater or vest by some, it presents as sloppy looking. T-shirts look especially disheveled looking when hanging out past a sweatshirt or other outwear.

For kids too old to wear bibs at mealtime, encourage them to put a cloth napkin or kerchief around their neck to protect their shirts. If they are reluctant to do so, wearing a casual sweatshirt over their clothes can keep their shirts clean. Another common cause of spills on clothing is drinking in the car. If the child is thirsty and can not wait until after the car ride, sippy cups and sports bottles will prevent most messes. Keeping a spare change of clothing in the car for emergencies is practical at any age.

Remember that changing out of school clothes into play clothes and reserving dress clothes for formal occasions will help to preserve the condition of the garments. It is a habit that many of us have fallen out of, but is an easy way to help prevent staining and tearing.

5 Shoes That Every Woman Needs In Their Wardrobe

2011-11-15T09:41:00.000-08:00

Whilst it is not a certainty it is a cold hard fact that the majority of women can become ridiculously excited over a pair of shoes; and why not? Of all the things in life shoes are always a great addition to the wardrobe, can make or break an outfit and can mean the difference between being formal and casual. But there are certain types of shoes, regardless of style that should be a staple in every woman's wardrobe:

1. Low Heel Pumps

Low heel pumps are suitable for a huge range of different occasions. The heel, not in excess of 3 inches helps to ensure that these pumps are comfortable for everyday wear and normally the closed toe makes them suitable for formal and informal occasions. Depending upon colour and style, low heel pumps can be matched with dresses, jeans or even a trouser suit.

2. Dress Heels

The ubiquitous high heel is a mainstay of many wardrobes ideal for more formal occasions and late night revelry. In turn they come in their own styles, from sling backs and closed backs to open and closed toes. Normally this heel will be slightly higher than the pump at around 4+ inches to provide that extra height.

3. Tall Boots

Riding boots, knee highs or just shin high boots are an immensely popular choice. They are ideal in the winter when they provide extra protection from the elements and can be bought either as flats or with a heel, making them a highly flexible addition to a footwear collection.

4. Ankle Boots

The lower ankle boot provides all the flexibility of the tall boot and then some. They can be twinned with a range of outfits and in terms of styles can range from brogues to pointy suede dressy numbers. Once again the heel height can vary from flat to low pump, even to stiletto height for a more formal, eveningwear option.

5. Sandals

Getting your toes out in the summer is a must making sandals are vital addition to any collection. Summer sandals can be strappy gladiator styles or just merely beach thongs but with a huge choice of summery colours and styles they are the ideal choice for barbeques, days at the beach and sunny afternoons in the park.
