Trend Alert : Maxi Dresses

Photo Credit : Lookbook.nu (Dresses from H&M)

Honestly, I wasn’t a fan of  Maxi Dresses but now, I just love them. These maxi dresses have made a return as the dress-of-the-moment for Summer 2010. The season sees a wide variety of fits and fabrics to flatter all ages and shapes. In contrast to Summer 2009’s body-con dresses, maxi dresses are  fresh, relaxed and cool, providing great coverage but maximum comfort on a hot summer day or balmy evening. Casual day wear oozes a barefoot hippie vibe whilst dreamy dresses in pretty prints and longer-lengths make them glamorous enough for evening wear.

How to wear them?

1 : If you are shy of showing your shoulders and arms, here is a way to wear a cardigan without looking frumpy. Choose a long and loose cardigan in a contrasting color and avoid from buttoning up the cardigan.

2 : Accessories can make or break your look, so choose them with care. The ideal accessories to pair with maxi dresses are gold bracelets or thin gold bangles and a huge jeweled cocktail rings.

3 : If you are tall, wear flat shoes with your maxi-dress. If you are short,  you can definitely mix the maxi dress with some cool wedges or heels!

4 : If you want to know how to wear maxi dress to work, here is a great way. Choose a style that is not too baggy at the bottom and stick to single solid colors etc, lime green, jewel tones, cobalt blue and deep wine colors as these colors are suitable for all skin tones.

5 : If  you’re getting ready for a party, a maxi dress is definitely a great choice. Just because it’s night, the dress doesn’t have to be black. This season is all about patterns and colors, so don’t be afraid to choose something like that.

Trend Alert : Neon Nights

Photo Credit : WhoWhatWear

Neon colors are no longer considered a faux pas in fashion. The designers’ tendency to evoke the trends of the 80’s is surprising. However, many people welcomed it with excitement. Fashionphiles can experiment with the endless palette of colors during the season, creating real outfit masterpieces. But, there is a catch ; Neon colored clothes can be very tricky if we aren’t aware of some principles on how to wear and accessorize acid green, muted neon, pink or in cases electric blue clothes.

Fashion Tips

1. It is best to ameliorate the bright colored apparels with neutral and simple colors, etc, black, white and beige. For example, when you are wearing a bright pink dress, work in your favorite black heels or pumps. The neutral colors will help balance out the different colors in the wardrobe.

2. Accessories are also very important, one neon colored piece in your outfit is enough to create the proper atmosphere, don’t spoil it with hoops and bangles. Choose neutral colored earrings/earstuds, simple fantasy jewelry or minimal cuffed bangle ; these will match your vivid outfit.

3. If you’re rather shy to wear neon colors, try it on a clutch or a tote, small or medium-sized, it’s perfect for accessorizing a monochromatic outfit. Place the neon piece of clothing on the favorite part of your body, because it will immediately attract other’s attention. Avoid wearing it on your thickest part, if you’re blessed with curvaceous hips and rich bosom.

Trend Alert: Crop Tops

Photo credit: Style.com | Elle.com | Elle UK | Wildfox Couture

Do you still remember those crop tops from the 80s and 90s? Just like many other current fashion trends, crop tops have also resurfaced after all these years. It’s true what they say, fashion trends are cyclical.  This look has been spotted on the runways of Alexander Wang and Erin Wasson x RVCA to name a few. But nope, it doesn’t look anything like when Britney Spears bared her belly back in the 90s. Thank god.

How to wear it?

You can definitely steal this look and put your own individual style in it. A crop top is quite a versatile piece, it can be paired up with a lot of things from harem pants to skirts or high-waisted shorts. So have fun experimenting with it!
  1. Some of us may like to show a little more skin, some may not. If you want to flash a little skin, try pairing a crop top with high-waisted pants/trousers. Keeping the lines clean will help tame the sex appeal associated with a crop top.
  2. Pair a boxy crop top with a fitted ribbed tank dress to contrast the proportion of the shirt.
  3. If you’re feeling bashful about wearing a full-on crop top, try a short high-low shirt that provides the illusion of a crop top.
  4. Continue the flowy line of a maxi dress with a baggy cropped top layered on top.

Trend Alert: Clogs

Clogs are back! Power fashion houses like Chanel, Miu Miu, Louis Vuitton and Alexander McQueen are showing them of in their latest runway. Buzz are still going around if this footwear is going to be either a fashion do or dont. But it seems like its a fashion do for most of us! There is an edge to this chunky footwear which surprisingly can be mix and match with mostly everything- summer dresses, skinny jeans, ciggarate pants, any which. Plus, maybe we need something different to wear because it has always been about flats and heels. I guess clogs came in the right time.

Unfortunately, its quite rare to find clogs in Malaysia. Dont fret just yet because Lush Serendipity is taking pre-orders and the price range is from RM65-RM55 which is ridiculosly cheap! Grab them quick because today is the last day to order. You dont want to miss this chance. Even I want to get these clogs for myself.
