Leopard Print !! Many of us would shy away from it. And why not, this animal print, once upon a time was associated with ‘trashy’. However, this season, its in trend and with many celebs rocking it, we think there ought to be some ways to incorporate the leopard print ( or any animal print ) into your wardrobe. 5 ideas to start wearing Leopard print: 1.Wear it as a casual cami, the lightness of the fabric and the style makes the print easy on the eyes and doesn’t feel overwhelming on your frame. 2. Self print, keep it subtle like the top below. 3. Size matters. Smaller print doesn’t shout for attention. 4. Keep it modern by choosing the print in fun colours like pink or blue (or both ;)) 5. If you are not yet inspired to wear the animal print as an entire piece of clothing, how about including it in your outfit as an accessory. Key style tip to remember, since this pattern is quite busy, match it with a plain outfit to make sure its not entirely lost in a combination of patterns and textures.

Elsa Schiaparelli, the italian designer who is credited with the use of shocking pink, coloured zippers on dresses, embroidered shirts, wrapped turbans, pompom-rimmed hats, the “wedge” heel, has also to her credit the creation of the culottes, which she wore in 1931 and shocked everyone. (More on this innovative, bold designer’s story, read here). Culottes or Gauchos, Gauchos or culottes…??? For general information, let’s clarify the difference between Gauchos and Culottes. While Culottes are knee-length, divided skirts, Gauchos end slightly mid-calf or just below and don’t look so much like a skirt but cropped pants. However, the terms are used interchangeably and that works just fine. So Culottes are back and these part skirt, part pants are not only practical but look very chic too.

Wardrobe staple: the versatile shirt dress

Posted by imageandme in Online shopping, Style For Women

Shirt dresses first became popular in 1950s, with Dior’s post world war II New Look. The shirt dress had a defined silhouette that included full skirts and cinched-in waists, notched collars and elbow length sleeves with cuffs. Creating an impression of a lengthened shirt that can be loose or tied in at the waist with a belt, the simplistic shirt dress style constitutes a staple wardrobe basic. We look at how this versatile fashion basic can be worn in many variations. 1. Distinctive features – collars, cuffs and pockets define the shirt dress. A neutral shade dress paired with a tan belt and some accessories that add the shine to lift the combination. Wear this in the day for casual meetings or to run errands. The soft fabric creates a drape that is comfortable and easy. 2. Known as shirtwaister, the shirt dress with a separate bodice and skirt was made popular by Doris Day and still remain a popular choice for pretty and feminine looks . Seen on Eva Mendes, a feminine version with a flowing skirt and a belt to create shape. The polka dots add dimension to the pretty look. Change the mood with bolder prints, patterns and lengths….
