Fashion is a general term for a popular life style, especially in clothing, accessories fashion and trends for this season.

Who Should Wear a Bodycon Dress

Bodycon dresses first came to prominence in the nineties, rising in popularity for the sleek lines they created on the female figure. The term refers to body conscious as this is definitely a dress worn to highlight the body rather than hide it.

A bodycon dress is essentially a tight fitting, figure hugging dress, made from elasticised material or composite material such as spandex or lycra. They tend to be short in length, usually falling to about mid-thigh level although you do occasionally see longer styles.

Due to their tightness, this style of dress certainly isn’t flattering for all figures. Ideally this dress works best on a woman with an hourglass shape that is having a bust and hips of roughly equal size with a narrow waist. When you consider the dress’s construction, tight stretchy material, it is understandable that those with curves will be better served than those without. These dresses are also generally low cut to show cleavage, which is why bustier women will look better than those with little chest.

Therefore, women with a straight up and down figure, or small hips and bust will find that the bodycon does nothing for them. Similarly a pear shape figure, that is hips that are much larger than the bust, will want to steer clear of this dress. Remember, there’s nowhere for your body to hide in a dress like this, and as pear shapes tend to have much larger bottoms without the counterbalance of a big chest, the bodycon will only highlight your problem areas and fail to capitalise on your good points.

Now, even if you are an hourglass figure, there are still many ways in which to wear a bodycon to suit the look you’re going for, as well as some pitfalls to avoid. Continue reading →

Vintage Clothing Guide – Antique, Vintage And Retro Fashion

Today, when you hear the term “vintage,” you would often classify the term not only with old classical memorabilia’s such as gramophones or vehicles, but also with clothing. The popularity of vintage clothing has never ceased to go out of fashion. Telling people that what you are wearing vintage adds a spark of coolness and awesomeness to your whole get-up. It adds an old classical vibe not only to your style of fashion, but also to your persona as the one wearing it. However, the term vintage has always been a topic of debate. People usually refer to it as a type of clothing that was created in the past. But then again, as with any type of fashion, vintage clothing can be divided into three main categories: antique, vintage, and retro.

The first type of vintage clothing is classified as antique. According to most vintage fashion experts, anything that was made before the 1920′s is considered antique. This type of clothing is obviously the hardest to find out of the three categories and are the most expensive because of their rarity. They are very rare that most of them can be only found in museums. Antique vintage clothes are not that type of clothes you see in normal person’s wardrobe. If you were to search them online or at vintage shops, you would find the prices soaring high up to thousands of dollars. They are too delicate and are more of collector’s item than that of a vintage fashionista’s thrill.

The second type of vintage clothing can be classified by simply calling it vintage. These are the type of clothes that were created from the 1920′s to the 1950′s. During the early 20′s, fashion began to have a more artistic look. Famous designers such as Schiaparelli and Patou began designing clothes out of drab fabrics. Fashion during these early periods displayed an art Deco look made out light fabrics in bold and light colors. After the 20′s, the classic Hollywood look became more prominent and were softer and feminine. In the 30′s, fashion became more glamorous and trousers became the new trend for men. However, in the 40′s, fashion became more practical due to the second world war when most designers used rayon as their main material in creating clothes. Moreover, in the 50′s, vintage clothing once again rose into fame, displaying feminine sleeveless and halter neck tops for women. By the end of the 50′s, fashion was all about femininity with skirts showing the curves of women. Continue reading →

What Makes A Brand Of Clothing So Popular?

Here, we are going to consider the Superdry brand. It is one of the most popular brands on the market to date, but many people do not understand why. These people tend to judge the brand on its popularity. They think that if it is popular, then the people that like if are simply followers of fashion, sheep, and trying to impress. This is not the case, though, there are many reasons that this brand stands out. We have to impress this fact: just because something is popular does not make it wrong, sometimes, it is just good, and that is why people like it.

The Oriental Feel

When Superdry first arrived on the market is was unique. It adopted an oriental style, namely Japanese.

Now, although Japan is an eastern country, it is very much westernised and probably the most on a par with Europe and North America – and in fact, in many ways, it is overtaking the west as technological, fashionable, and cultural leader.

Bringing a Japanese element into the clothing market attracted people, when we wear these clothes we feel somewhat more advanced and contemporary: at the forefront of globalisation.

This is why it proves so popular with the internet generation, and why it has not only managed to compete in the fashion world, but to gain a huge lead.

None of this oriental theme is fake, the designers actively visit Japan for inspiration. This gives the brand an authentic feel, which is hard to find on the high street: you know when someone is wearing Superdry, even if you cannot see the brand name.

Standing Out From the Crowd

Superdry clothing is especially popular amongst students and ex-students. This demographic, as we all know, loves to stand out from the crowd. Superdry allows them to do so, with its bold colours, it is exquisite, Uber cool embroidery, and its fine materials.

A Fantastic Range of Clothing

Superdry is a casual brand of clothing, so you will not find much by way of formal attire. However, within its casual collection, you will find many hundreds of styles. These include:

  • Hoodies
  • T-shirts
  • Shirts
  • Record Bags
  • Ruck Sacks
  • Sweatshirts
  • Joggers
  • Pyjamas
  • Underwear
  • Belts
  • Hats
  • Scarves
  • Gloves
  • Shoes
  • Etc…

There is so much to choose form that if you are searching for a complete casual wardrobe, you will be able to find everything you need from Superdry. However, we would recommend that having an entire wardrobe made up of Superdry clothing is taking it a little too far – some people do it, though, so you would not be alone. Continue reading →
