Move aside romper... and make way for the return of the overalls! Hate to break it to ya, but the 90's fad is back on the runway, and who couldn't be more excited then Alex Mack?? Most say they would not be caught dead in a pair, and others
say they are extremely excited to buy them in an actual store instead of resorting to a thrift store. Overalls have come a long
way—from boyish and baggy to sleek and form fitting. In today’s world if it’s not flattering to the body it’s not
worth a woman’s time. Making the
article of clothing tighter and trendier to enhance a woman’s curves while
hiding unflattering areas, it seems as if overalls have great potential to make
a successful comeback.
“GOTTA GO PUT MY YOGZ ON”
Did I just hear you refer to yoga pants as “yogz?” Sweats have come a long way—it only took about half a lifetime for wearing them to class to become acceptable. ”Athletic gear” nowadays is more fashionable than ever. Most people wear yoga pants, trendy workout shirts, and sneakers which tends to say, “I’m going straight to the gym”—this my friend is very unlikely. It is now just an easy way to say—“hey I didn’t feel like getting dressed today, but I am going to give the impression that I’m on my way to workout“—this is by all means acceptable (coming from a coach potato) just don’t make “going to the gym” a fad… do it for yourself, not because everyone else is doing it.
BOYFRIEND PREVENTOR
We all know that nail polishes now come in an abundance of unique colors, but will the pukish greens, bright blues, neon yellows, even tacky oranges hold their place in the market in such a fashion forward world? Most men do not think so. They think these new polish colors are unattractive on a girl and makes them look childish. So if you are currently on a hunt for a significant other, I would say stay away from polishes that stray from the ordinary!
T-SHIRT TIME!!!
Nope, not this time…. Do NOT wear the performing band’s t-shirt when attending their concert. If you buy merchandise at the venue, do NOT put it on during the show. You may think you’re making the impression that you are a die-hard fan and that you bought the shirt to support them, but you just look foolish. This goes for hand-made shirts as well—save it for another time and place, preferably not around a lot of people.
NOT YOUR MOTHER’S JEANS
Based on the SNL skit that aired a few years back, “Mom jeans” are noted as far from trendy. They are baggy in the front, in the back, and in the legs. But, most importantly, they are high-waisted—their signature characteristic. Hate to break it to ya, but high-waisted jeans are in style for young adults now… of course tighter and made from a much more sophisticated denim. Paired with a dressy tucked in shirt fashionistas can instantly make casual into dressy.
PEACE LOVE & SEQUINS
If you don’t own an article of clothing that includes sequins, you shop with your eyes closed. Sequins are always popular around Christmas and New Years, but this year they are here to stay. You name it… shirts, pants, shorts, scarves, headbands, shoes—if you are trying to keep up with the fads this year, then sequins are a must have. However, I sure as hell hope stretchy sequin belts from Canal Street circa 1999 do not make a return.
GUYS I’M A MODEL!
Let the Victoria Secret Angels do their job. Girls, last time I checked, posting half naked pictures of yourself taken by a no-name photographer on Facebook and titling it “Model Shoot from xx/xx/xxxx” does not make you a professional. Pictures of you in just your underwear do not define you as a model—models are destined for the spotlight and look good in mostly anything that they wear. Can’t say that for everyone.
