Fashionable Trapeze Dresses You Must Try On, plus How to Wear Them

A quick question girls, do you own a trapaze dress? It´s that shape of dress that is tight on the bust and extends freely as it reaches the hemline. It does look like letter A.

Trapeze dresses can be a little intimidating when you are used with tailored styles. And if you´re not careful, it´s easy to get a preggy look.

But in wearing trapeze dreses, you can create a stunning ensemble if you apply these tricks:

1. If you have thick arms, wear a sleeved style, or layer over a t-shirt.

2. If you're very busty, try a trapeze shirt or dress in a stretchy jersey with a scoop neck.

3. If you're very thin or small chested, try a stiff trapeze shift dress or top with spaghetti straps.

4. If you're very tall and find that trapeze dresses are a little shorter than intended on you, try layering up with some tight denim underneath.

5. To avoid looking pregnant in this silhouette, avoid overly exaggerated trapeze garments with multiple layers.

Rainbow brights are a massive trend for this season, so don’t be shy and dare to bare your legs in a primary colour on the high street. Vivid red, electric blues and sunny yellows are taking over the wardrobes of fashionistas everywhere, so make sure you don’t miss the chance to break out of boring black and white style. Colour blocking is another trend that too the catwalks by storm, so don’t be afraid to mix and match your block colours to really make the look your own.

Maxi dresses are another popular style of summer dress, and they’ve been hanging around for a few seasons now, but that doesn’t mean that they are yesterday’s news. This summer the maxi dress has been given a revamp and now you can enjoy various new styles that will definitely have you standing out from the sea of maxi dress wearing women that will be taking over the land shortly. One such style is the recent influx of sheer maxi dresses; delicate materials, layered upon each other in the form of tiered skirts, cut out panels and cheeky slits.

Maxi dresses are great for the summer as they keep you covered up, but the introduction of sheer materials adds a new layer of sexiness which can be achieved without showing off loads of flesh. If you want something a little sleeker, opt for one of the block coloured jersey styles which will cling to your curves.

If you visit K & Co, you can view their fab collection of maxi dresses. They also have a buy now pay later option which means that you can afford more of their stylish items!

Why Shop for Clothes Online

Shopping with friends is fun . We often need to tow our girls behind when we shop to have a gang to solicit ideas from. "What do you think with this color?", "Which one looks better?", "Do I look thin with this?", "Does it fit well my behind?" etc, etc.

But what if your girl friends are always too busy to give you company whenever you shop? What if your friends, even though they're stylish, don’t share your own sense of style? Do you content yourself shopping alone without a support team?

online shopping

Online shopping is the best alternative. Not only are online shops one stop and easily accessible, they also provide a wide range of information about the product and styling ideas through photos and articles.

Because girls can have too much of individuality, even for best friend, shopping with friends is no longer reliable. Online shopping however, if done right and with proper research, allows you to identify the fashions that reflect your taste and identity. Look for shops that provide assistance in shopping and give choices of apparels from which you can pick.

Should Red Soles be Made Exclusive for Louboutin?

Have you heard? Louboutin lost its battle against rival Yves Saint Laurent for the exclusivity of the use of red soles.

Louboutin has made the scarlet sole its trademark. If another high end label plays copycat, doesn't Louboutin have the right to protect his idea?

0321christian-louboutin-red-soles_fa

But "US District Judge Victor Marrero ruled that Louboutin -- even if widely recognized for its trailblazing use of red under the shoe -- could not stop competitors like YSL from doing the same thing." Read the story here.

This is because "Awarding one participant in the designer shoe market a monopoly on the color red would impermissibly hinder competition among other participants."

It may seem unfair for the true creatives but really, nobody owns ideas. It's akin to photography. If you took a photo of an unknown beach, you're the copyright owner of that photo. You own that photo, however, not the idea. If another photographer goes and take photo of the same beach, you can't stop him.

YSL argues that even Louboutin isn't the original of the red sole idea. YSL was quoted saying that the idea for red soles was "copied from King Louis XIV's red-heeled dancing shoes or Dorothy's famous ruby slippers in 'The Wizard of Oz,'"

But Louboutin did not derive the idea of the red soles like what YSL allegedly claimed. In fact, he had a very cool way of deriving the idea, read The True Story Of How Christian Louboutin Shoes Got Those Trademark Red Soles.

So girls, tell me what you think. Should Red Soles be Exclusive for Louboutin? Do you support the federal court's decision?

Swimwear Review – Sunseeker Gypsy by Lingerie Please

Women choose their swimwear with care, at times, even more than choosing a boyfriend. This is simply because swimwear, like other pieces of clothes, reflects a personality.

In buying a pair of swimwear, my rule is the same - designs that are unique, colors that are not too loud but certainly won’t dissolve into the background amidst a sea of swimsuits, materials that are refreshing to the skin and something that totally stands out.

swimwear by lingerieplease

I currently love a two-piece swimwear – the Sunseeker Gypsy – by Lingerieplease. In fact, examining all my swimwear, everything that I have is two-piece.

The Sunseeker Gypsy Slide Bikini Top has a halter neck fastening straps and back. It has sufficient padding for support, enough to add an illusion of bigger chests for the flat chested, but not too thick to worry those that are blessed with bigger chests.

The briefs come with a tie-side, hipster pant. The fitting, regardless of your size, is perfect to make the bikini rest on around your second hips, flaunting the fullness of derrière and the roundness of your legs.

I love the color details of this swimwear because it creates a gypsy look, definitely not your typical swimsuit.

Made of 84 percent Polyamide Nylon and 16 percent Elastane Spandex, the Sunseeker Gypsy requires care. Handwashing in warm water, rinsing and dripping it dry are one of the best way to make this swimwear last. Of course, steer away from iron and chlorine.

The color, style and body support make this lingerie one of the best two-piece bikinis you can wear if you are to spend a day at the beach or pool, hugging you in all the right places and making you get noticed.

With more durable materials and separate pieces that can be matched freely, Sretsis aims to make fancy more practical and practical more fancy.

The collection might be based on fantasy, but it thrives in reality so the lines are clean but still quirky. The ruffle blouses twit away, jersey dresses are comfortable enough to daydream in, maxi dresses are fit for daywear as well as partying while the use of color-blocked sleeves creates an illusion of strapless cocktail dresses.

Sretsis A/W 2011 encourages all daring souls to steal the thunders, dance in the rain, and levitate up to cloud nine … then look down to see the wind of change.
