Fashion This Week

For Girls:

If You Could Start & Stop a Trend

Trend to stop:

1. Hoop earings: MUST GO, they look really cheap and make you look like a pirate.

2. Peasant Tops: If you wear a bra, I suggest most not-likely to wear a peasant top.

3. Make-Up on young kids: My parents have a theory that wearing make-up all the time makes you look nice, but when you take off the make-up you look terrible and most fashionably don't look as good as the other kids/girls wearing make-up!!!!!

Trend to start:

1. Baseball T-shirts: are really cool and look good on everyone.

2. Denim Shoes: Look awesome stylish and cool with any out fit.

3. Denim Jackets: AS some people like I say there's nothing like a good 'ol denim jacket and it goes with anything.

What's the rule for wearing jean jackets and jeans?

Do they have to match and do they have to be the same color?

Let's see. This is somewhat of a complicated question because sometimes mixing jean colors can look really tacky. If you're wearing really dark bottoms and have a light jean jacket that is semi-ok. If you have all light on then it's ok..it gives you that vintage look...even if they are dark sometimes they can be compatible. the best thing is to ask a friend for their color theory. What's really hip right now is the full matching jean outfit.


For Boys:

Match, don’t match

Certain color combinations almost always work. Complementary colors, such as blue and orange, create high contrast and draw attention to the wearer. A good strategy for pairing complementary colors is to wear a lot of one and a little of the other. For instance, a blue shirt with orange racing stripe or blue button-up shirt with pumpkin tie creates a punchy, vibrant look. Blending values close to each other on the color wheel makes for an elegant, harmonious look. Blue and green or blue and purple patterned shirts are hot right now. Resist the temptation to match colors exactly. While a monochromatic look comprised of various shades of the same color, such as blue or purple, can work very well, matching exactly affords no dynamics and makes the wearer blend into the background and look dull. Focus on contrast.

If used well, these simple tips will help you build a look that incorporates color and flair, contrast and life, and maximum style.
