Clothing that has loose threads, is worn or has missing buttons should be avoided as it can ruin the whole outlook of the dress. Be subtle instead of flashy and it will give the right impression in the workplace.

Choosing The Right Eye Shadow For Your Eyes

When you are dressing up to go out, your dress isn’t the most important thing. Your makeup helps you in polishing your face and gives it an attractive look. Eye shadow is an essential part of your makeup because it enhances the eye and makes them stand out. However, one needs to select the eye shade according to the color of the eye. Choosing the right eye shadow that goes well with your eyes can often turn out to be a project of art. A color wheel can often be used for this purpose as it’s quite simple to use. You have to locate your eye shade on the color wheel and select the shade directly across from it.

This will be the complimentary color that will do wonders for your eyes. Professionals, on the other hand, learn to select the color after experimenting. Here are some eye shades that can work with eyes of different color:

Blue Eyes

Because it is a naturally cool tone, warmer shades tend to work well for blue as they set this color of iris ablaze. Tawnier pigments aren’t necessary. Instead, women can use slate, gray-brown and even silvery blues. It is possible to use eggplant on navy blue eyes. However, keep in mind that too much eye shade on the eye isn’t good because it will distract people from the actual beauty of it. The ideal colors for blue eyes include gold, peach, champagne, bronze, yellow-beige and copper.
For an everyday look with blue eyes, it is best to keep it subtle and add only a little sparkle. When going for an unexpected and different look, try orange. This shade might not immediately come to mind when thinking of the iris shade, but pale orange will make the eyes pop and looks very pretty.

Brown Eyes

The widest range of options is available to women in terms of eye shadow if their eyes are brown. This is because in contrast to other eye hues, brown doesn’t compete with colors and remains neutral. Peach and warm bronze can give a toned-down look while teal or purple shadows can help brown eyes pop. The ideal color for brown eyes includes navy, green, teal, purple and bronze.

Green Eyes

The most beautiful shade for green eyes is some variation of purple. If violet is not a preferred color, one can also use shades of brown that carry a reddish tone. They aren’t too distracting, but can make the eyes pop as well. Pink, rust, sepia and purple are the ideal colors for green eyes.

Hazel Eyes

A range of tones can be found in hazel eyes; they have both brown and green shades and some even have flecks of gray or gold in them. They have a natural radiance and this innate spectrum of colors enables people to experiment with various shades for playing up hazel eyes. Plum, violet and lavender can pick up the hues perfectly. Pale gold should be avoided. Yellow-brown, deep purple, burgundy, dusty pink and gray are the recommended colors for these eyes.

Different color trends are introduced in every season to help people in outfitting themselves according to the latest style and fashion. The latest color trends for 2013, especially for women’s attire are mentioned here:

Earth Daze

First existing in the 1960s, Earth Daze is a color trend that came back to life in the year 2012 and is still going strong in 2013. The 1960s flair is quite evident in the shades of brown tones and burnt orange that give off peaceful ideas and tones of bewilderment at the same time.

Using these hues on patent leather and bamboo jersey will make a statement.

Next, unusual and bright forms can be found on fabrics that punctuate the ocean and water world and reflect movement and light. After tribal fashion, the concept of cultural fashion has become a hit with fabrics representing the various cultures of the world. 

The Accessory Trends For Women

Dressing up and looking beautiful is the dream of every women. A woman’s appearance isn't just about her dress; there are several other factors in play. Women have to consider their dress, shoes, makeup and the accessories that can give them a complete look. Most often, one tends to focus on the dress and makeup and ends up ignoring shoes and other accessories that are essential to setting off the attire. In terms of accessories, there wasn't much choice to be made initially as there were only a few items that people could select. However, with the passage of time and the change in fashion trends, the options in terms of accessories have been expanded.

The trends and style of accessories also undergo change in every season. Moreover, different things are used for pairing with different outfits in order to give them a unique and sophisticated touch. Some accessories that have become quite popular nowadays and can be used with several outfits and dresses are listed as follows:

Gladiator Boots 

A few years ago, the trend of ubiquitous gladiator sandals had set in and they became all the rage. No doubt they looked magnificent with various dresses, but gradually they went out of style. Now comes the trend of gladiator boots that have a fierceness about them, especially with their cutaway styles. Anyone looking to make an impression should definitely give these boots a shot. They can work with most dresses and are quite comfortable in comparison to heels and stilts.

The Leather Harness

A number of people thought that leather harness as a fashion accessory wouldn't last for more than one season. This seems to be a serious miscalculation on their part. The fetish fashion obsession may have given rise to the leather harness, but this trend has continued to evolve. As a matter of fact, each passing season has given it a new relevance and it has become one of the most popular accessories.

Fold Over Clutches

When going to parties or functions, having a clutch is essential. A simple, but effective accessory trend is that of a fold over clutch. You simply cannot go wrong with this clutch that can be used as an alternative of a handbag and can be placed under the arm without difficulty.

Baseball Caps 

Not every trend can be followed by everyone. Therefore, this particular accessory trend might be ignored by people as a whole. However, women who are looking for a sporty and casual twist to any high fashion outfit will find baseball caps to be one of the most viable accessories available.

Draping Hoods

A sportier and mysterious look; that’s exactly what these draping hoods offer. Use these hoods and scarves and stand out wherever you go. 

Exploring The Latest Sports Fashion Trends

It wasn't that long ago when sportswear comprised of throwing on a pair of loose pants, a cool cap and a slouchy shirt. This was the overall look that mostly leaned towards the boy in the word tomboy. The masculine influence was transparent initially and that was applicable to all fitness gear, basketball, football and baseball uniforms. It wasn't until the year 2012 when the trend started changing and a subtle return of femininity surfaced that meant minimal silhouettes and cleaner lines. The enthusiastic progress of fashion didn't slow down, but instead, it morphed into a completely new embodiment of casual and feminine chic.

The athletic wear no longer hints at specific sports and focuses on a sportier and rather slick attitude as it evolved to become increasingly subtle. Sports fashion has become completely sophisticated with the combination of immaculate styling and delicate volumes. When one wants to achieve a slightly different yet fresh perspective, it is important to consider the varying and changing fashion trends. The subtle quality of the garments gradually paved way for a polished vibe that forms the sportswear of today. Currently, the top color of choice is white because the purpose is to keep looks minimal, but to give basic silhouettes and clean lines.

Likewise, white is helpful in redefining the sporty aesthetic look into a much stylish manifestation that can also be contrasted with bold colors at different times. Sophisticated tailoring is also part of the sports elements. The luxurious sport garments of today have a sporty feel, which is being accentuated with mesh inserts. These highlight the sharp cuts of the sportswear. A regained sense of allurement and femininity is indicated by the cutaway points and midriffs. People can select their gear according to their personal aesthetics. They can remain true to their personal style and remain fashionably fit at the same time.

Basic silhouettes that have sport twists can be complemented easily and can also be dressed up or down, depending on the preference. Bodysuits, slick sport bras, dresses and tops and mesh skirts are some good options in this regard. A smooth transition between daily activities and styles can be assured effortlessly. Another smart take on stylish sportswear is the option of a t-shirt dress or even impeccably tailored shorts. The sports fashion trend may lean towards white, but doesn't completely rule out colors. For athletic and inspiring looks, one can also opt for bold hues.

Accessorizing of sportswear should be kept to a limit and should only comprise of a chic bag, a cool pair of sunglasses or simply a pair of wedges. This is minimal yet sophisticated. An androgynous look is also an option for women and can add a sports element to the attire. Transparent Perspex and plastic can complement any sportswear in a good way. A sporty mood can be injected in any type of outfit if it’s paired with the right accessory such as a baseball cap, which is extremely popular. It gives a stylish, put-together yet casual appearance at the same time.

Sophisticated and Versatyle Fashion Trends

It’s not uncommon for people to undertake a massive cleanup of their wardrobe at the beginning of every fashion season. People are usually in the habit of discarding old clothes and accessories and replace them with new ones to get a different and yet look. This means that people become ruthless when they are pruning their wardrobe and get rid of stuff they think is unnecessary. However, knowing what to throw away and knowing what to keep is very important. Otherwise, throughout the new season, one will keep wishing they hadn't thrown something out. Careful evaluation can prove to be handy in the long run.

Those who are cleaning out their wardrobes should keep in mind that some trends are everlasting and do not pay heed to restrictions of seasons and time. There are some clothing items that can be used anywhere and anytime and should remain an essential part of your wardrobe. Some of these items are discussed here:

Capes 

The cape is usually a winter layering item and perfect for it. Therefore, it’s pretty hard to imagine for people that it can come in handy in any other season as well. Not only are they useful, but they can be unexpected and pleasant in any month. They can be found in seasonal colors and can be used anywhere for a different and unique appearance.

Oriental-Inspired Clothing 

Oriental fashion can be used in warmer months as well. Asian influence has become extremely popular amongst various designers such as Prada and Etro and can be seen on the runway. You can use oriental-print silks and even kimonos, regardless of the season as they are sticking around for now.

Leather Skirts  

There is a misconception that leather is only restricted to winter. That’s not true at all. Leather works in all seasons and in a variety of occasion; all people need is a proper fashion sense. Leather skirts that people usually reserve for the winter can also be used in spring and summer. They are available in lighter weight leather and there are even light colors that can be found. Even black pleated leather will not look out of place, especially if it’s worn at night.

Playful Retro Pieces

Even the playful retro pieces that people indulge in are an everlasting clothing option. This can include the 1950’s style pencil skirts, costume jewelry and even vintage hats. They can include anything that is similar to the bright and bold look of the fashion of 1960s. You can be the retro bombshell babe and show off your body with cinching waists dresses or micro-mini mod dresses.

Metallics

Metallic hues never go out of fashion, regardless of season. They include silk, gold, lurex, bronze, leather and silver and they are highly popular on the runway. Metallics are on the shops no matter which season is prevailing as they are perfect for an elegant and stylish look. Throwing away metallics is not a good idea as they can prove to be extremely helpful in the long run.

Thicker Skin: The Leather Jacket Guide

Possibly the biggest staple in men’s fashion is the leather jacket. Even males who do not consider themselves “fashion forward” appreciate a leather coat. Because leather is available in different styles, colors, and cuts, the options may seem overwhelming. So, here's presented to you this guide to picking the best jacket for your closet.

1. Fit. Let’s face it; girls are not the only ones with different body types. Some men are lean, some are bulky, some have broad shoulders, and some have wide waists. Be sure to grab a jacket that fits you. Leather jackets are made to be snug, but be sure your coat is not to tight. Make sure you have free range of motion. Bend and stretch to make sure there is no uncomfortable restrictions or rubbing. Also, ensure the sleeves are long enough and the bottom of the jacket hits you at the waist.

2. Cut. Different cuts compliment different physiques. A bomber coat may be the best option for a lean man with broad shoulders while someone with a slimmer build may opt for a belted military coat. Of course the pea coat style jacket has crisp lines that compliments most figures, as does the motojacket.

3. Leather. Possibly the biggest decision you will have to make is the type of leather you want. For a jacket limited to biking use, chose thick cowhide leather that is at least 1 mm or .04 inches. This will offer the best protection against the elements as you ride. In addition, cowhide is best for winter months, as it is a thicker, warmer jacket. Lambskin is considered professional leather because of its sleek appearance.

4. Color. Jackets are not limited to the classic black of a Greaser jacket. Rather, leather jackets are available in all shades and hues. For a bold, fun look opt for a bright color, like red, blue, or green. For a professional look, the neutrals are your best option. This includes black, brown, tan, grey, navy, cream, and white. The best way to pick your neutral is to look at the rest of your wardrobe. If most of your clothes are brightly colored, black, grey, and navy are the best options. If you wear mostly earth tones, like brown, green, or tan, follow the trend with a brown, tan or cream jacket.

Undeniably, the leather jacket is an important piece of any man’s wardrobe. It adds an edgy but polished look to any outfit. Following these steps will help you find the perfect jacket exactly as per the ongoing fashion.

Adorn Yourself With This Season’s New Jewelry Trends

For me, jewelry has always been a hard thing to appreciate. I am much more likely to flaunt a new pair of Dr. Martin combat boots or a Lucky Brand Moto-jacket than brag about a new Marc Jacobs statement necklace or Cara earrings. However, this season is promoting versatile pieces for every style. From grunge to boho, these jewelry trends will bump a look to the next level.

As with all accessories, look for pops of color in jewelry this season. Neon is frequenting shop windows and magazine photographs. Quickly becoming staple item for any wardrobe, neon is a great way to liven an outfit. This color scheme is featured in everything from earring studs to chain necklaces. Another way to add a pop of color is through the popular stone statement necklace. Bulky necklaces with uncut stones of vibrant colors are an easy way to liven a soft toned dress or a simple blouse.

 

 

  

 

For a slightly edgier look, don some spikes or wrap bracelets. From rings to shoes, spikes are popping up everywhere in the fashion industry. Though they may seem fierce at first glance, they are actually a funky and fun way to liven a dull ensemble. The same effect can be achieved by wrap bracelets are simply straps of leather interwoven, tied together, or merely bundled. Often, the leather strap will feature beads, metal studs, or tribal patterns.

Vintage pieces are magnificent for ladies night out or date night. Featuring a mix of metals, gems and pearls, these accessories are classy and elegant, great for dressing up a casual dress or blouse. Typically, these pieces are hefty, so avoid wearing too many at once. Do not be afraid of overdressing, the unique design of vintage pieces will add elegance, but the soft hues will keep the elegance subtle keeping it casual.

 

Last but not least, making a huge comeback this season is the geometric style. Impressively adding visual diversity to any outfit, the geometric necklace is a go-to piece for all women. These pieces bring edginess, sophistication and flare to every outfit. These pieces can be worn with a Baggy t-shirt and jean shorts or a maxi dress and gold gladiator sandals.

In short ladies, opt for visually dynamic pieces. Whether they have vibrant colors, interesting shapes or edgier aspects, be sure to pick pieces that portray your personal style. Using these pieces will undeniably enhance your wardrobe. It is time to step away from unadorned outfits. It is time to embrace these trends.
