Plus Size

Weekends are made for relaxation and leisure! Oh, if only that were true for everyone, as there are some people who have to go to work, while others carry on with their hectic lifestyles and are busy doing household chores or tidying the garden!

For those who don’t have to go to work casual clothes are the order of the day! This can be simply popping on a favourite pair of jeans, a tee shirt and flat pumps to go shopping or opting for a comfort of tracksuit bottoms and tee shirts.

Nowadays sportswear is not only worn by people participating in sport. Bid brand names have revolutionised the way people dress casually, as such they too have their own fashion designers creating new and fabulous collections for the catwalks.

This year the feminine fashion look is very trendy with use of soft colours and luxury tactile fabrics. Jogging bottoms remain in-vogue in baby pinks and muted greys, while black continue to be a popular colour due to its versatility to coordinated with a wide range of other colours.

Velour jogging bottoms offer a very soft and luxurious feel and are a great alternative for the more traditional jogging bottom fabrics. Teamed with a tee shirt or hooded jacket they provide a simple yet chic style.

Sportswear must be comfortable, as such jogging pants usually have elasticised waist bands and/or drawstrings for providing exceptional comfort. Tee shirts can be either close fitting, which is ideal for showing off a slim body shape or large and baggy for ultimate casual comfort!

Choose you sportswear in the same way as you would any other style of clothing, for example those which suit your body shape and in colours which flatter your figure! Large baggy tee shirts are definitely acceptable however they should not be wrinkled, creased or lost their crisp whiteness, if they are supposed to be white. If you abandon your dress style you may end up looking like an old dish cloth rather than trendy and stylish!

Footwear should also be given close attention. There is no need to live and die in trainers unless you are exercising or playing a particular sport. Soft and casual pumps style shoes which have been designed to coordinate with sportswear are ideal for completing your sporty look.

With the warmer weather approaching fast three quarter length jogging pants are great for women who wear plus size sportswear and those who don’t like to show the top of their legs or have saggy knees! Teamed with a tee shirt or tracksuit style top they provide a trendy and very casual, yet chic look.

Dress

The primary purpose of clothing is functional, as a protection from the elements. Clothes also enhance safety during hazardous activities such as hiking and cooking, by providing a barrier between the skin and the environment. Further, clothes provide a hygienic barrier, keeping toxins away from the body and limiting the transmission of germs.

Clothing performs a range of social and cultural functions, such as individual, occupational and sexual differentiation, and social status.[1] A uniform, for example, may identify civil authority figures, such as police and military personnel, or it may identify team, group or political affiliations. In many societies, norms about clothing reflect standards of modesty, religion, gender, and social status. Clothing may also function as a form of adornment and an expression of personal taste or style.

Throughout history, many materials have been used for clothes. Materials have ranged from leather and furs, to woven materials, to elaborate and exotic natural and synthetic fabrics. Recent scientific research estimates that humans have been wearing clothing for as long as 650,000 years. Others claim that clothing probably did not originate until the Neolithic Age (the “New Stone Age”).

It can be said that there are five primary factors in clothing comfort, “identifiable as the ‘4 Fs of Comfort’ (1) fashion; (2) feel; (3) fit; and (4) function. [3] One of the primary purposes of clothing is to keep the wearer comfortable. In hot climates, clothing provides protection from sunburn or wind damage, while in cold climates its thermal insulation properties are generally more important. Shelter usually reduces the functional need for clothing. For example, coats, hats, gloves, shoes, socks, and other superficial layers are normally removed when entering a warm home, particularly if one is residing or sleeping there. Similarly, clothing has seasonal and regional aspects, so that thinner materials and fewer layers of clothing are generally worn in warmer seasons and regions than in colder ones.

Clothing protects people against many things that might injure the uncovered human body. Clothes act as protection from the elements, including rain, snow and wind and other weather conditions, as well as from the sun. Clothes also reduce the level of risk during activity, such as work or sport. Clothing at times is worn as protection from specific environmental hazards, such as insects, noxious chemicals, weapons, and contact with abrasive substances. Conversely, clothing may protect the environment from the clothing wearer, as with doctors wearing medical scrubs.

Humans have shown extreme inventiveness in devising clothing solutions to environmental hazards. Some examples include: space suits, air conditioned clothing, armor, diving suits, swimsuits, bee-keeper gear, motorcycle leathers, high-visibility clothing, and other pieces of protective clothing. Meanwhile, the distinction between clothing and protective equipment is not always clear-cut, since clothes designed to be fashionable often have protective value and clothes designed for function often consider fashion in their design.

Men Fashion

There are people who believe in the saying “Know the rules and break some. While such saying can be applied in some aspects of a mans life, you can never relate it to men’s fashion. Each and every types of clothing have specific rules. Once you break any of the basic rules, you may end up looking muddled or feeling uncomfortable with your outfit. However if you well understood and properly follow the rules, you will arguably look best in your outfit.

Hence, if you are going to attend events, especially if it is a formal one, make sure you follow the basic rules in fashion. Bear in mind, rules in casual clothing are more flexible while the rules for formal wear are the more formalistic. Before knowing the methods on how to accessorize formal attire like tuxedos or suits, first know the basic rules for men’s fashion in formal wear.

Rule: 1
White is the safest color for a formal shirt and is the finest choice for some occasions like black tie events or a job interview. On the other hand, white shirt can also be the most boring when worn for more relaxed settings. To avoid looking tedious, you may also try conservative, muted colored shirt or one with patterns. Never wear see-through or translucent shirts for formal occasions unless you want to be the laughing stock on the event.

Rule: 2
Choose a shirt that perfectly fits you. You have the freedom to wear any size of shirt, but ensure you are only wearing well-fitted shirts when going to a formal or even special occasion. If you prefer to wear a shirt that does not fit you, the sleeves will expose your wrists. Avoid wearing tight collared shirt, which will just make you look messy and may choke you once worn with a tie. So, make sure the collar and sleeves are just right and comfortable to wear.

Rule: 3
Fasten the shirt buttons. All buttons in your shirt should be fastened, including those in the side of the sleeve, near the shirt cuff. The buttons keep your forearm from being exposed on the hole where the sleeve is unbuttoned. Don’t forget to fasten the button-down collar to prevent the buttons below the collar from sticking out awkwardly.

Rule: 4
Make sure your pants fit you, too. If you bought pants that are too long for you, let them be hemmed. It is better to buy longer pants as they can be altered. Aside from the length, you should also check its waistline. If your pants are too large, they will look baggy.

Rule: 5
Choose accessories that complement each other. Never wear brown belt with black shoes or vice versa. The color of your accessories should always match each other. Also, avoid wearing sneakers with formal attire. Make sure your shoes provide elegance and go well with your formal wear.

Since you are going to wear your outfit for a formal affair, look for ultra-conservative socks. Formal socks should be thin, although ultra-thin nylon socks are not totally necessary. Make sure your socks are long enough to keep your calf and ankle from being exposed when you cross your legs.

Plus Size

In general, it’s hard to find plus size lingerie at your local shopping mall. Numerous women enjoy the experience of buying and wearing lingerie. Some women never find their size in lingerie. Ultimately, they get discouraged or frustrated and discard the concept entirely.

With our societies focus on weight and appearance, there is not a lot of focus on plus size clothing. Plus size clothing can be found in local stores and many department stores are now offering sections for plus size clothes. There is often a negative connotation associated with stores that carry plus size clothes and women often deny shopping at them.

When shopping for plus size lingerie, the main sources are online and through catalogs. While this is a convenient way to shop for lingerie items, it doesn’t give you a chance to try them on before purchasing them. Therefore, make sure before you buy that you’ll be able to return the lingerie if it doesn’t fit. Women of all sizes are discovering the comfort and convenience of shopping for their intimate apparel in privacy online.

Plus size lingerie is generally in as much demand as regular sizes. In actual fact, any woman who is over size 8 may be considered in the plus sizes. There are a large percentage of women out there that fall into this category, though plus size clothing tends to wrongly associated with obesity. Women who must search out larger sizes are very often not even offered the possibility of the popular, designer styles.

With a little research, anyone interested in shopping for plus size lingerie can find many websites that offer the right size. These items are made with the same beautiful fabrics and allow the woman wearing the item to feel beautiful as well.

There is no reason for stores not stocking plus size lingerie. In fact, their failure to do say may even be considered size discrimination. We all need to start asking these stores why they are refusing to stock the sizes we need. In fact, we need to start a revolution by raising awareness of the fact that larger women are being discriminated against. Every woman deserves to be as beautiful as she can be by wearing the same stylish clothing available in smaller sizes.

Jeans

With spring and summer seasons finally coming to an end, combined with the autumn and winter months now well and truly amongst us. Its important to re-think your wardrobe and prepare for the autumn/winter collections. T-shirts and shorts are no longer required and warm clothes such as knit jumpers, leather jackets and jeans now becoming the staple of our clothing choices. With the combination of new colours and styles.

The previous years of mens fashion, particularly during the winter months, were predominantly focussed on dark colours. With black or navy knitted jumpers or jackets at the forefront. But in 2012 there is a large change. With colours being used to emphasise individuality and also style. Not to mention the come back of the leather bomber jacket. This type of jacket has made an alarming comeback with large appeal throughout fashion shows. Being a large testament to time, with its iconic look the leather bomber jacket, and leather jackets in general, are a men’s staple autumn/fashion item. The bomber jacket has high versatility and their usual cropped length, combined with an increased selection of colours help sets itself apart from any other piece of clothing.

Assisting the leather bomber jacket this season is the increased focus on military apparel. From aviator sunglasses to trench coats combined with the key green and khaki colours. So expect to see a high number of military inspired designs this autumn and winter. This includes fashion items with embellishments and embroidered epaulettes, helping make each fashion piece stand out. But lets not forget the current demand, especially for those in the UK, for outerwear. From lightweight jackets to leather jackets and heavy wool trench coats.

Moving from the heavy leathers and military inspired designs, lets view the lighter but highly essential fashion items this season. Such as the other staple knitwear. Jumpers are simple and attractive and more importantly warm. Featuring simple but classic colours and a variety of ribbed and cable stitching. Also, consider adding cardigans to your wardrobe this winter, as these not only provide another thick layering during the colder months but also help compliment stripe and plaid shirts. Helping provide individuality and colour into an often dull and colourless outfit.

Finally, lets focus on blazers, which are often underrated and overlooked. For example tweed blazers are an ideal layer to help fight against the cold. Although many consider the blazer as formal wear, that can only be worn at special occasion. In fact its versatility during summer and winter months is again over looked. The elegance and warmth it provides is unmatched, with its casual appeal becoming more present. For example, layering a blazer with many of the current fashionable mens t-shirts, and jeans with brogues is a smart and casual appearance, but also with a hint of elegance.

Consider all of these top fashion tips this autumn and winter, and learn to escape the cold whilst remaining fashionable and keeping up with the current trends. The key is to remember to always try going out of your comfort zone. It is by doing this new styles and unexpected clothing will become visible and increase your outlook and options.

Designer baby clothes are fun and will create stylish charm to your kids wardrobe. The disadvantage of such designer clothes is that they are expensive and are affordable to the people who are film stars or kids of politicians or some millionaire. We can find a local designer whose design is attractive but at the same time affordable.

Men Fashion

Previous experience dictates that, although we have got the clothing nailed and some quality outfits at our disposal, there is still room for the whole thing to be let down by your choice in Men Fashion Shoes. And believe me; I have seen this happen a lot.

The key point I really want to make is that you need to take good care of your men fashion shoes in exactly the same way you do your clothes. That means investing in polish, deodorisers and shoes trees. Shoes trees are especially important because they help the leather the fashion shoes are made from retain their shape after a hard day of being sweated in, particularly in those Summer months. Make sure your shoes arent dirty, stained or marked and dont cling onto them once theyve passed their prime; learn to let go guys. That means those knackered Converse, K-Swiss or Vans that you always wear need to go regardless of how comfortable they are.

What you should be bearing in mind when you are buying men fashion shoes is similar to our approach to clothes and that is how versatile is it?. So when youre about to buy that pair of Nikes that are coloured like the Jamaican flag, think twice because its more than likely theyll either clash or draw attention away from your clothes and will only be in for one season max. Furthermore, keep your footwear tailored, so in this case less really is more and the simpler the shoes the easier it will be to match them with whatever is in your wardrobe.

But what kind of men fashion shoes should you be going after then? Well, there are a lot of options available to guys when it comes to casual men fashion shoe instead of Mens Business Shoes but I find that if your stick to the classics they will never go out of style and will serve you well for long periods of time. So Im talking about loafers, plimsolls, boat shoes, trainers and boots. And when I mention these styles, I mean man styles not the teenager/university styles!

So when it comes to trainers think adult and tailored Adidas Stan Smith/Samba, Converse Leather Jack Purcells, and anything by Lacoste or Fred Perry. K-Swiss, Nikes and Reeboks can get out!

For pumps its best to save these for the summer when you can slip them on and get them as sweaty and grubby as you like. So why spend loads of cash on buying them from Fred Perry or other labels when you can get them from Topman or Burton for about 12-16 Seriously, the simpler the better!

When it comes to Loafers, Boat Shoes and Boots, as long as they are made from good quality leather you wont go wrong. Buy your Loafers and Boots in Black, Brown, Oxblood and Tan and head for Navy, Brown or Red with the Boat shoes for some really great options.

Ways to Wear

Here I would normally give you some ways of wearing your men fashion shows but with the possibilities so endless it would get a little heady to say the least. Instead Ill just suggest some ways of wearing certain style: –

Men’s Leather Shoes – I love wearing mine with my suits when I am out of work. I lose the belt, the tie and the formal lace ups. Then I throw on my pair of white with a dash of green Stan Smiths, loosen my top button and head out to dinner. But as long as the leather shoes are simplistic they are an amazing way of dressing down an otherwise formal outfit so try them with your chinos, your striped shirts and your blazers and see how it looks.

Plimpsolls – As I said before, essential Summer men fashion shoes. A cool thing to do this season is to have them contrast the rest of your outfit. So if youre wearing predomintatly plain solid colours in your outfit why not try a pair or gingham check or plaid pumps to add a bit of detail to it. Or if the clothes youre wearing are all in neutral why not add a shot of colour with some red, purple or green pumps as well?

Boots – this is an easy one, wear them with everything except shorts! I love boots, you SHOULD love boots and FashionBeaners from across the world love them too. Check out the many other articles that have been dedicated to them for more advice.

Boat Shoes – Huge this Summer, Boat Shoes should be your go to with your shorts and tee every time. They also work great with chinos and turned up jeans. But they really help when it comes to those formal events in the Sun, like Weddings and the like. Go with a cotton suit and a plain polo shirt as the perfect complement to your boat shoes at times when youre trying to balance formality and practicality.

Loafers – Guys, really? Wear them everywhere, even in your sleep. But they look especially great with some dark denim jeans, a blue and white striped shirt and a navy blazer.

Conclusion
But the point Im really trying to get across is that if youve put all this effort into stepping up your game in the clothes department why neglect your feet? Too many guys are holding onto childhood dreams of shitty disintegrating men fashion shoes which either let down an excellent outfit or are so loud, busy or garish that they end up detracting or clashing with the look as a whole. Keep it simple and keep them tailored and you will not go wrong.

Jeans

Finding the right Apple Bottom Jeans that complements your body type is the first step towards bringing out your personality through this clothing line by rap star Nelly. Unlike other types of jeans in the market, Apple Bottoms has been specially tailored for women with mind-blowing curves.

Moreover, the denim utilized in tailoring the jeans is made up of Lycra (4%) and Cotton (96%). The blend is appropriate, thereby preventing you from feeling as if you are just about to keel over as a result of wearing tight-fitting jeans for prolonged periods of time. Then again, the amount of Lycra in the denim ensures that the jeans do not appear too stretchy, hence deterring every knot and lump to appear.

If you have never worn Apple Bottom Jeans, youll most definitely appreciate the manner in which it wraps round your curves. But perhaps the greatest benefit of buying Apple Jeans by Nelly and Ian Kelly is the comfort that you feel while in the jeans. Youll not feel as if the denim is wringing air from your body.

In contrast to other designer denim wears in the market, Apple Bottoms do not just fit until the hip region. Apple Bottom denim wear fits you from the waist down appropriately even though you may have a slim build. Therefore, if you have been finding it increasingly hard to find denim wear to fit your slim body, consider buying Apple Bottom clothing line.

Then again, just because Apple Bottom brand appears to have everything that you are looking for in denim wears is not an indication that you should shy away from purchasing other brands. Blending your wardrobe with different kinds of denim wears will help you in determining which brands best suits your lifestyle. Nonetheless, when shopping for other brands, it is highly recommended that you utilize the Apple Bottoms design as the yardstick for making your selection. If the style, coziness, freshness and airiness of the denim wear you are planning to purchase does not match that of Apple jeans, then consider a different brand.

In addition to comfort and style, the price is perhaps another reason why you need to consider purchasing Apple Bottom Jeans. The internet is the best place to look at when shopping for Apple Bottom brands. Note that other than denim wears an Apple Bottom clothing line consist of shirts and shoes. Consequently, Apple Bottom brand can dress you from top to bottom if you are looking for a specific design that completes you.
