Top Summer Styles for 2010 Part I

Get Nautical

hf6265324-redzoom1

Nautical Style is a huge trend for the summer ‘10. Who would have that 19th century French fishermen nautical apparel became to be a fashion statement for the 21st century. One of my favorite items for this summer trend are striped Nautical Shirts, dresses, and wedges. They look great at fabulous beach parties and for everyday wear. Striped shirts can be found in every retail store this summer. One of my favorite nautical style top is Striped Shark Bite Dolman Tee from Express.com. This top is a great example of  a modern twist on nautical style.

Nautical striped shirts look great on everyone but you have to know what stripes will look great on you. For all my plus size fashionistas, opt for thin horizontal stripes. Horizontal stripes are not great for plus size women. Thick horizontal stripes can make a full figure woman look wide. If you have an hourglass or pear shape than I would suggest wearing thin horizontal stripes. Thick stripes will add width to your figure. These shirts would be great for those who lack curves. Petite women should opt for nautical inspired tank tees. Tank tops look wonderful on petite figures.

My Nautical Picks

Flower Power

159214_blm_w

Everywhere I turn I see someone in a floral. Floral is a great and easy way to add color to any wardrobe. Floral is huge right now because many designers are using classic 80’s fashion. This is why floral is huge item this season! Floral bottoms are the rage this year. Tiered Skirts, mini dresses and Rompers are key for a perfect summer collection.  I personally enjoy small floral prints on dresses and skirts.

Stay away from floral button up tops. These tops are not the business this year instead look for floral tunics. Tees with large graphic flowers are also great for 2010.  Tank top are not my favor for this print. Tropical inspired floral prints are big on swim wear for this season. Shoes are also donning floral prints. I’m in lust for the pleated t-strap floral print wedge from GoJane.com. They are great examples of floral print shoes gone oh so right!

We have fashions just for you. From everything from Get your style books ready… This is Fashion Trends Now Part II!

Cut Outs Anyone?

Cut Out Dresses are the “it” item. Everyone from Kim Kardashian to Hilary Swank are sporting this fashionable trend. Cutout dresses can be found in various styles from cocktail to evening wear. Though celebs are loving cut out dresses, I think that cutout tees will be the big hit for the season. So do not be surprise to see cut out tees on everyone this season.  Cut out swimwear will also make a huge splash this summer. I am loving cutout dresses with a mesh inlay.A great example of this is Arden B’s mesh cut out dress. This dress has a heavy influence from the 80’s with a 2010 feel. I would aim for a cocktail dress when opting for this cutting edge trend.

The Wonders of the Trench Coat

The Burberry creation has been a stable for women since the 40’s. A staple in every woman’s closet, it is no surprise that the classic trench coat is essential for now. We are all love the classic style trench. It is great for all sizes and look fun and many colors.  A great trench looks fabulous on any shape. A Trench coat can give a woman the perfect figure 8 figure. The classic has a new look. Let me introduce you to the Asymmetrical Front Zipper trench coat. The use asymmetrical design is appealing to the eye and adds a futuristic touch to the classic outerwear. So if you are looking for a coat with some edge than I suggest opting the AFZ Trench.

Side Note: Rachel Roy makes a fab asymmetrical rib belted trench coat. It is a must have on this list!

Clogs are Back?

Yes, those carved delights from Belgium are back. Clogs have been around for over 400 years making their fashion presence know during the 70’s and the 90’s. Clogs are back with some serious bite. The strappy clogs are a must for your feet in the spring/summer. Studded clogs are also a great. This shoes can make  your tootsies looking oh so vogue! Who would have thought that these shoes would make it to the forefront? Clog it away everyone!

How to Wear a Triangle Scarf

Wear your triangle scarf as a bandana, headband, peasant look scarf, neck scarf, hip wrap or as a shawl.

Known as a versatile fashion accessory, a scarf definitely is a fashion must-have. It is quite fascinating that a single scarf can actually transform a regular outfit into something classy, trendy and fashionable. Scarves come in different designs, textures, and colors. They also come in different forms – squares, rectangles, oblongs or triangles. Triangle scarves are common and they save you time from folding a square scarf diagonally to form a triangle scarf.

There are different ways to wear a triangle scarf, below are the following:

Bandana

Place the wide corner of the scarf at your forehead just a little above your eyebrow. Place the ends of the wide corner of the scarf at the back of your head or at your nape. You can either loose the top flap of the scarf or tuck it under the knot at the back of your head.

Headband

Fold your triangle scarf until it forms a strip. Adjust its thickness depending on what style you want to achieve. Place the center of the folded scarf at the top of your head, just like a headband, and pull the ends at your nape. Secure the band by tying the ends together.

Peasant look scarf

Place the widest part of the triangle scarf at the top of your head. Bring down the ends under your chin and tie them together. This style great when you’re traveling and don’t want to ruin your hair style.

Neck scarf

You’ll need a stiff triangle scarf for this one because silk scarves won’t hold much for this kind of style. With the triangle at your chest, drape the triangle scarf around your neck and tie the ends at the back of the neck.

Hip wrap

This is a great cover up for any bathing suit or for belly dancing. Wrap the widest part of your triangle scarf around your hip and tie the ends at one side. Twist the scarf to either side to your desired angle.

Shawl

You need a large triangle scarf for this. Drape the widest part of the scarf around your shoulders with the body of the scarf at your back. It should look like an inverted triangle at your back. You can tie the ends of the scarf at the front or let them fall on each of your arms.

Different Ways to Tie a Scarf

Wear your scarf with style by using it as a headband, bandana or head wrap, ponytail wrap, belt, bandeau, fancy halter top, one-shoulder top, skirt, shawl, and as an accessory to your bags or hats.

A scarf is a known accessory because of its versatility to fix and add style to any ordinary outfit to make it more fun, classy and elegant. It can be considered as a multipurpose cloth because it can be worn and tied in several ways.

Below are various ways of tying your scarf:

Headband

Replace the usual headband with a colorful scarf. Just fold the scarf lengthwise into a long strip of fabric. Wrap it on top of your head and tie the ends at the back of the nape.

Bandana or head wrap

You can always use your scarf to cover your head from sunlight or pollution whenever you’re traveling or staying outdoors for quite some time. Use your scarf as a bandana or head wrap. Just fold your scarf into a triangle. Wear it on your head and tie at the back of your nape. Or you just simply cover the whole scarf on your head. Cross its ends below your chin and secure them by tying the ends at the back of your head.

Ponytail wrap

Make it a fun and colorful hair accessory. Instead of the usual band, use it to secure your ponytail. If you want to add more style to it, knot it around your ponytail for a few times and spread it out.

Belt

It can also be a fun alternative to a belt. Its colors and soft material make pants or lower garments livelier. Just insert it through your belt loops or you simply wrap it around your waist, and your outfits complete.

Bandeau

Transform it into a bikini topper or bandeau. Just fold it twice until it looks like a long sash. Just wrap it around your torso into the front. Secure it by tying the ends into a big bow.

Fancy halter top

It can also make for a great halter-style top. Fold a big square scarf into a triangle. Tie a knot in the middle of the folded scarf. Place the knot at the base of your nape and circle the scarf’s end around your neck and secure it. This serves as the halter of the top. Finish it off by wrapping the triangle base just around your waist and tie it at your back.

One-shoulder top

This is great for poolside parties and the beach. You’ll just need a bigger one. Bring the ends of one corner of the scarf over one of your shoulders and tie it into a knot. Bring their other two ends together and secure them at either the back of your torso or at the side of your waist.

Skirt

Make a fascinating skirt out of it by tying two scarves at each side of your hip. Use this over a bathing suit or sleeveless top on the beach or at the pool.

Shawl

Embellish a simple gown or formal attire with it. Use a big scarf and fold it into a triangle. Drape the long part of the scarf over your shoulders. Take the ends to the center and you can either tie them into a knot or not. And there you have it, an instant shawl.

Accessory

As it makes most outfits shine by adding colors to the necklines, scarves can also be used as an accessory for bags and hats. Just tie them around your bags’ handles. You can also add some style to your hat by wrapping a scarf around it.

There are still plenty of ways on how to wear your scarves in your own style. Discover more ideas on how to use them by experimenting. Sooner or later, you’ll be walking with a new ‘scarf fashion’ of your own.
