The Fashion Breakdown .53

So welcome back all of you to the fashion breakdown. I apologize for the delay in updating this thing as work has been keeping me busy. I'm sure you know what that's like. After all you know it takes me a bit of time to do the research!

The Fashion Breakdown #53: This entry is about the looks for summer. I think its due-time for a men's and women's guide.

Women's guide:
Look 1_ Ladies, what better way to express this season's colors by wearing an interpretation of this look. Take a jersey dress which incorporates this season's hottest trend with a little bit of poof/oomph to the clothing piece. Any girl can pull this off and best part about it... it hides any curves you are working on getting rid of for the summer!
Look 2_ This is another hot trend for ANY occasion... of course many of your know alot of teens are wearing leggings with their outfits. Well no more, here is my rule on how long your leggings should sit on your legs: make sure they never pass the top of the calf but they should meet at the middle of the knee. And of course the little black dress doesnt hurt either!
Look 3_ And of course... the simple baby doll. This is an update on the baby doll. Notice how it doesnt use elastic scrunch bands around the bust. Its more of a roushing effect thereby making the bust appear larger and the cinching below the bust gives the appearance of a small waist line.

Men's guide:
Look 1_ This look is inspired for the traveler during the summer. A light-weight cotton button-down shirt tucked into "cropped" shorts matched with a striped belt. Embrace the pastels and light colors of the summer.
Look 2_ Whoever said blazers cannot go with shorts was terribly mistaken. You see here a double-brested yellow coat paired with a regular thin tee and destroyed denim shorts. Its good enough to catch those summer breezes while maintaining that o-so-summer look (Okay that was a bit cheesy, lol).
Look 3_ I havent forgotten about those who like to dress up. Here you'll see a short-sleeve cuffed shirt matched with a tailored-vest. Really this look is versatile to be paired up with denim, dress slacks, or dress shorts.

Remember that these looks are versatile. I've given you a template so go out there and adjust it to your own individual style.

Check back for the next fashion breakdown! Always dress to look your best (Even if it's a pair of sweats and a tee)!
