Fashion Tips for Men and Women

“My clothes have a story. They have an identity. They have a character and a purpose. That is why they become classics. Because they keep on telling a story. They are still telling it” –Vivienne Westwood To most fashion-forward individuals, renting clothes is a rather unorthodox idea. Some might even dismiss it as downright ludicrous while the rest would even regard it as the height of blasphemy. After all, clothes are personal effects and they reflect our individual characters and personalities insomuch that renting them can feel like we are adapting to a new persona. Sure, we get it. Renting clothes does not hold much appeal and may not even be a popular option to most seeing as most individuals would rather buy the clothes they like outright rather than scour rental shops for it. This is especially true for individuals with peculiar taste in apparel such as those provided by a wholesaleBob Marley retailer and the like. However, despite your inner protests and qualms, ther...

"Style is a deeply personal expression of who you are, and every time you dress, you are asserting a part of yourself" -Nina Garcia More often than not, we often scoff at the idea of a long and lofty list of New Year resolutions that sound more ambitious than they are doable. In fact, maybe some of us have scrapped the tradition of making New Year's resolutions altogether for the simple fact that you have your doubts as to whether or not you can actually maintain them. However, while there is a slew of resolutions you are doomed to fail, there are some you can expect yourself to manage . One of them is to commit to a better style. Fashion resolutions are another thing altogether and by far, would be the easiest to commit to the entire year in terms of manageability. After all, fashion itself is an art and is seen as a means of self-expression. It is a pretty straightforward aspect in our lives, so why not set some style goals for the coming year ahead...

“Fashion is about dressing according to what is fashionable. Style is more about yourself.–Oscar de la Renta Fashion is inclusive. Regardless of what fashion articles posit or assert, fashion is for everyone and how much you weigh should not determine what you can wear and what you should not. Unfortunately, in a society that views lithe and slim bodies as superior to the rest of the other body types, women who do dare to break societal expectations of dressing according to your size are often regarded with disdain. Indeed, women who are not a size 2 or smaller are often stigmatized by the fashion industry who themselves have stimulated the belief that women should be constrained to a particular style if they are not a certain size. Sure, the fashion industry might be obsessed with super slim bodies and wholesale streetweardistributors might continue to pander apparel pieces to the slimmer fraction of the population, but that does not mean that you are in no way of loo...

“Create your own visual style…let it be unique for yourself and yet identifiable for others.”-Orson Welles At some point in our lives, we need to let some things go. This is especially true when these things are taking up too much space in our closets such as in the case of an individual who is a serial hoarder of clothes. Unfortunately, parting with some of your clothes may seem like a challenge considering that these are sartorial styles you have curated yourself. After all, you used to identify strongly with some of these and parting with them will come as no easy task. However, take a step back and assess the contents of your wardrobes then ask yourself: Do you really need to that feather boa? Or five wide brimmed hats? Regardless of what it is you have in excess of, know that you have to get rid of some of them if you wish to have a better style. Sure, some of these items might still be integral to your look, know that a pivotal aspect in upgrading your style is growt...

“When a woman says, ‘I have nothing to wear!’, what she really means is, ‘there is nothing here for who I am supposed to be today’.” –Caitline Moran Kate Spade has once been quoted to say that playing dress up is something that begins at the age of five and never truly ends. And indeed, it does not. Various women all over the world can attest to that, and it is one of the very reasons why the fashion industry remains relevant and afloat. After all, how else is a woman supposed to express herself better if not in the form of distinct and unique sartorial assemblage? In this regard, we can truly say that dress up is not only a trivial aspect of our daily routine. Rather, it is a ubiquitous practice that allows women all over the world the freedom of creative self-expression through their selection of clothes. Fashion is one of those aspects of a woman’s life that makes her life a little more exciting as it is never predictable and it constantly evolves. For this reason, so many...
