Designer Jeans – Let Your Designer Jeans Make a Fashion Statement



Ok so you have to choose between jeans and don’t know which ones are meant for you. You hate the dilemma and think all of them are meant for you! Just relax and don’t freak out …you need help so just read on.

Some tips will work as a blessing for you when it comes to choosing a perfect pair of jeans. Jeans are meant for all kinds of tall, short and average sizes. So you must know which one will work for you.

When you enter the jeans sections you will probably end up freaking out where to begin and which ones to try out. A few tips can help you shortlist the options and make your shopping experience much easier.

Tips for choosing the right pair of jeans

Before you choose to buy jeans you have to decide which pair of shoes will go with it. The heel of a shoe is the key factor in determining the kind of looks the jeans will give to your body once it flows down your legs.

- Keep in mind that you have to leave margins for the pair of jeans to shrink after their first wash. The size will alter a bit and so will the shape so keep that on the list of tips.

- If you have nice abs then a low-rise jeans will really do the trick of showing them and make heads turn.

- Boot cut designs are wider at the point of leg openings and a little loose in fitting through leg lines.

- Flare jeans have a wide opening at the lower leg and are fun to wear.

- Stonewashed jeans appear faded and funky

- Distressed jeans are designed with shredded fabric appearance, holes or even crinkle which give it an appearance as if it is worn out.

- Dark colored jeans suit night occasions perfectly.

- Take a look at what body shape you have and you will be able to choose the right pair of jeans to go with it.

- If you are a bit chubby then boot cut jeans can give you the slender proportionate look and make your legs look curvy. Darker colors will easily hide any bulges you have.

- If you have a slender body then flared jeans will look very nice on you. If you have flat abs then low rise jeans will also appear sexy and appealing.

- Athletic bodies go well with boot cut jeans to compliment the narrow hips. Low rise jeans are also suitable for such body shapes.

- True Religion as well as 7 is the latest and trendiest design for jeans lovers today.

Jeans are no longer just worn casually. Designer wear jeans are now worn on semi formal occasions just as frequently with formal tops and heels.

Bold and Bright Therapist Uniform Colours at Fashion Week



This year Paris was all about the wide leg trouser in lady-like shades of camel, fawn and slate grey. London re-ignited our current passion for all things utility – but at this year’s Milan Fashion Week there were one two surprises on the runway that saw designers, journalists and celebrities removing their shades and picking up their pencils.

Traditionally the autumn/winter season colour story is all about a darker base palette. Think black, grey and chocolate brown and you can be pretty confident that you’re on the money in the fashion stakes. Think again. This year at Milan we saw the most vivid colours ever witnessed on the runway at any time of year. Hot pink, vibrant teal and rich purple all put in a loud and proud appearance as models strutted their stuff for Prada, Dolce & Gabbana and Jil Sander to name just a few.

Now we’re not suggesting you rush out and buy a head to toe canary yellow two piece suit or a therapist uniform in fluorescent orange, but when a trend this big starts it’s impossible to ignore and we’d stake our reputation on the fact that brights are going to be one of this winter’s big hitters. And of course, as a beauty professional you need to consider what’s happening on the runway when you choose your new therapist uniform.

Bright colour is a surprisingly easy trend to wear and a lot less scary than it looks. There’s only really one golden rule to follow; when your colour palette is this bright keep the cut of your therapist uniform classic and simple. Think about the asymmetrical tunic – slimming at the waist with a strong, structured neckline. It creates a sleek silhouette that’s the perfect base for a bold shade. Wear it with slim fitting trousers or a smart skirt for a look that’s classic and bang on trend at the same time.

Wearing bright colours is about confidence. If you feel sure that the shade and style of your therapist tunic suits you perfectly you’ll be able to carry off the most vibrant shades. And don’t feel you have to follow any trend like a slave, (after all what looks wonderful on a model can be a very different thing when a mere mortal tries to carry it off!) So think about accent colours for your therapist uniform; a black beauty tunic with a hot pink trim is on-trend and very wearable. You could even try wearing a strong colour on top with black trousers or a skirt – although after the mouth watering shades we saw at Milan Fashion Week we don’t think we’ll ever wear black again.

Designer Backpacks – The Ultimate Fashion Accessory



For the fashionable among you designer backpacks are absolutely essential. They are both modern and trendy but also have an element of uniqueness that separates them from your typical handbag. They are perfect for a more relaxed occasion when you are not looking to dress up to much. Of course the designers name brand plays an important part but this really just goes to show the quality of the item you will be purchasing.

Designer backpacks can be found in all the top name’s collections from Louis Vuitton to Prada. They also come in a variety of different patterns and fabrics so you can have a bag for all occasions. Some of my favorite designs are silk and leather but you can get almost anything to suit your style.

For the most part the quality and status of owning such a nice item will also be reflected in the price. That’s not to say that the cost is too high or prohibitive, but they will almost always be higher than a standard backpack. But it is not just the name you are paying extra for here, the actual bag itself should be of far higher quality and a noticeably better made item as well.

One thing that you need to be careful of when purchasing a designer backpack is that it is authentic and not just one of the many fakes that can be found. On first glance they can often appear very real and you could be forgiven for not noticing the difference. But in almost all cases the problems are in the small details such as bad stitching and poor materials. They will probably not last very long and you will be left disappointed with your purchase.
