Hip hop fashion or styles of hip hop clothing demand a good know how about the trend. The styles of apparel call for including the distinctive African American fashion sense that originally sprung from the back lanes of Los Angeles, New York, San Francisco Bay Area and even Miami. Styles of hip-hop clothing have come up on the contributions made by the various integrated elements. This in turn led to the emergence of an overall style that is flaunted worldwide today.

In the last two years urban fashion has been incorporated to complement not only the attitudes and expressions of the culture in general, but also its significant history and appeal to ethnicities across the globe. You can now invest in styles of hip-hop clothing like Sean Diddy Combs designs and Shiny Suit Man apparel online as well as offline. However, prior to investing in the apparel it is very important to understand and respect its origins and the notions behind the style adopted.

The loud and very flashy aviator suits in PVC and the jewelry or bling as it is popularly called has today established a new form to the styles of hip hop clothing. With hip-hop you get to flaunt a vivid dimension as far as the choice of fabric or the color are concerned. You could draw your inspiration from the hip hop videos or the various marketing tools used by generators of the different clothing lines.

There are clothing manufacturers across the globe who are reputed for following up on the latest trends and taking them to the public across the continents who are inspired by hip hop. The designs and apparel and accessory line ups flaunted by the likes of Karl Kani enable you to design your own hip hop fashion range. You could also take a look at the timeless FUBU styles that have not only brought hip-hop fashion to the commonplace household, but have also made the bling and apparel a part of the multi-million dollar fashion industry.

Styles of hip hop clothing include footwear, headgear and even hair styles. There is the current resurgence of cornrows and other traditional African American hairdos that are making the rounds not only in the real world but also on mannequins! These styles, including the Caesar low-cut, with the du-rag to help prevent hair from being tossed around give you a good dose of the popular hip-hop fashion dos and don’ts. It is interesting to note the split between the genders as far as hip hop fashion is concerned.

While women once popularized tough-guy fashions with heavy boots; today they are flaunting lip gloss and apparel that has a lot of oomph like the ones worn by female performers like Kimora Lee Simmons and Lauryn Hill. The distinctly hip hop feel can be got via successful designers, who also allow you to view the fashion online to come up with your own sense of style. The significant percentages of people who wear hip hop inspired fashions find sneakers and apparel easy to come by.

This season, step out in style with the hottest shoe trends! From gladiator style sandals, platforms and wedges to cut-out booties and shoes with fringe, you won’t have trouble stacking your closet high with these fashionable foot trends. This season it is all about the detail. The heels are bit higher, the platforms are bit thicker and the accents and details are a bit bolder! Hide your plain Mary Jane’s and bring out your boldest, highest pump to set off your new spring style.

One of this season’s statement shoe styles is the platform/wedge shoe. After a couple of years out of the spotlight, these styles are taking center stage. Many of the hottest spring shoes combine both wedge heels and platform soles. Wedges are fun and when warm weather hits, they become irresistible. You can match up wedges with a summer dress or even jeans and a tank. These shoes are also much more comfortable than a typical heel or stiletto! Comfortable and stylish, who could ask for more? Even women who don’t normally wear heels can opt for a bit more height with a wedge or platform heel.

Boots seem to disappear in the summer, but in 2009, they might actually be a great summer trend! Designers such as Jessica Simpson and Steve Madden are turning the hottest booties into sassy sandals by cutting away parts of them. Whether they’re open-toes, cut-away sides, or cut-out heels, these booties will take you from winter to spring in no time. Dress these booties up with skirts, sailor shorts or skinny jeans to bring out the perfect spring look. You can find these booties in many different styles from a little fringe to gold accents and rhinestones. The fall’s fringe trend is lingering over into spring. Not only on booties, but fringe accent is being seen on your latest spring sandals, flats and heels.

Another hot trend this season has come from last spring’s Greco-Roman gladiator sandals. Heavily strapped heels or flats are still readily available and the boldest of this season’s color will make them extra dynamic. Gladiator heels with platform soles are also in! Mixing the two spring trends equals a great trendy sandal. These styles, both flats and heels, can be paired with a flowing maxi dress, a cute jumper/romper or a simple outfit like spring shorts and an oversized tee. Don’t forget however, it’s all about the straps! Gladiator sandals are still big and bold with buckles galore and are considered the ultimate statement sandal of this season.

With may styles to chose from, you can never step out without style! There are so many trends to easily embrace this season, whether it’s fringed strappy sandals or some towering platform or wedge heels. Invest in pair or two as they become a recent wardrobe necessity which will take you through many seasons.

Top 10 Celebrity Styles For 2008-2009

Tagged Under : , ,

Every year we look to celebrities for fashion inspiration and new styles. Looking back over this year we can say that 2008 did not disappoint. Although some celebrities veered a little too far left of what is fashionably acceptable many others hit the bulls-eye. Even if you didn’t commit to any of the following trends, you can’t deny that they made statements in 2008. We have broken them down in order from 1 – 10 and let you know who owned that specific celebrity style.

Fashion Trend # 1: The Two-finger ring. This is one of the coolest jewelry trends we’ve seen in awhile. It has been spotted on famous celebrities such as Rihanna and Lauren Conrad from ”The Hills”.

Fashion Trend # 2: Baggy ”Boy” Jeans. This was a hit-and-miss look. It really depended on the body type of the person sporting the look. We think the new Baggy Boy Jeans should have a distressed and loose look, but should also be cut to show off a woman’s curves. This celebrity style was rocked by Reese Witherspoon and Katie Holmes.

Fashion Trend # 3: Nail Designs. Many celebrities decided to wear crazy colors on their nails this year. Those celebrities include Beyonce, Eve and Rihanna.

Fashion Trend # 4: Sky-Scraper High Heels. Every year high-heels get higher and more dangerous looking. If you don’t believe us just take a look at Victoria Beckham and Madonna.

Fashion Trend # 5: Pointless Accessories. Anything and everything was up for grabs to be an accessory in 2008. Just take a look at Miley Cyrus, Rihanna and Beyonce.

Fashion Trend # 6: Obama T-Shirts. For the first time we can remember political T’s were available and worn by the general public. Check them out on Halle Berry, Beyonce and P Diddy Combs.

Fashion Trend # 7: Nerdy Glasses. Geek-chic is a sure thing, when worn right. But be careful because dark, thick plastic frames aren’t a look everyone can pull off. If you want to see them worn right check out the celebrity style of Kanye West, Jay-Z and Common.

Fashion Trend # 8: Bangs. This look also doesn’t work for everyone, but when it does, watch out! Check out the bangs on Jessica Alba and Christina Aguilera…HOT!

Fashion Trend # 9: Leather Jackets. This look was taken straight from the 80’s, but worked great in 2008. Some celebrities rocking leather jackets were Vanessa Hudgens and Rihanna.

Fashion Trend # 10: Hippie Headband. Very few people can actually pull this look off. Personally, I’m not of fan of it on anybody. Some ladies sporting the hippie headband this year were Nicole Richie and Mischa Barton.

As you can tell there were many new celebrity styles this year, along with some re-tread styles. Every year we are amazed at what people bring back out of the closet and add to their wardrobe. No matter how much we may fight it, the looks always seem as glamorous and hot as they did before. We can’t wait to see what celebrity styles these people pull out next year. I guess we’ll just have to wait and see!

Hair Styles For Women in Their Forties and Over 40

During the growth of hair it is at its peak condition from the age of twelve years to fourteen years. This stands to reason because this is when the body is at its peak condition releasing hormones, strong cell regeneration and settling into a growth pattern as we become an adult. Everything is working fine at this point in time and the body is in overdrive.

After the age of fourteen, cell regeneration slows gradually as we get older. This has a profound affect on hair as the cell regeneration in the cortex of the hair that depicts pigment, starts to slow down. The slowing of pigment regeneration leads to the hair strand to turn white. Thus, greying of the hair follows.

So for a woman in her forties, choosing a hair style is sometimes based upon necessity rather than choice. Factors are time, maintenance, individual taste and cost to keep the hairstyle looking its best.

When we are younger, long hair holds natural color, shine and health but as we age all this starts to go down hill fast. This is where the hairdresser comes in, to keep our hair looking at its best.

Long hair is very expensive to color, especially the long grey hair as the dyes in the colors are hard to take up into grey hair strands. This means harsher chemical treatment of the hair resulting in poor lifeless and dull hair strands.

On the other hand, shorter hairstyles are easier to color and cheaper to maintain.

Harsh chemical treatments of your hair can be counter-acted by nourishing the hair with serum and deep conditioning treatments. As the hair is short, these treatments can be applied several times from the one container whereas longer hair will require more then one bottle of serum or treatment.

It is for this reason that hairstyles for women in their forties and over 40’s choose a shorter hair cut.

When you consider shorter hairstyles you are considering the cost to maintain healthy hair as well as the time taken for maintenance of the hair Often career women will have shorter hair mainly because it takes less time to set and maintain.

So for the woman in her 40’s considering a new hairstyle the tried and proven short hair style is often the first choice. Short hair on an older woman is accepted in society and there is no greater fashion statement then hair that is colored and healthy.

Radiant shiny hair sets the fashion trend amongst career women and the woman who just wants to look great.

Women’s Fashion Trends – 2 Crisp Spring Styles and How to Wear Them

Filed Under (Fashion Trend Articles) by benz on 20-03-2010

Tagged Under : , , , ,

Women’s fashion trends for spring bring you lots of looks to choose from. If you like a clean, crisp look, here are some great ideas for you.

1. Stripes are big: Strips are everywhere this spring, from casual to dressy tops, to skirts and pants.

How to wear them: With both vertical and horizontal strips to choose from, go for the stripes that suit your body type. Remember that vertical stripes draw the eye up and down, while horizontal stripes draw the eye sideways. So if you want to appear taller and slimmer, go for the vertical stripes. Needless to say, if you don’t want to appear wider, stay away from the horizontals.

Layer a striped jacket or sweater over a simple top and skirt. Or, if you don’t want to overdo the stripes, wear thin stripes in a blouse or top, and pop a jacket on top. This is a great business look!

Match your other wardrobe elements to the color of the stripes, for a chic look. Stick to simple, classic pieces, and snappy dress shoes, to complete your office look.

2. Safari is hot: Safari styles are comfy and chic for work or for play. Basic khaki can be practical and smart for the office. For a new look, buy a khaki coat, and add a belt. Snazz up a safari dress with an ethnic belt, some metallic shoes or a simple tote bag. Slip a few bangles or cuffs on your wrist for the look of the moment.

Tip: Don’t go overboard with any accessory, such as too many bangles, at the office. Keep it simple for work, and save the added bangles for the weekend.

Full Brazilian

Full Brazilian Wax is referred to in several different ways: Hollywood Bikini Style, Bare Pubic Style and Sphynyx Style. The Full Brazilian is a preferred pubic style.

Contrary to popular belief, Brazilian waxing does not necessarily involve complete hair removal. Some people choose to leave a landing strip.

Brazilian Wax

Brazilian wax is also called Playboy Style. It involves removing hair from the anus, buttocks and vulva. A very narrow strip is left on the vagina. This is the most attractive bikini style according to guys because it looks sexy, like a race car stripe.

Other Styles

Intracut designs are becoming more popular. Some professionals are able to wax pubic hair, leaving just enough to form an image of a butterfly, diamond, heart, lighting bolt, star or arrows.

Dying pubic hair is another trend. Popular colors include red, green, blue and yellow. There is special dye for pubic hair, as it is unsafe to use regular hair dye.

What To Expect

The best way to remove unwanted pubic hair is waxing, as the results last up to 3 to 4 weeks. It’s normal to experience pain during and a few hours after the waxing procedure. You may want to take a painkiller one hour prior to your appointment.
