Festival Fashion Tips

It’s festival time, and we thought you might enjoy some tips on how to look fantastic and be prepared for some festival fun.
Celebs like Katy Perry and Alexa Chung have already been working some key trends at festivals this year and there are loads of options, from playsuits to wellie boots.
We think your festival fashion kit for 2010 should include:
· Hunters Wellingtons (we love their short studded ‘festival 2010′ boots)
· Denim shorts
· Tie dye/fringed scarf
· Playsuit
· Tie dye/retro tee
· Panama hat
· Retro shades
· Mini-dress
· Waterproof poncho
· Over-the-knee socks
Don’t be tempted by flip-flops or anything that you aren’t prepared to sacrifice in the name of fun! Don’t forget to take something warm to wear later on; a comfy sweatshirt will be very welcome at 3am.
Once you’ve created your look, you need to preserve it, so take a handy bag with items such as a compact mirror, miniature deodorant, hand sanitiser, dry shampoo and the all-important wet wipes. These items will be worth their weight in gold.
Makeup wise, keep it low-maintenance after the first day and night. By all means arrive in full makeup but accept that the best way forward from day two is to make use of your wipes and stick with the basics. We would recommend taking: mascara, concealer, a small compact bronzer and some lip balm/gloss.
Your hat and sunglasses may well become your best friends at a festival. Not only do they keep the sun off, they are simplest way to deal with unruly hair and smudged eye makeup.
Finally, please don’t forget your sunscreen – harmful UV rays will age your skin even more quickly than all those late nights!

Fashion Clothing – Age is No Bar!
Fashion is a global occurrence that caters to all age groups. Fashion is no more synonymous to women. Over the years, men, women, children and the elderly have become really conscious of what to wear and what not. Fashion is an expression of personal style and glamour.
Men’s Clothing
There has been an impeccable transformation in the way men have started viewing fashion. There has been a complete change in the perception of men as over the years they have been extremely cautious of their appearance and how they present themselves among people. The everyday clothing for men essentially includes a nice comfortable pair of jeans teamed up with trendy T-shirts that make them look extremely relaxed and chilled out. This type of attire looks really cool on young boys who are mostly seen in such apparel. Pastel colored shirts also look really elegant and graceful that can be easily worn on formal as well as semi formal occasions. For their business conferences and other related formal occasions, business suits can be worn that make them look extremely classy and sophisticated. In order to suit several other formal occasions like weddings and dinner parties, tuxedos are perfect that make a man stand out from the crowd.
Teenage Clothing
Teenagers are passionate followers of fashion and the ever changing trends. Jeans is the most favorite piece of attire for all the young. The youth enjoys dressing in bright and vibrant colors that bring out the fun loving aspect of their lives. Young girls have an array of choice from dresses to short skirts that make them look extremely chic and elegant. The young prefers to wear all sorts of colors to bring out cheerfulness and funkiness out of them.
Kid’s Clothing
Kids are no less when it comes to fashion and trends. The latest fad among kids is to wear T-shirts that bear the print of their super heroes or sports persons that instantly attracts a child and lures into buying. Kids are also extremely fond of teaming their attire with several accessories that really compliments their apparel. These accessories may include sport caps, fashionable belts, wrist bands, sun glasses and trendy shoes.
Women’s Clothing
When it comes to fashion and women’s apparel, there is an array of choice that women can choose from. Body type and shape is of utmost significance in order to dress appropriately. Women who are heavy and rounded need to wear dark colors in order to hide their flaws. There is a wide variety of clothing to choose from like skirts of short, medium and full length, flowing dresses, tunics, layered dresses, fitted jeans, floral prints and A-line dresses.
Elderly Clothing
The old people look for something comfortable yet sophisticated at the same time. Such people should not wear flashy and floral prints as these may make them look extremely hideous. They should prefer a much natural look in order to make them look really elegant and graceful. Zippered jackets, trench coats and jeans can give a fresh look. Old people need something sober yet extremely classy that may establish them as an ardent fashion lover. The most suitable colors would be khaki, black, gray and white. There are several patterns that look really good like the all time favorite checks and stripes.
2010 Summer Plus Size Fashion Trends
Summer is just around the corner and that means summer plus size fashion trends are here and items are sprouting up in a boutique or department store near you. Colors are bright, patterns are bold and some of the classics are back and trendier than ever. Regardless of personal taste, the collection this season is sure to have something for absolutely everyone. The hot color scheme for this year is white or bright colors paired with earth tone or gray neutrals. Black and white returns as a hot color combination. Bright shades of blue, especially turquoise, will be everywhere this year. Be prepared to choose from the full spectrum of pinks and bright yellow in big, geometric prints. The turquoise trend carries over to jewelry.
As always denim remains popular but be prepared to see it used in new ways. The classic denim jean has shifted away from wide legs and toward boot cut and flares. Designers have taken denim to completely new places with everything from shorts to corsets going denim for the summer. The Greek goddess look continues to be in demand with the over the shoulder design and fabulous fabrics dramatically draped. Perfecting the art of draping your curves is now mandatory. You can instantly flatter your figure with a properly draped garment. Asymmetric hems are now showing up on tops and tunics.
Tribal influences and animal prints with futuristic style offer bold options for the warm weather fashionista. This style is now edgier than ever with layers and slash sleeves for emphasis. The latest jungle influenced prints are accented with bright blues and corals. Metallic accents and plating are used to embellish tunics and belts are thin. Shopping for summer fashion has never been more fun. With the wide variety of styles and colors to choose from there is something to please any fashion palate.
Summer Fashion Trends For 2010
Whether you’re spending time relaxing on a beach, touring a European city or reading outside in your own back yard, you’ll want to be feeling fashionable. Check out these tips for creating the most beautiful and trendy summer wardrobe.
- This year invest in a classic Parisian striped top. It will go with everything in your wardrobe, from high waisted shorts to 50s style tapered trousers. Pop it on when you want to look elegant and expensive, and add a straw hat for a Venetian twist.
- Hair styles for summer 2010 are inspired by braids. Whether you do a large messy fishtail side braid in the style of Alexander Wang’s New York show or create a vintage braided updo in the style of Rochas girls, keep experimenting with different plaits for different occasions.
- The crew neck is the neckline of the season, and thank goodness, because this means that gorgeous tanned legs can be shown off to their full advantage whilst you remain elegant and classy. Keep your t-shirts long sleeved as well as high necked, and for extra fashion points invest this season in a high-waisted skirt to mix and match with your multicoloured shirts.
- Learn the art of draping and wrapping, if you want to look super chic this summer. Donna Karan’s runway was filled with artistic fabric movements and styles, which you can replicate at home by being a bit more experimental and maybe even creating your own chiffon wrapped bodycon dress. Keep the colours neutral for the most subtle effect.
- Blonde hair is the ultimate summery compliment to fresh glowing skin. Take a visit to your hairdresser to get some subtle highlights added that will catch the sun’s rays on a hot day by the beach. And keep drinking lots of water so that your skin looks hydrated and fresh.
- Classic shapes mixed with modern prints make for a very pretty but edgy look. Combine lace and sharp tailoring for a similar effect or bright contemporary colours with feminine cuts, and look to Erdem’s SS10 show for inspiration.
- Lace is definitely big for this season, as the ‘underwear as outerwear’ trend continues in high streets as well as on the catwalk. Lace edging on a vest top is a simple way to add it to your wardrobe, or look for a pretty 60s style cream lace dress with a silk slip underneath.
- Neutrals are set to be a big trend for the autumn/winter season, so if you want to start building a wearable wardrobe for the whole year, look to colours like camel, cream, beige, ivory, taupe, peach, nude and antique rose.
Top Fashion Insight Regarding 2010
A new decade has dawned, bringing with it exciting new trends that inspire our imagination. In this same situation ten years ago, who could have predicted what would be in style today?
New styles come on the scene every few years. For this reason, concentrating mainly on the latest developments in fashion is the most practical approach.
2010 has some hot new looks, so let’s take a peek. I’d like to restrict our research to women’s shoes. I’m crazy about shoes and just love writing about them. I just love wearing them as well!
I have a big shoe collection that never stops growing. I’d like to tell you about the ones heading my list of favorites at the moment.
Christian Louboutin’s designs are all ultra chic these days. Take a look at the reptile leathers. With tons of personality and a big wow factor, you’re guaranteed an unforgettable entrance in those.
I’m also excited about the Roberto Cavalli ankle lace. It’s a fun boot in sleek black leather that boasts a fairly high heel and laces around the ankle. It’s a go-anywhere style that can be teamed up with all kinds of outfits.
A surprising new trend lately is the thigh-high boot with high heels. Although not the easiest style to wear, they compensate for this with the stunning look they create.
On a final note, the Hunter rain boot is making a welcome return to the stores. Hunter Wellies will offer a practical and trendy alternative to your usual sneakers when the weather turns wet.
Not only do these boots keep you in fashion, they’re also very easy on your feet, which puts them at the top of my list for rainy days.
