With summer upon us, it’s time to talk about summer fashions. While some have their typical summer wardrobe full of staple pieces, others are still figuring out their personal style. Creating a summer collection starts with thinking about what your individual style is, or what you want it to be. This particular season is perfect for experimenting and playing with colors, patterns, and silhouettes.

When you build the perfect summer wardrobe, you’ll never find yourself with an occasion and nothing to wear, from brunches to beach days.

We’re breaking down our five important tips for building this year’s summer wardrobe.

  1. Build Your Basics

Trends come and go, but quality basics are truly forever. With a key collection of t-shirts and tanks, you can transform nearly any outfit into a casual weekday or weekend look. Styling them with a silk skirt or under a colorful duster coat can help ground the outfit and turn it into your ideal daytime look.

When it comes to your basics, it’s all about quality. A well-made t-shirt not only lasts longer but will elevate your entire outfit. Throw it under a slip dress for a great daytime outfit, or tucked into a pair of high-waisted jeans for your next beach day.

  1. Find Your Favorite Denim

Shopping for denim can be challenging, especially if you’re unsure which fit and style suits you. While this may take some experimenting, once you find the right brand for your body, stick with it. A couple of pairs of quality denim will last you summer after summer — and if you’re feeling adventurous, you can experiment with different washes and even colored denim.

  1. Don’t Be Afraid of Color

Summer is the perfect season to add pops of color to your wardrobe. The best part? You have the freedom to decide how much color you’re comfortable with and where in your ensemble it fits, whether it’s a printer sundress, a tie-dye Azzyland face mask, or a boldly-colored purse.

  1. Accessorize, Accessorize

Accessories are one of the best ways to add personality to your summer wardrobe. And just like adding color, it’s up to you how you want to incorporate them into your outfits. If you’re not afraid of color and bold patterns, scarves or chunky jewelry are a great way to add your personality if you prefer to keep your clothing neutral.

If you prefer to keep your summer capsule on the minimalist side, simple gold jewelry is a popular choice. It’s up to you how much of a statement you want your clothes to make or your preferred level of subtlety.

  1. Focus on What’s on Your Feet

A great shoe can elevate even the simplest of outfits. If you’re feeling a more feminine style, a colorful strappy sandal can add personality to your ensemble. If you prefer to prioritize comfort, you could experiment with a platform sneaker for an edgy summer look. With so many summer shoes to choose from, there’s something for every style.

From the jungle to the mungle – these days, wildlings roam around in flocks, and the fashion world can’t help but follow. So, no matter if you want to fit in or stand out, a pair of sleek sexy animal print leggings are always a fine garment to have in your wardrobe.

Today, we are listing ten of our favorite animal prints – wild, untamed, trendy, and mind-blowing. Rawr!

#1 Octopus Leggings

Octopus prints are probably not the first thing that comes to mind when addressing animal prints, are they? And still, think about them. The utter enigma of the ocean floor abyss, the might of the Kraken, the power of a glorious outfit. A design brain-teasing and obscure – a bit off the beat, and a lot on point. Number one on our list. 

#2 Giraffe Leggings 

Now, let us head back to the jungle. You can easily rise above it all with a pair of giraffe-printed leggings. They carry the vibe of the Savannah and the heat of the burning sun above the Nile – because wilderness suits everyone, and you can choose to bring it everywhere you go.  

#3 Leopard Leggings

You saw that coming, didn’t you? Leopard prints seem to have found their place in way too many all-time-must-have lists, and we are not about to break the pattern here. You can have them in classic golden brown or alter reality with green, purple, yellow, or any other color of leopard pattern, as long as it suits your taste. 

#4 Snakeskin Leggings

Reptiles and serpents of all worlds – unite! Snakeskin prints got game, and so will you – during a festival event, a rave gathering, a gym workout session, or whatever else you are up to. These just seem to fit equally well wherever they appear. No need to shed your skin when you have the best one around town, right? 

#5 JellyFish Leggings

Back to the underwater world! Jellyfish prints are rather popular and extensively fancied for one reason or another. Airy and ethereal, they illuminate graceful harmony and obscure magnificence – something you might happen to need pretty badly some of these days. 

#6 Butterfly Leggings

Nymphs, cocoons, and butterflies – a garment that reminds you to let yourself grow is always a good garment. When choosing the butterfly leggings details, you can find multiple variations – from bright and lively to dark and goth. Because this is how butterflies are – able to harmonize with any concept you can imagine. 

#7 Cat Leggings

Soft kitties, warm kitties… Evil kitties, space kitties, Egyptian kitties, kitty kitties! The least you can do to confer your respect to the masters of the Universe is owning a pair of leggings with their royal presence on. The rest of your duties will soon follow. 

#8 Dog Leggings

From a servant to a master, and from a master to a friend – the kitty kitties vs. doggy doggies battle is ever-going. So, wearing an all-over printed pair of dog leggings is probably among the most distinct ways to show that you know how to pick sides. At least according to some. 

#9 Monster Leggings

Of course it is happening inside your head… But why on Earth should that mean that it is not real?” – Dumbledore once asked, and we’ve been asking that same question ever since. So, yes. The animals in your head shall find their way out straight on the pattern of your favorite leggings, and you shall wear them proudly. 

#10 Brain Leggings

Here is a gentle reminder – brains are not exclusively a human attribute. So, why not interpret your brain leggings as the masterminds of nature, and show off your love to Darwin right away? Brain leggings can get as smart as you’re capable of making them.

Want to See Some More?

Animal-patterned or not, printed leggings are a world of their own, and you can explore them endlessly. So, in case you are already intrigued enough, you can keep on digging deeper by scrolling through some marvelous and rather sexy print leggings at DevilWalking shop. 

Because the wilderness is something you bring along every step of your way. And it can also be something you wear along it!

Forget about New York Fashion Week or the big runway shows in Paris, London, and Milan. The major fashion trends happen as a part of everyday life. In other words, what’s happening in “street style” is far more influential than what’s happening on the catwalks.

Attaining an eye-catching personal street style can seem daunting, though. Is it possible for a non-celebrity to own a look so riveting that it turns strangers’ heads? Can an average human being suddenly become elevated to an influencer-level street style guru? Of course. And it’s being done all the time.

In fact, you could be just a season or two away from mastering street style apparel. You just need to take a few strategic steps to get you ready to strut your stuff. Try implementing a few of the following street style tips to give your inner fashionista a lift.

1. Invest in some quality basic items you can love for years.

One of the biggest misconceptions about street style is that it’s 100% eclectic. It’s not. Many street style staples fall into the category of classic items, like high-end leather boots or lightweight cashmere sweaters.

Investing in long-wearing, well-constructed items that will stick around for the long haul makes sense. Not only can you rely on them, but you can anchor more unusual garments with traditional clothing and footwear.

2. Hunt your local vintage clothing stores.

If you follow fashion at all, you’ve surely noticed that styles always circle back. How many times have skinny jeans made a resurgence? Or crop tops? But you don’t have to wait until styles return to add them to your street wear. Instead, visit antique malls and online vintage clothing shops.

When you hunt and peck through closet classics from decades’ past, you’ll find a range of interesting pieces to choose from. You’ll also do your part to keep fabulous clothing out of landfills. Upcycling could potentially become a part of your stellar street style.

3. Keep tabs on hot street style from other countries.

You might not live in Asia or eastern Europe. That doesn’t mean you can’t get ideas from the street style popular right not in those areas of the world. Every so often, take time to browse through street style outfits popping up globally.

When you find images you like—or that intrigue you—add them to an inspiro board. For instance, you could create a document that’s just inspirational street style photos. Or, you could start a “street collection” album on your smartphone. The point is to give you a direction for what you wear tomorrow.

4. Try something new once in a while.

A huge part of developing a signature street style is being willing to spice up your look now and then. That may mean buying and wearing clothes that you wouldn’t normally consider. Even if you’re not fully convinced they’ll work with your vibe, take the chance.

For example, you might be hesitant to wear a long, sweeper jacket that’s trimmed in at the waist but balloons outward along the upper sleeves. Yet you never know how it will feel to be in this type of garment until you try it on. So head to your nearest department store. You could be pleasantly surprised by what you see in the dressing room mirror.

5. Pair clothing pieces that don’t seem to match.

Street style has a rhythm all its own, which is what makes it magical and unpredictable. Basically, you can toss out the rulebook in any way you want. 

Every so often, raid your closet to see if you’ve missed out on some fantastically unusual pairings. If you’ve never tried to marry seemingly disparate apparel items before, you’re in for a treat. A good place to start is to pick your favorite shoe and find its most opposite clothing partner. Vans with a mini dress? Why in the world not?

6. Keep your hairstyle in mind for a complete street style appearance.

Street style isn’t just about the fabrics you wear. It’s also the way you style your hair—or the way you don’t style it at all. Case in point: An unkempt hairdo can switch up the visual appeal of any outfit in a flash.

Plan to play around with a range of hairstyles based on the overall mood of your street style choices. If you have long hair, try an updo versus leaving your tresses straight and blunt. You can evoke a lot of emotion by how you treat and arrange your hair. (Bonus points for adding color in intriguing ways or giving a wow-worthy wig a go.)

7. Add accessories for splashes of color, layers, and textures.

Not every street style look requires accessories such as hats, scarves, necklaces, and belts. But the more you investigate the most appealing street style looks, the more you’ll notice that many street style masters make use of accessorizing whenever possible.

The trick is to avoid going overboard unless your street style is gaudy-everything. Usually, just three accessories is enough to max-out your preferred fashion overtone. Sometimes, all you need is one accessory, though, to bring everything together.

8. Give designs and patterns a chance.

Maybe you’re all about neutrals. That’s your street style of the moment, and it works. However, you owe it to yourself to occasionally add a bold twist in the form of an interesting pattern to one of your pieces.

Geometric designs, stripes, florals, and odd combinations add lots of character to street style wear. No need to choose ones you hate, either. Street style is all about being true to you! Look for patterning that makes you feel motivated or inspired.

Say it out loud: “Street style is my style.” Keep that thought as your guiding mantra as you rev up your personalized look—and quite possibly encourage others to follow suit.

As the seasons and occasions changes, your dress up style is the first to manifest those transformations.

Corona Virus really got us all shocked. From staying home, avoiding contact, using only technology as a way of communication, brought us a lot of changes, different habits, different way of living. It was hard to accept them at the beginning, but we become used to it, taking care of our lives and of people around us.  And it affected different areas, even the industries. Fashion industry was one of them, but didn’t suffer any major damage.

Since the beginning of the pandemic fashion trends were put away. The quarantine months didn’t ask for any new clothes to wear, no special occasion, no parties. And dresses created by famous designers were still on their hangers. Even the formal clothes weren’t needed. And that really left a mark in the fashion.

People needed clothes even working from home. Some of us needed to buy clothes besides the pandemic. Luckily the shopping never stopped. And that made some changes in the fashion industry.

  • Protective wear

It is really risky not to follow the rules and become exposed to get infected or to transfer the virus, so we were told to wear protective wear, masks. The quarantine finished, but masks are still obligatory in frequent places. And that left some space, some new area for the designers to be creative.

  • Basics

The most worn clothes at all time are basics, their name explains everything. But this situation really increased the sales of basic clothes, and led to new trends. Even pajamas got their role as work outfit at home.

  • Comfy shoes

Crocs, sneakers and run shoes have their glory now, which made high heels, formal men shoes and other formal shoes leave the table. We totally forgot them. And we must admit, our feet are very happy, until the next parties.

  • Sportswear

Who says sportswear are not comfortable, never worn any. You can wear them anywhere now. If you work out, I guess you invested money ‘till now, and if you plan, you definitely will, since no one can predict when Mr. Covid will say ‘goodbye’ and leave. The new coming trends are all about comfy and sports clothes taking the lead. And continue to be worn on the streets.

  • No makeup

If you are a woman and had put a lot of makeup when everything before was normal, you probably saved some money not buying all those expensive lipsticks, eye shadows, or foundations. Imagine applying  a lipstick on your mouth and a protective mask right away. It is a waste of money. But don’t forget the cause of the mascara. You can still have glamorous looking eyes, be protected, and looking pretty at the same time.

Not everyone like these new trends appearing this year, but at least we are protected and healthy. So stay safe, wear a mask and follow the new coming trends.

Exquisite design, along with a passionate mindset, is what defines a clothing brand. With the right clothing vendors for boutiques, it is not a daunting task to start your own fashion business. Professionals are waiting to help you take care of the manufacturing part, while you focus on marketing and retailing.

In fact, the best women’s clothing distributors & wholesale clothing suppliers will go the extra mile to ensure expert craftsmanship, using only the best materials, says leading clothing factory, Private Label Apparel. They will help you start out with smaller orders and slowly ramp up as your business grows.

Source

If you are a budding entrepreneur, looking to create a mark in the clothing industry, follow these hacks to stay ahead.

  • Right Clothing Manufacturer

Clothing vendors for boutiques can literally make or break your business. Make sure to work only with established brands that have great connections with wash houses and jeans factories. They are most likely to offer quick turnaround times at reasonable rates. You will not have to face delivery delays, high costs and low quality materials. They will provide design assistance, trim development, dye services and sample pattern, easing your burden. 

  • Identify Your Target Audience

Before approaching clothing manufacturers, make it a key practice to understand the demands of your target customers. In case of denim, your main focus would be millennials and Gen Z. The young generation is inclined towards denim shirts, skirts, dungarees and palazzos. There is no “one size fit all,” when it comes to fashion trends. Therefore, keep researching about social and financial backgrounds and changing consumer behavior. Knowing your customer will help you design and produce accordingly. 

  • Product Experiments 

Private label clothing manufacturers are always ready to help you create unique and fresh looks. This helps in promoting your brand and attracting a wide consumer base. Make sure innovation and excellence go hand in hand to maximize sales. Carry out extensive research, both online and offline, to ensure that your ideas are new. This helps in creating a fresh brand image and earning 30%-50% profit margins as well.

  • Online Presence 

Get in touch with established men’s and women’s clothing distributors & wholesale clothing suppliers to help your clothing line go live. The next thing after this is to make your presence felt on social media. This is one of the most fruitful marketing techniques to increase your customer reach. Create a user friendly website and showcase all your products. You can link the site in your Instagram Stories to drive organic online traffic. Go ahead and create a Facebook or IG page and put detailed descriptions of your brand, pricing and contact information. Don’t forget to share the link on every post so that customers can simply click to visit your site. 

Apart from these smart tips, keep a few other things in mind. For example, pay attention to your pricing strategy, business partner and overall costs. Know your niche well and create an appropriate business logo. Lastly, learn from your mistakes everyday to reach new heights.

No matter how you feel about maternity clothes, your growing bump will eventually require them. The good news is that pregnancy styles have come a long way since the days of shapeless polka-dot dresses and giant bows. Today’s maternity wear can be just as chic and flattering as anyone else’s.

The most difficult styles for many women to put together seem to be their streetwear and everyday looks. Perhaps this is because they don’t feel their own styles can be found in maternity wear, but it doesn’t have to be that way. In fact, we have three ways to style your pregnancy wardrobe that are sure to make you feel fabulous instead of frumpy, no matter where your life takes you.

Source

Dress in layers

Pregnancy hormones can feel like enemies in our otherwise normal bodies. They can cause bloating, blemishes, and overall discomfort. Dressing in layers is a good way to keep your style evolving while still staying comfortable in any temperature or situation. Jackets, vests, scarves, jewelry, and wraps can all be great items to keep in your wardrobe for various occasions. A stylish button-down blouse, for example, can be worn over a simple T-shirt or dress to change the look, and it can be removed when you get too hot.

Buy a wardrobe that will grow with you

Buying clothing items that grow with you is the best way to save money and time shopping. Even if you don’t realize it now, you may not feel like trekking to the mall to try on clothes in a few months. Aside from that, most women would rather not load their closets with things they’ll only be able to wear for a few months.

Most pregnant women find particular styles of maternity dresses that work best for them and choose to wear them throughout their pregnancies. For example, a long black jersey-knit dress may be the go-to attire for a lot of women because it’s flowy, comfortable, and can grow with your bump. If you need versatility in your wardrobe, this is definitely the way to go. You can add a denim jacket and sandals for a casual look on a breezy day, or you can dress it up with more formal jewelry and low heels for dinner out with friends.

Aside from dresses, though, other items can grow with you. Many designers make maternity pants with adjustable waistbands or from stretchy fabric so that you can wear them all nine months. In fact, many tops and skirts have similar features.

Camouflage your problem areas

Aside from a growing belly, a pregnant woman’s body goes through many changes that she may never have thought of. Some women assume they’ll follow celebrity leads and continue to wear tiny bikinis and revealing evening wear. While that’s an admirable feat, your body may surprise you by expanding in ways you didn’t expect. For example, many women experience extreme swelling during pregnancy. When their ankles and feet are puffy, the last thing they want to do is slip on strappy heels. Breast size can also change drastically. And while some may welcome this change, it may completely alter the type of neckline you’d like to wear.

The important thing is to wear a wardrobe you feel good in, and for most women, that means finding the most flattering attire. So, to camouflage swelling legs and feet, you might opt for flowy gaucho pants that cover your feet and don’t hug your legs. For swollen breasts, you might wear a denim jacket and button-down shirt if it makes you more comfortable.

Whatever your maternity style is, it’s important that you are comfortable both inside and out. Gone are the days of choosing comfort over looking chic. Keep these tips in mind and you’ll have a wardrobe that is stylish, versatile, and most importantly, comfortable.

What makes varsity jackets a well-loved fashion piece?

When, where, and how the trend began?

Let’s take a quick trip down memory lane and discover the long history of this timeless wardrobe piece.

Source

Origins of the varsity jacket

Also known as letterman or letter jacket, the varsity jackets that we know now didn’t exist until the 1900s.

Before varsity jackets, were letterman sweaters which originated around 1865 and were worn by Harvard University’s baseball team. The original design looked entirely different from the modern style. They were not jackets but were a thick knit sweater that bear a bold letter ‘H’ on the left chest part. These letterman pullovers or cardigans were exclusively worn as a uniform by the baseball varsity of the Ivy League school.

Back in those days, wearing this apparel came with strict rules. Only the best athletes get to wear them. If you’ve shown good performance, you’ll be able to keep the jersey throughout the season. However, if you’ve been ‘benched’ for the season, be ready to return your uniform. This sense of elitism added to the competitive allure of the lettered cardigan. This tough requirement made letterman jersey equated to excellence and athleticism.

Soon after, Harvard’s football team followed suit and adapted lettered sweater. As years pass by, more athletic teams and schools started creating and wearing their unique version of the lettered uniform. Each team tweaked the sweater’s details to make them unique such as using a different letter, changing the font style and size, and moving around its placement. The style has likewise changed veering towards the side of the sweater.

Early years of the varsity jacket

By the early twentieth century, lettermen cardigans have become a staple in many high schools. Evidence of its popularity is a 1911 photograph showing a student from Phoenix Union High School sporting a lettered sweater.

With the growing popularity of the clothing style, athletes have been looking for something versatile and comfy. It was in the thirties when the varsity jackets were introduced. The new sportswear was made up of a wool body contrasted by leather sleeves and accented by a bold letter on the side. The prominent letter signified the respective school; hence, the varsity jacket became a symbol of authority.

To receive a letter, an athlete needs to showcase his prowess. It was a badge of honor that proves your athleticism. Wearing a varsity jacket with your school’s iconic symbol is a source of pride.

Modern-day varsity jackets

In the mid-1900s,, the popularity of the varsity jacket has spread across the world of athletics. Major athletic teams and famous sports celebrities have started wearing these versatile pieces. Commercial manufacturers of sporting apparels, initially with baseball and football teams, began mass producing this type of jacket with the team’s logo or icon. Sports fans wore the jackets at games – and even outside of it.

By 1980’s the material used also changed – from wool to satin. In the next decade, the varsity jacket has been adopted in many other major sporting teams. As famous teams started wearing this apparel, everybody wanted a piece of it.

Given its popularity, it’s not surprising how the letterman jackets have easily crossed-over from the world of sports to the world of fashion. Aside from sports celebrities, Hollywood celebs have also shown affection to the varsity jacket.

Today, modern varsity jackets come in all styles, designs, materials, and colors. Some manufacturers like Varsity Base even let you customize your own varsity jacket. Despite a tremendous transformation, lettered jackets remain very popular and trendy – and that’s not surprising considering the versatility and stylishness of this timeless wardrobe piece!
