27 Oct 2010 Fashion Tips – The Kids Style
 |  Category: Accessories, Apparel  |  Tags: , , ,  | Leave a Comment

There are a lot of things about style that kids can teach us. Getting dressed is something that we can learn from them. For instance a kid knows how you can dress for success. There are some clothes that help to create a powerful and authoritative look. Like a sport jacket or suit and tie make a great first impression. In certain situations, deviating away from the ordinary also works well as a fashion trend.

Kids like the sensation or the feel of the fabric. The soft feel of velour, chenille, cotton knits and fleece is really nice. Fabrics like tweed, denim or velvet have a touch appeal. On the flip side of dressing to impress, the kids tend to go with looks that stray from the norm. Wearing shorts, hoodies, polos, cowboy boots or mixing crazy patterns can actually help in creating a wild and different look.

Cool features in T-shirts, shirts and pants are more important to kids than a mere brand name. It is indeed more fashionable to dress up in an ensemble that is more your style and complements your figure than to go with a Gucci or Burberry outfit. Camouflage pants, vests, hats, twirly skirts and fancy shoes are stuff that kids fancy. Adults can also experiment around with different looks to come up with something chic and trendy.

A fresh look is inevitable for summer and most women love to wear clothes which keep them cool and comfortable. Flared skirts look great and fabrics like washed linen, rayon or cotton. Solids and prints are both in vogue but the fashion gurus say that a skirt should never be wider than it is long.

When it comes to patterns and prints, florals are an evergreen favorite. It is better to keep prints in proportion to your shape like larger frames look best in bigger blooms. Even for accessories, you can pick up a floral print handbag.

Tank tops are another eternal favorite though they might appear to be skimpy to some. One way to get rid of the skimpiness is to layer tank tops. Two complementary colored tanks can be combined for a great layered look. Lightweight cotton jersey is also perfect for layering.

Apart from these basic pieces of outerwear, a two piece swimsuit with an optional short skirt and shorts are a few other things that help to beat the summer heat. A walking short that is a couple of inches above the knee is just about perfect though the ideal length would depend on the wearer’s figure.
