S loves skinny jeans.  So much, she has a drawer full of them.  Em is the opposite.  She owns none.  No matter what your preference, skinny jeans have been the dominant trend for years, but these days new trends have been popping up in the denim department.  Check out some of these trends, and add your favorite to your wardrobe for a fresh look in 2016!

Cropped Flare

This trend was featured in this weeks OOTD. It has been dominating in late 2015, and continues into 2016.  Try this great trend with boots this winter, or with fantastic heels as the weather gets warmer.  Try these from Nordstrom.

Flares

Flare Jean Trend

Okay, maybe the cropped look isn’t your thing.  Go for actual flares.  That’s right, that 70’s vibe is back, so embrace it!

Soft Wide Leg

If flare’s aren’t your thing, try a soft lighter weight denim in a wide leg for a more updated look.

High Waisted

Haven’t embraced this look yet?  Do!  tuck in your shirt, or pair with a crop top, it can be incredibly more flattering than the ultra low cut that was so popular a few years ago.

 

Embrace the new year, and a new trend!

How to Wear Spring Fashion Trend Culotest

Culottes took the spring runways by storm and were a huge trend over the summer.  The trend continues into fall, but maybe you aren’t sure how to work them into your fall wardrobe.

  •  Retire the light fabrics and go for a more structured cut in a heavier fabric.  My favorite. My Favorites are these black faux leather culottes by Missguided
  • Wear Boots.  Whatever height you want–ankle, calf, or knee.  These will help keep your legs warm while still giving you the volume effect of the culottes.
  • Keep your upper body warm with some structure.  A blazer, sweater, leather jacket
  • Dress them up with a crisp button down shirt.  Consider wearing a vest over it for some added warmth and structure.

  • This Why I Wear Bad Pants from The Man Repeller.  Fashion is an expression of who you are, and it has the ability to change the way you feel about yourself–she gets that better than anyone!
  • DIY Turtleneck Choker, by Love Maegan.  These turtleneck chokers were all over the fall fashion runways, so try her easy, and inexpensive, way to make one for yourself.  I absolutely will!
  • Dear Fashion Editors, Stop Letting Me what I Can’t Wear in my 30’s. Sometimes you just want to wear what you like. I don’t care that I’m in my 30’s.  If I want to wear a leopard print mini with my black pumps…I’m going to do it!  Dress for yourself, not for your decade!
  • Not sure how to wear that Boiler Suit we mentioned last week?  Check out this video by Top Shop for some inspiration!

As many of you know, I’m an Architect. So I love a great power suit! I’m kicking it back casual here, but you get the idea!

I read an article once that said people were more likely to buy from you if you were wearing navy blue over black or brown.  So my power suit is naturally – Navy Blue

Go long on your pants and wear heels! Always wear closed toe shoes for business. And dress up your power suit with a funky blouse. I love orange, so I wear this top with the grommets quite frequently! I love the light weight shirt under the suit, because it can get hot. Thank goodness we aren’t men that need to button up their shirts and wear ties.

But even if you aren’t a professional woman, mens wear is hot right now! So go out and grab that power suit or two piece funky mens wear fashion! You’ll look stunning and put together! People will want to know you! It’s all about confidence, so wear it with swagger!

Cheers! xoxo Em
