Accessorising a '60s ladylike look

2010-11-08T19:47:00.000-08:00

Accessorising a '60s ladylike look
If you want to stick with the theme, here are a few traditional ways of accessorising a '60s look that can still work today:

Ladylike kitten heels.
Bold red lipstick for a bombshell look or soft pink for a vintage belle.
Cats-eye glasses.
'60s accessories: a wide, waist-cinching belt; a leather clutch in candy-store pastels; gloves; a classic headscarf.
Hair worn sultry and '60s sex kitten, or swept up into a beehive.

Sheath skirts and dresses

2010-11-07T17:34:00.000-08:00

There's no doubt that, as the trend stands to date, the full skirt is the silhouette du jour. But that doesn't mean there aren't other options for a sensual, early '60s look. A straight cut sheath or pencil skirt is the ultimate in creating a 1960s hourglass shape - not only cinching in the waist, but clinging to the hips as well. Think Man Men bombshell Joan Holloway (yes I know - another Mad Men allusion. The characters just fit so perfectly.)

Look for skirts that are straight, high waisted, below knee with a kick pleat or slit at the back.
You can also look for fitted sheath dresses. These are great sleeveless or with classic three-quarter sleeves.
The peg-top skirt is another alternative - full at the waist with small darts or pleats, and tapering narrowly to the hem.

The Granny Skirt

2010-11-06T22:58:00.000-07:00

Don't panic about the name of this one; this look actually was commonly known as the granny skirt back in the '60s.
Longer, usually gathered or pleated, often with a ruffled hem, the granny skirt is as it sounds: a young take on grandma dressing. It falls rather than puffs out too much and is more understated - think sixties office girl. If I'm to stick with the Mad Men analogy, this is the style you'd more likely spot on Peggy Olsen. The key to pulling off this look today is to either make it completely effortless, or surprisingly sexy.

Avoid looking dowdy by pairing with a fitted top; or sex it up with a sheer blouse.
For an authentic look pair with flats or dainty kitten heels. To modernise, stick with a pair of high heels.
Sweeten it up with a pair of little bobby socks under shoes a la Marc Jacobs

Shalwar Kameez

2010-11-06T22:56:00.000-07:00

So many of you must be conscious enough about their dressing? It’s good to take care of your dressing like you care for your makeup or and hair style etc.

Learning inns and outs in dressing can help you to look up to date. In order to look current, you need to experience new trends. The most important thing you need to consider in this scenario is that what really suits you? It means that you should experience latest fashion trends, in dresses as well but first of all you must adopt that according to your age and the season.

Now-a-days in Shalwar Kameez, long shirts are back with their full bloom. Shalwar and pajama like trousers with the long, (smart & below your knees) Kameez is again ‘inn’ these days.

In shalwar kameez, banarsi Anarkali jamawar especially in bright & hot colors goes best for tops. Hot and bright colors like Shocking pink, blue, see green suit best in this regard. For the bottom silk churidar pajama with no ornamentation or embroidery can suit the most. For this dress crinkle chiffon dupatta with the gotta at the border side lines look astonishing.

Other than banarsi top, Bronze chiffon Anarkali, or crinkle chiffon jamawar having work of Kundan, swarovski and beads suit best with the Bronze crepe silk pajama having sequins work with beads spread all over. Also Periwinkle crepe silk flared shalwar having small Periwinkle chiffon dupatta with the ornamental motifs spread all over. With these dresses Bronze chiffon dupatta or having thin embellished border along small ornamental motifs all over it make your perfect dress. It will look more attractive if you make in some dark color especially in black.

Interesting thing about Shalwar Kameez is that some renowned personalities like Sally Field, Goldie hawn, Hillary Clinton; Jennifer Lopez etc are admiring this dress shalwar Kameez, even in their high profile occasions.
Well we can say that after Asia, shalwar kameez is becoming the taste of west as well.

Dress Styles Full skirts: the '60s housewife

2010-11-06T00:05:00.000-07:00

Think Betty Draper: the overflow of '50s prom style dresses into '60s day wear. Full, below-the-knee circle skirts, cinched in waists, and prim, proper styling.

Look to Louis Vuitton and Prada who both put ladylike full skirts on their runways for the Fall 2010 season, particularly in heavier fabrics like wool blends.
For Spring 2011 look to bright, fresh colours and pastels, and prints like florals or stripes

60s dress / full skirt: women's trend

2010-11-05T20:58:00.000-07:00

60s dress trend: what is it?

When we talk about the '60s dress or skirt in this context, we're not talking about the later, mod '60s movement of miniskirts and teeny shift dresses. We're talking about early '60s ladylike dressing that flowed on from the late 1950s.

It's no great accident that the popularity of Mad Men has coincided with a resurgence in early '60s fashion. A sartorial inspiration to men and women alike, we've seen an avalanche of elements from the era spill over into fashion's impressionable mind; and the bulk of the torrent is yet to come.

So say bonjour to fuller figures and longer hemlines as the skirt and dress silhouettes of the late '50s / early '60s swing their way back onto the scene as a 2010 / 2011 fashion trend

Lace dress / lace skirt: women's trend

2010-11-04T20:20:00.000-07:00

A trend round-up to inspire you for late-Summer 2010, but also a trend that you'd be amiss not to carry in to Autumn / Fall 2010 / 2011: lace dresses and lace skirts.
Right now you're thinking that this is nothing new. And you're right; it's an extension of the sheer trend that's has, for some time, firmly cemented itself as its own, independent trend. So what follows is, instead, more about how to wear the trend now, and how to set yourself apart from the masses - so that you can bring it forwards and into a new league.

Types of lace

There are many different types of lace, and various methods for producing it - so many that we won't go into them here. The long and short of it is this: it's now less about the stretch, allover lace, and more about antique-style lace. Fabrics that look like a more traditional needle or bobbin lace (even if they're machine made). Generally, go for a wider net, a more unique pattern, a sturdier fabric - rather than a thin stretch lace.

Left: wear less. Right: wear more.

How to wear it

The ultimate balance of lace in 2010 / 2011 is to be romantic but not over-girly; sensual but not over-suggestive. Like taking beautifully crafted lace that would have once been part of a garment and making it the only layer. The lace isn't an added detail of a garment, it is the garment. And thus we come to lace skirts and lace dresses. Dare to wear them without a slip underneath. Just keep the cut a little more relaxed or the hem a little longer to maintain that aforementioned balance.

70s sophistication by day

70s sophistication by day

By day it's all about clean yet voluminous silhouettes, and earthy '70s colour palettes. Look for:

High waisted wide-leg pants or flares, smartly belted in.
Neat bow-blouses, especially ones with billowing or bishop sleeves. Particularly great are fabrics like silk and satin.
Roll neck sweaters tucked into pants or skirts. Add to the '70s effect by layering over beaded necklaces or a vest.
For those more daring, a pair of hot pants are the ultimate '70s item.
A smart printed jumpsuit is another great alternative.
