Fall 2014 Trend: Robe Couture

When I think of a robe, I think of something that I put on after I get out of the shower or right before I go to bed. I have never considered a robe to be anything more than just a home staple item. However, many designers are transforming that staple item into a high end trend that will emerge in the 2014 fall season. Providing a long silhouette and a loungy look, these robe coats will be perfect to wrap ourselves in for the upcoming winter season. Expect to see intricate designs from Ter et Bantine, Creatures of the Wind, Damir Doma, Ashley Williams for Fashion East, Alberta Ferretti and many more. Here a few looks that are phresh from the runway.....

Why Jogger Pants?

Jogger pants are one of the most fashionable and trendy pieces of clothing that can be worn in any season. These pants have the ability to be dressed up and worn down while still maintaining its chic and sexiness. But why jogger pants? Well, here are a few reasons why you should go to www.fashionchix.com and order your 1st pair!

1. Comfort

Jogger pants are the most comfortable pair of pants I have ever worn. They are loose but not baggy, and fitted but not tight. They can be at any time of the day and for any event.

2. Better Than Skinny Jeans? Maybe!

I am an advocate of skinny jeans and love the way they make my body look. However, with jogger pants I am able to have to breathing and wiggle room. For those of you that want to transition away from skinny jeans, jogger pants are an excellent option

3. Flawlessly Stylish

Jogger pants come in different prints, patterns and embellishments. You don't have to settle for plain colored pants. Buy the ones that add personality to yourself and your look. 

Why do you wear jogger pants?

FALL 2014 TREND: SHAGGY BABY

Prepare your Fall wardrobe with fluffy, plumped up fashion pieces. Gucci, Marc Jacobs, Christian Siriano and Krizia are the few of many labels and designers that are incorporating fuzziness into their collections. Although we are totally against wearing anything that adds volume to a woman's body, this may be an exception. Pairing these furry textured pieces with a pencil skirt, mini skirt, slim fitted pants or leggings can make you appear slim. Check out some looks from the runway....

Tips For Women With Big Breast

1. Bra Size

 

Wearing the correct bra size is important for ANY woman. However, bustier women need a properly fitted bra. It not only holds your breast up in place, but it will also relieve a lot of back pain. Having a properly fitted bra prevents boob spillage and it makes your outfit look better.

2. Scoop Necks

Scoop necks are a better shape for bustier women because it doesn't put the focus on your breast. The plunge with a scoop neck creates a minimal effect, making your breast appear smaller.

3. Wrap Dresses

Although wrap dresses can be worn by any woman, regardless of her size, they are specifically designed for woman with larger breast. Because the middle plunge in the dress separates the breast, it leaves them looking smaller and enhances the overall look.

4. Thicker Straps

Thick straps are very important since they offer support and balance. Bustier breast tend to weigh the body down. Having thick straps in your bra, as well with your clothing, will provide the ultimate look. Thin, spaghetti straps don't do anything for your body and will create a negative balance. 

5. Avoid Turtle and Halter Necks At All Costs

With turtlenecks, they tend to cover the whole upper body and, as a result, all of the attention is focused on your breast. Halternecks are designed to make breast look bigger. Wearing a halterneck when you already have big breast will make you appear extremely top heavy.

6. Avoid Baggy Clothing

As we all know, baggy clothing does not enhance your figure. Too many times have we seen bigger women, in general, wearing baggy or oversized clothing. It does nothing for your body, AT ALL. It really makes it worst. Wear clothing that accentuates your body and creates a slimming affect. 

7. Dark Colors

Aside from making your skin appear lighter, dark colors always make the body appear smaller and slim. However, I am strongly against wearing all black since it can be plain and dull. Choosing a black top will be an excellent choice. Try pairing it with a colored bottom and accessories.

8. Scarves and Shawls

Scarves and shawls are great accessories to cover your breast. Some women are not comfortable with the size of their breast and will do anything to cover it up. Try throwing on a light scarf or shawl. It minimizes the appearance of your breast.

9. Fitted Clothing

Wear clothing that is fitted at all times. Nothing should be too loose or too baggy. Corsets are great for showing off your girls since they don't reveal too much. You don't want to create too much attention to your breast.

10. Stripes

Stripes are one of those patterns that can be both flattering and detrimental to the body. For women that are heavy anywhere on the body, stay away from horizontal stripes. They do harm to the body. Stray towards vertical or diagonal stripes. Because they point down or at an angle, vertical and diagonal stripes don't add focus to your bust.

Trend Report: Spring 2014

1. Wide Leg Pants

Wide Leg Pants are great for elongating your legs and making you appear taller. This style of pants is great for flattering your body shape. The good thing about these pants is that you can transform your look from day to night. Wide leg pants can be worn in a work environment, as well as on a night out on the town.

2. Cropped Jackets

During the spring season, we tend to experience the hot and cold weather of both the winter and summer season. Since the weather is neutral, cropped jackets are a perfect piece because they can be worn anytime, anywhere.

3. Button Downs

Although button downs can be worn in any season, they are especially important for the spring season. They can be paired with leggings, short or jeans.

Soft pastel colors are a hit for the 2014 Spring season. With the air fresh and the flowers blossoming, you can wear as many colors as you want. They will fit any style, fabric or accessory. Yellows, greens and lavenders will make you stand out of the crowd and blend in with nature.

Fashion Mistakes That Every Woman Should Avoid

1. Shoe Occasion

 

I hate it when I see women at the club wearing sandals or flats with a mini dress. Who does that? Your shoes need to match the occasion. If you are not comfortable wearing heels but want to go dancing with your friends, then try wedges or boots. If you work standing on your feet all day then you probably will be better off wearing flats, instead of heels. Keep in mind that you should wear your shoes in accordance to occasion and comfort.

2. Plain Jane

I will admit.....I am one of those people that gets very comfortable wearing one color and as a result, I end up wearing that same color ALL THE TIME. That is a huge mistake. Never wear the same color everyday. It is always good to switch it up. Men don't like their women predictable and women shouldn't like their clothes to be predictable. You want people to anticipate your style every time they see you.

3. Proper Fit

It is extremely important that you wear clothing that fits you properly. You do not want to leave the house wearing clothing that is too tight or loose. We do not want anything falling down or ripping. It is extremely important that you avoid wearing clothes that you can not fit. 

4. Accessories

 

Accessories are one of those things that can either make or break your look. Some outfits look great with accessories and some look better without. Although the end result is up to you, it is key to make sure you are not over accessorized or under accessorized. 

5. Mixing the Wrong Colors Together

Combining different colors and patterns is an excellent fashion statement but it can also lead to disaster. It is understandable that you want to have your own style but it is important to remember that your style needs to be cohesive. Your color choice should be appealing to the eye and attract one another, not distract.

6. See Through Annie

The most important mistake that women make is wearing the wrong undergarments with sheer clothing. I always see colored panties underneath leggings and that is a fashion no-no. Always wear black undergarments with leggings because leggings are sheer and you never know what someone, walking 10 feet behind you, can see.

Colors That Are Great For Women Of All Skin Tones

1. Fuchsia

Fuchsia is an excellent color that can be worn all year long. It is not too dark or too light and will accentuate the skin dramatically. This is a great color, specifically for Black, women because it will definitely make your skin glow and pop.

2. Teal

Teal is one of my all time favorite colors because you can wear it on clothing, accessories, makeup and even as a nail color. It is sexy and very vibrant. This color is very subtle and will stand out in any room. 

3. Emerald

 

Emerald is another sexy color that can be worn all year long and will make your skin tone stand out. This, too, is specifically good for Black women.

4. Navy

Navy is a great color because it never goes out of style and can be worn just about every day. The color is so chic and is a major color that we see in all department stores. Navy is deep enough to blend with any skin tone. 

5. Charcoal

Charcoal is a mixture of black and grey. It's good for all skin tones because it does not wash the skin out or make it appear ash and dry.
