Make way for the return of the overalls. They’re part of the nineties fashion that are making a comeback to include the Dr. Martens boots, flannel shirts and floral babydoll blouses.

Today, designers have come up with their own version of the overalls. The forecast is that this is going to be part of the spring trends as brands such as Moschino, Isabel Marant and MM6 by Maison Martin Margielao already have this in their collections. Major jeans manufacturers such as Guess, Diesel, Joe’s Jeans, Free People and American Apparel have come up with their own as well.

The latest overalls are sexier (body hugging) and although the denim material is still very popular, variations are available including those made from leather. As to the right way to wear it, there are no rules. One can use a tube, a sleeveless shirt, a collared shirt or a spaghetti strapped top underneath. Whatever makes you comfortable is most important.

Surprisingly, many female celebrities don’t mind wearing this denim jumpsuit at all. In fact, many of them like it and some still wear it when they feel like it.

How about you? Are you up to the challenge of wearing the overalls again?

Bangles and bracelets are always in fashion. Whether it’s the chunky bangles you like or several pieces of bracelets, they improve one’s look and appeal.

The great thing about these bracelets is you can mix and match them regardless of the size, color and texture. If you’re not familiar with the ways on how to do that, we share some simple steps you can follow.

Bangles and bracelets are made from different materials. The wooden type is the most versatile as it can match everything even the chunky bracelets.

If you want to use the metallic colored ones, you can choose to wear a single piece particularly one that looks elegant. Feel free as well to use them together with the wooden ones.

There are also the metal bangles which you can use in a bunch particularly the small ones. The sound they make when you move your arm should be music to your ears.

For the jeweled bracelets and bangles, the best way to use them is by wearing only one piece and on one arm. This is most ideal for the more formal occasions although it can also be worn casually.

Flower prints go well with a white outfit and flats while animals prints can be paired with green and wooden bangles to achieve a jungle and sexy accent to your outfit.

Overall, the key is to mix and match. Plain colored ones can go with patterned and printed bangles while bangles with prints and patterns are best paired with plain colored outfits.
