Spring can be an awkward in-between phase for fashion because the weather is at that thin line between warm and cold, which means versatility is key for transitioning and staying comfortable while the weather makes up its mind. Since you’re probably sick of your sweaters by now, use this time to finally put them to rest and bust out your warm-weather favorites a little early this season. To find out how to wear summer staples both now and later, read on for some helpful tips.

1. Shorts

Most people think of shorts as a summer-only item, but they can actually be worn all year long with a little modification and creativity.

Wear it now: Pair your favorite pair of shorts with a shrunken sweater for a cute and cozy, form-fitting look. Keep your bottom-half covered with nubby tights to block out the wind chill, and finish off your look with a sophisticated pair of studded loafers or heeled booties.

Wear it later: A colorful linen blouse keeps you cool on a breezy summer day, while strappy heels allow your feet to breathe without coming with a high risk of falling off. An oversized hat and beach bag completes this look.

2. Windbreaker

Windy days can come up during any season, so knowing how to style your windbreaker from spring to summer might come in handy. [Read more…]

The Year Of The Mid-Calf Boot

March 20, 2013 By Harpermac

Give those tall boots a rest; mid calf boots are taking over this season. From the name you can tell that these types of boots run a little shorter than knee-high boots but are taller than ankle boots. Unlike the contour-hugging tall boots, these are also usually made wider at the top to provide the space needed in order to tuck in leggings, jeans, or tights.

Where to Wear Them
Mid-calf womens boots come in a number of colors, materials, and styles. These are your new basic all-purpose boots, perfect for occasions such as: [Read more…]

Men’s Fashion Tips For 2013

March 19, 2013 By Harpermac

While men’s fashion may not change as dramatically or as quickly as women’s fashion, there are definitely changing tides that need to be observed. In the course of updating your fashion, a popular approach worth considering is finding accessories and other smaller updates to equip a classic style with modern fashion trends. Men have more freedom than ever before when it comes to accessorizing, meaning there is plenty of creativity that can go into this process.

And with so many options available, men can pick and choose their additions to cater to their personal style and fashion preferences. In 2013, practicality will be embraced. Here’s a quick rundown of the top accessories for men this year.

Bags

Purses and handbags are no longer just for women. While designers aren’t comfortable enough to market these items as “man-purses,” that’s more or less what they are — designer bags that men can use to store various items. These bags more closely resemble a backpack and are typically slung over the shoulder, but they offer beautiful designs and colors that will look fashionable whether at work or play.

Shoes

The big trend in 2013 is that dress shoes are taking a backseat to alternative forms of footwear, in particular the boot. Matching boots with suits and other semi-formal attire — as well as casual clothing. Of course, that doesn’t mean dressy mens shoes are going extinct — you’ll still want to have some dress options available in your wardrobe. Your best bet is shoes in an Oxford style. Make sure they’re built for comfort and support, offering a reinforced heel and good arch support to keep your feet in good shape. [Read more…]
