Tis’ this season to wear festive attire and dress up for Santa. One of the most notable holiday-inspired article of clothing is an ugly Christmas sweater. You can wear these sweaters to many different events, from ugly Christmas sweater parties to family get-togethers. Plus, making your own is a lot of fun and can be done inexpensively. Why wait?

Here are some fashion trends for the perfect Ugly Christmas Sweater this year:

1. Gaudy Garland Sweater: You might be hanging up garlands this year, so why not dress up as one? These sweaters are already pre-made, but you can get creative and make one yourself. You can get a plain green garland sweater. Add fun things like ornaments, ribbons, glitter, candy canes, lights, and wrapping paper. If you have a solid colored sweater, like white, you can add fun colors like red, pink, gold, and silver to make your outfit pop.

2. Two parts of a whole: Make the costume contest an idea for bonding with your partner. For instance, have your partner dress up as the head of the reindeer and you be the bottom.This cute idea is great for family photos and a laugh. If you want to stand out at the Christmas party, do something different. You can be Santa’s sleigh, and your partner can be Rudolph the Red Nose Reindeer. The more creative you are, the better!

3. Make this a family affair: When you’re making your ugly sweaters, let your children pick what they want to do. Start with the basic stuff. A little window looking inside a house with ornaments on it is easy approach, for instance. This will give your kids an interactive task that will make them more focused on the holiday.

4. Professional: Are you going out to Christmas party at work? If so, you can still pull off the ugly Christmas sweater by making it with business-like apparel. Add a bow tie, some suspenders, and a collar to your sweater. You can keep it “business casual” and still be festive for the holidays.

5. Furry Fun: Don’t forget your pet! You can make matching outfits for them as well. Make your sweater a Christmas tree and have your pet dressed up as an ornament. This way when you’re walking around with them, everyone can see that you guys go together. Don’t add lights or candy canes that might be harmful to your pet. Try to make their outfit simple and with things that they cannot ingest.

What are some ways you plan to wear your sweaters this Christmas? Let us know in the comments below!

We’ve officially made it to the Holiday season! And, of course, with the Holiday season comes colder weather, hotter drinks, lots of tinsel, and a different level of fashion. Besides the copious number of scarves that seem to never go out of style, fashion trends come and go during this time of year. With office work parties, family get-togethers, and seasonally themed events with friends dominating your social life, it’s easy to get overwhelmed with what to wear as the holidays approach. 2019 fashion tips look to lean heavily on the traditional pantsuit and even more rambunctious dresses. So, if you’re scrambling for new ideas to fit into your wardrobe, now’s the time to make a statement.

2019 holiday fashion trends land between conservative and liberal. Spice up your seasonal wardrobe with these stylish ideas.

From Pinterest to Instagram, to even Vogue, everyone has their own take on the new holiday fashion trends this year. It cycles through bold and wacky to more reserved and traditional, but the sweet spot is being able to fluctuate between the two. This season is all about embracing the two contrasting versions of yourself. Don’t allow yourself to get trapped into one box regarding your wardrobe, because there’s so much to choose from. If you’re scrambling on where to start for holiday fashion, fortunately, Cupid has some fashion advice on some of the hottest trends that will be dominating the clothing racks this season:

1. Pantsuits: One of the options that have seemed to be more conservative in the past has flourished recently. With more and more people embracing the duality of pantsuits, it’s no wonder they’re on the top of the list for 2019 Holiday fashion trends. If you’re wanting to show off your zany and eccentric side, especially at an office party, find a unique colored suit, or even one with a print, to stand out wherever you go. With the tailored fit and business casual style, there’s nothing that can bring this wardrobe-must down.

2. Bucket hats: Believe it or not, bucket hats are still trending into the winter season this year. But it isn’t for street-wear. Dress up the bucket hat by getting festive colors and wearing them with a little black dress, head-to-toe lace, or even a trench coat. It’ll make the casual head-wear into something a little chicer.

3. Bold, flat colors: If there’s one thing that stands out this year in fashion, it’s the minimalistic designs of bold colors that are taking over. Best worn as a dress, this trend involves wearing only one color. Styling a strictly red or yellow dress won’t just make you stand out at a holiday party, but it will attract everybody’s attention in the room.

4. Jumpsuits: There’s nothing more comfortable or exciting than wearing a jumpsuit. You zip up one article of clothing and you’re on your way! Watch out for holiday-colored and printed suits as you get ready for winter fashion. They’re a rare piece to rock, but if you take the risk, you’ll be the most fashionable and conveniently comfortable person wherever you go. Besides, they’re excellent at keeping you warm!

The holiday season typically brings with it a mix of all kinds of weather than can be hard to predict. Even in the South, the weather is much colder than it usually is the rest of the year, with rain and wind thrown in there as well. You must always be prepared for what winter has to offer, and what better way to be prepared than to know how to incorporate everyone’s favorite fashion staple: the trench coat? A wardrobe essential that never goes out of style, there’s an array of fashion tips all throughout history and pop culture for how to rock this famous coat style.

With the holidays approaching, what are some fashion tips on how to style a trench coat that’ll have everyone at your holiday get-togethers envious?

If there’s one thing that the trench coat is, it’s culturally iconic. With both women and men flaunting their style with this fashion statement since the 1930s, it is a timeless way to look and feel glamorous. Everyone from Blake Lively to Meghan Markle has shown how simple, yet chic, the coat can be. A clothing choice that will never go out of style, it’s an easy way to elevate an outfit. If you’re thinking about joining the trench coat club during the holidays, Cupid has some fashion advice on some of the best times to wear the staple this season:

1. To work: Some of the most memorable pop culture references of the trench coat are in 1970s films. If you’re tired of wearing the same drab, black slacks with a white button-down to work, this coat can easily switch up that wardrobe. You’ll look like a killer businesswoman showing up to the office just by trading in your slacks for a wide-legged trouser, a blush-colored blouse, and a black or camel-toned trench.

2. On the weekend: In the midst of the holiday season, there are several instances where holiday parties are going to be on your radar. If you’re unsure of what to wear to the event, a good choice to dress up a simple black dress is to pop a trench coat over it before you head out the door. Make sure the coat has a vibrant color so that it stands out among your peers as you walk into that party; all eyes will be on you.

3. To brunch: Not every outing with a trench coat has to be one that involves being the center of attention. A trench coat can be casual, too. Next time you’re hitting up brunch with your gals on a Sunday, try pairing a light-colored trench with a sweater and a pair of jeans. This can be a simple, yet effective way of making your outfit look more fashionable than it is.

4. When it’s raining: Besides being a fashion statement, the trench coat is actually a very versatile option to the rain jacket when it comes to the changing weather. When it’s raining, it can be a life-saver as you head out into the storm. If you don’t want to look like a drowned rat on days it drizzles, try pairing a simple outfit like a nice blouse or over-sized sweater with some leather leggings and a black or beige trench coat. Wearing some riding boots can really draw the look together.

5. To family dinners: Coming home for the holidays is one of the best parts of the season. Thanksgiving and Christmas are times to catch up with everyone, and it’s also the perfect time to pull out a trench coat. This coat doesn’t always have to be the focal point of the outfit. It can be an outer layer that you can easily take off without ruining your outfit. For instance, find a burnt ember or olive green trench that can look classic while also being subtly festive.

How do you like to incorporate a trench coat into your holiday wardrobe? Let us know down below!

When it comes to fashion, there are just certain things you need to have in your wardrobe. Whether it’s a great set of hoop earrings or a fashionable coat for the colder months, these five fashion staples are things that no woman should go without.

Keep reading for fashion tips about these fashionable items and why they’re the perfect addition to your wardrobe.

1. Hoop/Statement Earrings

Hoop earrings and statement earrings both make a bold statement and go well with just about any outfit. If you don’t have a nice set of hoop earrings, you’ll want to get hold of one for the sake of your wardrobe. Earrings are a must-have accessory, and hoop or statement earrings can be used for casual or professional occasions.

Hoop earrings have been around as a fashion accessory for thousands of years (dating back to ancient Egypt) and it’s no surprise that they’ve remained in fashion in American for the last few decades. With a resurgence during the disco era in the 60s/70s, hoop earrings have never really gone out of style. They’re simple yet bold; blending perfectly with warm and cool colors alike.

Statement earrings come in plenty of varieties to meet the individual tastes of ladies all over the world. From flowing tassels to boldly-colored gems and patterns, statement earrings are a must-have alongside your hoop earrings. Each serves a different purpose in terms of the outfit, but both make an equally bold statement.

2. A Good Blazer

Having a blazer in your wardrobe is an absolute necessity; especially if you’re in a professional field and need something that’s not quite casual but not quite a full-blown suit either. Blazers are usually plainly-colored, giving them the ability to match with just about any pair of pants or jeans. You can wear a blazer with a button-up shirt to a work meeting, or over your favorite t-shirt for a night out.

You can even match your pants with your blazer to give your outfit a more suit-like feel. If you need something a bit bolder, you can find leather blazers as well. Blazers excel in simplicity but give your outfit such a unique accent as to warrant the perfect level of cohesion with whatever you’re wearing. It’s an absolute must for any closet or wardrobe.

3. Black Pants

Perhaps one of the most important items that you’ll want to have in your closet is a pair of black pants. We’re not talking black jeans, either (although you’ll probably want a pair of those too). A pair of black dress pants can be combined with just about any color, accessory, or shoe; making it a staple for any wardrobe.

Black is a neutral color, making it incredibly easy to match with bold or subtle colors and patterns. Gold accessories look especially nice with gold, but silver also shines against a black outfit. A pair of black dress pants can be work to work or to an upscale restaurant, giving this fashion staple the versatility you need in your closet.

4. A Good Pair of Jeans

Of course, no wardrobe is complete without an excellent pair of jeans. They need to be comfortable, form-fitting (unless you enjoy the more loose style of jeans) and preferably dark-washed. A dark wash is better at accenting curves and giving your figure a more refined appearance. This option works for both average and plus-size ladies equally.

Jeans are pretty much the most common type of bottoms, so having a good comfortable pair is nothing less than a necessity. You’ll find that jeans come in all shapes, sizes, and specifications, so you may need to shop around to find that absolutely perfect fit. Sometimes, sizes vary among brands, so be sure to try out jeans first if you can!

5. A Fashionable Coat

A good trenchcoat or long winter coat is the perfect addition to a wardrobe for those colder months. The form-fitting long coats will allow you to retain warmth while still being as fashionable as possible, and there are some pretty amazing long coats available for women in retail stores and online.

You can opt for a patterned coat with stripes, or a single-color option to go with just about any outfit. Wool coats are incredibly warm, but a parka can also provide maximum warmth and a great fit. Figure out which option fits your personal style, and finish ironing out your wardrobe with the perfect coat for all occasions.

The Take-Away

These five staples are must-haves for any wardrobe; covering tops, bottoms, and accessories for a well-rounded closet that you can use to create the perfect outfit. Be sure to include a good coat in your wardrobe, as well as fashionable earrings and the perfect pair of jeans.

Step aside, size zeroes; this guide is specifically for those beautiful plus size ladies out there looking to expand their wardrobes. These five fashion staples are must-haves for plus size ladies everywhere and will help you feel comfortable and beautiful in your own skin. Not to mention, we’ve included a few fashion tips for every occasion, so whether you’re headed to the club for an after-work celebration or attending the biggest meeting of your career, you’ll look great and feel just as good. 

Fashion Tips: Feel beautiful in your skin with these five fashion staples for plus size women!

Plus size ladies should have at least five essentials in their wardrobe to keep things versatile and fashionable at the same time. Whatever size or shape you are, something like a pencil skirt, tailored dress or good accessories (see here for some unique pieces) can make you feel as good as you look, and that’s something that simply doesn’t have a price on it:

1. Dark or medium-wash jeans: Dark or medium-wash jeans tend to accent the best parts of your curvature and should be a staple in every plus size wardrobe. Darker jeans are slimming, creating a more form-fitting look so you can show off the beauty of your size and shape with a fashionable and versatile bottom that you can pretty much wear with anything. 

Denim is always a staple in any closet, but good denim is a must for plus size ladies. We’ve all had the misfortune of purchasing department store jeans that just don’t fit right. Instead of venturing into the unknown at a department or clothing store, buy exactly what you need online. Designer plus size women’s clothing is available online from dozens of retailers, offering a more customized and fashionable range of options than your department stores will carry. 

2. Pencil skirts: What’s the best way to show off those curvaceous hips? With a pencil skirt, of course. These sleek, stylish additions to your wardrobe hug your body in all the right places, and darker colors can be slimming to your figure. Pencil skirts are the perfect addition to a plus-size lady’s wardrobe, providing a formal bottom for any occasion. 

Don’t be afraid to accent your wider hips or thighs, ladies! A pencil skirt will curve around your body in all the right ways, helping you to feel more confident about yourself and turning heads all around you. Pencil skirts are probably the simplest solution we can offer to help accentuate your best curves and iron out your wardrobe options. Best of all, you can even wear them to work (most of the time). 

3. A simple two-piece suit: If you work in an office or other professional environments, sometimes you need to dress up. Whether you’re meeting a new client, or just running the day’s budget meeting, you want to dress for success; and nothing says success better than a two-piece suit. You can also choose to match separates to give the illusion of a tailored suit. 

Mix and match different formal pieces, or simply purchase a pre-made two-piece suit so you have what you need for the formal occasions in your life. The best way to wear a suit is to have it tailored first; no matter what size you are. A tailored suit will fit your body better, feel more comfortable, and look ten times better than an un-tailored one. 

4. A tailored dress: Speaking of tailored, dresses also look best on plus-size ladies when they’re tailored to your specific measurements. Often, you’ll find dresses at the mall or department stores that are simply labeled “XL” or “XXL”. This leaves little room for interpretation, and the dress will often be too large and not form-fitting at all. You want your dress to conform to your body and show off your lovely curves, not fall around you like a blanket. 

Getting your dress tailored ensures it will fit correctly and that you’ll feel comfortable wearing it. After all, no one likes to feel like their clothes don’t fit right, and plus size ladies especially always seem to get the short end of the stick when it comes to fashion. This is when it’s a good idea to visit an online retailer that specializes in plus size clothing. Department stores simply won’t have the range of options that an online retailer has available. Not to mention, online plus size clothing brands cater to specific shapes and body sizes rather than taking the “one size fits all” approach many department stores follow. 

5. Patterned tops: Patterns like plaid or polka dots can bring just the right amount of attention to your upper body and provide a definitive separation of your top and bottom. Choose designs that are simple and not overly-colorful, such as a white blouse with black polka dots. This look can be combined with either a good pair of denim jeans (or a denim skirt) or even a pencil dress to help really accentuate your curvature.

As Fall approaches, we still want to look fashionable and be up-to-date with the fashion trends as the weather changes. We might have to bundle up slightly, but not completely. Becoming popular in the 1950s, tea dresses have been playfully hitting above the knees for over half a century. However, this dress can now be worn in a mini, mid, or maxi style. We have fashion advice so you can wear the famous tea party dress for any occasion:

Though tea dresses is a fashion trend seen mostly in the summer, find out some ways you can still wear the cute dress and conquer autumn attire?

The pretty feeling you get when you wear a dress does not have to stop at the end of summer season. There are some ways you can still make a fashion statement with Fall flavor! Here are some of Cupid’s fashion tips so you can continue wearing tea dresses into the autumn:

1. Wear stockings/tights with it: If you like the short flowy style dress, you can wear cute tights under your dress. This is also a good idea for a professional setting. You will look formal and will be wearing an outfit that you love! Some of these dresses are fit for the occasion and come with collars and buttons. If you are trying to look presentable in the work place, keep the color of your tights less flashy, and avoid fishnet stockings.

In the social media age where Instagram reigns supreme for photo sharing, it can seem like any time is a great occasion for a quick photo-op. With autumn approaching, it’s only natural for us to know what colors and fashion trends are in so we can look our best on the Gram and in the chilly weather. Every year, the trends of colors and styles change as it gets colder, and as 2018 was the year of more rustic colors, like Red Pear and Russet Orange, 2019 has gotten a little bolder and more fun with its palette. Our fashion tips for what to wear this Fall are something you might want to consider trying out to if you want a vibrant and unique look that’ll dazzle your friends.

The fashion trends and colors of Fall 2019 are vibrant and full of life. Check out some of our favorites for this Autumn!

Every year, New York Fashion Week kicks off the newest fall colors and styles that are going to be the hottest trends as the season comes into full swing. Many looks catch the eye of designers as they implement them into their own designs for Autumn. 2019 is all about the fun, flare, and daring. Are you looking for some of the best colors to mix and match as the cooler weather approaches? Don’t worry, Cupid has got you covered for all the fashion advice on what colors to mix and match this fall:

1. Two tone color-blocking: Color-blocking has always been a sure-fire way of grabbing people’s attention. It’s fun and creative, allowing you to be as unique in your style as you want. This season, though, it seems like color-blocking has been elevated. Instead of merely mixing and matching colors, the trend is to get two completely contrasting hues of color on at least one piece of clothing before you go out. If you’re tired of the common prints of floral or plaid, spice up your outfit with some two-toned garments! An easy way to feel fresh this Fall, grab some bi-colored boots, pants, and two-toned button-ups. You’ll be the talk of the town.

2. Dark cheddar: Being a bold and daring color trend this season, Dark Cheddar is a sharp blend of yellow and orange. This color is easily found in Hermes bags and even in the paper used for purchases from highbrow boutiques. This shade is meant to feel nurturing and warm, but it does have that spicy kick that could have you looking and feeling fresh this Fall. If you’re looking for something a bit on the wicked side, this color is definitely one to consider!

3. Shades of purple: Purple has always been a controversial color among fashion for how poignant and polarizing it can be, but its comeback for 2019’s fall collection is one that should be celebrated. From pastels, to lilacs, to vibrant hues of royal purple and violet, purple is all the rage for a statement piece this Autumn. Worn best on dresses, coats, sweaters, and even hats. Bring a pop of color to your wardrobe if you want a fun and eye-catching look.

4. Electrifying pink: Now, this is a color trend on the wilder side. We’re not talking about baby pinks or pastel pinks. We’re talking about the brightest and hottest shades of pink for this fall. If you are desperate for a unique spin on your Autumn wardrobe, bring this shocking hue into your closet. Easy to mix and match, take your normal fall colors of browns, blacks, and greys, and throw something on with that hue of electrifying pink. This is perfect for those dreary, blustery days this season where you need a color to really wake you up. Try it on a coat first and see how you feel.

The breast lymphatic system “is a network of tissues and organs that help rid the body of toxins, waste and other unwanted materials,” according to LiveScience.com. Simply stated, breasts are essential to a properly working immune system. That said, many women have a hard time and are uncomfortable with their breasts when it comes to sleep. They can get in the way at night, causing discomfort and inhibiting the proper lymphatic cleansing process. However, we stumbled upon a bra that just might resolve this issue.

If you’re searching for comfort and the latest health trend while you sleep, get the best of both worlds with Bravity. Learn more about the bra’s perks in this product review.

Anyone with breasts can attest to the challenges they present when it comes to sleeping. Whether they’re falling to the side or preventing you from lying on your chest, breasts can be a nocturnal hazard. That’s where Bravity bras come in. Specially crafted with a Y-strap feature so the breasts are exposed, yet still cradled, these bras support the chest during sleep without the discomfort an underwire bra would cause. Here are some benefits:

1. Anti-wrinkle: Aside from the health boost of a properly cleansed lymphatic system, you’ll begin to look younger, too. At any age and with any size breast, one might encounter cleavage wrinkles. They are completely natural and nothing to worry about, but if you’re searching to keep your supple bosom, look no further. Bravity bras lift and separate the breasts to stop wrinkles from forming.

2. Comfort: The Bravity bra is crafted with padded adjustable straps so that it feels like tiny pillows cradling your cleavage. While made up of nylon and spandex so that the bra is cool to touch and form fitting, the no cup designs leaves breasts room to breathe.

3. Big breasted babes: Those with larger chests are typically more likely to seek a night-time bra. While Bravity benefits those of every size, big breasts are not left behind like they are in other major brands. We had an ample-chested woman test the product, and she claimed, “Nothing gets mashed up against my chin; it did work”. Avoid the dreaded uni-boob with the y-strap technology made for any size.

4. Sports edition: Bravisport does exist! This is a medium support, racer-back bra made to eliminate the uni-boob. The bra provides extra support by combining the average sports bra with the y-strap design, thus creating two layers of defense. The removable cup pads also allow for customizable shape and comfort.

Move aside, bright sunshine and flower prints (especially yellow as a backdrop for the florals!). It’s time to go over to the dark side of moody floral prints in this fall fashion trend. Think dark black background print with darker light pink and powder blue flowers. Or, try navy blue with big black petals. Our fashion tips for this moody floral trend might make you consider trying it if you’re usually a black tee and jeans kind of gal.

Check out the moody floral print fashion trend and put away those bright florals!

Even if you aren’t a floral print lover, it’s still fun to have a print piece in your wardrobe that you might not try under normal circumstances. And if you aren’t a floral print fan, what in the world would you even wear with it? Don’t worry, we’ve got you. Here’s our fashion advice on how to wear moody floral prints:

1. Jeans, jeans, jeans: Moody floral prints look great with jeans. Pick out a dark print with pastel blue roses and pair it with a jean jacket and your favorite pair of jeans (bootcut is life). Dipping your toes into the world of moody florals with jeans is a great way to try the trend without going too extreme if you have never worn floral print in your life.

2. A midi skirt with moody flowers: Try pairing a moody floral print midi skirt with a pastel sweater as the weather cools down. You can choose pretty much anything to go on top, including a grey sweater if pastel blue isn’t your thing and you’d rather keep your outfit neutral.

3. All-out moody floral: If you’re really brave and feel like you can pull it off, try a jumpsuit full of moody florals. Pair it with neutral accessories like a silver bracelet because the pattern is so bold other items may clash.

4. Leggings: If you aren’t ready to let go of your leggings, moody florals can work well with a long sleeve black shirt. Leggings are great in place of the jumpsuit if that’s not quite your style.

5. Moody floral dresses: What’s better than a flowy dress swishing around your legs? A flowy dress with a moody floral pattern. You’re sure to look elegant in a dress with a darker pattern and some high heels. Jazz it up with a simple necklace and earrings and you’ve got a great date night look, too!

Vegan leather, better known as pleather, is an emerging industry and cleaning Godsend (it’s waterproof!). The fashion trend is made of plastic, cork, and kelp which are available in moto, cropped, black, and color so there’s no need to hold back your fashion dreams when you’re wearing one of these baddies. Of course, quality and longevity depend on how much you want to spend, but unlike leather, there’s no need to pay a pretty penny in this fashion advice.

Check out this fashion advice on the upside to leather alternatives.

If you love the look of a leather jacket but can’t bring yourself to ethically buy real leather, consider purchasing vegan leather instead when you’re on a search for a new moto jacket with these fashion tips. Check out our fashion tips!

1. The perfect fall piece: Every fall season you will find plenty of celebrities sporting one of these jackets with a scarf tucked around their necks. The reason? Celebrity stylists know that the leather look is timeless and instantly elevates a casual outfit to woah status. For examples on how to wear vegan furs and leathers check out celebrities like Miley Cyrus and Beyonce.

2. Cruelty-Free: If you want to avoid leather for ethical reasons but still like the look of leather, purchasing vegan leather is an option you can explore when looking for the perfect statement piece to add to your wardrobe.

3. Endless shapes: The variety of vegan leather styles means there’s a perfect fit for every body type. For men, the jackets extenuate border shoulders while women’s jackets are styled to show off a narrow waist, curves, or long legs. From flared to fit, there are endless options of shapes and thus endless ways to project an image with a single coat.

4. Low maintenance: Vegan leather is waterproof, especially compared to its counterpart. If your climate runs wet, you should have absolutely no problem maintaining your jacket. However, if the sun is hot and the air arid, then products are made to protect the faux leather against sun rays. These products also have the added effect of softening your new jacket.

5. It’s more affordable: Vegan leather is more affordable than traditional leather, even the higher-end options. You may pay $45 dollars as opposed to $328 for a classic biker style jacket with vegan leather, leaving you more cash to find the perfect boots or jeans to pair with your new statement piece!

Say “goodbye” to the flashy, logo-driven wardrobes you’ve seen over the past few years. According to harpersbazaar.com, this Fall’s 2019 fashion trend will be beige on beige. While you might be tempted after the glitz of sequins, feathers, and neons (oh my!) to accuse beige of being boring, think again. Classically cut neutrals have historically stood the test of time from Audrey Hepburn to Taylor Swift. This fall there’s plenty of reason to dive into the beige trend that look timeless in photos for decades to come.

Beige will be making its way to the fashion runway this fall. To follow this fashion trend, what are some ways to incorporate neutrals into your wardrobe?

Beige’s comeback reminds us that fashion is fluid. What’s trendy must always be measured against what works for our personal style. Here are some fashion tips for incorporating neutrals with your own personal flare:

1. Work with what you’ve got: If you’re a fan of color and cringe at the thought of giving up your hard earned colorful closet, incorporate what you own with the beige trend. Neutrals often make a great base for colorful accents and expressions throughout the rest of the outfit.

2. Remember the statement piece: Just because we’re not demanding funky fashion from these silhouettes doesn’t mean you can’t be playful. Add charm to your classic cuts and beige on beige with statement earrings or a dazzling necklace.

3. Go for classic cuts: Street wear has become popular in recent years, but we’re circling back to timeless cuts. This isn’t a call to end comfort. Instead of tight leggings try a straight legged slack which will give your legs breathing room.

4. Mixing and matching: The task of finding clothes the work together becomes much easier when you’ve opted for simple cuts and beige or khaki bases. The entirety of your wardrobe will match and you’ll never be known as the person whose outfits clash.

5. Color block your beige tones: the beige look doesn’t require the wearer to be completely mono toned. Pair different shades of beige together to create a dynamic and fluid look which will add to the dimensional quality of your look.

According to Independent.co.uk, tie-dye is “set to be one of the hottest trends for summer.” Move over free-spirited hippies from the 1960s, because tie-dye is making its way to the fashion runways and helping people bring their groove back.

Tie die went from a staple in the past, making us think of hippy style and good times, to a staple in today’s fashion trends. How can you use tie-dye to bring your fashion groove back?

If you like to dress in the newest fashion trends hot off the runways, then look no further than some die and the white button-up hidden in the corner of your closet. Cupid has some fashion advice on how you can take your plain outfit to new fashion heights and get your groove back with a bright, tie-dye top:

1. Reimagine an old white shirt: If you’re like me then you have one white top tucked away in your closet that you almost never wear. You bought it on a whim, deluding yourself about how you would keep it clean, and that turned out to not be true. Don’t worry. Grab that old white shirt and hit up your local craft store so you can turn it into a beautiful tie-dyed fashion piece that will be sure to catch your friends’ attention.

Pair them with an elegant, neutral-tone flowing top and matching necklace, and throw on your favorite neutral tennis shoes or flats. If you want to really add that extra dash of fashion know-how, finish the ensemble with a matching hat.

Spring is heading out just as quickly as it came in with summer just around the corner. As the heat rises, we are set to shed our cool temperature clothes and the fashion trends that inspired them. So, send your outdated wardrobe to the thrift store, and pick up that credit card. It’s time to splurge on a new trendy summer wardrobe.

This summer calls for fashion swap outs. If you want to get your groove back with these funky trends, here are some fashion tips for stocking your closet.

Summer style this year is based off of recent decades and exciting colors. Think 90s cuts with 60s accessories and color palette. Here are some ways to incorporate the trends into your wardrobe:

1. Straight legged jeans: in recent years the style has been all about the skinny pant, but dig out your comfy boyfriend jeans because roomy jeans are all the rage. Not only will you look super trendy in the 90s boy band bottoms but you won’t be afraid to treat yourself to an ice cream cone with that new wiggle room.

2. Oversized sunnies: Dig out those Audrey Hepburn sunglasses. Huge, geometric shapes are meant to sit on the bridge on your nose this summer with the added benefit of more sun protection.

3. One-shoulder tanks: Hide that weird tan line with a one shoulder top. The asymmetric style will give a flare of fashion to any bottoms or accessories. It’s the one stop statement piece.

4. The stylin’ suit: Switch out the string bikini for something spunky. Bathing suits with a sense of personality are hot for the summer heat. Go for ruffles to flourish your inner girly girl or if you’re a rocker pick out a suit with studs.

It’s no secret that animal, floral, and geometric patterns have been popular for ages. In celebrity fashion, Anne Hathaway embraced mixing up patterns for a unique look with this fashion trend. You no longer need to give in to the pressure to match prints with solids. Embrace these fashion tips for some wildly fun ideas!

Print mashups are a fun new fashion trend for 2019. Here’s how you can incorporate it into your everyday style!

Even if you just want to dip your toes into print mashups to test out this fashion trend or you want to go all out, we’ve gathered some tips on how to make mixing patterns work for you:

1. Start small: Starting small with a shoe that has two different patterns might be the way to go. This way you don’t need to worry about spending too much on new crazy prints only to feel like you look ridiculous.

2. Find a solid piece: Polka dots, chains, and alphabet lettering. With a new fashion trend comes new releases in department stores. Search for a dress or top with mixed patterns that strikes your fancy and can act as a statement piece on a night out on the town.

3. Accessorize: If you don’t feel comfortable dousing yourself in contradicting patterns, think about finding a purse or clutch to match with a patterned shirt or leggings. That way you will get the look of multiple patterns, but you won’t have to commit to it if you aren’t feeling too sassy that day.

4. Play with size: Try throwing on an oversized cardigan or shawl with color blocks over a pinstripe or polka dot dress when you get more comfortable with this fashion trend. Mixing and matching will give you a unique look when you want to stand out in a crowd!

5. Pair two types of the same print: If you don’t like the idea of mixing animal prints or stripes with florals, think about mixing different colored clothing with the same print on the fabric. This will come off as more professional if you decide to wear it to work, but you’ll be able to have fun at the same time!
