The women’s bootcut jeans are shaped so they tighten towards the knee and then flair out from the knee to the ankle. These bootcut jeans are more preferred by women who are little on the heavier size. This shape makes them look slimmer. The women’s bootcut is flattering on everyone is not true.
Women who are smaller in size or petite should actually avoid wearing bootcut jeans and they should actually go for jeans with a straight leg. If the women is short they too should avoid wearing the bootcut jeans as bootcut shape makes the thigh look more heavier by hugging the knee too tightly on a shorter women, the women’s bootcut jeans . will also make the legs look shorter in a shorter women.
Wearing bootcut jeans can also help balance the curvy hips, so they are more appropriate for women who have triangle or hourglass shaped figure and also shorter women provided you select the bootcut jeans with a slight bootcut, rather than fuller bell type, which are wide at the hem. Too much width will take away the lean line that the short women need to establish by wearing a bootcut jean.
The ideal body types of the women who can wear bootcut jeans with more flair at the hem is the women who are taller than 5’4″ and above who have long legs. It’s advisable to take the advice of a professional before you decide to buy women’s bootcut jeans.

How to Wear Mens Suede Shoes
Posted on June 19th, 2009 No commentsWhat are staple shoes?
Staple shoes are the foundation for your outfit. Another way to define staple shoes is to consider them as ‘go to shoes’. This means that whenever you’re in doubt, you have a reliable pair of shoes to see you through. Suede shoes can be a great staple shoe, because you wear them with business casual attire or jeans and a t-shirt. When searching for the perfect suede staple shoes seek lace up oxfords, slightly round toes, and leather soles. If you travel frequently you can wear these shoes to the airport and on the train, and pair them with one or more outfits in your luggage.
Are suede shoes hard to care for?
All shoes look great when they are properly cared for. Many people admit that the first thing they notice about an individual are their shoes. Are your laces tattered? Do you have obvious scuff marks, tears, rips, and stains? All shoes suffer from wear and tear, but it is up to you to make sure you make your money for you by taking care of your footwear. Genuine suede shoes need different maintenance than leather tennis shoes. Forget about wearing your suede shoes in the rain and snow. The liquid will damage the shoes. When you purchase your suede shoes, bite the bullet and buy a can of silicon spray. Spraying the silicon spray before you wear your shoes offers a protection from the elements. If your suede shoes do get stained, simply rub the shoes with a dry rag or sponge to loosen the stain. If your stains are deep and hard to remove have your shoes cleaned by a professional cobbler.
Suede Shoes Tips
When you wear a tie, your shoes should be tied. Lace up oxfords go perfectly well with a business suit and tie.
If you’re wearing a sports coat and nice slacks (or trousers) and a casual shirt and slacks opt for suede shoes with a side buckle or strap.
With your basic jeans select suede tennis shoes from brands such as Vans, Converse, and Puma.
Suede boots can make a nifty fashion statement. Suede waterproof boots by Timberland go best with casual attire.
Suede loafers can be your staple shoe for business casual and semi-casual attire.

How to Wear Leggings
Posted on June 11th, 2009 3 commentsFashion is an ‘old lady’ that has influenced the way we dress for years. She might be old but is very strong and controls all of us. She establishes what’s ‘in’ and if we want to look trendy we have no other choice than to obey.
Fashion is also very creative and courageous. She combines trends that were popular in the past with newly discovered trends and is even not afraid to predict the future. And from time to time she likes to surprise us and brings back something from the past we thought and hoped is never coming back. In 2005 she surprised us with a huge comeback of leggings. Not that it was a pleasant surprise for me. It was more like – ‘ Seriously? Leggings. Are you kidding me?’ I’m still not a big fan, but I have to admit that once you learn how to wear leggings right, they can help you to look great and feel confident.
In the past people used to wear leggings made of buckskin or wool for protection against cold and animal bites and later they were worn for exercise. It wasn’t until 1960s that leggings became a part of fashion.There are some important rules that can teach you how to wear leggings appropriately to look great and feel confident and comfortable. And as long as you will abide by these rules, you can for example learn how to wear leggings without looking as you have just stepped out of a gym.
If you want to avoid that wear them at the top of your calves, but never above the knee, unless you like to carry your bicycle around as an accessory. Remember that leggings are not bicycle trousers.
Use rather leggings as an accessory and try to match them with the rest of your outfit. It should be quite easy as they are available in different colours. So it’s not only a good old black but brighter colours as well.
Leggings are not trousers so don’t use them as an alternative to trousers and don’t wear them with sweatshirt or short, tight tops as you might end up looking half naked.You might have noticed that the most common way how most women wear leggings these days is with oversized, long sweaters, long blouses or knee length dresses. It’s definitely the best combination and it’s very practical as well, especially when you have curvier hips or thighs.
As an accessory you can wear some huge belt and leggings definitely look best with flat shoes, like ballet flats or boots.
But oversized clothing is not the only way how to wear leggings. You can also wear them under mini skirts or short shorts, with some flat shoes, like sandals or cowboy boots.If you are like me and you’re not very pleased with the comeback of these very tight – fitted leggings I have one advice – give them a try, especially if you want to be ‘in’ this year you should have few pairs in your wardrobe.
Use these rules of how to wear leggings appropriately and you never know, you might even thank that old, experienced lady called fashion for bringing them back.
