Fashion Trend That Goes Straight to the Hips

By RAY A. SMITH A. J. Bari black peplum dress

It sounds like a very bad idea: Design clothes with an extra flap of fabric around the part of a woman’s body about which she is most sensitive.

The hip-accentuating peplum is back.

It’s springing from dresses, jackets and pants in stores thanks to high-end designers including Giorgio Armani, Celine and Jason Wu and mainstream retailers like J. Crew and H&M.

Actually, the peplum doesn’t have to be a booty bummer, say designers and retailers. With the right fit, it can be flattering for most women.

Magazine Monday: Spring Trend, Rosettes

Rosettes TrendAnother hot trend for spring are rosettes.  Also called florets, or flower, these small three dimensional flowers add a touch of femininity and spring to what ever you are wearing.  Rosettes are great on accessories, as seen here, but they also add whimsey to dresses and tops, like the Moschino purple chiffon blouse.  If rosettes seem too girly, try a floret made out of leather, like the blue pumps below.  Adding a flower to a conservative knit dress, like the Raul Blanco red and black knit dress can make it feel more youthful and modern.  No matter how you choose to wear a flower, it is an easy way to freshen up your spring wardrobe.

A Vintage Prom Dress Passes the Test

As more and more high schools tighten the dress code for prom, high schoolVintage Victor Costa fuchsia chiffon strapless dress students are turning to vintage prom dresses as the solution. Not only are they more affordable, but they also tend to be more conservative, complying with the dress codes of most schools.
Today’s dresses are all about selling sex appeal. It is very difficult for a 17 or 18 year old girl to find a dress that is appropriate, a dress that isn’t too sexy on one hand, and isn’t little girly on the other. The optimal dress is a happy medium of sophisticated, and classy, not trashy, and that is surprisingly hard to find, in retail stores at least.
