Urban Wear: More Than Just Fashion

Urban wear is more than just fashion and clothes, over time it has become personal statement.  The person who is wearing it is stating their individuality. Before urban wear was only associated to hip hop artists.  Now, not only hip hop artists are donning on the colourful style, it has become a worldwide fashion trend.

As mentioned, urban wear signifies the individuality of the person wearing it since they could individualized their style and make it stand out.  With urban wear undergoing changes, it has become a hit not only to teens or young adults.  It is also garnering appeal from higher age groups.  It is also starting to transcend socio-economic classes.   Hip hop artists, influential and public people can be seen wearing this style from time to time. 

What makes it appealing is the variety.  There are different clothing styles to choose from like t-shirts, jeans, shorts, Capri and cargo pants, and hoodies.  These styles could stand out it the crowd weather it is because of their contradicting styles, colors, graphics, or messages.  An evidence of the growing market would be the many and different urban clothing brands in stores and in people’s cabinets.

It has developed so much that these people already have their own sub-culture.  Clothing designs and style reflect the mannerisms, way of talking and even walking of those people who wear urban clothing.  But this sub-culture has been accepted and became part of American society, and even the world.

However, the biggest critic on urban clothing is how pricey it could be.  There are several hip hop artists who are insistent on wearing inexpensive urban clothing and accessories as their statement against materialism.  Urban clothing and hip hop is not about the clothes and jewelries you wear, but the attitude that you wear.

With the popularization and mainstreaming of urban clothing and hip hop, there are numerous stores, whether on-ground or online that are offering various options for urban styles.  There are some urban clothing followers who may not be into bright colors, baggy pants or loud accessories.  But these people are able to mix urban clothing with their traditional styles, creating another genre of fashion

Urban clothing followers have developed great sense of style since they were able to mix traditional and urban wear together.  They are becoming adventurous is exploring fashion and breaking rules to express themselves.  It can be a miss or hit for different people, but the fact that they were able to assert their individuality is truly courageous.

Fashion designers are already paying attention to this sub-culture and starting to capitalize on it.  Urban clothing designers would build a close relationship to street consciousness, identifying what urban wearers want.  After all, fashion trends would always pick up what is hip and in demand on the street.

Currently, urban clothing designers are addressing or shifting their attention to young and street savvy generation or urban fashion customers.  Some would refer to urban wear as “contemporary” or “metropolitan” style. But whatever name it would be, the style, the person’s individuality and the statement that they would like to make would still stand out.  Colors can change but the soul could not.

What Every Women Wants to know 101: continued

Greetings Folks!

Today we are going to talk about the next thing in which we search for in our fashions today! This is a big one..
Variety! Everyone of us is different in style, color, glamor, looks, and detail! We strive to find fashions that give
us the variety we need to claim the ultimate wardrobe.

Which may be dramatically different in each of us! Finding a variety in size and color is often challenging. Women range
widely in size and shape; finding a matching color as well as the right size can be quite a feat! If they have the right size they
don't have the color...if they have the color they don't have the size it never falls. It becomes harder the bigger you are.

However there are some new fashions out these days for the average not so tiny women! This is becoming a more common
thing, but how long will this trend last....take a look at these images...anything you like?


What about this? Or this.....?


I thought not! Most women do not like the over whelming open bottom pants...or are they. Then look at the dress satire....
What does this say to you? Funeral...she smiles but is she comfortable...probably not!


Finding clothes for the average Plus size women is terribly trying....but look at these fashions...do they speak to you...

how about this....does it say comfort? Does this say casual professional?


Finding the trendy plus size clothes can be big business this day and age....however trivial many think this may be it is your style...
comfort...and social life on the line...make sure it reflects you....!

Until next time!
Smiles!

What Women Want 101: continued...

Good Day All!
Today we will talk about COMFORT! Yes ladies, we realize that most of you not only look for the
a sophisticated look for our careers but you look for a great deal of comfort! Can I go from work to
relaxation relatively easy.

When we take our children to that Basketball game, soccer, etc...how much time do I have to change
or get ready....most of us have none! So we need something we can feel not only physically comfortable
in but socially too!

Do I send a professional look to the other parents...without my comfort being disrupted. Cause we all
know we count the minutes before we can go home to our families! We sometimes day-dream of that
new garment sliding across our skin when we arrive home...Rushing to our room to change!

The sandals in the summer allowing the air between our toes...and the breeze blowing across our legs when
we put on our shorts... but style is also important whenever we step out the door. So we search for the right
shorts, shoes, and fashion accessories to make our day-dream happen quickly and confidently.

Summer Comfort is Here!
Visualize the sun in your hair or
the Breeze on your face....COMFORT!




The Day-Dream

What about this image? What do you see in her?

Remember we are all a like in our simple pleasures, Find the ones that make you happy!

"Because...You only live once!"


Until next time!
Smiles,
