We must have confidence for ourselves and our daily lives not only for ourselves but also for other people in our dress and right to wear what we owe accordingly to ourselves. It’s a thing of the day.

This is what I bring to others so that they also have the opportunity to wear what they want. We should also consider what other people will tell us. We will also have the capacity to keep in mind what we will do so that we will not be condemned by other people that they should not.

I did this so that other people would know what they should do or think if they would enjoy reading it hopefully they would also have the confidence that not only other people could be inspired but for everyone. We can wear what we want according to our gender. Let’s let others, we can live without them.

Having self-esteem is as much achive as we want in life because having confidence is a beautiful day-to-day life. We should not compare our self to others because it my hurt our feelings. Even if they were wearing what we want we should be with the flow and do not be stressed if there’s someone talking about it. We should love ourself, youre a gift so be thankful. There’s nothing would be the same if you did not exist. We must be positive even though we are looking at it. Wear what we want or what we love. Life is too short to waste you time to do nothing. When we are wearing what we want but we lack confidence we should not do that we should be focused on our self. The wearing of what we want is not selfish. It’s self-love it is the way to make your self happy.

Are you wondering how to look vintage chic wearing smart everyday clothes and fashion accessories? Do you want to change your usual dressing style for a sophisticated and classy look?

If you want to dress classy in a vintage-inspired way, even with some of your everyday clothes, you will find some helpful tips on how to achieve the style.

You don’t really need to change your entire wardrobe, neither do you need to have a hefty budget for this. Rather, what you need are some basics in your clothing collections and a good number of accessories.

We all know how accessorising can help dictate a vintage style; shoes, jewellery, hats, bags, etc… and as long as you take care of these finer details, you’ll be able to achieve that lady-like charm that’s so characteristic of vintage fashion.

So, how do you create the style of fashionable women of old with your modern clothing? By adding the most unexpected details to your ordinary looking outfits.

Let us see some of the basics first.

• Wear items that are made with classic fabrics like cotton, linen, tweed, silk, wool, and linen. Clothing made of any of these fabrics always gives off an elegant flavour of their own.
• Bold patterns and prints are very vintage and work well for a stylishly sophisticated look.
• Neutral colours like black, white, cream, navy blue, emerald green, and grey are colours you must think of. You can, if you wish, dress head-to-toe in any of these colours but there is no hard and fast rule about your colour combination. Your combination can also be different shades or tints of the same colour (monochromatic dressing).
• Your outfits must be tailored and form fitting so they can show off your figure and follow the curve of your waist. This is typical of vintage clothing. If need be, wear body form shapewear to give you the required curves. You can have some of your looser modern clothes altered to fit properly. If you are not a sewing enthusiast, get it done by a local tailor or seamstress.
• Simple jewellery is the best way to go when aiming for a vintage chic style.
• Vintage fashion is synonymous with modesty. You can’t wear crop or tank tops if you desire a classic style. Dresses and skirts hemlines should not go more than a couple of inches below the knee for day wear and full-length for formal wear and can be sweeping floor length for evening wear.
• Don’t underestimate the clothing you already have in your closet. You can integrate and combine owned items in many ways you didn’t think possible.

The following type of clothing will give you that vintage chic look you aim to accomplish. You don’t necessarily require every item listed but the list will give you a good idea of what will work best for your new classic look.

1. Tailored pants – Ankle, slight bootcut, straight, skinny, or wide-legged.
2. Informal pants – Pedal pushers, culottes, jumpsuits, and shorts
3. Skirts – High-waisted pencil skirt, midi, and ballerina style skirt,  full-circle skirt, swing skirt, flared, and wriggle skirt
4. Dresses – Swing, shift, peplum, coat, and sheath dresses, ball gown, polo dress, shirt-waist dress, drop-waist dress, or flapper style dress.
5. Tops – Long, short, cap, and sleeveless blouses, shirts with tiny buttons, cardigans, knit tops, puff-sleeve shirts, peasant tops and halter blouses.
6. Jackets and Coats – Frock coat, blazers, faux-fur collar coats, wool long coats, swing coats, and trench coats, car coat, hooded cape coats, and vintage tweed coats in short jacket or long coat lengths.

Identifying features of vintage clothes include:

1. Necklines  – square, sweetheart, cowl, and scoop necklines, collared necklines, V-neck, boatneck, or crew necklines.
2. Collars – Peter Pan collars, embellished detachable collars, classic, portrait and boat-neck collars
3. Cuffs – Traditional white cuffs, French, square and Mandarin cuffs, double cuffs, high 3 buttons cuffs or long pointed cuffs.

Vintage Chic Style with Classic Accessories

Nothing can throw off your vintage-inspired style than using the wrong fashion accessories. The shoes you wear and costume jewellery you adorn yourself with must round up your entire ensemble.

There are other good-to-haves too. Scarves, sunglasses, hats, purses, perhaps a parasol (if you want to fashionably dramatic), and purses are items that are best had in your vintage-inspired wardrobe because they are the finishing touches for all that’s been spoken about.

Jewellery

If you endeavour to achieve a classy and sophisticated style, ‘glam-up’ your attires for that Va-Va-Voom look by investing in some classic style costume jewellery that fits within your budget.

Vintage inspired costume jewellery doesn’t have to cost you much but you’ll need some pieces because they are the easiest and most affordable items you need to create a vintage-inspired stylish look.

The following items are what you should look out for:

1. Earrings – Small hoops, cameos, studs (faux pearl or Swarovski), and chandelier earrings.
2. Bracelets – Cuff bangles, cha-cha bracelets, tennis bracelets, and a wristwatch with metal or leather band, name bracelets, charm bracelets, wrap, and clamper bracelets.
3. Necklaces – Long gold or silver chains with pendants made of faux pearls, birthstones, cameo, diamond solitaire, or gold cross including choker necklace, lockets, or bib necklaces.
4. Rings – Delicate or statement rings, thin bands, heirloom rings, art deco rings, and the cocktail ring.
5. Brooch and Pins – Whimsical and flirty pins, cameo brooches, personalised brooches, and gem-set pins.

Shoes

If you love to wear classic style apparel, you will love shopping for affordable vintage style shoes because you know that shoes (and handbags) make the most impressive statement in your dressing. Wear a nice suit with the wrong pair of shoes if a fashion faux pas.

Finding a fabulous pair of vintage-inspired shoes that fit in well with a wardrobe from another era is easy because there are lots of vintage-reproduction shoes that you’ll find to buy, the ones referred to as modern vintage shoes.

Women’s vintage shoe style reproductions to look out for are:

• Espadrille wedges
• Sling-backs
• Lace-up Oxfords
• T-straps
• Mary Jane shoes
• Saddle shoes
• Peep toe shoes
• Patent pumps
• Lace-up boots
• Ballet flats
• Kitten heel pumps or boots
• A pair of red shoes
• Animal print flats
• Stiletto heels(for evening or occasion wear)
• Loafers
• Moccasins
• Sandals

Handbags and purses

Either with modern apparel or vintage-inspired clothing, adding a vintage style handbag or purse to an outfit is a unique way to set yourself a fashion signature.

It’s a good thing that vintage style leather and beaded bags, and clutch purses are constantly in style. Classic handbags are popular and never go out of style so it’s possible that many die-hard vintage fashion enthusiasts have a couple in their closets.

Today’s reproduction of vintage handbags now has special pockets for cell phones and other modern devices as you will find in many of the following bags and purses.

• Retro bags
• Beaded flapper purse
• Floral bags
• Coin purses
• Sister Jane handbags
• Lucite bags

Other vintage style fashion accessories that are good to have are:

1. Vintage Style Sunglasses – 50s cat eye sunglasses and browline sunglasses, 60s over-sized and retro square glasses, 70s tinted lenses, 80s aviator sunglasses, and 90s round wire-framed glasses.
2. Hats – 20s cloche, 40s hats and berets, 50s pillbox hat, cartwheel, boater, fedora, half hats, fascinator hats, and retro pagoda hats.
3. Vintage style umbrella – heart, parasols, and pagoda umbrellas (ruffle-edged, plain, stripes, or polka dots).
4. Scarf – Scarves in solid or monochromatic colours made of cotton, light silk, or wool and patterned with florals, green foliage, stripes, paisleys,  or block colours.

The vintage chic style demands that the clothes and fashion accessories you wear are neat, clean, stylish, but simple. Clothing should be wrinkle-free and colour coordinated and it is important not to over-accessorize for a vintage-inspired look.

Womens vintage clothing is a green option.

Ok, so saving the nature might not be the first thing on your mind when you’re looking for vintage, but hey, you’re wearing something second-hand and original while reducing the pollution the fashion industry is dumping on our earth!

Vintage clothes has unusual fabrics and tailoring.

• The pieces have patterns, details and quality that you often can’t find in most affordable stores today. That’s a total wow-factor when it comes to style!

It’s not like the cookie-cutter clothes you see in our stores today. Vintage is unique and available in limited edition, and that prevents your style from becoming mainstream.

Most vintage clothing is of high quality.

Why? Because further back in time, our society wasn’t so industrialized as it is today. Meaning, most of the clothes in the past were made by hand and designers and pattern makers gave each piece love and attention.

Vintage fashion has something for everyone.

You can find something in vintage fashion that suits your personal style. From dramatic Art Deco 20’s-30’s to tailored 40’s-50’s. Flowy hippie 60’s and disco 70’s to rock & urban 80’s – so really, there’s something for everyone!

Vintage clothing never goes out of style.

(Ok, I’m not talking about the really, reaaaally old vintage, like Victorian, frilly pieces). Vintage is hip and charming. It’s timeless. It’s stylish. Vintage fashion adds depth and realness to your style.

It’s not intimidating as wearing high-end from top to toe, or slavish as the latest fashion trends. But only if you wear it right 😉 You’ll have to adapt to our modern society, so you might want to mix vintage with staples to balance the overall look.

I was mega excited to post this one! We all love an interesting fact, so I spent some time doing some research on the history of vintage clothing and fashion! I had loads of fun doing so, check these out!

Clothes produced before the 1920’s are considered to be ‘Antique Clothing’ and anything 10 years or older is considered to be ‘Vintage clothing’.

Clothes back in the day were much smaller because as years go on, us people grow larger and taller – so when you find a jacket in store that says a Large but would fit your baby siblings… That’s why!

Over 70% of the world’s population uses secondhand or vintage clothes (not even including the US!).

The vintage clothing and recycled clothing industry has saved over 1 million tons of clothing and textiles from ending up in our landfills each year.

The average lifetime of a piece of clothing is only around 3 years. That’s where we step in and help to save the day!

Buying vintage clothing has nothing but a positive effect on the environment unlike buying new. Let’s help out our little old planet with some recycling yeah!

The first ever pair of Doc martins were created from old tires. So if you’re ever stuck for cash for a new pair, just make sure you ask to borrow the tires from the family car first, you should be fine…

One of the oldest most recognisable brands we see, would be Woolrich.

The skirt is the second oldest piece of clothing to exist… and up until the 1600 – 1700’s women AND men wore them, who’s gonna be the first to bring it back then boys?

The zipper didn’t appear on garments until the late 30’s. The two original uses of the zipper back in the day were for closing boots and tobacco pouches. It was almost 20 years until the fashion industry introduced it to clothing! In the 1930’s, a campaign began for children’s clothing to feature zippers. This was top help them be able to dress themselves easier.

Generally speaking, clothing which was produced before the 1920s is referred to as antique clothing and clothing from the 1920s to 20 years before the present day is considered vintage.^[3] Retro, short for retrospective, or “vintage style,” usually refers to clothing that imitates the style of a previous era. Reproduction, or repro, clothing is a newly made copy of an older garment. Clothing produced more recently is usually called modern or contemporary fashion. Opinions vary for these definitions.

Vintage clothing is a form of ease in a fast moving world. Re-wearing clothes from a personal wardrobe and wearing newly acquired vintage and retro clothing, can be understood as a desire to recreate familiarity, or felicity, in a world that is rapidly changing and increasingly impersonal.^[1]

Most vintage clothing has been previously worn, but a small percentage of pieces have not. These are often old warehouse stock, and more valuable than those that have been worn, especially if they have their original tags. Referred to as deadstock or new old stock (NOS), they nevertheless sometimes have flaws. Vintage clothing may be either commercially produced or handmade by individuals.

Popular places to buy vintage clothing include, charity-run second hand clothing shops, consignment shops, garage sales, car boot sales, flea markets, antique markets, estate sales, auctions, vintage clothing shops and vintage fashion, textile or collectables fairs. One of the first regular fairs that was set up specifically to cater for the current demand for vintage clothing is Frock Me!. This event takes place regularly throughout the year in Chelsea, London as well as in Brighton. Vintage clothing is sometimes also obtained from older friends and relatives.

Typically in the United States, vintage clothing shops can be found clustered in college towns and artsy neighborhoods of cities. Sizing is a major factor – in most locations in the United States, the majority of the population would be unable to find vintage clothing that fits. In contrast to thrift stores that sell both vintage and contemporary used clothing, vintage clothing shops are usually for-profit enterprises, with the market mixed between small chains and independent stores. These stores typically range from 200 to 5,000 square feet in size, and will usually have a fitting room. In addition to selling clothing and accessories, many vintage clothing stores also buy clothing from the public in exchange for cash or store credit.

The advent of the internet has been a boon to the vintage clothing industry. It has increased the availability of specific and hard-to-get items and opened up prospective markets for sellers around the world. Popular places to acquire garments include online auctions (e.g. eBay), multi-vendor sites (e.g. Etsy), online vintage clothing shops and specialist forums. Many vintage clothing shops with physical locations now also sell their goods online.

Vintage clothing offers past and present clothing at low prices.  The reduced name brand clothes accomplish uniqueness and originality. Vintage shopping can be viewed as a continuation of discount culture, while simultaneously achieving an individual identity and exclusivity that the brand names have lost.^[1]

Since the beginning of World War I the idea of vintage clothing or reusing clothing was a way of living. During World War I, most clothing was repaired, mended, or tailored for other family members or recycled within the home as rags or quilts.^[2] The government conservation campaign used slogans such as “Make economy fashionable lest it become obligatory” resulted in an approximate 10% reduction in the production of trash.^[2]

In the late 20th century there was as increased demand for high end name brands. During the 1980s, vintage clothing in North America increased because of the demand for reduce high-end name brands.^[1] Now fashion is non selective as it used to be, as vintage clothing has moved to subculture to mass culture it is often not limited.^[1]

Fashion is fast and at our finger tips. The very definition of fashion fuels the momentum for change, which creates demand for ongoing replacement of products with something that is new and fresh.^[4]

This increase in interest is due in part to increased visibility, as vintage clothing was increasingly worn by top models and celebrities, e.g. Julia Roberts, Renée Zellweger, Chloë Sevigny, Tatiana Sorokko, Kate Moss, and Dita Von Teese.^[5][6] Popularity of period pieces set in the mid 20th century in television and film have also contributed to vintage’s popularity. There is even an international magazine called * Vintage Life – specifically a Women’s Fashion and Lifestyle Magazine.

There has also been an increasing interest in environmental sustainability in terms of reusing, recycling and repairing rather than throwing things away. Sometimes vintage items are upcycled via changing the hemline or other features for a more contemporary look. Vintage items in poor condition are also salvaged for reuse as part of new garments.

The textile recycling industry is the environmental part of the fashion industry. Throughout the world, used apparel products are salvaged as reclaimed textiles and put to new uses.^[4]The textile recycling industry is able to process over ninety percent of the waste without the production of any new hazardous waste or harmful by product.^[4]

A resurgence of historically based sub-cultural groups like rockabilly and swing dancing has also played a part in the increased interest in vintage clothes. In Finland the vintage scene has even spawned an officially recognized association or non-profit organization called Fintage out of common interest in the preservation of material culture and the environment.

Fashion design, throughout history has turned to previous eras for inspiration. Vintage clothing retains and increases in value due to the fact that it is genuinely from a past era.^[7] In addition, authentic garments are made one at a time, with enough attention to detail to create an item that has long lasting value. Garments closely resembling original vintage (retro or antique) clothing are mass-produced, for the most part, in China. An example of this is the simple slip dresses that emerged in the early 1990s, a style that resembles a 1930s design, but upon examination will show that it only superficially resembles the real thing. These styles are generally referred to as “vintage style”, “vintage inspired” or “vintage reproductions”. They serve as a convenient alternative to those who admire an old style but prefer a modern interpretation. Sellers claim consumer advantage in that, unlike the original garments, they are usually available in a range of sizes and perhaps, colours and/or fabrics, and can be sold much cheaper.

A common concern I hear from people who have yet to take the plunge into the world of vintage clothing is that, if they do, they will look like they are wearing a costume.

Styling short hair with bangs is an awesome way to shake up your current mid-length style, grow out a shorter cut, or just get a whole fresh new look. Bangs draw attention to your beautiful eyes and can accentuate your cheekbones as well. Another amazing perk of having bangs is that they’re the fastest way to looking “styled.” If you’re short on type but still want to look your best, you can focus on getting your bangs just right and pull the rest of your hair back in a quick up-do.

There are almost as many different types of bangs as there are types of hair cuts! Bangs are so popular because they’re flattering and versatile. If you’re bored with a plain bob or lob, or you want to change up the look of shorter style like a pixie cut, bangs are an easy way to dramatically change the look of your style – even if you don’t change anything else! The “2018” bangs style is all about eye-grazing blunt bangs, choppy cuts, and romantic sides-swept styles.

Blunt bangs are thick, full, and one single length. Most of the time they fall between the eyebrows and upper lids in length, but they can be worn shorter for an edgier look. It’s common to see blunt bangs taper slightly down at the edges to blend in with the rest of the hair. Choppy bangs are cut straight across or at an angle, and the pieces of hair are cut at different lengths to give it a softer edge and that classic choppy look. This is a common style with short pixie cuts but also looks great with bobs and lobs.

Side-swept bangs can be long or short. They do a really beautiful job at softening up blunt, modern styles and also complement waves very well. Side-swept bangs can give the illusion of length when paired with a short cut and can add totally new shape and movement to mid-length cuts.

35) Long Bangs and Shoulder Length Waves

This is a great lob for medium textured hair. This with bangs is cut in layers and you can tell she’s got some natural curl that was probably styled with a diffuser to get those beachy waves. The bangs are long, cheekbone length, and parted to the side for a soft, sexy look.

36) Tousled Platinum Lob With Side-parted Bangs

Va Va Voom! The style is a head turner. The long bob is cut with layers, almost “Rachel” style for 2018. Choppy bangs are perfectly parted to the side. The all-over platinum from root to tip and big volume give this cut bombshell status.

37) Sunny Blonde Long Pixie Cut With Bangs

When you’re growing out a pixie or going short for the first time, you need some medium haircuts to bridge the gap between short and long. This one is perfect! It has the feel of a pixie with the layers and choppy bangs, but the length of an (almost) bob with ear-to-chin length pieces and long side-swept layers in front.

38) Cool Long Bob With Bangs and Middle Part

There’s something really daring about a blunt bob with a center part. We’ve seen it more often lately and love it every time! The bob is simple and blunt. With no layers in front, bangs give contrast around the face and look really nice when parted down the center like this.

39) Loosely Crimped Bob With Full Bangs

This short bob with bangs is sexy as hell. The chin-length bob is cut sans layers which gives it a contemporary, full look. These blunt bangs are thick and tapered at the sides to lend a boho-chic air to this otherwise modern cut. The styling on this is great because it’s somewhere between big crimps and loose curls.

40) Sleek and Straight Bob With Blunt Bangs

This has got to be one of the best hair ideas we’ve seen in a while. TBH, you really need to have naturally straight texture (or a dedicated blow-out schedule) to make this work on the regular, but it’s totally worth it. The long bob is styled sleek with gently curled under ends, a refreshing twist on the stick straight variety. These blunt bangs are cut straight across and masterfully accentuate the rest of the cut.

41) Edgy White Blonde Pixie With Long Bangs

Short hair with side bangs is a no-brainer, and this cut shows just how versatile that style can be. This is a very short hairstyle with choppy layers on the sides and back that make it perfectly textured. All the length is on the top, where side bangs are cut in to swoop dramatically across the forehead. The allover platinum blond accentuates the cut perfectly!

42) Chin-length Cute Hairstyles for Girls

This short layered haircut with bangs is perfect for girls who want to try their hand at shorter hair but aren’t ready to dive into a full-on pixie. This is a bob cut but its got layers from front to back that give it volume and is angled into longer pieces around the face. The bangs are long and designed to blend into the longer front layers when parted on the side. It’s a cute easy hairstyle with a ton of personality!

43) High Gloss Bob With Bangs

Bust out your shine spray, ladies! This hairstyle is classic bob with bangs that bring it up to date. The bob is chin length and styled straight with curled under ends. The bangs are what really make the cut shine. They’re long and blunt, which is a great choice with a traditional cut like this. Make use of your flatiron and a generous amount of shine spray to finish the look.

44) Punk Rock Bob With Short Bangs

Rock-n-roll isn’t dead, it just went to the salon! A hairstyle with bangs this short is a daring choice, but you can totally pull it off! This is a very layered haircut with bangs that are blunt and cut straight across, but at a much shorter length to give it that punk feel. Styled straight, mussed up, and platinum, this is one hairstyle that takes some dedication and upkeep!

45) Sultry Silver Lob and Side Swept Bangs

This is one moody ‘do from the color to the style. The layered bob with bangs is cut long (shoulder-length) and the wispy bangs are short but perfectly accent the longer layers in the rest of the cut. The dark silver balayage is simply gorgeous. We love that this is styled super straight but has the perfect amount of volume on the top and sides to make it feel really glam.

46) Natural Medium Length Women’s Haircut

This is a perfect example of how you can use your natural texture for low maintenance short hair with bangs that looks great! This style works best with fine and/or silky hair textures that are naturally straight. It’s a basic shoulder-length bob and full, choppy bangs that are the only “layers” in the cut. This totally gives, “I woke up like this,” vibes.

47) Layered Blonde Bob With Choppy Bangs

A layered bob with bangs gives you amazing texture, dimension, and depth. If your hair is a little bit thin or fine, you can “fake” thicker texture with a cut like this. Loads of layers are cut all around the bob and the choppy ends soften up the cut. The choppy bangs are an extension of the layers and give the style a nice finished look. Don’t let the style fool you, you will NOT roll out of bed looking like this! Daily effort is definitely required.

48) Sunburnt Red Ombre Bob With Short Choppy Bangs

Hello, surfer girl! This cut is beach-worthy and while the color is anything but natural, it somehow looks like it because of the burnt ombre effect. The style itself is actually really classic: chin-length short hair with bangs. There are 2 features that set this off. First, the bangs are styled really blunt, straight, and with a tiny bit of choppiness that makes them really stylish. That color does all the rest of the work so there’s no mistaking this for a dated look.

49) Sleek Glossy Bob With Eye-grazing Bangs

IF hair you owe it to yourself to get this haircut at least once in your life. This is so glamorous we can barely take it. Totally Linda Evangelista in her prime. Chin length blunt bob, choppy eye-grazing bangs, shiny straight styling. It’s hair perfection!

50) Gorgeous Curly Bob and Bangs

FACTS ABOUT HAVING SHORT HAIR STYLE

1. It’s different.

What may seem like a drastic hairstyle change for you is generally indiscernible to guys. So while I don’t notice the difference between “blown out” and “natural” and whatever, I do understand the concept of length. Shorter: gotcha.

A woman intentionally changing her appearance is almost always a win. It’s like returning from vacation with a tan, undergoing an Olivia Newton John in Grease-esque makeover, or posing for an “after” shot in a Proactive commercial. Cutting your hair short is like reinventing yourself and reinvention is sexy—especially if I notice it.

2. It shows confidence.

It seems like cutting your hair can be a frightening and potentially traumatic experience, like everyone who donates to Locks of Love is immediately enlisted in the Marines.

I can relate to an extent. During my first haircut, my hysterical crying could only be pacified by a roomful of supportive family members and endless supply of cotton-candy flavored Dum Dums. So I get it: Cutting your hair is difficult.

When a woman takes that chance, faces her fears head-on (see what I did there???), and shows up on Monday rocking the socks off a pixie or bob or bowl cut (which I sported for about a decade), she’s got a fan in me.

3. It puts you in good company.

I couldn’t name three curly-haired celebrities or three wavy-haired celebrities, partially because again, in guys’ minds, what’s the difference? Short-haired celebs, though? I’ve got about a dozen on deck.

So when a girl goes from “Party in the USA” to “We Can’t Stop” up top, I immediately associate her with other short-haired beauties: Rihanna, Pink, Amber Rose, Demi Moore in GI Jane, Beyonce for, like, the span of one Instagram photo, and Robyn, among others. Anything you can do to liken yourself to Jennifer Lawrence is a big win.

4. It accentuates your beautiful features.

Namely your face and the pretty stuff attached to it.

Once I told a female friend I was dating a girl with a buzz cut. “Oh, she must be really pretty,” my friend responded. “If her hair is that short, she definitely has a gorgeous face.” And she totally did! I’m not sure how she knew this or why it’s true, but I’ll just accept it and move on.

Short hair also shows off and elongates your neck, which I love almost as much as everything above and below it. And less hair means more ears. I had no idea how much I loved your ears, mostly because, thanks to your long hair, I sort of forgot you had them.

5. It’s out of the way.

As much as I love touching and smelling and doing other creepy-sounding things to your hair, it can be a nuisance. When we kiss, I’m repeatedly moving it out of your face because gravity. When cuddling and/or sleeping, it’s somehow always getting into my nose and mouth, suffocating me. If I ever ask to be the little spoon, you know why.

Short hair alleviates these issues and provides easy access to your scalp, the most underrated and underutilized frontier for sensual touch north of the belly button.

6. It grows back.

If you are thinking of adopting this trend before making the change it is important to talk with a good professional to find out if this length suits your type of face and hair. This tip is essential for anyone who is thinking of making a radical change since the shortcut can not match some types of faces.

Before taking any decision, it is also important to know that short hair is ideal for a striking personality of women, and especially for those who have not attached the locks. Who chooses the short length should let go of long hair since it is a very radical change. But despite being radical, it is a great alternative to modern women who want to change the look and renew.

The Peaked short cut is a classic that never goes out of fashion. What differentiates this cut from others is its length which is slightly higher on the sides and the fringe that gives a special charm. As it is done in layers, to leave the tamed and beautiful hair, drying should be done with the help of fingers to show the rough ends that leave the most stripped cut. It is interesting to know that peaked shortcuts are best suited for women with an oval face.

These are the female short hair cuts that are more successful with women and that are up right now. But there are several other types of shortcuts to choose from. Remember that before taking the short cut, it is important to consult a trusted professional and think about it to know if you are really willing to abandon the medium or long hair. After that just set the model that has to do with your style and make the change!

Hard to choose the best short cut, is not it? There are many styles that it is difficult to choose one that suits your style options. To help you choose the ideal model for you, here are several photos of female short hair. Enjoy ideal for inspiration!

In case you’ve been living under a rock, your sneakers are meant for more than just the gym these days. Though they got their start as flimsy “plimsolls” meant for working-class holidaymakers and purpose-built footwear designed for athletes, sneakers have become a staple in a every man’s (and woman’s, for that matter) wardrobe. From lifestyle to red carpet to sports, nowadays your sneakers can be an expression of yourself. And today we’re showing you how to do it right.

Sneaker Rules: The Basics

No matter what kind of sneakers you settle on, there are a few basic principles for how to wear sneakers.

Always:

• Buy sneakers that suit your current wardrobe: What good does it do to buy the latest ‘hype’ style if it doesn’t suit your style? Don’t hop on the trend train just because it’s passing through. Choose shoes that complement what you already have, not shoes that require you to repurchase your entire wardrobe. We’re looking at you Yeezy lovers.
• Wear them to the right occasions (don’t go too casual): Sneakers are incredibly versatile, but they’re no substitute for dress shoes. You can get away with sneakers with any off-duty outfit – and perhaps even some casual, unstructured suits – but they’re not meant for every occasion (i.e. weddings). Err on the side of overdressed rather than underdressed.
• Keep them clean: It doesn’t matter how cool your sneakers are, the effect will be lost if they’re not spick-and-span. Proper sneaker maintenance includes washing the laces, eliminating odours, brushing the outsoles, and using shoe trees and sneaker shields.

Understanding Your Sneakers & Trainer Types

Sneakers come in many shapes and sizes these days. From the very basic to the brightest leather, from the minimal to the metal fastenings, there are few rules when it comes to your trainers. With so many options available, it can be hard knowing exactly what’s what and even harder to know what’s most likely to suit your wardrobe and taste.

Luckily, you have us here to make things easier. We’ve put together a How To Wear Sneakers Style 101 guide that should have you acing your footwear exams in no time.

• Basic Sneakers – These are your Converse, Vans, etc., types. Sometimes they come in leather, but they’re typically found in canvas and in basic colours. On the whole they’re generally affordable and easy to wear / clean.
• Refined Luxury Sneakers – They might bear a resemblance to the basic sneakers, but they’re more expensive and often made from suede or leather by brands like Tom Ford, Lanvin & Saint Laurent. These are not something you take to a music festival.
• Classic Sports Sneakers – Think Nike Air Max 90, Reebok Pump, Asics, Tiger and other forms of old school sport greatness. What was once ready for the track and field is now kept safely in a shoe collection at home.
• Current Sport Sneakers – Again, these are your Nike, Adidas and Puma brands, but with modern styling and shapes.
• High-fashion Sneakers – These are the work of brands like Givenchy, Christian Louboutin, Maison Martin Margiela, Diemme and even Giuseppe Zanotti. They’re loud and designed to be noticed.
• High Tech – This special group may not be universally recognised yet, but I hear by dub it “High Tech.”  This is the category for the likes of Rick Owens and other designers who are really pushing the limits of sneaker design.

What You Need To Know To Get The Best Look

Now that you’ve selected your poison, it’s time to actually pair them with your wardrobe. And no, it’s not a case of wearing your one pair of sneakers with any pair of jeans. There’s a fine art in the craft so pay attention.

Cons, Chucks, canvas kicks… whatever you call them, the basic sneaker is the most versatile casual sneaker you can buy. They work well with denim, chinos and shorts of pretty much any colour and shade.

Where I find guys sometimes get a little unstuck with these types of sneakers is when they wear them to smart casual events or to work when a dress shoe is required. The basic sneaker DOES NOT work for every occasion and should be kept solely for casual situations. Your best bet on top is to run with print t-shirts, gingham shirts or even a blazer for the college professor look.

• Mix with relaxed, slim & skinny denim and chinos
• Keep for casual/street occasions only
• Maintain to ensure they stay clean and respectable
• Best suited to younger men

Refined Luxury Sneakers

My personal favourite is the luxury take on the basic sneaker. These beautiful specimens have allowed sneakers to jump from street casual to smart casual without looking like they belong on a teenage boy. They can be worn with tailored trousers, slim denim, chinos and in some cases even casual unstructured suiting.

I tend to avoid wearing them with shorts, as these sneakers are quite often bulky in comparison to the basic canvas sneakers. Keep it refined on top to match the shoe. Basic t-shirts, smart shirts and polos are all great options. For a more distinct look, opt for a shirt with a slim or knit tie, a blazer and some slim denim.

• Dress up, not down
• Start with black, then purchase other colours
• Take extra care with suede and don’t wear it too often
• Try brighter pairs for summer / European holidays

Classic Sports Sneakers

Sneakerheads, unite! These babies started the sneaker revolution that we have today. Jordans, Pumps, 90s – these are your street-going, hip-hop kicks that are just popping with colour. The idea with classic sports sneakers is to find a couple that complement your style and purchase a few pairs in different colours.

Slim- and tapered-fit denim, loose t-shirts (with or without prints) and casual outerwear are your essential staples when it comes to dressing these sneakers. Pair them with chino shorts for an easy win in summer. The key is to find the balance between hip-hop artist and everyday citizen. Some guys like to rock a snap back – that’s up to you. Personally, I like to colour match my sneakers with what I’m wearing on top, to give the look a sense of purpose and cohesiveness.

• Find a few styles you like and stick to them
• Colour match if you can
• Pin roll, or rock with khaki chinos when it’s warm
• Sell them on eBay if you don’t like them

Current Sport Sneakers

Wearing this style of sneaker can have you looking like Jerry Seinfeld if you’re not careful. On the other hand, you can quite easily look like a ‘houso’ (chav) if you pair them with tracksuit pants. As much as possible, stick with sneaker releases that are low profile with a fashionable edge.

Too runnery/sporty and they’ll look bulky and not quite right. Wear these as you would classic sneakers or with gym/running gear on the weekend. Steer clear of denim that’s loose fitting, as it never seems to work. Instead choose slim Nudie chinos or elastic cuff variations. On top, keep it sporty and casual with t-shirts only.

• Avoid all white pairs
• Don’t tuck shirts into denim with these sneakers
• Go for a sporty look to compliment the shoe

High-Fashion Designer Sneakers

Expensive and not for the faint of heart, these top end sneakers are getting louder and more in-your-face every season. For an example of someone who wears them well consistently, look to Kanye West. A common approach to wearing these sneakers matches them with slim denim that’s often gathered at the bottom and t-shirts with open plaid shirts. There’s also the parisian style, which includes long and drapey blazers and singlets that add even more edge to the look. Black denim is a must-own item as well as longer, looser fit t-shirts.

• Stick with blacks, whites and mute colours
• Let the sneakers to the talking
• Denim is your best friend

High Tech, High Fashion

Only a few will dare to wear these sneakers. They’re highly fashion-forward and to me only really work with drapey and long fitting clothing. Stick with black and do as little as possible to draw attention to the shoes – they will do that themselves. Ideally you want people to think that you’re not trying too hard when you wear these types of kicks, so muted attire is best.

• Black, black, and more black
• Go for long and draped style of clothing
• Be prepared for people’s comments

How to impress people? Being elegant is the answer; it makes you look feminine, attractive, and mature!

Clothing affects my confidence. It’s not like I’m unconfident without a good outfit, per se, but a killer shoe and a dress I love can help me feel like I’m going to nail an interview or dazzle a social scene. Even if you’re not like me and don’t see a connection between your clothes and confidence, looking into how what we wear affects who we are might be important.

In a study published in Journal of Experimental Social Psychology, medical students who wore lab coats that they were told belonged to doctors performed better on tests than those who wore street clothes or were told the (same) coats belonged to artists. You might be thinking what does this have to do with me? — maybe you already crushed it through med school without doctors’ lab coats, or maybe you failed out of freshman year Chemistry. The details, of course, do not matter, as this is essentially a psychological explanation of “dressing the part.”

There is a direct correlation between what we wear and what we think of our potential. You might’ve heard the saying, “dress for the job you want, not the job you have.” Well if it’s confidence we seek (and don’t we all?), then why not dress the part? You can use style as one of the many tools to boost your self-confidence. So when you find yourself looking through your closet to get dressed in the morning, far from any sort of lab coats, here are some tips to help you dress for your most confident self.
