Trend Alert: Zippy Tops

FabSugar — Tue, 12 Jan 2010 07:50:22 PST

If zippered jeans or shoes weren't your flavor, give zippy tops a try. The way I see it, zippered tops - a la tanks, tees, tunics - are a low-commitment, high-style risk. There are tons of affordable options for you to experiment with and major fashion points to be earned. Ashley Greene rocked a print version with high-waisted MiH jeans and a Gucci bag for a radically '70s look while walking the streets in LA. I kinda love it.

Simply Fab: Kors Michael Kors Multi Zip Boot

FabSugar — Fri, 02 Oct 2009 03:00:22 PDT

There's good news and bad news. The good news: There's no boot dress code this Fall. It's pretty much anything goes in terms of heel height, over-the-knee, bootie - you name it, it's totally wearable. The bad news: this could lead to some manic dressing - crazily changing footwear at least 10 times before getting out the door.

The ever-practical Michael Kors has a solution. These Kors by Michael Kors Multi Zip Boots ($891) playfully combine function and fashion. Essentially, four boots in one. You're still paying a lot per pair, but let's not forget the price of cool - the ability to unzip (four times) to a whole new look just might make these worth the price tag.

Look of the Day: Maximum Impact

FabSugar — Mon, 28 Sep 2009 06:50:22 PDT

Sometimes, you don't need a lot to make a statement. That's why I like VintageBabe's modern outfit. Her streamlined khaki dress has only one focal point: the wraparound zipper. This detailing might be minimal, but it gives her maximum impact.

Here's what she has on:

Dress: Sfera
Blazer: Atmosphere
Tights: Cubus
Booties: Unknown

Congrats to VintageBabe!

Trend Alert: Zippered Jeans

FabSugar — Tue, 28 Jul 2009 07:50:22 PDT

The '80s are back, and with them zippered jeans. I know, I know, it's trendy, and can be tacky, but look at how Comic-Con empress Emma Stone makes it look cupcake-cute. By pairing her dark blue zippered jeans with an ultra-femme bowed top, she bypassed the retro overtone. It's a perfect blend of tough and tasty.

Look of the Day: Zip It Real Good

FabSugar — Tue, 21 Jul 2009 03:50:22 PDT

The exposed-zipper craze is still going strong, as exemplified by chicandcool. Her dress reminds me of the Phillip Lim recycled zipper dress Kate Bosworth wore. Her red clutch and patent pumps up the sassy factor. Simple yet snazzy. Zip it . . . zip it real good!

Here's what she's wearing:
Dress: Pink
Shoes: Shoebox
Clutch: Mango

Congrats to chicandcool!

Look of the Day: Zip It Real Good

FabSugar — Tue, 23 Jun 2009 05:50:22 PDT

Xoqiqixo knows how to zip it real good. Had her skirt not had an exposed zipper running down the center, the look wouldn't have been as snazzy. See what I mean? Love the pop of green, too!

Unfortunately she didn't give us the details of her outfit, so come back and dish.

Congrats to xoqiqixo!

Who Wore It Better? Phillip Lim Recycled Zipper Dress

FabSugar — Tue, 07 Apr 2009 14:00:22 PDT

Remember the Phillip Lim recycled zipper dress Kate Bosworth wore at the Gorgeous and Green event when I spoke with her? It was absolutely stunning in person. Looks like Becki Newton agrees. The actress wore the same dress to a party in NYC yesterday. Both blondes wore pointy black pumps and kept themselves free of gaudy jewels. But, it appears that Becki's shoes are suede, while Kate's are leather. Who do you think looks better in Phillip Lim's recycled zipper dress?
