Style for Style: How To Wear...Mini Skirts

FabSugar — Fri, 08 Jun 2007 09:01:33 -0700

We girls need to be careful when it comes to wearing mini skirts. Actually, in general we need to be careful when wearing any item of clothing that reveals a large part of our body. I cringe when I see girls wearing mini skirts wrong; a mini can be classy when worn correctly. Here are some tips to look cool in a mini:

Rule of thumb: keep it sleek by counteracting its inherent sexiness with some not quite as sexy items
On top, choose something more tame than a skintight tank or revealing blouse - wear a frilly blouse or a loose cami with a cool blazer.
Footwear should be minimal. I love minis with flats but if you need some height keep the heels chunky, as seen here at Derek Lam's Spring/Summer collection.
As for Fall footwear, same rule applies, and whether you wear a mini with tights or not, a flat knee boot or wedge boots are the perfect accompaniment.

Trend Alert: Little Boxy Jackets

FabSugar — Thu, 19 Nov 2009 15:00:22 -0800

Nothing goes unnoticed on Victoria Beckham. Not only did she sport some sharp trousers, and an incognito cloche hat at the Heathrow Airport, she threw on a little boxy jacket. A little boxy Chanel jacket. You have to love this woman's luxe travel wardrobe. Chanel tweed is ideal, but you can make an equal statement in fur - embellished, plaid, or striped. You know how to wear it: boxy on top, slim, on bottom. Sweet travels . . .

I Love Your ShopStyle: Sensational Sienna

FabSugar — Thu, 19 Nov 2009 05:50:22 -0800

You know I couldn't resist featuring laural111's amazing spread. Her style muse is none other than the sensational Sienna. The actress's cute outfit, from a NYLON editorial, encompasses Sienna's carefree spirit to a T. Her picks are practically identical, and I like how she remembered the fun adornments. Seriously, what girl could resist a sequin mini, comfy tee, and jean jacket? So Sienna, so saucy.

The City Fashion Quiz, Episode 8, "Forget About Boys"

FabSugar — Wed, 18 Nov 2009 13:00:22 -0800

An exciting photo shoot took place on last night's The City. I won't give away too much, but it was fun to go behind the seams. In the boys department, Whitney went on a painful blind date, and Roxy had drinks with a bad boy from her past. But nothing was more awkward than the Elle dinner with Cobra Starship. I think it's best for Erin and Olivia to not hang out outside of work, don't you? Take the quiz below to see how well you were paying attention to the fashion details.
