Accessorizing a Corset Top

Accessorizing a Corset Top I recently bought a black silk shantung corset top, and I have no idea what to wear with it on bottom? (Chicago, IL) Bravo to you, the corset top is one of the strongest silhouettes this season. The super sexiness of it gets a modern fashion bolt when paired with more classic offerings, like a superbly tailored menswear black tuxedo or well-worn flare-leg jeans and high heels. What you don't want to do is wear it with something skimpy or slinky… that look is way too tarty! Before you buy anything (no matter how in love with it that you think you are) it's always best to have something at home that you can wear it

Correct Season to Wear White… Is it ok to wear white after Labor Day?

Correct Season to Wear White... Hi! I need some help. I have a co-worker who showed up to work yesterday in an off-white linen outfit. I told her to send it to the dry cleaners and put it away until next spring. I realize that we are in Southern California and the temperature is in the 80's today, but some fashion rules still apply, right??? (I already told her about the white shoe thing).

Would appreciate any help you can provide. (Pasadena, CA) Rules, my

Boots With Bare Legs

Boots With Bare Legs Is it tacky to wear a skirt with boots and no nylons in the Fall? There is about an 1" to an 1 1/2" between the top of the boot and the start of the skirt. The skirt falls just above the knee. Thanks. (Bothell, WA) Boots worn without pantyhose has been enjoying a run as a very hot look, providing you have great legs to bare. Although trendy, I would freeze my petunias off running around with bare legs in the cold. If you must eschew pantyhose, a little bit of a kneesock peeking out above your boot is totally hip right now. But, what's a bit more modern these days is fishnet hose (particularly

Latest Fashions On A Small Budget

Latest Fashions On A Small Budget How can I stay up with the latest fashions on a small budget? (Joplin, MO) It's easy if you stay lean and mean! Keep your core wardrobe to simple shapes in coordinating styles that should last a few seasons. Then, add a couple of trendier, inexpensive pieces to keep your look modern.

Resort Fashion, Palm Beach Style

Resort Fashion, Palm Beach Style I am going to Palm Beach in November. What seasonal rules apply in warm weather resort areas like Palm Beach? Is it okay to wear linen and cotton pastels even though it is November? What would be the appropriate attire for a dinner out? I do not want to look like a tourist? (Baytown, TX) Wherever you travel, it's safe to say, dress in a fabric weight appropriate for the temperature and a color palette appropriate for the season. Even in this time when appears to have come out of a global mall of style, every city around the world still has its own unique little dress code. There are certain mini-trends that just pick-up

Sock Etiquette-How To Coordinate Socks

Sock Etiquette-How To Coordinate Socks for men or women, do your socks match your pants/slacks color or do they match your shoe color? -(New Hope, MN) The socks should always match or complement the trouser and the belt always matches the shoe.
