What's Next for the Fedora?

I've been trying to forecast what the update could be for the Fedora. I feel like we are saturated with them this summer. Don't get me wrong, I LOVE them. For Fall and Winter: menswear fedoras in wool and heavier fabrications. Now, for Spring and Summer, fedoras in straw and more breathable fabrics. I love them with striped ribbon accents or a little feather. I think they are super sexy on guys, too, don't you?

BUT, there has to be something, a new hat, coming up next... what could it be?! Too many people, in the mainstream, are wearing fedoras now, that this trend will soon be over. So, I am thinking hard about what will go on our pretty little heads by this time next year. I'll let you know what I come up with.

Trend Watching: Summer Scarves

Remember the days when you used to put all your scarves away as soon as the temps hit 60? Well, not anymore!! Summer scarves are huge, they have been trending for a while now, but it seems like they are stronger than ever this year. Either that, or all of us have really cold necks.

I especially love printed scarves paired with a solid dress or top, or mixing in your ensemble. Lightweight fabrics are obviously best for this time of year, but even your Fall scarves can still be worn, if you don't wrap them too tightly, or if your office is kept as cool as a meat locker. I love that we can enjoy this accessory all year long, it adds so much to your overall look. Don't you think? Is everybody rocking summer scarves in your part of the world? I hope so!

Love it.

VPL

I really am glad Summer is here.

Now that you're no longer all bundled in layer upon layer of wooly mammoth sweaters and puffy coats that look like sleeping bags, more of you is ….exposed. Obviously this happens as the temperature rises, and in most cases it is refreshing to see people dressing brighter colors and lightweight fabrics. Heavy layers are shed for shorter skirts, cropped pants and frilly tops... and oh Sweet Lord. What is left?

I just might have to jab out my eyes. VPL. Many of you know what I'm talking about, and for those who do, I'm thankful, because you're probably not contributing to this fashion faux pas. I'm targeting this blog to those of you who have either never heard of VPL or worse yet, know what it is, but think you don't have it. I'm talking about visible panty line.

If you are wearing pants or jeans that are fitted to your bum bum, there had better not be more than one … equator. If there is, you need to be wearing a thong. Don't tell me thongs are uncomfortable and the creep up all day long, puh-leez, they take like 11 seconds to get used to, and then you forget that they are up your butt at all. Go get a thong right now and put it on. Everyone who checks you out from behind will be glad you made this decision, I promise. YPL is the worst thing you can do to your fanny, to your overall style, and to mankind.

My eyeballs thank you.
