So you’re tall and lanky, and for a fashion- forward and chic gal, anything and everything just wouldn’t work to make you stand out, and not freakishly. For tall gals, the baggy look is major fashions don’t. You see, wearing baggy jeans only makes you look skinnier and taller. The answer to the tall and skinny gal’s fashion dilemma is boyfriend jeans.
Finding the right boyfriend pants makes you look trendy and sexy- without even trying. It’s basically that candid chic and appealing look that everybody wants to achieve. That’s what an authentic fashionista is good at- looking good with a breezy attitude. Effortlessly fab. A boyfriend pant is the basic apparel that does the trick for a gal with a lengthy frame.
With the right boyfriend jeans, you easily achieve having a sexy, perky or elegant look. Cuffed ones are really good selections. You can show a bit of skin, or wear them with sporty sneakers. Mary janes or kitten heels are dressier shoe options to go with your boyfriend pants. Whether it’s the modern look, the sweet, eclectic, cool or hot look, your boyfriend pants along with the right complements gives it to you.
It could be so much of a bummer to find clothes that blend well with a tall woman’s physique. Finding an affordable long torso swimwear, for instance, can send a lanky female to a fit of depression. The search can get so tricky. The same thing goes for looking for a maxi dress or maternity pants that aptly reaches down to her ankles. So thank god, there are boyfriend pants- fashion that goes with height.
Tall women with their long legs don’t need to worry about their cuffed boyfriend pants cutting on their calves. It normally would make an average woman look boyish and shorter, but that won’t be a problem with taller femmes. Even with a simple white t-shirt and boyfriend jeans that fit perfectly, tall women have that sexy look guys find alluring.
Boyfriend pants do the balancing to a tall woman’s frame. Their cut makes them more high rise than ordinary jeans. Added with an inch or two to the pant’s rise evens out the look with her long torso.
Boyfriend pants are perfect for the fall season. But then again, it’s a flexible all a rounder if you know how to get creative. For a fashionista who prides herself on being up- to – date, or even foreseeing fashion before it comes, boyfriend jeans is a basic garment that answers a lot of her fashion woes. After all, fitted jeans do wonders in transforming your look, paired with the right top and shoes.
So for tall women, out with baggy jeans that aggravates their figure liability. Nor do they have to buy and wear men’s jeans that suit well with their height. There’s boyfriend pants, the trend that brings out the best in a tall woman’s frame. Buy a good pair of boyfriend pants matched with the right apparels and you’ll see it’s worth it.
Rupert Bowling asked:
For me, corduroy is worn by relaxed people. It is not a stiff, smart fabric, but looks laid back. If I meet some one in corduroy, then my first assumption is that they are "country types", although now a days that is probably as often wrong as it is right!
First question of course is "what is the occasion?"
Lets look at some of the more frequent places you might find someone wearing a corduroy suit. The Races. This is a country event, and the often quiet colours that a cord suit comes in can be very appropriate. Chatsworth game fair would be another ideal venue. It is the sort of place country people go for a day out, meet friends and see some amazing cross country jumping (Horses of course). Corduroy will blend in there, and you will probably find plenty of people wearing Barbour Jackets as well. These often are trimmed with cord, in Navy or brown. A casual Office. In the UK, if I dare say it, this would be a Council Office. As there is so little threat of job loss, the dress code has clearly become more casual over the years. Smart cord fits nicely, and a corduroy suit can easily be split, the jacket being used with a different pair of trousers, and the trousers of course worn separately.
The Psychiatrists.
I am told that a corduroy suit is good for a psychiatrist to wear. Apparently it is non threatening, and so the client is made to feel more relaxed, and trusting.
In Court as the accused.
Well, why not. If you are trying to defuse any bad feeling the Judge might have, corduroy should work well. Not something I have tried myself!
Where would you not wear one?
Well, a number of occasions spring to mind.
A wedding. Unless you want to offend the bride.
As a lawyer. That would give me no confidence!
A job interview. For these occasions I would recommend something a bit "sharper". Something that stays looking good all day, regardless of how you feel inside.
For recommendations on that, well, I will have to write another article.

Sarah Hathorn asked:
The department stores are beginning to stock their floors with the latest fall fashions and trends. Do you ever go shopping for a few new items to modernize your look and come home empty handed, feeling overwhelmed? Every professional woman needs to understand how to look at the newest trends, and decide what they want to incorporate in order to look contemporary and age appropriate. When you update your look to include a few modern styles, it conveys to the working world that you care about your image, stay abreast of fashion and want to look powerful, but chic. For years, as a Store Manager for Macy's, I used to see women come into the store and aimlessly become frustrated and confused, looking for a few fun pieces and not knowing where to spend their hard-earned dollars. In this article I will share with you my twelve "must-have's," which will help you remain focused and budget-conscious while shopping to pick up a few trendy pieces to update your closet basics. Get ready! Here's my personal trend shopping list for every woman who wants a classic-stylish look for fall.
1). Suits: Retro-Style
This season we are seeing a return of the retro power suit. If you need a new suit this fall for work or dress, look for a skirted suit or a pantsuit with a straight and narrow look, a timeless style. The season's new fabrics will be woolen tweeds, leopard prints and boiled-knits. You will also find more detailing on jackets like military-inspired epaulets. If you are shopping for an evening suit, menswear styles for women return this season with tuxedo suits perfect for any black tie affair.
2). Dresses: Every Woman Needs One
The dress returns and goes beyond last season's big sheath and shift trend. This fall the designers are creating flourishing floral prints, frilly silhouettes, tailored sheaths, hourglass silhouettes, ladylike shirtdresses, and flirty Bohemian styles. For evening dresses, sophisticated elegance is seen in feminine lace cocktail designs, vibrant-colored velvets replacing the dark colors of last winter, and sweeping silk gowns in gold taffeta. Want to look slimmer? Dresses in any style are key items for every woman, designed to show her shapely legs, a smaller area of the body - creating a slimmer silhouette. Every modern woman should own a few dresses for work and play.
3). Skirts: Slim or Full
This season we see full, flirty skirts, which will be the latest trend. These will be in A-line or dirndl styles, in graphic prints, lace, floral, metallic or solids with great detailing. These fuller skirts look best on everyone when they are hemmed to hit you at mid-knee. With a fuller skirt it is key to balance the proportion with a more fitted top. These skirts can transition to a business casual day at the office when you pair them with a placket-front blouse or a classic twin set. Pencil and straight skirts continue to reign this season for that classic-elegant look. From all my years in the retail fashion and image consulting business, I haven't found a woman yet who doesn't look great in one of these four skirt styles. Try on a few styles and see which ones look best on you.
4). The Modern Classic White Shirt
I'm so delighted that this trend continues as I coach my clients that this is the one item that every woman needs on her wardrobe essential list. This season look for an updated style. It can have ruffles for a feminine look, three-quarter lantern sleeves for a more dramatic look, princess seams running through the silhouette creating a slimming look, or an updated shirttail that you choose to let hang over your pants for a more modern twist on an old classic item. I love my white shirts and I own several of them. I wear my new updated styles with jeans on a fall day, with my black suit for a more powerful look, or with suede or corduroy pants for that country chic style. If you find a few styles you like, stock up on these great basics to round out your wardrobe.
5). Feminine & Sexy Blouses
Ultra feminine and girly blouses continue to come in exquisite fabrics with frills, ruffles or pintucks. Reinvented lace blouses are the chicest, sexiest items to own for fall. The lace top has a sexy hint of peek-a-boo to add a bit of drama to any ensemble. Everyone needs a few of these great dressy blouses when a dressier style is needed for an event. Pair these blouses with black pants or a neutral-toned pencil/straight skirt for an elegant and sophisticated, yet feminine look. These new tops are great to wear on date night coordinated with a pair of indigo premium denim pants and dressy sandals or stilettos.
6). Pants: Slim to The New Wider Leg
Depending on your shape, this season you have a lot of choices. Slim leg styles continue and are best when worn with floaty-style tops. The tailored straight leg trouser is a great classic style that everyone can wear - but be daring and try one in a new menswear pinstripe or updated tweed. The new wider leg trouser is the hot item in pants this season. Last season we saw the barely wide leg and now it goes more dramatic. This wider-leg version looks perfect on a woman with an inverted triangle shape or boyish hips.
7). Chic Coats
Every woman I know needs at least one statement coat in her closet. It doesn't have to be a heavy wool coat if you live out west or in the south; it could be a trench coat or a lightweight wool style. Coats also keep you stylish when you are out in the rain or snow. Look for a fun, statement coat like an updated trench coat with a military influence, the new oval silhouette, the quilted coat, a leather biker style, a pea coat, a cape, or a coat with an exaggerated architectural collar. There are some great new modern styles this year to layer up and keep you toasty warm no matter where you live.
8). Stylish Sweaters
Cardigans remain strong this year and I personally love them for great layering. Have you ever noticed that something magical happens when you add a great cardigan sweater over a typical pair of dress trousers or jeans with a tailored blouse? Instantly you look more polished and professional. I think these are a great alternative to jackets in a business casual work environment or on casual Fridays. This season you will see the cardigan in chunky knits, layered with a belt. Cabled sweaters will also be big this fall. Dressier sweaters will be embellished with crystal beads, and metallic threads for a more luxurious feel. Look for some great colors, and add something really comfortable and cozy to your wardrobe.
9). Statement Jewelry
This season jewelry is bold and elegant. Shop for crystal cuffs, architectural-shaped necklaces, large retro hoop earrings, and multi-strand necklaces of beads or pearls. If you aren't comfortable wearing the large artsy modern necklaces, and you have a more conservative style, add a pair of small wide hoop earrings or long multiple strands of pearls, like Coco Channel, to your collection.
10). Newest, Hottest, Latest Shoes & Boots
Do you have a shoe fetish? Well, this season you can have your pick of all types of shoes from flats to sky-high heels. The hot trends are contrast-toe tips, cone and/or banana heels, wide straps, and perforation detailing. In boots, ankle boots return with updated buckles and zippers, which give them an alluring feel. These are great to wear with work trousers, or if you are young, wear them with colored tights under dresses and skirts. High heel pumps and stilettos are still timeless classics for those dressier occasions. If you're a bit more dramatic, you can express your style with some edgier options with architectural accents like cutouts and trendy heels. The flat continues to be a basic to be worn with jeans.
11). The It-Bag
Medium-sized bags are the newest trend in handbags this season. Shop for the latest styles like a boho-style bag with suede and fringe detailing, a classic clutch, or go for that country casual feel with a satchel made out of alligator or suede. The newest style for fall is the top frame bag which is a structured handbag made out of crocodile leather with a short handle. It's a great new item to add to your essentials because it is a classic, tailored bag.
12). Accent Pieces
Belts and scarves are great accent pieces that can give your outfits a lot of style. This season belts are both narrow and wide. Use one to help you create the hint of a waistline, unless you have a prominent tummy area. If you do not have a waistline, don't emphasize it. If you are curvy or triangle-shaped, use this belt as an accent to show off your curves. Short, graphic scarves return this season. Use beautiful scarves to add some color up by your face and divert the to give attention upward and away from your problem areas.
Keeping up with trends and incorporating them into your seasonal wardrobe is fun, once you understand what they are. Oftentimes, when clients feel they look dowdy or matronly, it's because they are not incorporating a few modern touches into their ensembles. If you are on a budget for fall, find three or four of these "must-have's" and let them work to create an updated, stylish look for your business wardrobe.

This Year has countless types of different types of jeans that may coax you to go on a shopping spree. Of course, nothing comes ahead of buying some suitable types of jeans in order to enhance the appearance of your wardrobe. But buying jeans doesn't require your emotional impulses galore, rather it needs some careful calculations to come up with the best pick and I’m here to help you decide which pair is best for you. Definitely, your body type plays a greater role in deciding which jeans are compatible with your 'genes,' literally.
Which pair of jeans are you wearing right now? Is it a pair of skinny jeans which have made a remarkable comeback or the ultra casual cropped jeans which brings your mood into the right tone for casual late evening walks and parties? Is it a pair of all time hit baggy jeans which soothes your soul with its comfortableness?
Buying jeans like everything else is done with a fixed set of norms and rules. Even wearing jeans is no exception. Though mostly used for the casual purposes, wearing a pair of jeans artfully is no less demanding. Like any other fashion apparel, women’s jeans need proper and careful planning before you put them on. There has to be a right and proportionate combination of other apparel such as a Sinful shirt, possibly an Affliction hoodie, a peace necklace, or several other fashion accessory options to consider in creating the perfect outfit. After all, each option has its own set of rules. As the jeans vary in their shapes, sizes and designs, you need to be careful while choosing the best matching things worn with them. Only the right accessory and tops can enhance your fashion quotient and can make you more noticeable than anyone.
More clearly, you have to know the purpose behind why you are wearing a particular type of jeans. Let’s have a look on how to wear these various types of jeans so that you stay on trend, not behind them, and feel like a million dollars with spending a fortune.
Skin-Fit Jeans: Probably the most popular type of jeans. I haven't met any women who don't have a good collection of these skin-fit jeans. I think it looks a bit odd when I see woman with bigger hips forcefully slide themselves into such jeans so it is important to be honest in accessing your body type. I feel that these skin-tight jeans are most suitable for skinny or slightly fuller woman. It is best used to shape up the unshaped hips. Women with shorter legs find it more flattering when they wear the boot-cut version of these jeans as it helps make the legs look longer.
Black, deep blue and grayish shades are the most magical colors these jeans can be found in. Thus it becomes necessary to wear tops of lighter shades to make a sober combination. I prefer not to wear a tank top with these jeans.
For shorter women, high heels become a must to pair with skin-tight jeans. However, a taller woman can feel content with pumps, boots, and flats. These jeans look great with a plain looking black leather belt.
Baggy Jeans: My personal favorite! If you want to achieve relaxation, nothing can be better than wearing baggy jeans. People rate them as the best jeans as far as combining style with comfort. The best part of baggy jeans is they are equally suitable for all types of bodies.
While selecting a top, my advice is to make it a tighter one when combined with baggy jeans. Baggy jeans might let you feel a bit boyish and that is why a tighter t-shirt or a tank top may get you back your femininity and enhance your shape. You can also wear it with a Be Envied Affliction Designer Jacket.
Wearing baggy jeans with designer belts and boots can be flattering for slim and athletic body shape. It makes them look a bit bulkier. Though wearing baggy jeans, any type of footwear can work. In my opinion, it is best to not wear them with pumps. Some women combine them sandals or flip flops too and this can be an excellent way to express your fashion personality.
“Boyfriend” Jeans Featured above by True Religion: Fashion magazines often show celebrities wearing guy jeans and I used to love wearing jeans I borrowed from my boyfriend. Companies like True Religion now target women with this type of product so that you don’t have to steal them from the guy in your life anymore.
Faded and mildly ripped boyfriend jeans are the rage these days. The older a boyfriend jeans looks, the sexier it makes you look. Though they are naturally loose fitting jeans, several options exist to flatter your shape so there is no doubt that you are a woman! Athletic women with muscular legs and some curves, boyfriend jeans are a perfect fashion tip. My recommendation is to select straight-legged jeans. In terms of tops, a white tends to be a good color to wear with these jeans. I might also suggest metallic, red, or pink tees as well. Wearing boyfriend jeans with high heels is best for shorter women. However, this combination is fine for all women with boots and sandals also being good options.
Cropped Jeans: These are best suited to wear when you plan to attend casual parties in the evening. These jeans are most flattering and the stretchable denim used makes them utterly comfortable. The striking thing about cropped jeans is that these can be found in both the versions we just concluded talking about in this article. Thus, you can have cropped baggy or cropped skin-tight jeans too. Cropped jeans versatility makes them fashion apparel you can wear during any season.
As they are gaining popularity as one of the most sought after casual party wear, you need to pair it with a sexy knee high boot, slouch boots, or gladiators for best look. However, if you love to wear skin-tight cropped jeans, I suggest wearing high heels if you are shorter in height. On the other hand if you are tall, try wearing them with sandals. It is important to understand your baggy crop must hang just above the ankles. I recommend choosing cropped jeans with lighter shades and pair them with some trendy Be Envied Katydid Tops or a new Affliction striped tee. If you like the dark shades, then grab the deep blue one and wear an olive, pink, or light red top with it.
Flared Jeans: If you read celebrity fashion magazines, you will see this type of jeans everywhere. If you hope to be on trend and you are tall, this is jean type is a must. Shorter, thin women should probably avoid this type of jeans as it will not flatter your body type. Curvaceous women will also love the look of these jeans. Fashion always seems to come around again and these jeans were very popular in the 70’s.
To fit the look of the 70’s, I suggest wearing them with leather jackets and they look great with shirts that have a high neck. Fashion accessories to wear with these jeans include large metallic Envied earrings. As is the case with the other jean options, heels and boots tend to work best.
Hipster Jeans: These are the most flexible fashion option for women of all shapes and sizes as they are designed to fit everyone. If you aren’t as thin as you used to be, I suggest wearing hipster jeans with a Be Envied designer belt because it will decrease the perception of your waist size – especially if you select one with a large metal buckle. Hipster jeans with the most appropriate fashion accessories will do an excellent job of hiding any additional holiday weight gain. Try out a hipster this season with metallic tank tops or t-shirts with floral prints – I guarantee you will look fabulous. Wearing heels, stilettos to be specific, is the most common footwear with hipster jeans but boots or sandals can be great as well.

Another recent activity in the evolution of men's t-shirts is the emergence of the metallic silk blend variety. These shirts feel silky smooth against the skin and are usually worn loose and tucked under shorts or loose pants with a bright silk belt.

Sneaker shoes are also perfect match for your child in activities like basket ball, or other sports activities.
Support. Every good athletic shoe has support. It should cradle the foot and make it feel as if every step is among leisure. Support is very important, especially if you're involved in a lot walking or running. In either of these instances, your feet really take a pounding on the pavement. Athletic shoes that feature support are noticeable immediately during wear.
The Brand designer line recognized this desire in this particular look so came out with the Brand boyfriend jeans. Only they are done so perfectly that the holes are not going to frayed beyond the point to which they are made .The jeans are distressed throughout and have the worn look to them. They have the straight leg so if it's the worn look you are after here is the perfect pair of jeans for you.
Short Pants: commonly used on Sunday picnics, summer holidays or any leisurely outdoor activity. It goes well with t-shirts, polo shirts, and short sleeve shirts. Fabric can be any of cotton, polyrayon, linen, or denim. (alert! Synthetic fabrics in short pants are out) Although pants is constantly in a "must-wear" status, the style variations of this piece has been quite limited up until recent decades when men's fashion started to claim and gain the spotlight
Skinny jeans for men is an awful trend. The world of fashion is fast moving and that is why we try to always be up to date. After all, people tend to give importance to their stylish and hip look. However, unfortunately sometimes we do not succeed. Customized jeans in skinny cut may look absolutely hot worn by women, but are embarrassing on men.

Mick Jagger from The Rolling Stones is the best example of such. However, these customized jeans worn by small guys with well-trained legs make an absolute style breaker! So guys, return to your good-old boot-cut jeans, please!
Men's pants worn by women are however an absolute top. Boyfriend look is besides extremely comfortable and creates a sexy relaxed outfit.

Everything that doesn't look too sophisticated is possible! Especially successful are the combinations of made to measure jeans outfits with another top fashionable trend – knit wear. Wool pullovers or XXL-cardigans not only make warm, but also present the must-haves for cold winter or chilly spring days. Chucks, DocMartens or flip-flops and flat sandals complete the outfit.
Also numerous celebrities prefer to wear these comfortable jeans, like trend-setters Agyness Deyn combining them with wide shirts and simple-looking shorts, or singer and songwriter Lily Allen, who wears the boyfriend-style in a classical way: torn wide-leg jeans with a simple tank top.
And when your boyfriend has nothing against it, you can surely borrow one or two clothes pieces from his wardrobe. When he sees his favorite shirt on his own girlfriend, he will also become the fan of trendy boyfriend look!
