Celebrity Style Mashup: Cary Grant and Robert Downey Jr. in Fashion Culture

Nov 10, 2009 by Pam Gaulin | 0 Comments

A strong man can sweep you off your feet, and onto the movie screen. Both Cary Grant and Robert Downey, Jr. have strong male undercurrents that invite movie goers to share some on-screen intimacy. These actors have both made an impact in the fashion and style choices of their fellow iron men. Cary Grant set the bar, and Robert Downey, Jr. continues to re-set his own bar, and does so again in the 2009 Sherlock Holmes.

Cary Grant

Suit-wearing men can strive to look half as good as Cary Grant on a bad day while wearing a suit. According to Cary Grant, his father used to say, ''Let them see you and not the suit. That should be secondary." He certainly took that to heart because in every scene in every one of his movies, he looks dapper. Being a trained acrobat helped him develop a physique that lent itself to wearing well-tailored clothing.

A casual look for Grant still looked dashing, complete with pleated pants, unbuttoned white dress shirt and a plain sweater. One key to Grant's fashion success was that he did not wear a lot of patterns, and often wore plain or understated ties. Even a pair of pajamas looked strikingly fashionable on the endlessly charming Cary Grant.

Robert Downey Jr.

Robert Downey, Jr., who has been down and back, offers hope that any man can pick himself up again, dust himself off, like Charlie Chaplin, and excel as an immersive actor. Robert Downey Jr. can pull off wearing a monochromatic suit, similar to Cary Grant.

From his 1980s white suits and style trends set in the movie Less Than Zero to his role as Sherlock Holmes, Robert Downey, Jr. appears comfortable no matter what his role. He appears equally comfortable wearing a suit made of iron or a pair of wool trousers to play Sherlock Holmes.

Celebrity Style Mashup: Bewitching Styles of Selena Gomez and Alyson Hannigan in Fashion Culture

Nov 3, 2009 by Pam Gaulin | 0 Comments

Fall under the spell of two TV witches, Selena Gomez and Alyson Hannigan. Both bewitching beauties combine a an aura of innocence with worldly knowledge of hip fashion.

Selena Gomez
Perky Selena Gomez plays Alex Russo on The Wizards of Waverly Place. Witches, good and bad have had a long history in the world of Disney. This particular teen witch dresses to please her real audience. She wears layers of colorful t-shirts, with or without a hoodie.

A pair of high-top sneakers and jeans are all the tricks she uses to conjure up a workable style. For a true Selena Gomez, style, add an accessory to your hands or arms. Arm warmers or a bandanna or scarf wrapped around one wrist are signature fashion styles of Selena Gomez, an actress with a ginormous energy. She can also be seen wearing one eye-catching piece of jewelry at a time, including an eye-catching ring or a colorful watch.

Alyson Hannigan
Before she was a fashion-obsessed shoe fanatic on How I Met Your Mother, Alyson Hannigan was a teenage witch. In her early years on Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Alyson Hannigan's style drew upon both every bright color under the sun, similar to the happy rainbow fashion palette of Selena Gomez. She actually wore a rainbow sweater in "I Only Have Eyes For You."

As her character's power grew stronger, her clothes drew darker, much to the chagrin of fashion-loving Alyson Hannigan fans. She wore the cliched witch black, leaving little room for creative dress.

With How I Met Your Mother, Alyson Hannigan once again explored the brighter side of fashion. As a kindergarten teacher, Lily overdresses for the part, and overspends as well. She can't resist bright designer tops and dresses or a pair of stylish shoes.

From teen witch to a witch all-grown up, the style of these gals is spellbinding.

Wear This, Not That: Boyfriend Lounge Wear is Out! in Fashion Culture

Nov 3, 2009 by Pam Gaulin | 0 Comments

Sunshine Colors, Not Muted
Add a little sunshine to your life with a burst of citrus yellow.
Yellow is not for the timid or fashion weary, but even a dash of citrus
yellow in your wardrobe will brighten a gloomy Monday morning or hump
day commute. A silk scarf with hints of yellow, a citrus yellow
handbag, or a citrus yellow shirt peering though an unbuttoned white
cardigan will delight all who spot you. (Which will be everyone you
pass.)

Hybrids, Not Clunkers
Tread lightly with a pair of hybrid flats.
Trade in clunky low-heeled shoes and last season's flats for a pair of
shoes that combines the soft comfort of a flat and an ankle boot with
the strength of a gladiator style sandal. Flats can be stylish, and
demand as much attention as the next shoe.

Chic Flannel Lounge Wear
Give him back his extra-large t-shirt or his flannel PJ's and get your
own, please. Flannel lounge wear made for women can be feminine in
color and in design, with prints that include cats or floral prints.

Quilted not Puffy
Coats, not toilet paper. Toilet paper can be both. For style in an instant, grab a quilted winter coat
in the morning, and you can be warm and stylish. A quilted coat has
subtle threading, and because of the vertical movements of the lines on
the quilts, the eye is drawn all over the coat, without resting on any
one spot. This visual trick of quilting flatters any figure

Tie Me Up Tie Me Down
Laces are not just just for nighttime. Laced boots, laced ankle boots,
laced pumps and any other shoe which can be adorned with faux or real
laces is primed and ready for some tie me up, tie me down action.
Lacing on shoes, when it exceeds a certain length is instantly
provocative.
