Right: Red Dot Jackie Jersey Waterfall Vest, Splendid Supima 2x1 tank,Levi's 5225 Capri, Converse Chuck Taylor All Star Slip, Fossil Camille Bucket bag, Motif 56 Ruth belt

When the occasion calls for something effortlessly laidback and stylish, we love easy-to-throw on classics in soft and drapey fabrics. Take these two stylists picks for example; these casual ensembles perfectly sum up what summer fashion is all about--fuss-free yet fashionable.

The first outfit is a lovely take on modern bohemian, incorporating a relaxed wideleg pant with a lightweight and sexy cami. The stunning tribal necklace gives this look an on-trend feel, while a crochet crossbody bag gives the look a bit of hippie style.

For a busy day of sightseeing, the second ensemble is casual, but still polished and feminine. A pair of comfy capris, classic Chuck Taylor® sneakers, a breezy vest and an essential cotton tank top all adds up to a cute go-anywhere, do-anything look.

levis, jeans, denim, fit, style, cut, size, wash

Since 1873, the Levi’s brand has been celebrating the pioneering spirit. A pair of Levi’s jeans is a symbol of striking out for new territory and forging a better way of life. They're the original denim jeans, worn by the hard-working folks who built the country. But just like those hard working folks, the brand hasn't rested on its laurels.

Where the Levi’s brand was once about taming one frontier, it's evolved to be about taming any frontier. These days, the Levi’s brand is committed to everybody who's committed to building something better. That means a fit that's right for everyone from farmers to fashionistas – from the classic straight fit to the sleek skinny fit.

What Not to Wear: Dressing for Easter Sunday

Have you picked out your Easter bonnet yet? Okay. Quit laughing. I know you’re too old to wear one of those. Yet, you probably already are starting to fret over what you’ll wear on Easter Sunday. Don’t worry. Your feelings are natural. Easter elicits one of the biggest turnouts at church, almost like a fashion show.

To say that people try to dress their best on Easter Sunday is an understatement. Most people will pull out their best duds whether it’s a pair of Levis or a three-piece suit. Sometimes it’s a hit. Other times it’s a miss. So what are the rules? What shouldn’t you wear on Easter Sunday?

The rules for Easter Sunday are simple. You should dress in clothing that suits your pocket book, crowd and you. Here’s what I mean. Don’t wear:

  • Expensive clothing you’ll be paying off for the next two years. Remember, your reason for attending an Easter Sunday service is spiritual – not fleshly. So you don’t have to treat it like a fashion show.
  • Don’t over dress for your crowd. If you attend a church where people dress casually, you’ll stand out like a beacon in a couture dress and big hat. Keep it simple and focus more on attending service with a clean heart.
  • Select Easter colors that flatter you. Let’s face it. Everyone doesn’t look good in pink or pastels. So, there’s nothing wrong with wearing navy blue if it makes you look good. Also, if you’re not used to wearing dresses, don’t do it on Easter. Go for a pants suit or even a skirt . It’ll help you be more comfortable and attentive during service.

These three tidbits are what you need to know about dressing for success on Easter Sunday. Just remember the day really isn’t about clothes.

Importance of Clothing in Film: Twilight

Twilight, the wildly popular vampire teen romance novel, comes to the big screen as one of the most anticipated films of the year. Like all vampire stories, Twilight is absolutely about beauty, which means fashion matters whether you want to look like Edward, everyone’s dreamy, undead boyfriend, or Bella, the lucky girl he falls in love with.

Because so much of Twilight takes place in high school, costume designer Wendy Chuck was sure to use the brands teens crave, featuring things like Levi’s , Guess, Miss Sixty and G-star, while also mixing vintage pieces with new looks. Chuck has also worked hard to make sure that the wardrobe for the vampires enhances their otherworldly beauty, relying on blues and grays to give the film a consistently dark look.

But make no mistake, these vampires aren’t Goths. Here the undead go for classic tailoring with colors and silhouettes that, while modern, also wouldn’t be out of place fifty years ago.

All the vampires in the world of Twilight aren’t as pleasant as pin-up boy Edward Cullen. This group of nomad vampires takes on an edgier look, while still avoiding vampire clichés of velvet and black. Earth tones and an edgier, mismatched look define the style of the nomad vampires, but their clothes are still simple.

For Bella, Edward’s mortal love, Chuck made sure to include touches of delicacy to her teen wardrobe, adding flowered embroidery and other feminine motifs to her costumes. Like the vampires in Twilight, Bella’s look is about letting her natural beauty shine through. Clothes in the world of this film are used to accentuate beauty, not create it.

Unlike many film looks, getting Twilight style for yourself is easy, because of the number of affordable, off-the-rack pieces that went into the design concept. That said, Edward has a few custom pieces and does dress up for Bella’s prom, showing up in a Gucci jacket. Luckily, with Chuck’s sense of style and the fantastic world of Twilight as a guide, you don’t have to live forever to figure out how to dress fabulously.
