How to Wear Stripes With Hips

Arianne Suggs March 5, 2015March 5, 2015Leave a Comment

Having a vixen physique, you know the 36-24-36 types hip hop artists and rock stars have been crooning about for decades will never be a bad thing. Nevertheless, being shaped like Jessica Rabbit can be a challenge when wearing certain styles. Most of us do not want to look bigger than our natural size, so then how can stripes be rocked without adding girth to the hip area?

The key is which way the stripes are flowing on the garment, skirt or dress. Look slimmer by wearing pieces that have diagonal or vertical stripes. Instead of seeing lines that emphasis the widest part of your body, stripes that do not run horizontally will create an elongating effect.

Arianne SuggsUpdated on March 4, 2015March 4, 2015Leave a Comment

Oh lord we need a fan! Fine as can be and he is wearing Balmain…someone please pinch us this must be a dream. Oh but it isn’t, model Dudley O’Shaughnessy (remember the cutie from the Rihanna music video) modeled Balmain’s Spring 2015 collection that included killer structured pieces with an exotic, tribal and aztec feel. The entire collection is one of the freshest, coolest and exclusive fashions that we have ever seen, every piece is a wow piece all on its own. There is nothing quiet about these trendy designs but we love Dudley…we mean the clothes, we love the clothes. 🙂

This isn’t Dudley but just look at this jacket, we had to include it because we just felt it was magnificent. True talent was behind a piece like this, the design and execution is flawless.

Ahem…what do you think of Mr. Dudley modeling some Balmain? Join the discussion on our Facebook, Instagram, Tumblr or tweet us @1966magazine.

2015 Spring/Summer Menswear Trend: Stripes

Arianne SuggsUpdated on March 4, 2015March 4, 2015Leave a Comment

It’s official…stripes are the way to go this upcoming spring and summer. We spotted this trend numerous times in the form of jackets, pants, tops and hoodies. The great thing about stripes is that it can fit a wide range of tastes and preferences. If your guy is shy with his couture a nice tailored striped jacket or shirt is perfect to add some flair to his ensemble. Nevertheless, if he is boisterous with his fashion choices he can up the ante with bold colors and exaggerated fits.

This trend is not just for the boys…it looks just as stylish on us girls as well.
