How to Style Crop Tops This Season

Womens Purses & Womens Clothes Online

Ahh crop tops – that dreaded trend from the nineties coming back to haunt us… but this season sees a new set of rules when it comes to styling crop tops in 2014, that are here to guide us when trying out the tricky trend. There are countless styles of crop tops to choose from this spring, the easiest way to search all the designs is to head to the Home of Fashion website; the best place to discover womens clothing online, shoes, bags and Womens Purses.

One of the main rules to remember is: if tops are getting shorter, then waists are getting higher. To avoid the Britney Spears look, team a crop top with a pair of high-waisted jeans or pencil skirts - the modern crop top trend is about showing off your waist, not your stomach. An even subtler way of sporting a crop is to pop on under a pair of dungarees; a long sleeve crop top under a pair of long length dungarees is a subtle way to flash the flesh – just a small amount of skin seen from the side or your outfit offers a youthful yet demure look.

A cropped top can even be stylishly incorporated into a formal outfit. If worn underneath a long blazer and teamed with high tailored trousers with just a slither of skin showing, the result is chic and fashionable. Another idea is to throw a silk shirt or blouse over a crop top, this is ideal if the thought of flashing some skin makes you feel too exposed. Worn open with a pair of denim cut-offs on a sunny day is great for chilling in a park and sunbathing.

Whatever your style and occasion, there’s sure to be a crop top inspired ensemble to suit you this season. Best get searching through all the Womens Clothes Online to find your perfect style… oh and get started on the stomach crunches!

SS14 Shoe Trend: Chunky Shapes

All the cool kids are shunning elegant, feminine shoe styles for a bigger and badder shoe shape this season. Granted sleek and pointy styles and dainty ballet shoes still look pretty, but if you want to be one step ahead of fashion then clumpy shoes are leading the way for spring summer. But what are the key styles to be rocking the new chunky on-season shapes? We take a look at the essential Designer Shoes UK to invest in this season.

Boots

Biker boots are perfect for adding a rebellious touch to your ankle boot collection, load them up with chunky straps and studs for a badass style. Add a contrast to a feminine outfit by teaming the edgy boots with a floral frock, or go for a grunge look with a maxi skirt, checked shirt and leather jacket. Biker boots will add a tough edge to almost any outfit, making them a trusty yet cool summer shoe staple.

Shoes

Block heels and orthopaedic style soles will stomp you all the way into new season. These styles may not be pretty but they sure as hell are fierce. Even timeless styles, such as Oxford lace-ups and preppy loafers, have all grown a chunky sole for spring/summer, meaning even if you’re a fan of a classic shoe, there’s a way to sport a bulky shoe this season.
 

Sandals

Gladiators and flip-flops? So last year. Chunky pool sliders and minimal blocky designs are the way forward for holiday shoes. Giving off a utilitarian and sporty feel, wearing this new sandal shape will ensure you stay bang on trend by the pool side. Sound too masculine? The shape may be bulky but the designs are still feminine, choose from studded soles and leopard print straps for a girly take on the trend.

3 Ways To Update Your Work-Wear This Season

Give your work-wear wardrobe a new season update by introducing fresh, new Designer Womens Clothing into your style repertoire. There are three simple and easy ways to incorporate on-trend pieces into the office this spring, whilst staying formal friendly.

Invest in a new shirt

A chic white shirt is a style staple for formal and even casual occasions. Oversized masculine styles were favoured over feminine blouses this season at the Paul Smith, Nina Ricci and Margaret Howell SS14 shows; team with leather trousers to balance out the voluminous shape, or go for full on preppy with classic loafers. Off-duty simply pair with skinny jeans and biker boots for a cool and casual style. For a feminine take on the look, try a crisp white shirt dress worn with ballet pumps or knee high boots.

Introduce Colour

Who said a work wardrobe had to be dull? Introduce a splash of colour into your work attire and mix formal with fun Bright and bold shades hint at a daring and creative side, but remember to keep shapes simple and chic to show you still mean business. The J Crew and Yohji Yamamoto SS14 shows both offered shift and shirt dresses in tangerine hues, perfect for freshening up stuffy boardrooms.
