A Woman's Fashion: Tops, Part I
Think tops for women are just one category of clothes? Wrong! In fact, fashion tops for women come in a variety of styles. This is obvious to the fashion designers of the world, but perhaps less so to the rest of us. Without further ado then, Beverly Lane brings you the top seven tops from the world of women’s fashion:
#1 A woman’s fashion: The strapless top
Strapless tops are simple but effective. Usually reserved for nighttime or daytime formal wear, the strapless top is a great choice for the warmer months when you won’t miss the extra material. Go for a simple one-color look with a body-hugging shape for maximum impact.
#2 A woman’s fashion: The one shoulder top
The asymmetrical look really gives one shoulder tops a quirky, fun sensibility. The one shoulder top is a great choice for a fun, lighthearted outing like a Sunday in the park or a daytime concert or music festival. Some stripes or a bold print will complete the look.
#3 A woman’s fashion: Vests and camis
Vests and camis are a bankable favorite when you want a cute look for summer, say for a day at the beach. They can look ultra-girly with a loose fit and a flowery print, or more sleek, modern and athletic with a body-hugging fit and stripes.
#4 A woman’s fashion: The T-shirt
What can you say about the T-shirt that hasn’t been said a million times before? Not much! Except that they’re a casual tops fashion classic on par with the mighty blue jeans. Grab a graphic print for a fun look, or opt for a looser fit and some frills for more of a pretty/girly look. Either way you’ll look great.
#5 A woman’s fashion: The tunic top
Tunics are so versatile, they’re always a safe bet if you’re not sure how formal you want to be. Perfect for a date or a night out with the girls, they also combine really well with almost any accessories. We like the look of a close-fitting tunic in a colorful fabric with some chunky jewelry, but try your own ideas – you’ll find it’s pretty hard to go wrong!
#6 A woman’s fashion: Shirts and blouses
Shirts and blouses are, of course, a wardrobe staple, especially for work wear and smart casual and formal ensembles. You can never have too many of these tops! Keep a couple in basic black and flat white, and some with a colorful pattern or print too.
#7 A woman’s fashion: The long sleeved top
Long sleeved t-shirts and tops are perfect for those transition months of the year when you need the extra warmth of a sleeve. They’re also great under a jacket for when the temperature really drops. Don’t forget that the long sleeved top category includes the hoodie, which is perfect for a comfortable, casual occasion like a mid-week trip to the movies, and the cardigan, which works so well for long nights in. It’s always handy to have a comfy long sleeved top on hand for when you need to run to the store in the morning for bread and milk as well!
From Goddiva's Browsers to Yours: the Top 10 Fashion Websites
We love search engines, but they run on algorithms, not creative juices. It’s never okay to wear a white tie with a frilled shirt, but try asking a search engine this, and it would only send you to sites that will sell you a frilled shirt or a tie, if not both. This is where Goddiva’s Top 10 Fashion Websites enters the picture. We love fashion, that’s a given, but we also have the fashion chops to back this liking with. We chose our top ten sites based on our working knowledge of what works and what doesn’t. We look for depth and breadth and diversity. We look for sites that know the fashion landscape, sites with that je ne sais quoi that makes them stand out from the million and one other websites online.
1. www.style.com
This site is the online home of Vogue – and rightly so. After all, Style.com is a fashion powerhouse. With over 58,000 runway looks to check out, you can choose to do your browsing by trend, season, or designer. You can keep yourself abreast with the latest in fashion, click through Vogue’s photos, get the latest dibs on parties, people, and what the gorgeous people are wearing, or share your opinion in fashion forums. Style.com is what every store claims it is but actually isn’t – a one-stop shop for the fashionable and stylish. It’s so complete and up-to-date it has made many fashion magazines obsolete.
2. fashionplanet.worldofsl.com
This site is a fashion magazine – only better. It’s accessible online, is updated regularly, and covers everything that’s hottest and latest in the industry, from trends to collections, from personalities to lifestyles around the world.
3. www.dailyfashion.com
This fashion community of “real girls” (and by real, we take it this is no place for the irritatingly stunning and skinny) is where you can read about fashion trends, finds, do’s and don’ts, and advice from style experts. You can also log on to this site for daily fashion tips or check out what girls around the world have to say style-wise.
4. www.askmen.com/fashion/index.html
Real men are not scared of fashion and this site is perfect proof of that. AskMen.com’s trends, tips, and commentaries empower males the whole world over to flex their style muscles and show the world it’s not queer to be trendy – pun intended, of course.
5. lifestyle.msn.com/BeautyandFashion
MSN’s fashion section offers excellent updates, photos, interviews, behind-the-scenes footage, and articles the likes of which you never see elsewhere. And if you’re into the funny and the snarky, then MSN fashion critic and writer Kat Giantis will have you in stitches over her tongue-in-cheek reports of celebrity style booboos.
6. thesartorialist.blogspot.com
Former retail store owner and fashion marketer Scott Schuman goes around the world taking photos of well-dressed people on the street. His blog may have begun as a hobby but it has long since turned him into a celebrated fashion photographer and Style.com reporter.
7. www.firstview.com
First View is the next best thing to getting seated front row in all of the world’s best fashion shows. Past and current collections, upcoming shows, the who, where, and what of fashion – you name it, First View has it.
