As the temperates drop and nights draw in quicker, there's no denying we are transitioning out of Summer. Yet this certainly does not mean it's time to get all gloomy, fashion or otherwise. Instead, it's time to embrace the pleasures and unique colours of Autumn. Your style should combine perfectly with function as you begin to wrap up in layers, coats, and jackets. As always, following AW’16 provides an awesome insight into the fashion world. When it comes to staying stylish this Autumn…

Andy Warhol has said “I want to die with my blue jeans on.”(Brainyquote, n.d.). A lot of people today share Warhol’s affection for jeans. Denim is a staple of the modern wardrobe. It is comfortable, practical, and fashionable. However, jeans weren’t always common and popular. Denim has first been popularly used when designer Levi Strauss figured out a way to make denim affordable in 1936. Since then, denim has been through an interesting revolution. All kinds of people, including cowboys in…

Urban Outfitters, Rue 21, or H&M and seeing all the clothes sitting promptly in their display cases waiting to be worn by all. I gaily skip through the aisles of the department store looking for the perfect coat, sweater, vest, cardigan, pair of jeans, or joggers to buy. When I finally come across an item that I might be interested in I wait for it to speak to me. It’s as if I am the “Clothes Whisperer”. The item says, “Buy me, Jaylon! Come on you know you want!” I grab the piece of…

Keelee is a very fashionable person. Whenever you need help picking out an outfit I suggest you ask Keelee. She will tell you the truth and be honest. I like picking out outfits for Keelee has so many clothes. I swear she has 100 pairs of jeans. She will not wear the same thing even if it’s 2 weeks apart. Keelee always tells me she has no clothes, and I just glare at…

skipped, sweat dripped down his head, his hands became sweaty. As class was about to end Tyrone felt the tense look of his classmate Chuck. Chuck was a redhead who loved to wear denim. He wore a denim jacket with a white undershirt and blue Levi jeans. On his feet were the classic high top black and white Converse (Chuck Taylor’s). Chuck then mouthed to Tyrone “You’re mine after…

Ate (means sister we use this word to show respect when we talk to older female person even though we are not blood-related) Cecile came over and gave me a hug, she is a jolly petite 50-year-old lady. She wore casual brown wool sweater and black jeans. She said, “musta?”(how are you?) . I said “mabuti po”(good). It’s been awhile since the last time I saw them, and ate Rose,, gave me a hug too. She invited me to the birthday party. She is also a Filipina who is married to her American husband…

Everyone has a kind of culture that helps form their views on the world. In many incidents culture is the main cause for the opinions formed to describe how people feel about the world. Although culture may not play a major role in some lives, it does heavily influence many others standpoint on situations. However when a person disregards their culture their viewpoint on the world is most liable to change at any point and time. In the personal essay “Two Ways to Belong in America” by Bharati…

dark-washed skinny jeans and a grey leather jacket zipped up with a white infinity scarf. Her shoes are white Converse low-tops that need washing since the toes are turning brown from dirt. Participant 2 is a 13 or 14-year-old African American female. She is also tall for her age; she and Participant 1 are about the same height. Participant 2 is thin, with almost an athletic body type; she has long legs and broader shoulders than most young teenage females. She is wearing blue jeans, a green…

a little overwhelmed by all the trendy stuff they had. This was kind of unusual for me because I don’t normally find myself overwhelmed. I mean, I’m really pretty simple. For me, I find myself most comfortable in just a T-shirt and a pair of blue jeans that I would normally wear while hitting up a kegger. But this place screamed dance party. As I was looking through the items, losing hope by the second, my mama had pulled a God-awful pink dress from one of the racks saying, “This one’s cute…

the man with winter hat Winter headgear. For the men, hat (or beanie hat as now appears to be called), cap or hat. Which material you choose? About the hat, I do not have much to say. Nice and warm, sporty and easy to put in your pocket. Perhaps clever to invent any materials you have on your head to many. Do it quickly warm? Can you stand the tickling of wool? If you answer 'yes and no', then look for a cap of synthetic material. Or maybe a combination of the two materials a solution for you…
