Women Say Baggy Isn't Cool

Baggy (adjective) - baglike; droopy; hanging loosely

Baglike? Droopy? Those are two words I don't want people to immediately think of when they see me walking down the street. Especially droopy -- do I need to explain why that's an unattractive adjective?

Maybe it worked for MC Hammer and his parachute pants (temporarily!), but baggy is out. In a recent Cosmo survey, over 55% of women say too many men wear big, bulky sweaters and baggy pants. They want to "see a hint of what's underneath".

This doesn't mean go out and buy a bunch of tight spandex shirts and biker shorts -- the key word is "hint". They just want a general idea of what's under the hood without you broadcasting it through a mesh muscle shirt.

As for jeans, the same rule applies. Women said they don't like the huge elephant pants, but they don't want you strutting around in body-hugging pleather pants either. Go for something in between that is snugger around the waist and upper legs, but still has room for movement. The best thing you can do is take your girlfriend or a female friend with you when shopping. They will appreciate that you value their opinion, and they will know what looks great on you, before you buy something that isn't quite up to par.

Now, for those of you who haven't quite got into revealing shape just yet (you're working on it though, right?), you can still stick to the slightly looser fitting options. Just use this as even more motivation to get in shape. Imagine being able to look great in just jeans and a $2 T-shirt, simply because of the subtle physique she can picture underneath.

So, unless you plan on bulking up and putting on about 25 pounds of muscle to fill out all those trash bags in your closet, toss them, and go get some clothes that actually fit.

Making a Fashion Statement With Lingerie

Before the 80's, people were outraged to see private (read: lingerie) items in public view, whether on display in a store or as part of an outfit worn openly. Today, lingerie is no longer just women's undergarments but a fashion statement catering to every need and every woman, small or large. We are no longer restricted to black, white or beige colors. Lingerie now comes decorated with sequins, fur, feathers, fringe, and exquisite lace just begging to be shown off. No more ugly corsets and gussets to compress and hide a woman's assets. Lingerie has become a fully fledged member of the fashion establishment. It has become an everyday staple and women like to update it as often as they update their clothes. We are no longer confined to wearing sexy lingerie on "special occasions" only. And while the majority of sexy lingerie wearing divas are in their twenties and thirties, the range actually goes from sixteen to fifty-five years old! Lingerie is now seen as a much wanted gift and you can even buy lingerie for your mama.

Today we probably see as much lingerie peeking out from under women's clothes as is hidden underneath. We no longer have panty lines thanks to these tiny strips of cloth called thongs that sneak out above the waistband of our favorite pair of low rider jeans. Hot colors and bold patterns now peep through lightweight material to show sneaky glimpses of what is underneath. Choosing and displaying lingerie has become exciting. The combinations and possibilities are endless. Based on her selection, a woman may allow her feminine side to radiate through, her sexy and temptress side to play, or her innocent side to shimmer. A woman should select her lingerie each day based on what side of herself she wants to dramatize.

Bras certainly mirror fashion trends. There is a bra for every occasion. You wear a sports bra to play tennis, another style to go to work, and a different one to go out on the town. There is literally a bra to match all of your outfits. If you are into this season's colors, there is no doubt that you'll find just the right bra set that will match. Fashion divas are now realizing that innerwear changes the way their outer clothing looks. A clingy tee shirt needs a different bra than a regular blouse.

Lingerie is designed for comfort, concealment, or seduction. The comfort of a woman's undergarments is essential. Lingerie is the garment that lies closest to a woman's body, determining how a woman feels. A woman is converted as she puts on her undergarments. Her feminine side comes to the forefront and takes charge of how she feels about herself. No longer does a woman need to hide her underwear, but rather, it is acceptable to flaunt it. After all, the styles today are quite appealing. Whether a woman is trying to enhance what she has or underplay what she has but doesn't want, lingerie has been designed to do what needs to be done. A woman wants to look her best and is willing to try almost anything to glamorize her appearance.

The knack of wearing lingerie is not a difficult one to learn. Discover what styles fit you best - physically and sensually. Combine this with the colors and patterns that you enjoy. Fill your lingerie wardrobe with a variety of styles. Choose carefully, purchase wisely, and wear proudly.

4 Easy Ways To Help You Look Sexy In A Bathing Suit

There is nothing scarier then the first holiday or vacation
when you have to put on a bathing suit. Somehow, that
inevitable moment creeps up on you, and you want to look good
at that very moment. There are things that you can do to
look good immediately and some that will take more
time but have long lasting results. Here are some ways that
you can turn heads (for the right reasons) the next time you
have to wear a swimsuit.

1. If possible, start exercising right this very minute. A
work-out routine does not have to be elaborate or intense for it
to help you.
If you have been sedentary, the small things you do will
make a big difference in your body and your health.

Here's an example of something you can do while
you are putting on your bathing suit. It will
make your arms and shoulders look great.

-Put your hands on your on your bathroom bureau (the area
near your sink). Place them a bit wider then shoulders
width apart.

-Take 2 large steps back and place your feet a little wider
then shoulders width apart.

-Stand on your toes. Your body should be tilting slightly
towards the sink.

-Straighten your body out by tucking your backside in and
sticking your chest out. Your body should be 1 straight line.

-Lower yourself slowly, as if doing a push-up and then press
yourself back up. Keep the movement slow and fluid.

-Do as many as you can. Incorporate this into your morning
or evening routine and your arms and shoulders will look
super toned and sexy.

2. Dress to Impress. If you are a women, no matter what size you
are, you can find swimwear that is attractive on you. This includes
accessory clothing that goes with your bathing suit. If you have a
large chest and your lower body is a bit big too, wear a gauzy see
through button up shirt over your bathing suit. Pair that with a darker
color light weight skirt that is made for the beach.

If you are a man and a bit on the hefty side, get the longer length
swim shorts that show off your calves. Wear a funny t-shirt or one
that displays the college you go or went to or the branch of the
military you are or were in. This shows that you either have a
sense or humor or something going on for yourself. Women
find this sexy.

3. Get a Tan. A tan makes everyone look better. But the rays of
the sun are harmful to your skin and could cause skin cancer.
Suntan beds are not much better. Try using one of the new
sprays or lotions for instant tan and bronzing. They have come
a long way from the ones that were streaky and made your skin
orange.

4. Cultivate Some Self-Confidence. Nothing is sexier then
A person who is comfortable with themselves, no matter what
their body looks like. True confidence shines brighter and is more appealing then big
biceps or a nice backside.

Looking for Designer Jeans...

I have been looking for designer jeans at reasonable prices for quite sometime now. I have searched the entire San Diego area by car, bus and foot, no luck. I have been to the mall, I have searched outlets, browsed through magazines and bored myself to death while I was at it. I didn't find any good deals on designer jeans, instead what I did find probably isn't news to anyone, it is that none of the hot designer jeans out these days like to go on sale.

I can't let myself spend $250 for a pair jeans that I will not be able to fit into after the 4th of July BBQ. So as my search for designer jeans was nearing an end, my friend suggested a new website called www.BuyandSellJeans.com. It was a dream come true and I want to pass it on to all of you!! This website site as every brand of jean you can think, all below retail prices. So if you are looking for designer jeans at great prices, I have the answer for you www.BuyandSellJeans.com. My favorite brands are now all in one place, I can get Citizens, Sevens, Hudsons,Lucky Brand, Levis and have them shipped to my house. So now that my search for designer jeans at low prices has ended, maybe I will start searching for those HOT handbags for less than retails. Maybe someone should start a Buy and Sell Handbags. I bet a Channel Bag would look great with my new Citizens!

Marc Jacobs Might Give Us More

Marc Jacobs has brought us classics and much to talk about with his two lines: Marc Jacobs and Marc by Marc Jacobs. He and his partners are now considering putting more on their fashion plates with a third line, Marc3.

Marc3 will be priced under Marc by Marc Jacobs. This third line will allow the brand to reach even more consumers than before. Marc3 could be equal to the success and caliber of the partnerships with H&M and big fashion names (Karl Lagerfeld and others). Marc3 if successful could mark history. High-end labels very rarely come out with an additional line let alone a third line. It is even frowned upon for such a brand held in high esteem to create a second line. Many brands do not want to tarnish their names or integrity. Yet, Marc Jacobs and his partners believe he can overcome that stigma. They are ready to go out on a limb and be trailblazers.

Marc by Marc Jacobs has seen so much success. However, creating a new line could dilute the 2 other brands. Consumers may opt for the lowest priced label or opt out as a whole. Some critics even wonder if the proposed name would be recognizable.

However, Jacobs appears to see an opportunity to fill a void. His product lines are constantly knocked off. And in order to combat fast fashion a third line might be the weaponry needed. I already support the other two lines (sometimes from afar and sometimes financially!) and I would surely support this line. Jacobs has a vast amount of creativity. Sometimes it seems as if it is infinite. He stretches every season when it seems that other designers are just putting out variations of last season's designs. He has never been fearful to create his heart's desires. Never mind the critics and naysayers, Jacobs has everything he needs to develop Marc3.
