Women Fashion

Most people have heard the popular quote " Clothes Make The Man" and to counter that quote here is another one "Shoes Make The Woman". Women have very busy days that involve many activities and occasions and there are shoes for just those occasions. This range of shoe starts from the classic tennis shoe to the pointed toe sling back.

Sneakers and Hook & Loop closures give intensity and longevity

Classic sneakers for women have been around since the invention of rubber and have evolved greatly since then. Sneakers consist of a rubber sole with shoe strings that lace up the front to tie. These shoes serve best in an environment created for exercise or physical fitness. Hook and Loop closure shoes have rubber soles but have a piece of fabric come across the front of the shoe, loop through a hole and come back across and hook the shoe closed by Velcro. These shoes are suited in a more casual setting of walking or daily activities.

Lace ups and Mary Janes add a little elegance to the day

Lace-ups are thick shoes that look like boots but have an elevated heel and a lace up front. These shoes are suited for day events that require a less casual look. The heels on lace ups can vary and so can the lace up styling of the front. Mary janes are flats with a sturdy rubber base, the top of the shoe is open and is connected by a strap that comes over the opening and clips to a button on the other side of the shoe. Mary janes are women work appropriate shoes and can also be used in day functions of any kinds. These shoes are worn well with long skirts and dresses.

Fashion Trends for Women

Bags are seeing the same fashion trend as boots: a classic shape with an extravagant twist. Animal print, especially crocodile skin is finding its way onto simple shapes, bold colours are adorning the classic cut and otherwise unassuming bags are finding themselves in the limelight having had a glam makeover.

Day bags. This season sees the quirky twist of the oversize bag. If you can carry this off (excuse the pun) then go for it, if the bulky bag is too much for you then the oversize clutch bag can give daywear a glamorous lift. Faux fur is also an alternative to the bulky bag whilst giving you that must have luxurious style. Bags are no exception to the other trends of the season, metallics, vivid colours especially purples and animal print are all represented on the catwalks.

The contrast of simple and extravagant does not bypass bags either, where casual styles are accented with luxurious detail. Chain is a big look this season, chain handles or just as decoration on the bag itself, glitzy cabochon beads are adorning the corners of neutral coloured bags, distressed leather is being given new life with studs and fabrics are mixing different textures together for a new kind of love. For the retro look bead bags with trailing fringes. If going for the bold colour look then stick to the block of colour with a bag matching the outfit.
