Sore eyes no more!

GLASSES, as usual, are a very scorching item, especially in music festivals that start at 4 P.M. However, not all glasses fit fashion standards when it comes to achieving a ‘Yes, I'm cool enough to come to a concert but haven't forgot to bring my cool along’ approach!
   Big is once again the order among sunglasses and to prove it, we've caught several people (mostly men) wearing Dior's "fly's eyes" during Rio's festival.
   Along with other known brands, Dior has challenged the statement that only "small is beautiful", proving that big is the ultimate definition for eye protectors.

 
Can't get you out of my … feet!

ONE WORD of advice: when choosing a pair of snickers, think “the uglier, the better”! This is the ultimate rule to follow when thinking of buying a new pair of sports shoes. Sneakers are now a way of life, a new expression of cool, a trend on your feet that commands what ever else you put on the body.
   Surely you've heard of casual Fridays, haven't you? Why do you think they exist if not to wear your brand new "slick hip over the top" Adidas to the office?

 
Waist of style!

OK, picture this: you've decided to go with your white Sisley shirt and your favourite pirate jeans from Guess. Normally you'd be just about ready to leave home but today you felt like spicing things up a bit. So, you grab your brand new orange fancy Adidas along with your colour-matched Cavalli purse. Then it hits you that instead of a purse, why not wear your Timberland Hip bag?
   Hip bags are for fashion what MAC is for good make-up! So now you're feeling sexy and hip but your mind wonders off to what your boss might say … Maybe start looking for a new boss that'll appreciate you for who you are and not for what you wear!

 
Laced, strapped and zipped!

REMEMBER the new pants you bought last year? Now add more belts, a few more pockets and some ribbons and you're all set.
   This is what a pair of pants should look like when wearing just about anything else. However, the rule for it to work is: do not choose too much pattern or colour for your upper clothing when wearing these type of pants. Confusing “layering” was done two years ago.
    If you're more into bringing out the best in upper wear, then two words of advice: KISS on the lower end and funky, ripped, asymmetric craziness to cover your upper parts. •
