Are you in Vogue?

I have talked about lifestyle and life in general, so it must be about time to funk it up a little and talk about style.

When I talk about style I mean fashion.

Are you up with the latest trends for the coming season? Or should I say: are you in vogue?

I find it quite interesting to see what the next fashion is going to be and amazed as to how it evolves. My mother often says that she should have kept things from when she was a young adult. It is a bit of a worry that fashions from 30 to 40 years ago are making a come back. But I have to say that with the style and attitudes of today, the items of clothing maybe the same; however, they are worn in a particular manner making it stylie!

As a child born in the 80s I often find myself talking with other people born of the same era and discussing what we use to wear. Slouch socks, bike pants, clothes made by our mothers, skivvies with images, velcro shoes, and for guys the classic Origin jeans (what colour did you have).


Today is a lot different, as children go to school with the latest labels. I on the other hand would have got my first label at the age of 13. Was I deprived? I don’t think so. Back then it was a treat to get a labelled item of clothing.

What is in vogue this winter?

After looking around the shops in the local mall I have noticed that for girls it is all about tights, shirt dresses, pinafores, cardis, scarfs, coats and like every other season; boots. For the guys, well to be honest I haven’t taken as much notice.

Click girl and guy for latest fashions that relate to your gender.

A word of advice: if you feel good in your outfit, work it. But if you feel slightly unsure, change it. There is nothing worse than someone constantly tugging on their outfit as it shouts; self conscious!

Hi, it's Candy. You have a very interesting topic as well. What is the popular style in this winter? I haven't spend time to look at all the shops yet, but I will keep my style-wear a coat which can keep myself warm. I didn't care about the old style clothes because the old style will becomes a fashion again, not only in Western countries, but also in Asia. In my opinion, I am not encourage people to always following the latest fashion, because it may not suit you. The latest fashion for different people is something suits yourself!
