Flatter Your Figure: Elongating a Short Torso

Most of us have things about our bodies we'd like to change -- you know, the grass is always greener anywhere but here, right? One of the important things to keep in mind when we're figuring out how to best disguise our least favorite body part is that there are other body parts that we do like, and so instead of just disguising, we want to look at how to draw attention elsewhere.

If your problem is a short torso, chances are that you have fairly long legs. While you don't want to wear teeny-tiny shorts around all the time to show off how long they are, keep them in mind while you shop, and don't be afraid to flaunt what you have. However, we have a few tips to help you keep your body looking proportional -- check out what we have to say in the gallery!

Chief Dicks puts smack down on butt cracks

Posted Jun 30th 2008 5:35PM by Jonathon Morgan

It's a tough world we live in -- theft, murder...and baggy pants. Clearly someone has to put a stop to this menace, and what better way to spend police time than to arrest people whose trousers sag below their waist?

After revealing your undies was deemed unlawful in Louisiana, and some college kid (and his entire family) got arrested over a pair of ill-fitting slacks in Florida, it's really no surprise that Flint, Michigan Chief of Police, David Dicks, has ordered officers to remain vigilant in defending the public against unsightly butt cracks. He told the local paper that "This immoral self-expression goes beyond free speech," and has thus been deemed "indecent exposure" (which is an offense that warrants arrest).

So, It seems that some style fouls are so bad that they can't be handled by the fashion police -- you have to call the actual police instead. Go figure. You get 'em, Dicks!

We are so sick of seeing the muffin top. Yes, many women end up with a little extra around the middle at some point in their lives and have a hard time getting rid of it, but by no means are those same women forced into tight, low-rise pants with a fitted top. There are a million stylish options that are infinitely more flattering.

We're not only passing judgment on the mom crowd -- girls and young women are just as much at fault. But don't worry -- we've got some suggestions for camouflaging your muffin top with style!

Many of us women out there suffer during the summer because we don't have stems like a supermodel.

So let's put an end to your suffering and take a look at some helpful hints to getting Rockette worthy gams.

Get fresh yoga pants

Just like with running shoes, yoga togs get worn out, but it's hard to remember to replace them. Take a look at your current yoga wardrobe and see if some of those elastic bands have a little less snap than you remembered, and maybe are just a bit less "fresh" than you would like.

Yes, it's time to jazz up your downward dog by investing in a new pair of yoga pants.

Flatter Your Figure: Lengthen short legs

If you have short legs, there are a number of things you can do to make them look longer, none of which include hanging by your ankles to stretch them out. The way you dress can make a dramatic difference in the way your legs look.

While wearing a monochromatic leg (pants or skirt, socks or tights, and shoes all in a similar color) is certainly elongating, it's not always practical. Are you going to wear red tights with a cute red sundress in the middle of summer? No way! We've got a few tricks you can employ this summer to make the most of what you've got, as well as a few things we strongly suggest you stay away from. Check out the gallery to learn more!

Going grey can be great!

In the 80s, did you have grey jazz shoes? Or are we showing our age? Maybe it's a little fashion nostalgia, but we're kinda into grey again.

This spring grey has been everywhere, from shoes to nails to dresses. We're loving the subtle and sophisticated ways the shade is being used, with creativity far beyond gym shorts and heathered wool sweaters. Grey is showing up in patent leather and organic cotton and everything in between.

When worn right, grey can be incredibly polished and flattering. Of course, some things are still better in color. We draw the line at grey hair -- you'll find us at the salon for regular root touch ups.

Check out the gallery for seven stylish grey selections.

Shorts for regular women: 6 rules

Posted Apr 24th 2008 4:06PM by Kristen Seymour
Filed under: Casual wear

It's getting hot out, at least where we are, and that means our wardrobe is slowly but surely changing. We're starting to pack away our heavy clothes and bring out more summery attire, which includes ... wait for it ... shorts!

Wait, don't panic! We know that the thought of shorts sends many women into a fit -- we are actually friends with many lovely ladies who have such a complex about their thighs that they will occasionally wear a skirt, but never, ever shorts. If you fall into this category and are happy there, that's just fine. But, if you're wondering what summer might feel like in a pair of stylish, flattering shorts, check out the gallery for some helpful tips.

Posh's jeans sink to new low

Filed under: Designers, Celebrity Style, Daily Obsession

Sure, sales weren't exactly stellar, and Posh's meager PR efforts weren't helping the situation -- but this is a new low! The Spice Girl's dVb jeans (you know, the ones that don't show off your bulge), were going for upwards of $290 at trendy LA boutiques. Now, however, they're lining the racks of Loehmann's, an "off-price specialty retailer" (read: the discount store for clothes that nobody wants).

And it's not just a couple pairs, either. An accomplice for gossip queen Perez Hilton found entire racks full of them in a Roseda, CA store -- all priced at a considerably more affordable $69.99.

How to wear white pants

Posted Apr 21st 2008 10:13AM by Cat Lincoln
Filed under: Casual wear, Sporty wear

Summertime is right around the corner. For those of us who still follow the old rules, that means White Season!

White shoes, white bags, white dresses, and most dangerously, white pants. So easy to ruin forever with blueberry pie, so hard to find a flattering fit.

Here are a few of simple rules to take the fear and anxiety out of wearing these most unforgiving garments:

1. Be skinny-skinny-skinny. Where black is slimming, white ahem creates a visual expansion. Particularly of one's posterior. If you're not super slim, you may want to back away from the idea right now.

eBay WTF of the Day: Ludicrous stirrup pants

Posted Apr 17th 2008 12:50PM by Annie Scott
Filed under: Casual wear, Sporty wear, eBay WTF of the Day

These pants are totally freaking ridiculous. There, I said it.

There almost isn't more to say. We don't normally post these. We see a lot of things on eBay in this category we shall call Ludicrous.

By deeming an eBay item Ludicrous, we mean that nobody's actually going to buy it, unless they're making a costume of some kind. And really, probably not then either, because as in this case, the items tend to cost upward of the fifty cents they might be worth at a yard sale.

The Natural Store, naturally

If there is one thing that we love as much as fashion it's conservation and corporations that believe in it, that's why we were happy to find The Natural Store.

This is what they say about themselves:

The Natural Store is a different type of Department Store – dealing only with suppliers who operate on a Fair Trade basis, have high ethical and moral values, or who try to minimise their impact on the environment. So whether you're after individually made organic chocolates endorsed by the Soil Association, sensual underwear in organic cotton and hemp/silk or a wind-up radio so you can tune to your favourite station, we're the natural choice.

Latex leggings: Love 'em or hate 'em?

Posted Apr 11th 2008 5:33PM by Jonathon Morgan
Filed under: Celebrity Style

As our friends at StyleList have so generously reminded us, latex leggings are still making the rounds on the legs and bottoms of your favorite celebrities. We warned you in the fall, and then again this winter, and now the time has come -- the trend is at its peak.

Clearly, this shift from skinny jeans to pants that, somehow, are even tighter, isn't going anywhere any time soon. The question is: do you care? Sure it looks OK on ultra-thin actresses, models and pop stars who spend hours at the gym, working every minor bulge into submission with the help of high-dollar personal trainers. But will it look good on normal women?

Discuss.

Real women struggle with this summer's trends

Posted Apr 10th 2008 8:08PM by Kyle Hepp
Filed under: Casual wear

Some trends are easily followed by real women -- think bold prints, ballet flats, and wide leg jeans. There are certain rules that even a fashion dummy could follow. And then there are other trends that aren't for the faint of heart. Skinny jeans are hard to wear unless you're, well, pretty skinny. Fashion as architecture is a toughy. And the new heel-less heels are pretty darn scary even for the most hardcore fashionista.
