How to Wear the Body-Con Trend

Short for “body conscious” (think super tight bandage style dresses.), body-con is a huge trend right now. Bodycon dresses have been a wardrobe staple for most ladies who love to flaunt their curves. It has been one of the most sought after fashion trends not only on the runway but also by celebrities on red carpet events. In fact, it is slowly becoming a classic staple similar to the LBD.

From skintight pencil skirts (or bodycon skirts) to figure-hugging dresses and even form-fitting high-waisted jeans, the body-con silhouette will have you showing off your shape if you choose to partake this season. But how do you wear it? Will it be flattering? How can you keep your look sultry, not trashy?

General Body-Con Tips:

Don’t be afraid! The thought of tight, figure-hugging clothing probably inspires fear in the majority of women, but it shouldn’t! Most body-con pieces are actually pretty flattering, due to the fact that they suck you in, smoothing out your shape. Still self-conscious? Try wearing Spanx or even high-waisted sheer footless tights under anything you feel is too tight or short.
Play with proportions. As I’ve stressed in previous articles, if you’re wearing a tight item of clothing, it’s a good rule to balance it out with an item that’s not as form fitting. Wearing a tight skirt? Try a colourful, loose-fitting tank tank top for balance.
Choose what to showcase. Sure, a tight bandage dress is a great option for a night at the club, but it’s not for every day! For normal wear, it’s best to decide what assets to flaunt and cover the rest! Example: if you’re wearing tight, high-waisted jeans, put on a short sleeved turtleneck! That way, you flaunt your legs and butt, but keep the cleavage under wraps for a classy look.
Go dark. Because these styles are so form fitting, it’s best to opt for a dark colour if you’re feeling at all shy about showing your shape. Black, dark gray, brown, navy, and even deep purples and reds are all great colour choices for body-con pieces.
Length Does Matter. A bodycon dress has been depicted as tight and very short – almost like an exclusively clubwear piece. But in fact, some bodycon dresses can go below the knee.The catch is, make sure you wear the right length of dress to the right occasion. a bodycon mini dress is great for turning heads at a club but would not be appropriate for brunch.
Work: Office wear doesn’t have to mean boring. Try a slightly conservative version of the body con dress – think longer hemlines and high necks. If you are still unsure, layer your body con dress with a fitted jacket.
Pick your pairings wisely. What you wear with your body-con is almost as important as the body-con item itself! For city chic looks, pair body-con dresses with bombers, boyfriend blazers, or jean jackets. If you’re doing the body-con thing in the AM choose conservative shoes–think ballet flats or boots. Even your accessories can provide some needed coverage, so go ahead and pull out your scarf from last fall! It’s all about striking a balance between showing off your hot bod and keeping it classy.

NY FASHION WEEK ..MARCHESA,KORS,BLASS,PROENZA SCHOULER, KRAKOFF, MILLY

Marchesa

With more than just a nod to Dior and McQueen, the designing ladies of Marchesa have delivered one more spectacular collection of red carpet and camera ready confections. The trend of folds and the origami aspects have more than been adapted to suit the specifications of the Marchesa look.

Michael Kors

The crown prince of urbane, chic and slick sportswear has presented his take on Spring 2011and he will be keeping his crown yet one more season. Mr. Kors has moments of spectral colors surrounded by whites and neutral that will delight men and women of many age groups. The look is softer than and not as rigid as perhaps his Fall collection but nonetheless ever so divine.

Bill Blass

Jeffrey Monteiro has been assigned the huge task of reviving, yet one more time, the namesake collection. He offers glimmers of hope that he might have an understanding of the DNA of Bill Blass and hopefully he will be showing more and more. Razor sharp edges and impeccable tailoring were always part of the DNA as well as the total look of an outfit. There is a long road ahead if Mr. Monteiro has the ability to restore the luster and the glory of the iconic brand.

Proenza Schouler boys, Jack McCullough and Lazaro Hernandez, delivered a grown up collection without all the gimmicks of over styling. There were great dresses and wonderful 2pc. dressing but when evening approached there were some very dicey moments with transparency. The young look was further thwarted by that awful below the knee hemline which flattters almost no one.
Reed Krakoff is insistent on being a designer entity unto himself despite his success with Coach. In his namesake collection, which is in its second season, the DNA has not yet been fully developed and that's where the issues begin. One can assume that the collection will remain on its minimalist path but when Mr. Krakoff veers off that path, then we see trouble. Again we see the folds and the origami work of so many collections but here we see it become clumsy. Even his use of red jolts us as with his black: they become odious under his hand.
Milly,Michelle Smith. deftly delivers a light hearted , colorful, sophisticated grouping with great patterns and mixes of color. The collection has little age discrimination and offers up cosmoplitan and slightly retro clothes for all ages.

RUNWAY REPORT.....Paris Haute Couture Fashion Week: Chanel Couture Fall 2017

WHAT: Chanel Haute Couture Fall/Winter 2017. 83-year-old Karl Lagerfeld had a 46-ton Eiffel Tower recreated inside the Grand Palais to highlight his "Tribute to Paris" Chanel Haute Couture Fall/Winter 2017/2018 show.

The 35-meter (125 feet) replica of the iconic Parisian monument, greeted guests, as it seemed to go beyond the Grand Palais' famed glass ceiling, as man-made steam created the illusion of clouds up above. It took workmen six weeks to make, copying beam for beam the columns and metal made by Gustave Eiffel for the 1889 Universal Exhibition.

INSPIRATION: The Belle Epoque was the starting point for inspiration, specifically the period which followed the building of the Eiffel Tower. Lagerfeld also said he was inspired by a "revived Parisian woman" with shapes, silhouettes and cuts that combined essences of the late 1880's-to-early 1900's, as well as 60's and contemporary looks.

SEEN ON THE RUNWAY: Curved oversized sloping shoulders; leg-o-mutton arms showed overt wink-and-a-nod to the pre-World War I fashion styles. The Chanel canotier hat which Coco wore during that same period was shown with just about every outfit. Besides this, many 1960's shapes and details were present such as mini dresses, retro batteau collars, knee-high boots and fun bows. As usual at Chanel Haute Couture, exquisitely-made tweeds highlighted this Fall/Winter collection. Leather collars, multi layered pailletes and feathers made appearances here and there. The feathers mimicking a look of fur trim.
