Casual Summer Fashion Accessories

Casual accessories are invaluable in any wardrobe. Here are some to keep in mind as summer rolls around.

With each season comes its own set of trends, styles and accessories and summer is no exception. This season is all about the heat and trying to beat it so light accessories are your best bet when it comes to accenting your summer season outfits and ensembles. Lighter colors, fabrics and materials work best this time of year so it is in your power to use them to your advantage.

There are certain colors that work best in summer. Bright shades, whether they are neons or pastels, primary colors or other bold tones, work best this time of year. They accent the heat well and mirror nature also. Everything is full and in bloom so why not use your environment to inspire your outfits? Lighter neutrals are also best as opposed to navy blues and blacks. While they are appropriate all year round, these lighter colors are more common and complement the season better as well. White, beige, and khaki are great to use, even taupe, cream and light heather grey are good as well.

Light patterns are also totally in. Think earth toned floral prints, or even neon floral prints, and festive paisleys or geometric patterns. These prints are not just available in clothing, but are totally useful to have in your arsenal of accessories, too. Shoes, light weight scarves, vests, light jackets or sweaters, printed bangles or bib necklaces, handbags from hobos to backpacks or totes to clutches, you can mix and match any of these seasonally appropriate patterns. Create outfits that use some of the colors featured in your accessory of choice to help tie an outfit or look together. Alternatively, you can use these items to brighten up and add some oomph to more basic outfits.

Big floppy straw sun hats, straw fedoras and panama hats are in this season. Not only do these pieces add character to any summer look, but they add a bit of a beachy, resort feel to any outfit as well as keep the sun out of your eyes and protect your scalp from sunburn. Whether you choose just one hat, or have several in your wardrobe, these can be easily mixed and matched with outfits. A basic t-shirt and shorts, a sundress, denim cut offs and a light flannel shirt, swimsuits and coverups all go with hats. Choose one with a bold pattern or design and another with a neutral or basic design in order to have one for any occasion.

What to Wear When Meeting His Mom

Posted on by

Meeting his mother can be rather nerve wracking. But what to wear? Try to be true to your roots but be sure to be on your best behavior.

Meeting your guy’s mom is a pretty big deal. Not only is it a sign that things are headed in a serious direction, but it is the first opportunity you’ll have to make an impression on the lady who means the most to your guy. It’s a bit like a job interview, but a little more personal. You want to be yourself, but you want to put the best version of yourself forward. But what do you wear?

First thing’s first is to assess what sort of setting you’ll be meeting your beau’s mother in. Is it a casual swing by their house? Are they inviting you over for dinner? Will you be going out to eat? Or will you be casually meeting for coffee together? The venue and the time will act as big cues for you when it comes to deciding on what to wear. As a general rule, even if you are going to meet them in a more casual setting, it’s best to dress up a bit for it. You don’t have to be fancy, but if you’re meeting at a coffee shop you might not want to wear a baggy t-shirt and jeans, you may instead want to wear a nice top with slim pants, a handbag and some flats, for instance. It’s still a casual look, but a cleaned up version that still shows you care about meeting his mom.

Another big cue will be what she’s like. You have probably heard a bit about her or even seen some pictures. What is she like? What does she like? What’s her own style? No matter what, you should still be yourself. But make sure it’s your best self. If she’s more of a conservative mom, then alter your look to be on the conservative side but don’t compromise your personality or style. Use items you may already have that fit the bill. If she’s more laid back, it still makes a good impression to look put-together, but don’t be afraid to experiment as much.

No matter what you choose, it’s always good advice to be yourself. While you do want to make a good impression, you don’t want to completely change who you are or act too formal and stiff. Just like at a job interview, the interviewer can often tell if you are trying too hard or are pandering to their interests in an effort to impress them. While this information is useful in meeting them, it is still important that you can do so while still being true to yourself. Let your personality shine through your outfit, even if you have to make some adjustments in order for it to be appropriate.

Find the perfect look to meet your guy’s mom at Chicastic.  Try a cardigan, statement jewelry, or a new clutch.

Looking for a versatile accessory that will suit multiple occasions? Look no further than this white glossy faux leather clutch.

A clutch handbag makes a great noncommittal accessory. It can be easily added to any ensemble on the go and just as easily removed if you want to go for a different look, but having one, if not a few, handy in your wardrobe will definitely come in handy. Having one handbag alone will not suffice. Different occasions call for different bags and a clutch definitely serves its purpose. If you’re the type of person that prefers their accessories be as versatile as possible, then this white glossy faux leather clutch is perfect for you.

White is a great color to break out come the spring time. Though this color might remind you of the snow that spring has hopefully left behind for good, it can easily brighten up an outfit and is also a great color to use when transitioning between spring and summer. White accessories are very resort chic and are wearable with most, if not all, outfits. White is a neutral and goes with everything, which is of course an added bonus. It can match virtually any outfit and suit any occasion, whether it is casual, professional or formal. It can even suit a night out on the town. Leather always gives off an air of sleek sophistication, and even this faux leather handbag does the job. Its glossy finish makes it appear even sleeker, and is also easier to take care of should it see to any spills or stains.

When it comes to using white, there is a wide and open playing field. Given that it is a neutral, it can be used to accent an outfit in several ways. If you’re wearing primarily dark or deep, rich colors, then it can suitably break up your look and add balance without taking away from the colors in your outfit. It can also be used with monochromatic looks or even all white for a classy yet daring look. Given this clutch’s versatility, it makes the perfect go-to bag. If you’re heading to a casual coffee date or if you need a classic clutch to go with a cocktail dress for a last minute formal event, this bag can work on any occasion and to full effect. It’s small size makes it the perfect addition to any look, adding whatever element you need. If you want to break up a monotonous outfit, it can do so with minimal effort. Same goes if you’re simply looking for an accessory that will match just about anything. An item with maximum usage definitely goes a long way and can help create countless outfits and looks.

Time to shed those heavy winter clothes and slip into something more comfortable. Welcome the warmer weather with comfy layers and versatile accessories.

Spring fashion should be all about taking advantage of the warmer weather. It has probably felt like ages that you’ve had to lug around your winter coat, scarf, gloves and hat but now that spring is here we can finally shed all of those heavy layers! Though spring can still have it’s fair share of uncertain weather, it is still considerably warmer than winter and that is enough to brighten anyone’s mood. Now that the weather is becoming more comfortable, your weekend wardrobe can look to head in the same direction.

Bohemian styles are hot this season. They’re everywhere from long flowy skirts, maxi dresses, drapey kimonos and cardigans and comfy peasant tops. These items are great for the spring because they provide coverage for cooler days but allow a breezy feel on warmer days. They are also perfect for layering. This look is all about texture and comfort and is perfect for spring. Bohemian or not, basics are probably the perfect items to layer. Basic v-neck tees, camisoles, cardigans, you name it. When it comes to the unpredictable and indecisive weather of spring, it’s always a good idea to dress in layers if you’re unsure about what the day might bring. The morning may be chilly or even cold, but come noon to four it may feel almost sweltering. But you’ll notice that once the sun begins to go down again, it will start feeling a lot like it did that morning. Light layers like tees and cardigans are great for weather like this. Light layers also allow you to play around with colors, patterns and textures, creating new and interesting looks with each and every combination. Layering allows you to experiment with your look and create endless ensembles that are sure to last you well throughout the spring season.

Along with the bohemian style comes the influx of bohemian baubles, meaning any variety of rings, statement necklaces and bracelets. Now that your arms are free from coats and sweaters, feel free to wear jangly jewelry again like bangles or thick cuff bracelets. Statement necklaces are also great for weekend wear and can dress up any casual, comfy outfit that suits your fancy. Comfy chic is totally in so take advantage of this weekend look and feel free to mix and match. All of these accessories work well with layered outfits, whether they are composed of basics or otherwise. Feel free to mix and match just about everything. Since a typical spring day will have you adding and losing layers throughout the day, you’ll have plenty of looks to keep up with the constant outfit changes.
