French Chic Fashion Tips – What to wear in Paris

What to wear in Paris can be a challenge. Follow my timeless French chic fashion tips and you can master Parisian style, where ever you are… French chic… What to wear in Paris (our Paris inspiration shopping guide is at the end of the page) Dear Sharon: I'm going to Paris for vacation and don't want to look like a tourist. I'm not familiar with what is acceptable to wear in such a chic city for touring around. I'm thinking the usual American customs of wearing shorts, T-shirts, sweats, tennis shoes, UGG's, or flip-flops probably won't go over well in Paris. What should I wear to a dinner cruise on the Seine or trolling about Paris to visit museums, shop,

Stylish and sophisticated business style that's office appropriate for a slim figure... I would like fashion advice on styles and places to shop for professional looking clothing for a small frame. I am 25 years old and 5'6" tall with a well-proportioned, size 2 hourglass figure that's a tad larger on top. My problem is finding fashionable office appropriate looks in small sizes for my petite figure. The Juniors department usually carries small sizes but often the styles are unsuitable for the office and not cut for a more mature, shapely figure. The Misses department rarely carries anything below a size 4 or 6. I don't want to look like a "teeny bopper" nor do I want to look "old & frumpy".

Wearing brown and black… Rules are for fools when it comes to men’s fashion

Wearing brown and black… Rules are for fools when it comes to men's fashion Alright, so I have a friend who professes that the brown with black rule for fashion is completely outdated. He said that its roots actually lie with royalty wearing black and lower classes wearing brown, and never the two shall meet. So, I was just wondering if it is okay to ditch the rule, as long as the accessories are the same? Thanks! (Radford, VA) Your pal needs far more than some fashion enlightening. I think you should ditch the twit and tell him not to come back until he gets some class. Or perhaps tell Mr. Biggety to limit his attire to an a-hole friendly

Age Defying Style: Age appropriate fashion tips

Age Defying Style... How to dress age appropriate with panache Dear Sharon: I am a 30 year old high school English teacher who feels stuck between fashion eras. Although I am not interested in dressing like the students that I teach, I find that the alternative of jumpers and printed sweaters of my older co-workers horrific. What does a thirty year old woman do to stay fashionable and fun without dressing too young? Please keep in mind that most women in my career are on a budget. Age appropriate fashion help would be greatly appreciated.

Sneaker Style… What color socks to wear with running shoes and what sneakers to wear with shorts

Sneaker Style… What color socks to wear with running shoes and what sneakers to wear with shorts What color socks should one wear if wearing blue jeans and white running shoes with black and gray trim? (Appleton, WI) >> Shop for Stylish Sneakers Okay, you really hit a fashion nerve. I want to affirm that the sneakers that you refer to are NOT those bulky, boxy, white leather, no-brainer, styleless clod of a thing that scores of style-impoverished Americans see as standard-issue non-office foot attire! I really hope so. Besides, the whole idea of coordinating socks with white sneakers and jeans absolutely stymies me. If one was to spend such a tremendous amount of time fretting about coordinating their socks

Cropped pants flattering or not? Petite dress tips to wear springs hot fashion trend Lately, I've been noticing a fashion trend in cropped pants for this coming spring. More specifically, they are cropped so that they fall right at the knee length. I was wondering if you would recommend this look for me considering my petite frame and height. I am 23 years old. I am 5 ft 4", weigh 100 lbs and have an hour glass figure. Can I pull it off or will it be unflattering?
