About Clothing



If you think about it, clothing is like a second skin. Everywhere you go, you have to wear clothes. It's the law. After all, how many times have you seen the sign "No shirt. No shoes. No service" while you were out shopping? Granted it's usually a convenience store sign, but the same basic principle applies everywhere. And even though you can shop online in your underwear, you'll eventually have to leave the house. Trust us, your neighbors are hoping you'll be wearing, at the very least, some Tommy Bahama® shorts and a Diesel® tank top.

And since they make stuff for just about any lifestyle, you'll be hard pressed to find a reason why you don't have to wear clothes. Some women keep their wardrobe as simple as a pair of 7 for All Mankind Jeans® and a Lucky Brand® t-shirt while other women glam it up with a fancy Calvin Klein® dress. Then, there are the men who love nothing more than an awesome suit or blazer by HUGO BOSS® while other dudes would rather wear Columbia® and Reef® cargo shorts and a ...Lost® or O'Neill® hoodie.
When you look through the clothing stores, you'll find a litany of men's clothing, women's clothing, kids' clothing, boys' clothing, and girls' clothing. You'll probably even find clothes for a dog. It is truly a dizzying assortment of shirts, pants, shorts, skirts, graphic t-shirts, jackets, coats, skinny jeans, regular jeans, maxi dresses, and oodles of kids clothes. Fortunately, you know your own style and can zone in on the perfect pair of cargos, khakis, or polos for whatever you have planned.
Clothes offer you the unique opportunity to say a little something about yourself. A summer dress could say you're flirty, and a pant suit could say you're serious about your job. Whatever you wear, make sure it says something about you and the lifestyle you lead. It's a chance to let others in on who you are!

Where to Find Cheap Boys Clothing


Cheap boys clothing is easy to find but require a lot of patience. The best way to get great deals on new clothes for boys is by shopping in advance. For example, winter clothes are cheapest during the summer months because there is no immediate need for them. Last season’s designs would cost less if purchased this season. Buying wholesale clothes would also give you great discounts.

For used clothes, charity auctions and consignment sales are the best. There is a regular influx of used boys clothing because of their finite lifespan. Thus, don’t forget to check your local charity stores regularly.

Online auctions like eBay and amazon are effective sources of previously loved items too, especially for those living in small towns and counties.

Trendy Boys Clothing

Both Germany and Italy, together with several other nations, influence the entire fashion industry. Sailor suits, short pants, knitwear and jeans are common designs for boys even today. As they say, current trends are bettered smorgasbords of all previous trends.

Moms worldwide have the same motherly instinct – to provide comfortable yet trendy clothes for their little ones.

Hence, there is a ready market for trendy boys clothing because parents are now more open to newer fashion trends. Compared to recent years, moms and dads are more aware of the fact that trendy clothes give their children a sense of confidence and belongingness. A lot of people wear similarly-themed clothes; hence, when boys look around they would feel one with the rest of the community.

When we speak of trendy clothes, they need not be designers. Brands like Armani Junior, D&G Kids, Baby Dior, Paul Smith kids, etc are called designer boys clothing. They are made in smaller quantities and are very expensive. A majority of parents cannot afford them and believe them to be impractical since young boys will soon outgrow them.

Traditional dress is still commonly seen in rural areas and is especially important throughout Indonesia for national ceremonial occasions. For both men and women, traditional dress in Indonesia includes a wrap-around lower-body cover—a kain (a rectangular length of fabric, generally in batik) or a sarong (a length of fabric with ends sewn together, more often in ikat). Women in Java and Bali wear sarongs and kain, held in place with a stagen, a narrow sash. The kebaya is a tight, often sheer, long-sleeved blouse worn on the upper body. It is often made of lace, but can also be made of lightweight, sheer, elaborately embroidered cottons. In addition, women generally have a large rectangle of cloth called a selendang (ikat or batik) draped over the shoulder (on less formal occasions a large selendang is used to carry babies or objects); on Bali the pelangi (a sash) is worn over the kebaya around the waist when going to temple.
Indonesian men generally wear kain or sarongs only in the home or on informal occasions. A black felt cap, or peci, is occasionally worn; although it was once associated with Islam, it has acquired a more secular, national meaning since Indonesia's independence. These ensembles have become national dress in Indonesia because the vast majority of the population lives on Java and Bali. Kebaya and batik kain are considered Indonesia's national dress for women, and teluk beskap, a combination of the Javanese jacket and kain, are national dress for Indonesian men.

Modern fashion in India


Aspects of Western fashion have become common among Indian men, particularly in the professional community. Horizontal stripes and plaids are common on casual business shirts, particularly among Indians in North America. Owing to influence of western culture, nowadays most of the teen and adult girls in cities wear low hip jeans, low neck tops, tight jean trousers with salwar, half trousers, sleeveless T shirts etc. Women who hail from rural villages usually wear frocks and half sarees; boys normally wear a shirt and pants, whether formally or casually.
Accepted formal dressing for couples in formal occasions like parties and weddings is saree for the ladies and formal pants and shirts with suits in the winter for the men. While one is utterly ethnic and Indian the latter is very western and non-Indian.
Indian women have however modernized and working women find western wear like shirts and trousers a comfortable dressing option for work. With entry of international fashion brands like FCUK, DKNY, Guess and many more, Indian women are increasingly becoming fashionable (in terms of Western standards). Among the league of high fashion international brands, domestic brands like Globus, BlackBerry's, Allen Solly, Park Avenue and Van Heusen, have also gained popularity. India has its own popular fashion designers like Ritu Kumar, Satya Paul, Manish Malhotra, Sabyasachi Mukherjee and Tarun Tahiliani.

Trendy Girls Clothing For All Ages

Floral prints were in vogue in the 1960s. Big and bright flowers were a common sight during this period. These were often seen on dresses and even skirts. The 60s' fashion for women was dominated by such dresses with daisy prints. Polka dots were also quite popular during this period.

The hippy culture strongly caught on in the 1960s as well. The hippy culture had its own way of defining their groups; one could see the youth wearing
bell-bottom jeans and tie and dye prints. Color was the one factor that bound hippies together. Long skirts in contrasting colors soon became a huge hit with women. Headscarves and headbands were used to complete the look. Men and women who belonged to this hippy culture also loved wearing a whole load of jewelry. This jewelry was as colorful as their attire.

ere, we will tell you how there are a large variety of styles of clothes and looks that are currently available for girls of various ages and how we can buy trendy girls clothing for all ages.

Although a variety of girls clothing is available pretty easily and in great variety, this is something that can also pose a problem when you are going out to shop in the market. Therefore one has to be aware of what are the kinds of clothes that they should buy for them and at what age. This is because clothing styles especially for women depends heavily on their age and what they can carry off. Not only that but one also has to be careful and buy clothes such that they are not out of fashion which we would regret at a later date. The correct cut, the fabric, the fall and a large number of things go into making the perfect girls clothing.

One important thing that you should keep in mind when you are shopping clothes which suit the way you feel and this is something which makes all women comfortable in what they wear. Other than that, if you are a guy and are shopping for girls, then it is very important for you to understand that women are open to experimentation with clothing so long as the girls clothing go with their way of carrying themselves and their distinctive styles. Depending on the age of the girl, one should know where to take them or to at all go shopping with them at all. Kids often to need to be accompanied and only then will they get a better idea of how they look and make sure if you are buying clothes for a girl, then you know what they like or don’t, nothing can be worse than you getting a dress and the person who you bought it for, not liking it.

Along with that, girls clothing also should be bought according to the season. If you are a woman and shopping for yourself, then you are okay with experimenting and getting something which may be out of the ordinary. However if you are shopping for someone who is younger, then it is best that you keep it safe and do not try to go very flashy or anything. Simple flowing dresses during summers are the best thing that someone could buy for someone young. Another kind of look which is good for not only the young kids but also for women who are a little older is of cotton skirts which can be worn along with light shirts which are good for women from anywhere from fifteen to even thirty.

A kind of look that kids sport these days and is something which is really a fad is denims and a hooded tee which can be worn during the spring and also in the winter, we see that there are a large number of looks that you could try out when it comes to buying girls clothing but make sure that you buy carefully.

Fashion tips for women from a guy who knows dick about fashion.

Before I begin, I should warn you that I know dick about fashion. It's not just a clever title to get your attention, though it's admittedly clever (I'm honest enough to admit when something is brilliant, even when it's my own writing).
You shouldn't read this article if you're a woman with low self-esteem. I don't need my inbox filled with emails from teary-eyed women reaffirming how astute my observations are by shrieking at me for ruining their lives.
Women get away with murder in our society, especially when it comes to the visual pollution they call fashion. So I'm going to do what few people—few men—have ever done by criticizing you. Sure, you may be thinking "but Maddox, people criticize women's fashion all the time!" Yes, but not men, and definitely not badasses like me.... Until now.
Crocs look like shit and they make your feet smell.



Crocs: they look like shit and they make your feet smell
When I see people wearing Crocs, I know immediately that we have nothing in common, and that we could never be friends or have any meaningful kind of relationship. They come in every color imaginable yet look bad with every other article of clothing ever created. The only thing that goes with Crocs is social ostracism.
To their credit though, Crocs serve as an excellent idiot barometer; you can tell a lot about people wearing them. For example, Amazon.com suggest products that other customers have purchased based on the item you're shopping for. Here are the suggestions for Crocs:


When it comes to shoes, there are usually three deciding factors: quality, price, and style. Some shoes are cheap and stylish, but poor quality, while others are stylish and durable, but expensive. Crocs usually go for $30-$60, which doesn't sound like much for a shoe, until you consider that what you're really paying for are melted pellets squirted into a cast-iron mold in some province in China. Crocs have the rare combination of being expensive, poor quality, and ugly. It's quite a feat for one shoe to suck this bad.
People who wear Crocs go on and on about how comfortable they are, and how it's supposedly odor resistant because it's made out of some kind of anti-bacterial foam. Great point, dipshits! You know what else it's resistant to? You getting laid. Then as if the shoes weren't disgusting enough, Crocs introduced a product called "Crocs butter" that's supposed to restore that illustrious injection-molded sheen to those gaping holes they call shoes:


You know that feeling you get when you're full and slightly nauseous and you burp and you can taste the partly digested food in the back of your throat? There isn't a word in the english language to succinctly describe it, but I will hereby refer to it as: croc-butter.
Red lipstick makes you look like a clown:





There are very few people who look good in red lipstick, and those people usually juggle for a living. I once met a girl who was able to pull it off, so I let her buy me dinner. Later that night she was making out with my wang, when I realized that all that lipstick was rubbing off. So I evacuated my moan-maker from her face hole, took some silverware for my trouble, and snuck out of her tent.
Red lipstick looks horrible on most women, and all men. The bright crimson hue is an unnatural abomination pushed upon your face by cynical cosmetic industry scientists. I'm sure somewhere in a laboratory, two scientists are high-fiving each other, laughing at all the bullshit new names for shades of red they invent. There have been literally thousands of names for the same color of lipstick over the years, yet there are only about 3 shades of red: red, dark red, light red. Period. And I mean that grammatically, and not menstrually, though the context makes sense now that I think about it. They just make up names as they go along, and you idiots keep buying the same three shades of red over and over again:

Here are some actual names for shades of red lipstick: berry juicy, candied apple, midnight red, love that red, volcanic red, red velvet, red reinvented, cherry desirable, opulent garnet, royal red, etc, etc. You know they're just making shit up when they start using abstract concepts like "love" and "desirable" in the name. Most of the shades are indiscernible from each other, but women insist that there's a difference. So I went to Revlon's website and took two of these colors for a comparison:


Yes, these are actual Revlon lipstick colors. I'm not making this up.
Insecure women with boring faces lap this shit up because they think "hmmm.. what does my face need? Oh, I know! A giant hokey shade of red that isn't even found in nature."
You are not a Cuban dictator.



Fidel Castro hats were made to be worn by Fidel Castro. Not hipster losers trying to look ironic. Unless you have a beard and you led a coup in 1959 to establish a Marxist socialist state in Cuba, take it the fuck off. It wouldn't even be so bad if you were Cuban, but you're not. You live in a midwestern suburb and you shop at Hollister. Oh yeah, that reminds me of this store I hate called Hollister. It's the greatest cultural fraud perpetrated upon mankind, and it looks like this:


Did you think your Hollister store was unique?
"But Maddox, how did you get a picture of that distinctive looking store from my mall?" Surprised? That's because every Hollister store is exactly the same:


Hollister: uniquely mass produced.
The store is made to look unique when it's not, so what you think you're seeing is a clothing store, but what you're actually seeing is a lie.
Every store has the same fake facade with the same fake plants out front, with the same fake terracotta roof, and every store plays the same pop/punk/emo soundtrack. Everything in this store is engineered to create a fake image, right down to the way the store smells. Think that musky cologne you smell when you walk by the store is an accident? Some marketing dickwad was paid top dollar to make you have an involuntary brand association every time you smell that scent. All so they can sell you a hat popularized by a Cuban dictator for the low low price of $20. Choke it down, dipshits!

Self-aggrandizing "hottie" shirts make you look like a bitch:



There are two types of girls who buy these shirts: 13-year-old junior-high brats, and 29-year-old chicks who are too tan and wear way too much lip gloss, and try desperately to look like they're younger than 29. The real problem here is that women who wear these shirts start to believe their own bullshit after a while. The shirt at the top emblazoned with the phrase "you say I'm a bitch like it's a bad thing" epitomises this attitude. Guess what? It is a bad thing. Here is my unabridged definition of bitch:

Noun: Bitch (bich):
  1. A miserable person who sucks all joy and happiness out of life, and makes life a little less worth living by her consistently shitty attitude. When not complaining, her drama and gossip will fill the void. He or she (but usually she) refuses to do something with a group, and will forego hanging out with said group unless they're doing something she wants to do. She will put her interest ahead of others every single time, just for the sake of being a bitch. A bitch hates fun.

  1. "Hey guys, sorry we can't check out that cool new Brazilian restaurant, Janet is being a bitch."

  2. A status you assume when you take one in the pooper while incarcerated.

  3. What you become when you fail at pool, bowling, Quake, english, math, Street Fighter Alpha, etc.

  4. Having a thankless job where you work lots of overtime without pay while your boss is on vacation.

  5. Having to sit in the middle seat between two people in a car or plane.

  6. Being last in line to get cake or ice cream at a party.

  7. Crying and throwing a tantrum about something nobody gives a shit about, including you.

  1. "I'm not going to give you $6 for my share of an $11 pizza when all I owe you is $5.50. I shouldn't have to pay extra, waaaaaah!"

  2. Having a high opinion of your looks and a sense of entitlement when people compliment you. Your ego is usually punctuated with a "hottie" shirt, which makes you slightly less tolerable to be around than children, and slightly more tolerable to be around than a saucer of goat cum.
Nothing screams "bitch" like wearing a shirt that says "too hot to care." Frankly, --> there's only one person in the world who's hot enough to wear a shirt like that, and her name is Maddilox:

Hello, my head is coming out of a giant vagina.

Yes, everyone thinks it looks like you have a giant vagina around your neck. It sounds hotter on paper than it actually is. I'm sure a man invented this style, because it's damn near impossible to think of a combination of heads and vaginas that isn't rad, but this shirt is proof that even an idea as inherently cool as giant vaginas and heads coming out of them can be made lame.
I came up with a design similar to this shirt when I was in first grade. My friend and I were drawing new Mega Man characters, and I drew a giant vagina, except in the middle was a giant eye so it kind of looked like a cyclops with a meaty head, and I called him VagEYEna Man. I sent it to Capcom, but I'm still waiting to hear back from them:

This makes you look pregnant:



I don't know what this style is called since every retailer comes up with their own "clever" name for it, so I'm just going to call them tit curtains because they look like curtains draped over your tits. You might as well be wearing a burka. It's one giant formless piece of cloth draped around your waist. There's a reason pregnant women wear clothes like this, and it's because it usually looks good on them in lieu of a beekeeper outfit. You're not pregnant, so cut that shit out.
What boggles my mind about tit curtains is that it's becoming trendy, right up there with Castro hats. I don't get it. If I had boobs, the last thing I'd want to do with them is cover them up with curtains, though I'd probably eventually cover them with curtains when I'd exhausted everything else (oil, soap, other boobs, my hands, the lid of a photocopy machine, the mouths of other lesbians, etc). Quit disrespecting your chest hams.

Packing Tips for Clothing

Travel friendly packing

  • Get organized: Lightweight travel packing cubes are a great way to keep your clothing organized. Available in a variety of sizes, packing cubes allow you to keep socks and underwear separate from shirts and toiletries. Many are made with a water-resistant fabric for added protection.
  • Be neat: Packing folders keep clothing neat and pressed while traveling. Some folders can hold up to 15 garments!
  • Avoid wrinkles: Another way to avoid wrinkles in your pants and dresses is by folding them at the knees. Try this technique: Place the top half of your pants and/or dresses inside your luggage with legs and/or bottom of the dress draped outside. When all garments are stacked inside your luggage, fold the bottom of the garments at the knees back into the luggage.
  • Smell fresh: Place a scented dryer sheet or incense bag in between a few layers of clothing while you're packing. Doing this will reduce "airplane smell" and will keep your clothes smelling fresh and clean during the entire trip.

Shirts


Travel friendly shirtAlways pack along a long-sleeve shirt, even if you're headed to a warm climate. Besides keeping you warm when it's cold, a long-sleeve shirt will protect you from intense sun or biting insects in a tropical environment. Some shopping considerations:
  • Knit shirts are available in crew, V-neck, polo and other styles. They are available in both cotton and high-performance fabrics. Cotton shirts are recommended only for casual activities because they lack the technical features to keep you comfortable during more vigorous pursuits.
  • Woven shirts typically button up the front. They are also available in cotton and high-performance fabrics. Some long-sleeve woven shirts have features such as mesh vents and roll-up tabs for short sleeves. These shirts often lack the stretch properties found in knit fabrics.
  • Fitness tops include short-sleeve shirts and tank tops in high-performance fabrics. Designed for aerobic activities, these shirts work well for travel, too, especially in warm climates because they wick moisture to keep you cool.
  • Performance underwear includes long-sleeve, high-performance polyester crewneck and zip-neck shirts. They make an excellent base layer for cold climates and are good for warm climates when it cools down at night.

Pants/Shorts/Skirts/Dresses


Travel friendly shortsShorts, skirts and dresses are the obvious choice when traveling to a warm or tropical destination. Inclement weather could happen anywhere, so bring a pair of pants, too. Wearing pants will also protect you from the sun and insects. And, as discussed above, you might need to wear them for cultural reasons.
Convertible pants have legs that zip off to turn into shorts. These are a great space-saving option and they're versatile enough for nearly any situation or climate.

Travel-Friendly Jackets

Travel friendly jacket

Heading to a potentially damp region? Stay dry and comfortable with waterproof/breathable (best) or water-resistant/breathable rainwear (good).
  • Waterproof/breathable shells such as Gore-Tex®, eVent® and REI Elements® are the best choice for a wide range of weather conditions and activities. Their combination of breathability and rain protection means you can buy a single shell for everything from summer breezes to winter storms. However, these jackets are more expensive than other types of rainwear, and they do have their limits, performance-wise.
  • Water-resistant/breathable shells repel light wind and precipitation while providing excellent breathability to keep you cool when your body heats up. They tend to be less bulky and less expensive than other shells. However, they are not waterproof enough to withstand extended periods of rain.

Children's Clothing - A New Trend in Modern Society

Children's Clothing - A New Trend in Modern Society
 
Modern society revolves around concepts such as beauty and originality, ideals that have been embraced and implemented by fashion designers worldwide. Undoubtedly, fashion has always been a powerful means of expression, as the way we dress reflects our cultural provenience, mentality, personality, and even our feelings. In addition, fashion has the great merit of combining practicality with aesthetics, and could be perceived as "a pragmatic form of art". Being influenced by many different cultural and social factors and permanently adapting to the needs and requirements of a continuously developing society, fashion has suffered a lot of radical changes over the course of time. During its ongoing process of evolution, it has generated many different styles and trends, revealing traits characteristic to each distinctive generation.
Despite the fact that it has created many tendencies and has evolved continuously in conformity with the society's ideals and needs, fashion has only recently begun to pay equal attention to all categories of age. Although they were generally neglected in the past by clothing manufacturers, children nowadays form an important segment of clients in the fashion industry, enjoying an extensive and varied range of clothing appropriate for their age. The children's clothing industry has only recently begun to achieve a good exposure and popularity, gaining a lot of ground over the past few years.
As the children's clothing industry was growing in popularity, more and more fashion designers decided to focus their work exclusively on designing clothes for young children and babies. Soon, the offer became more and more diversified, children's clothes gaining a lot in aspect and originality. Supermarkets and clothing stores began to fill up with ingenious and colorful clothing articles for children, lots of shops even specializing in exclusively selling children's clothes. In contrast to yesterday's children's clothes - poorly designed and, let's face it, quite dull - today's children's clothes are ingenious and appealing, stimulating their imagination and building their sense of aesthetics and beauty. Ranging from little boys' suits and little girls' accessorized dresses to cartoon-character costumes and even superhero outfits, children's clothes are nowadays created to adequately satisfy the needs and desires of the very young.
Visibly enjoying "the attention" granted to them by the fashion industry, lots of children nowadays spend more and more time looking for the most interesting and imaginative clothing items they can find. Mesmerized by so many clothing models, designs and colors, many children can hardly decide upon a single item in particular! As soon as they step inside children's clothing stores, children are immersed in a colorful and magnificent world, similar to the world created by toy stores. Funnily, lots of today's children equally enjoy paying visits to both children's clothing stores and toy stores - fact that reveals the young generations' interest towards clothes, and thus their inclination towards originality, aesthetics and sense of beauty.
Seen through the perspective of their prices in general, children's clothes have lately become increasingly more affordable. While a few years ago parents had to spend a small fortune to offer their children good-quality articles of clothing, nowadays they can buy appropriate clothes for considerably smaller sums of money. Several major factors that have led to the reduction of children's clothing prices are: substantial clothes imports, the appearance of many discount-shops on the market and the equal distribution of the merchandise between supermarkets and clothing stores.
Online stores have also had a great contribution to the depreciation of children's clothing prices, offering customers high-quality yet cheaper clothing articles. Children's clothing online stores have become very popular, as they provide customers with cost-effective alternatives to similar, shop-purchased products. Online stores offer clients the possibility to choose among hundreds of different clothing items such as boys' suits, boys' shirts and trousers, girls' dresses, girls' trousers, girls' capes, unisex clothing items, as well as various accessories such as ties, bows, shoes and booties - all categorized according to size and age. Apart from having affordable prices and an extensive offer, children's clothing online stores also allow customers to purchase their desired products online, thus helping them save time and effort.

The sexy-clothes trend

Swim girl
Clothes marketed to young kids often mix adult elements like padded tops with childlike flourishes like flowers or polka dots, a new study finds.


The sexy-clothes trend

Handwringing over the sexualization of young girls is a common theme both in the media and in the mall. In 2007, Wal-Mart pulled a pair of girls' underwear with the words "Who needs credit cards … " on the front and "when you have Santa" on the back from the shelves after parental outcry. Those extreme cases get people's ire up, said Sharon Lamb, a professor of mental health at the University of Massachusetts in Boston who was not involved in the research. But the trend is more insidious than single cases make it out to be, Lamb told LiveScience. [10 Surprising Sex Statistics]
"It's not just this most outrageous thing," said Lamb, author of "Packaging Girlhood: Rescuing Our Daughters From Marketer's Schemes" (St. Martin's Press, 2006). "It's a lot of subtle little things, too."
In 2007, Lamb was part of an American Psychological Association Task Force that reviewed the research on the consequences of sexualization for young girls. The task force found that girls who buy into sexualizing media messages are more likely to experience low self-esteem, depression and eating disorders. One 1998 study found that girls made body-conscious by wearing swimsuits while they did a math test in an empty room did worse on the test than girls completing the same test while wearing sweaters. There were no differences in test-taking performance between boys wearing swimsuits and boys wearing sweaters, suggesting a link between self-objectification and shame and anxiety in girls.
In one yet-unpublished study, Murnen and her research team asked volunteers to look at pictures of the same fifth-grader dressed in sexualized, childish-but-sexualized, or non-sexualized clothing. The adult volunteers viewed the sexualized version of the girl as less competent, less intelligent, less moral and less self-respecting.
"And she's a fifth-grade girl!" Murnen said. "The fact that they consider her less moral is really disturbing, as if we do blame her for her clothing choice."

Sweet Dreams

My daughter has taught me so much about sleep. Sometimes the lesson is that I can function without it, but mostly I respect sleep more than ever. Sleep is the time that our bodies nurture growth, fight off potential colds, and rejuvenate for a new day. If you're already back into the new year grind, can I make a suggestion? Go to bed early tonight. Your body, mind, and soul will thank you!
