When women consider a swimming suit and a hat for the beach wear, then the situation should be corrected completely. Not all the women are satisfied with their shapes which are exposed to everybody's attention at beaches in summer lying on the hot sand. Many of them appear at the beach just for a little swimming keeping their porcelain skin instead of having chocolate tan.  And yet, there is the beach fashion that exists there which is too versatile to conform to just getting the apparel and details at the store. This is too caprice fashion and there is no excuse to refuse from it.

Recently most men prefer following fashion trends and they are more keen on trendy wear than ever before when they used to change their upper clothes once a week or so. However, with their tendency to look more eye-catching, sexual and seducing, men stay conservative in regards to their underwear. Men prefer to believe that women should wear sexual and beautiful lingerie and in the meantime they opt for the comfortable and simple underwear.

The XX century proves to be the cradle where various styles originated from. And in the end of the century before last all those tendencies originated which are used by many fashion designers till now. The fashion of the XX century did not manage without revolutionary inventions and first couturiers were revealed due to those brave and courageous actions.

Most current trends barely last through two or three seasons - as we know, fashion is so transient that only a few items of clothing can survive in the wardrobe of fashion-conscious women for several successive years. The women's military fashion trend isn't going anywhere, though like all true fashion trends, in 2010 the military trend will evolve. Gone (but not quite) are the decadent lashings inspired by military uniforms of the Georgian and Victorian eras. Rather, military is now about functionality and utility. If the 18th and 19th centuries originally inspired women's military fashion, then it's true to say that in 2010 it's inspired by the military uniforms of the 20th century.

Every year, swimwear is getting an inch closer to ‘not being there'. A couple of centuries ago, champions of public morals were probably clamoring the loss of virtue in sight of modest bathing suits that actually looked like clothes, and not threads. However, this is to be expected: fashion evolves by its own rules, and what is now considered the norm, a century ago would have caused an outrage. Especially when it comes to bathing suit which over the years has undergone multiple transformations - probably more than any other article of clothing.

In the history of fashion, Hubert de Givenchy will forever remain a champion of style and true aristocracy.

«Fashions are fleeting, style is forever» - this quote is attributed to the legendary Coco Chanel, who managed to create her own unique style and revolutionize fashion on the way.

Irrespective of the period when they were created, designs by the world-famous brand Balenciaga have been too bold and avant-garde for their time. Not explicitly provoking or overpowered by vivid colors, rich fabrics or abundant detail, they are nevertheless very complex to perceive. There is no refinement of Dior, simple and elegant lines of Chanel, or frivolous affectation of Jean-Paul Gaultier - their trademark styles which make them instantly recognizable. Balenciaga is a brand that has inspired generations of designers with its unique style which masterfully combines hardcore metallic futurism, space courreges, clean-cut geometry, and the royal splendor.

Big handbags, such as totes, satchels and hobo bags, which have been in for several seasons now, should not be flashy or cluttered with detail, as their size is balanced by the simple design. These bags are first and foremost functional and are designed for carrying all the essentials you may need during the day - your cell phone, keys, wallet, notebook, makeup and other stuff. Purses, on the other hand, are totally different. Clutches, minaudieres, petite fancy-shaped cases where you can hardly squeeze in your phone and keys can be a playground for designer experiments, as their main purpose is to complement an outfit and draw attention to its holder.

First decades of the 20-th century were densely packed with fateful events that shaped the course of history: World War I, the Socialist Revolution in Russia and the subsequent deposition of the Romanovs and the formation of the Soviet Union, and the Great Depression. When people felt the negative impact of the Great Depression, designers stopped experimenting because of the lessened demand for clothes.

Regardless of the fact that the boundaries between the sexes in fashion become increasingly blurred every year, you have to be very careful when picking this accessory in order to balance individuality and style.
