Dear Clio,
SAN JOSE, Calif. — SAN JOSE, Calif. (AP) — The Silicon Valley has had a men's fashion problem dating back to its founders.
From their inception, tech companies went out of their way to be different — and that meant no more business suits. Thus brilliant innovations took place in the dumpiest of outfits as leather sandals, elastic-waist jeans and old T-shirts became ubiquitous.
But that's changing as a younger generation of engineers and designers have arrived seeking clothes that coordinate.
When a PeopleStyleWatch.com editor first tried on this faux leather design, she dubbed it the “shapewear of pencil skirts.” Because, in addition to looking chic and being super-versatile (it’s office-friendly and date-ready), the skirt has this shapewear-esque way of holding everything in and making anyone who wears it look slimmer and smoother.
Eliminated contestant Alexandra had earned her way back into the competition on "America's Next Top Model," but she wasn't doing much better her second time around. The judges called her out for her lackluster performance in her first photoshoot back. You'd think a second chance would motivate you to give more energy, but that wasn't the case.
This fall, jackets are motorcycle chic. And from Burberry Brit's quilted style to Rebecca Minkoff's olive version, there's an option for everyone (even wannabes and vegans). Click through the gallery ahead for those and 17 others, plus three leatherheads spotted on the streets of New York on why they love the look.
My husband and I get up at 5:30 every morning to begin the day. We dawdle over coffee and the news and then go to our respective bathrooms to get ready for work. It takes my husband 30 minutes to shower, shave, brush his teeth and dress -- and that includes styling his hair and knotting a tie. Me? Let's say I need a good hour.
Weather (get it?) we like it or not, rainy season is upon us. And that means it’s time for umbrellas, boots, jackets, and hoods... Sigh.
The warm weather is disappearing and turning wet fast, but that doesn't mean your look has to suffer. Why can’t we have it all?
Good news: there is, in fact, some rain gear out there that is both functional and on trend. So let the rain fall, eh? With this list, you’ll be as stylish as you are dry.
When Prince Harry goes on tour, the whole world watches... especially the women he visits. Britain's most playful royal headed to Australia this weekend, where local papers eagerly awaited a meeting between Harry and Prime Minister Tony Abbott's attractive young daughters.
