PUNK IT UP WITH SUNGLASS HUT

0
0

The trend ‘Punk’ was created from a spirit of rebellions and this meant the start of going against the grain of the status quo.  It was a form of dressing for ones freedom of expression through threads or details and has since become one of the most influential trends around the world.  Since its birth, fashion forward folks have been embracing this punk rock trend by adding little edgy details to their daily looks, like studs, zippers, pins, piercings and dark to light hair colours, mixing pink and black and sending out a statement that says “we do not have to conform”.

desktop.top-img

Although the punk trend has always been brought forward in a very angst and dark way, in September this year, we will align a new and modern reinterpretation of punk with the trend “Punk Avantgarde”.  Punk Avantgarde will bring the original punk trend back to life with a fresher and more modern twist by contrasting different elements and blending them together.  This will include mixing angst with elegance, cheap with sophistication and soft with spiky.

As one of the world’s most inspirational brands for the best in trend right sunnies, we are the season’s top destination for the stylish fashion forward folks from around the world to leave their mark with a unique style statement. Just as the right pair of fabulous sunglasses can put an exclamation mark on one’s personal style, a tad bit of the punk attitude can punk up even the most ordinary of days.

 

Punk style is a bold reflection of independence and an expression of the self. Be true to yourself in iconic looks from Ray-Ban.

So pair you cute embroidered T with denim shorts or skirt, wear a cute embroidered bag or try an embroidered espadrille with your summer maxi’s. Here are some key pieces you can pick up now and incorporate into your wardrobe.

SHOP SPRING AT SUPERBALIST


CHASING SKIRTS

0
0

From the 70’s inspired, through to the full skirt, and the skater skirts, skirts are popping up in all major retailers, on catwalks and on the high street. The beauty of this garment is how versatile it is. In fact, skirts are always a top seller in different shapes or lengths.

Lara Butlion, head of retail at Superbalist.com, says the skirt is the go to piece this spring. “Skirts are a transitional investment piece: great for hot summer days; can be teamed with a denim jacket on cooler nights; and pulled through to winter with some clever layering. From a trend perspective, skirts can be found everywhere. In addition to the 70’s skirts everyone is talking about at the moment, we have plenty of other style options on offer from top international and local brands like Glamorous, The Lot, New Look and Vero Moda on Superbalist, with the skater skirt shape flying off the racks in our warehouses.”

 Here are the five skirt trends to embrace this season:

-        The 70’s button down mini skirt – falling mid-thigh or slightly shorter, you’ll long for Woodstock and free-love when wearing this skirt with soft floral blouses.

-        The skater skirt in unusual fabrics – PVC, leather and other slightly stiffer fabrics give the skater skirt a new edge. They look amazing teamed with dark tights and come with a 90’s attitude.

-        The full midi-skirt – fitted at the waist with a full skirt, this is a romantic skirt that celebrates all things feminine. But don’t be fooled, wear a pair of heels for something sexier and prepare to strut your stuff at night.

-        The tulle skirt – we credit this trend to Carrie Bradshaw of Sex and the City. Layers and layers of soft mesh / tulle will have you dancing down the sidewalks. They look amazing with crop tops and sneakers!

-        The pop / floral skater skirts – printed fabrics offer another take on the skater skirt. Cartoon fabrications are hot in Asia at the moment, especially when paired with interesting jewellery and high top sneakers. Locally, floral skirts are still very popular.

 

 Clear PVC Circle Skirt – American Apparel

Looking for a skirt that makes a serious statement? Try this clear black PVC piece for a show stopping look. Make it part of a slick, all-black outfit, or pair it with brights for a ravey look that’s all about early 90s attitude.

Sandy Skirt – Glamorous

Add some romance to your skirt collection with this pale blue number. Fitted at the waist thanks to the zip up back, it has a flared silhouette, which adds to the fairytale feel. Keep it edgy by pairing it with some white platform sneakers and a fitted crop top.

Screen Shot 2015-09-14 at 3.55.28 PM

Tutu Tulle Skirt – Glamorous

Have your Sex & The City moment with this romantic navy tutu. Featuring lashing of layered mesh, it also has an elasticized waistband and a high-waisted fit. Wear it with some sneakers and a fitted crop top.

Screen Shot 2015-09-14 at 3.56.49 PM

Spot and Flower Skirt – Dahlia

Adorned with an oriental blossom pattern, this eye-catching skater skirt also features a polka dot design, which lends it a playful touch. Constructed to sit comfortably on the waist, it has an A-line silhouette and a hidden back zip. Keep things light-hearted (and ultra stylish) by pairing it with the matching top.

There are so many new trends to try this season, but sometimes all you want is to just slip on a stylish dress without thinking too hard about it and just head on out the door. We have the piece: shift dresses. No longer limited to corporate environments, weddings or conservative events, the shift dress has taken a fun, retro and understated turn with simplicity being the name of its game.

Add some cute sandals or your fave pair of sneaks, lots of arm accessories and a clutch and you’re ready to go! Here are some of the shift dresses we’re obsessing over:

10 SIGNS YOU MAY BE WEARING THE WRONG BRA SIZE

0
0

HR_GettyImages-80489355

(Image: Getty)

During your life, your bra size will change a couple of times. Factors like weight loss and gain, medication, contraceptive pills, pregnancy and menopause all affect breast size, so it’s important to make sure you’re wearing the right size (cup and band width) for your current shape.

Majority of women think they’re wearing the right bra size but they’re either a size too big or a size too small. Check out this list to identify whether or not you’re wearing the right bra size:

 

1. Your straps keep falling down. 

First, tighten them a bit. They might have stretched out in the wash. If your straps keep slipping even after you adjust them, they aren’t being supportive.

 

2. You have spill over the top, sides, or bottom of the cups.

 If you have the dreaded Quadruple Boob, it’s time to change your size.

 

3. Your cups are baggy.

 When you have a gap between your bra and your boob, it means you need to go down a size or two.

 

4. You wear your bra on the last hook. 

Your bra should sit most comfortable on the middle hook with your last hook being your option for that time of the month of for when your bra stretches over time.

 

5. Your band rides up in the back.

Your bra should be sitting comfortably and perfectly horizontal across your back. If it’s riding up at the back even with adjusted straps, you need to upsize your bra.

 

6. You have dents on your shoulders.

Your bra is all about support, regardless the size of your boobs. So if your bra straps are digging into your shoulders, it means the bra’s band isn’t giving you the support it should and instead your straps are doing all the work.

 

7. The centre of your bra is lifted off your chest.

If the middle piece between your cups (aka the gore) is lifted off of your chest instead of sitting flat on your chest, you need to go up a size.

 

8. The underwire in your bra pokes you.

Sometimes our bras stab us in the heart with their wires. Sometimes it’s just because it’s because of wear and tear, and sometimes it’s because your cup size is too small.

 

9. You have back bulge. 

You’ll be happy to know that it really isn’t you, it’s your bra. It’s too tight and its squeezing your skin. Yip, you guessed it, time to upsize.

 

10.You neck or back hurts. 

This one came as a surprise to us as well-neck or back pain from improper support from your intimate? Now that’s something nobody got time for.

 

Most lingerie stores offer free bra fitting, including Woolworths. Set some time apart to go for a fitting, and get the support you need.
