FASHION FUNDAMENTALS: FASHION GLOSSARY

Be yourself. Everyone else is taken- Oscar wilde.

FASHION GLOSSARY

Boiler suits/Coveralls- a loose fitting garment covering the whole body except the head, hands, and feet. It's something similar to garments worn by labour workers. But of course, fashion has a way of revamping things.

Cummerbund- A cummerbund is a broad waist sash, usually pleated, which is often worn with single breasted dinner jackets or tuxedos. It can be with either a buckle attachment or an elasticized back. Some men choose one with lots of color, patterns or design to individualize it. However, it's important that your cummerbund coordinates with the rest of your outfit, your tie especially. In fact, matching cummerbunds and ties are quite common.

FASHION GLOSSARY: Faux Fur Scarves/Stoles

A Faux Fur Scarf/Stole is one accessory you might wanna consider adding to your wardrobe this season (Fall/Winter). It’s a nice way to add detail to your outfit (rather than going for the usual scarves and shawls) and also keep yourself warm in the process. Two wins! They come in several colors, so feel free to explore your options.

See how some of our Skimmy Skims have styled theirs.

Thanks for stopping by....

Fashion Glossary

Sartorial- relating to tailoring or tailored clothing e.g sartorial elegance, sartorial splendor.

Tie bar/clip- A tie clip (also called tie slide, tie bar, or tie clasp) is a clothing accessory that is used to clip a tie to the underlying shirt front, preventing it from swinging and ensuring that the tie hangs straight, resulting in a neat, uniform appearance.

Wearing a tie clip that extends beyond the width of your tie just won't do it. Take note.

They come in different forms and designs. See picture below.

I like how the glasses type was used here....
