The Millenium’s Clothing Craze: Velour Tracksuits
Modern fashion sees trends come and go regularly but some manage to become staples by being popular for a long time. Denim jeans are the most notable trend turned staple in recent decades. The newest trend which is proving that it has staying power is the velour tracksuit.
Unlike other trends, shops continue to stock velour tracksuits season to season. It has enjoyed seasons of popularity in the past however this time they have been around for a couple of years already. This is an age in the fashion world.
Celebrities were the first to bring velour tracksuits into the mainstream. Britney spears dressed her bridesmaids in custom stitched pink velour tracksuits. Then footballer’s wives took on the trend during international competitions.
On the high street they have become popular with everyone. They combine comfort and style which makes them a favourite. But you need to make sure that the tracksuit you wear is made of good quality velour. When it is washed it should keep its shape. Also; you do not want the colour to fade during washing. If the material is less than the best the tracksuit will end up looking more chavvy than stylish.
If you do not want to look like mutton dressed as lamb, adults should stick to darker colours. Avoid any pinks, greens and light blues. Navy, dark grey, brown and black are flattering.
On the other hand, children look brilliant in bright colours. Some parents struggle with finding clothes for their daughters which are comfy and practical whilst being stylish. With a velour tracksuit you combine all three. Children like wearing them because they are so easy to pull on and get off before and after swimming and other popular activities.
So with this in mind, take a look at tracksuits offered by different retailers. Some will be better quality than others. If they specialise in velour clothing you are on to a winner. The tracksuits should be reasonably priced, do not pay over £60 for a tracksuit otherwise you are paying for the trend and not the clothing. Spending too little on the other hand will leave you with a shoddy piece of clothing.
In the past it was usually the outfit that you were going to wear that was important and what most women would concentrate on. Women typically only owned a few dress shoes that were in neutral tones that would be worn with various outfits. Handbags were similar in that youoften had a few bags that you rotated during the winter and summer months to go with your neutral shoes. Many people would do black or brown shoes and bags in the winter and white shoes and bags in the summer. Today those rules no longer apply and accessories have taken precedence as the outfits have become a bit more neutral. There are various items you can purchase regarding handbags like purse organizers or a purse organizer to keep your purse organized all the way to closet hooks to hold your purses. Shoes have become front and center as well where now people shoe shop and then find the outfit afterward to match the shoes.
The style of handbags have changed over the years as trends come and go similar with fashion. There are currently a greater number of handbag designers that succeeding than clothing designers. This was unheard of ten years ago. Not only has the popularity of purses grown but the size of purses has also gotten bigger. Several women carry handbags today that could most likely fitseven days worth of clothing in it if theywanted. This is thecurrent fashion trend and most likely will appear outdated in a fewyears when you look back on it. The sizes and shapes of purses have frequently changed over the years. Evening bags used to becovered in sequins with a skinny strap buttoday the popular leather clutches are a favorite evening bag. The trends rotate every 25 years also with the fringed suede bags of the 70’s hippie era are now being sold again in the twenty something group of women.
Shoes are now in the forefront of fashionas well. The importance of the designer shoe took center stage with the showing of the HBO show “Sex in the City” . At the starting scenes of every show, the main character, Carrie isshown window shopping and stops in front of ashoe store looking at a pair of shoes with such love and admiration no one everthought possible for an inanimate object. Carrie and her girlfriends usually discussed their love of shoes and really catapulted them into the fashion world. One point women often make is that clothing does not always fit particularly if you put on weight but shoes always fit. The rules of matching shoes with your purse no longer apply and the more crazy your shoes, the better. Many people now decide to wear a basic white tee and jeans so they can showcase their shoes and theirpursesinstead. It is no longer just the clothes but the accessories are amain staple of fashion as well.
