08 Jul 11 Why Classic Jeans and T-shirts Always Look Great
Jeans and t-shirts can be worn at any time, for any occasion. Well almost, maybe turning up for a wedding in this combo wouldn’t be ideal but most of the time whether you are going out for a nice meal or doing your weekly food shop, jeans and t-shirts rock. It is a trend that is particularly popular with the younger generation and while this differs massively to generations before them, it is now a widely acceptable look.
What Makes It Appealing?
So, what is it about jeans and t-shirts being worn together that appeals so much to today’s youth? It’s simple, in 2011 it’s cool to be casual.
- Jeans are very versatile: They can go from casual to smart with the addition of some simple accessories such as heels, belts or bags and the same can be done with a t-shirt
- T-shirts always look cool: While oversized, scruffy t-shirts are generally a fashion faux pas, t-shirts that fit well around the chest, neck and arms can look great with a nice pair of jeans
- They are ideal for men and women, boys and girls
- People of all ages and from all over the world can pull the look off
- It suits people of any size
The ease of throwing on a nice t-shirt eliminates the hassle of spinning around in front of the mirror 15 times to see exactly how your top fits before you leave the house is a great feeling. Pair a t-shirt this with some stylish jeans and you can accessorise accordingly depending on what the occasion is. The jeans and t-shirt combo allows teenagers to be lazy with their fashion statements while still looking great.
When Can You Wear Jeans and T-Shirt Combos?
Funerals, weddings, operas and some work meetings are out of bounds for jeans and t-shirts but almost everything else is fine. You can wear them for shopping, going to church, work, taking the kids to school without embarrassing them, taking the dog for a walk and you can even wear them around the house doing the housework. You can also wear them when you go out for a nice meal by jazzing the outfit up with a nice belt and, for women a cute pair of heels. A night on the town is another great time to use your accessories to make your outfit sparkle.
A Modern Look?
Jeans and t-shirts are most definitely a modern combination, as for many generations the combo was seen of as being untidy rather than trendy. While it may have been acceptable to wear as a casual outfit around the house or during a trip to the park, it certainly wouldn’t have been a chosen outfit to wear out to dinner. This shift in trends may be down to the accessory-craze that ensures that you can make any outfit look great if you simply team it up with different accessories.
Jeans and t-shirts are a wonderful way to dress casually without looking like you didn’t bother to dress properly once you got out of the shower. As long as they fit well, are well-made and clean, this classic casual outfit can be worn by almost anyone, anywhere, at any time!

With Christmas over for another year and New Year’s resolutions being made not to be broken, UNIQLO have created a perfect shape trouser collection sure to accentuate and lengthen your legs in all the right places, ideal for the detox season.

03 Aug 10 Autumn Fashion
With summer now in full swing, everyone is shaking the dust out of their shorts and taking to the beach in the latest swimwear, but what lies ahead for the fashion-conscious among us in autumn 2010? The world of fashion is always thinking one season ahead and with autumn not too far away, many are planning their new wardrobes now in order to ensure autumn fashion expertise!
The Never-ending Appeal of Denim
Jeans are synonymous with fashion – whatever the year and whatever the season; jeans are one of the very few items of clothing that never goes out of fashion. From skinny and boot cut through to hipsters and flares – jeans are always in demand. Autumn 2010 will be a delight for all jeans fans as various new and innovative ideas hit the stores to give leaner and sexier lines to those who want to flaunt their legs in denim.
Denim Leggings: A new range of jeans are taking to the shops this autumn in the shape of something called Denim Leggings. They are made from super-stretchy material that fit tighter than skinny jeans giving a long and lean look from hip to ankle. Colours will include acid blue, indigo, camel, black and charcoal and Denim Leggings look set to be the must-have in autumn fashion 2010.
Keeping Cool in Wool
Autumn is one of those seasons that people are free and able to experiment with fashions. The summer can be restrictive to cool and light clothing while the winter ensures that heavy, heat-retaining clothes are the only option but in autumn there are fewer constraints making it a fun time to try new things.
Cashmere clothes are similar to jeans in the way that they always hold a fresh appeal to the fashion world and therefore they always make for a great investment as they can be worn season after season. Wool clothes are usually worn as jumpers or cardigans and they are the ideal way to play around with colour to add a little pizzazz to an otherwise plain outfit. Pair up jeans with a soft cashmere jumper in golden yellow or leggings with an oversized olive green woollen jumper and your look will be as cool as it is fashionable.
Cashmere clothes: Wool clothes offer warmth and comfort without excess weight and cashmere in particular feels smooth and sexy to the touch. Cardigans in colours such as rich blue and deep purple are set to be huge hits in autumn fashion 2010 and chequered patterns are also set to be a popular choice.
Autumn Colours, Trends and Styles
- Purple looks set to be adorned on every supermodel gracing catwalks around the world this autumn as a range of regal tones will be used by designers the world over.
- Deep reds, warm olives, golden hues, rich blues and the classical neutral tones will be used while skin tight jeans with light cashmere clothes will make the ultimate autumn fashionista out of anyone!
- Forget the usual autumnal colours of oranges and browns and replace them with intense richness.
- Ditch suede and harsh materials and put on smooth cashmere clothing and jeans with a difference for the ultimate autumn fashion look.
Accessorising will be as popular as ever with funky bracelets, leather wrist bands, dangly silver earrings and over sized necklaces set to be popular ways to jazz up otherwise simple outfits of jeans and jumpers. Handbags at the ready for autumn 2010 and be sure to get them in opposite shades to your chosen clothing with black handbags pairing up perfectly with purple outfits and vice versa.
Autumn fashion UK will be as unique and empowering as fashion aficionados could dream of and with stores around the world, it’s now easier than ever to keep up to date with the latest fashions without breaking the bank.
