Seeing Red: You Can’t Be Mad at This Week’s Romantic Looks

Normally, when we think of the color red, words that might come to mind are along the lines of “passion”, “action”, or “anger”. Color psychology associated with red represents “our most physical needs and our will to survive. It exudes a strong and powerful masculine energy.”

But, let us introduce you to the softer side of red. This look has been spotted multiples over the last week, especially at Cannes. Florals, naval stripes, and hints of nude and blush have been keeping things romantic, feminine, and, dare we say, soft?

Red is a classic color that never goes out of style, but with its current popularity, now is the perfect time to design something of your own in the timeless shade.

Here are just a few examples of how you can achieve this style with MyWear®:

Stripes: The Perfect Companion for Your MyWear® Line this Summer

As we’ve reported a few times now, stripes have been quietly elevating their status from classic wardrobe staple to one of 2016’s biggest trends. We saw this budding as early as last year, gaining traction through early 2016, and now;  they’ve officially hit their trending tipping point:

stripes 2016 trending 2016 trends

Stripes are easy to create, compliment other prints (think polka dots or floral pattern mixing), and go well with multiple colors and styles. Simply put, they’re perfect for incorporating into your MyWear® designs this summer!

coral black stripes dress

To design your own in Photoshop, use the rectangular marquee tool to select the size stripe you want. Then, use the paint bucket tool to fill in the selected area with a desired color. Repeat! Copy and paste your stripe design for an ongoing pattern.

Want to switch it up with a new color scheme, you chameleon, you? No problem! Use the Hue/Saturation dial located in adjustments to give a quick color change!

As mentioned above, pattern mixing is a cinch with stripes, just remember to use at least one matching or complimentary color!

Most importantly, have fun and infuse your own personality into this classic!

Kate Middleton’s Boho Chic Style & This Week’s Best in Bohemian Dresses

Spring is in the air, and unsurprisingly, so are floral dresses! Soft and airy dresses in floral prints really aren’t a new concept. Heck, it’s been a spring stable for close to a century. But, this spring, floral has an especially strong hold on our hearts. Exhibit A. Kate Middleton’s tour of India:

Oh, just another day playing cricket or feeding a baby rhino in a stunning bohemian gown; delicate, globally-inspired jewelry; and effortless, perfectly-waved hair. Kate Middleton is living the dream.

10 MyWearStores We Want to See

lady gagaLady Gaga     These days, no one merges the worlds of fashion, art, and music quite like Lady Gaga. Love it or hate it, her style is always memorable, imaginative, and conceptual. We’re not certain what her MyWearStore would consist of (meat? Teacups? Fishnets??) The only thing we’re sure of is that it wouldn’t get lost in a crowd, just like Mother Monster herself!

Rupaul

rupual side x sideRuRaul is glorious in all forms and pronouns! From his one-of-a-kind, custom suits to her elaborate, jaw-dropping gowns, RuPaul packs a serious punch of positivity and thoughtfulness to whatever he does (and wears). We imagine his store being full of form-fitting, cheerful apparel in poppy colors.

Beyoncé

bey_12

Because, duh.

Yayoi KusamaYayoi Kusama      Japanese born writer and mind-blowing multi-media artist Yayoi Kusama’s  collection would not disappoint. We could probably expect her MyWearStore to feature lots of psychedelic colors, trippy never-ending prints, and patterns that rival a Magic Eye book.

Prince

princeSure, there’s a high likelihood that Prince’s MyWearStore would have some purple garb, maybe some skin-tight bell bottoms. But, we’re also guessing he’d surprise us with a few items. If his MyWearStore were anything like the contents in his fridge, we’d be in for a slightly confusing and delightful treat. 18 shades of mustard tunics perhaps?

jayden smithJaden Smith       Jaden Smith is another trend setter that’s waaay ahead of his time. Not only is Jaden’s style elevated well beyond his 17 years, it’s also pushing ahead of society’s current fashion norms. The tunic he wore to prom being just one example.  We imagine him designing a MyWear® line of unisex clothing in futuristic colors and sustainable materials.

Bjork

BJORK-master675

Bjork is so much more than that dang swan dress. Similarly to how she uses her voice, fashion is a tool for pure artistic expression. Although we can’t predict what her collection might look like, we could almost guarantee it would be awe-inspiring, just like her!

janelle monaeJanelle Monáe       It’s easy to imagine Janelle’s MyWearStore being filled with a plethora of fun suits and black and white attire, but it’s the story behind her style that’s the most inspiring:

“When I started my musical career, I was a maid,” “My parents, my mother was a proud janitor. My stepfather, who raised me like his very own, worked at the post office and my father was a trash man — they all wore uniforms. And that’s why I stand here today in my black and white and I wear my uniform to honor them.”

Janelle also reminds the media and those who criticize her suited style that she’s “not for male consumption”, encouraging girls to “embrace what makes you unique, even if it makes others uncomfortable.”

Beth DittoBeth Ditto      Beth Ditto is another style chameleon, but one element of her fashion remains consistent: Her looks are always fearless, creative, and inspired. We know her MyWearStore would be an extension of her already amazing sense of style: unexpected, fun, and unapologetic.

Marina Marina Abramović      Marina is arguably the most famous performance artist of our time. Possibly less know, though, is her passion for fashion. It wasn’t until after her piece The Great Wall Walk (and a heartbreaking breakup) that she began to embrace fashion, but since then, Marina has become a style icon in her own right, even co-art directing for Givenchy. Although we’re not sure what statement Marina would make with her MyWearStore, we’re sure her marriage of art and fashion would be a show stopper.

Personalized Clothing Made Easy with MyWearStore.com

Custom clothing has long been associated with celebrities and the wealthy. And for good reason! The cost to create clothing in custom designs, fabrics, and sizes is incredibly expensive. At the very least, it would involve purchasing the perfect fabric and hiring a seamstress that could pattern the piece of clothing and tailor it to your body. Not surprisingly, this sort of thing is out of the ordinary, if not out of the question for most of us. At least it was, until now…
