It took a while, but my Huffington Post Stylelist piece on bloggers wearing peplums is live. Check out the slideshow and leave a nice comment for the participants! CLICK HERE TO READ THE STORY ON HUFFINGTON POST While I was working on the post, I browsed the Internets for eye-catching peplums. These are a few [...]

My “Never Is the Next New Thing™” fashion theory states that the most provocative/grating/startling looks — the ones that make you say, “I would NEVER wear that!” — are the ones most likely to become trends, big or small. I had my own “Never Is the Next New Thing™ fashion moment in July when, three [...]

Demure is back for fall and spring, declared Christina Binkley in “The Real Housewives,” the lead story in the Off Duty section of the weekend’s Wall Street Journal. “The most startling thing about women’s fashion right right now is how perfectly not-startling it is,” Binkley wrote. “June Cleaver would approve: skirts swish about the shins, [...]

A couple of years ago, I bought a 1980s Patrick Kelly dress on eBay. When it arrived, I was surprised that it was a knit. A big, formless knit. I brought the dress to Jean at Ghost Tailor for alterations, then stuck it in my closet until I felt I could cope with a disappointing [...]

This is a big week for my Never Is the Next New Thing™ fashion theory: I’ve posted on high/low hemlines (aka mullets), gold teeth, and now toe shoes. In 2008, I looked askance at “cameltoe” shoes by Martin Margiela. I thought that I’d never wear anything so ugly. Within a couple of weeks, I felt [...]

Be warned! If you tell me that you’re wearing a style that’s on my radar, I’m going to demand pictures, as I did with two gorgeous friends recently. Former blogger ENC read my Huffington Post piece on high/low hemlines, aka mullets, and volunteered that she had a mullet sweater. I was very excited to see [...]

Before stylists and goddess gowns took over, there were a lot of eye-popping fashions at the Oscars. One dress that regularly turns up on everyone’s all-time worst-dressed list is Geena Davis’s 1992 short-in-the-front, long-in-the-back “mullet” dress. After that, mullet dresses were stamped with a big “NEVER!” in my mind, and if you’ve been reading my [...]

How many times have I heard women moan that they can’t wear maxi dresses or skirts? Too many. If you can wear a floor-length wedding, prom or evening gown — and anyone can, no matter what her height — that means you can wear floor-length, period. It just has to be the right cut to [...]

I found my own red-pants photo too late for yesterday’s post on red-legged bloggers, so it gets a special post. This was taken in Prague in 1999 or so. I’m a little demoralized to see how long I’ve been dependent on black t-shirts. I had those pants in black too. I gave away the red [...]

Ever since knickers showed up on my Never is the Next New Thing™ radar, I’ve been keeping an eye out for more examples. I already found a very wearable pair by J Brand. More recently, I noticed these Dolce & Gabbana pants from The Outnet. At first, I found the military details to be over [...]
