When it comes to plaits, the possibilities are endless, you can even make it into a beautiful headband with your hair down, or you can even make two front braids for a more youthful look, make it into a dramatic yet messy updo or lose your tresses free with just a single side braid for a romantic look.

You can also give these braids a little extra oomph with ribbons, flowers, bows and other accessories to give them a perfectly romantic look. The most common these days is the single side braid with messy hair that looks casual yet stylish. Celebrities like Jessica, Mandy and Lindsay seems to be so much adoring these little braids that we can guarantee this is the hottest thing of the season!

But for every day wear, we can’t be as dramatic as fashion shows, so we can just stick a little sweet yet messy braid like headband or like side braids, plus it would be sweeter if you just add a flower or some pearls in your braid.

You got the clue, now put your creative hat on and twist your hair into small little braids to give yourself a chic bohemian appeal!


Men go wacky with Milan Fashion Week Trends

Hitherto we only thought that fashion plays much important role in a woman’s life than men, in grand fashion weeks, they it was always the female models to provide the eye candy with bear skins and exposed beauties. However, Milan Fashion Week, with its spring 2011 collection has changed a lot in the world of fashion.

Milan Fashion Week came with a blast of unusual men trends, which were a little too much to digest. Usually men’s fashion doesn’t change much apart from the little variations in colors and cuts, but Milan Fashion Week Spring 2011 was a little different one.

It was more about flaunting masculinity which rather looked less manly! The bare display of abs, legs and nipples took the fashion week to an entirely different level. Read to amuse yourself with five wackiest of men’s trends at Milan Fashion Week Spring 2011.

Crop Tops

Calvin Klein came up with macho men pimped up in cropped tops (a T-shirt with lower portion cut off) which showed off their lower sexy abs. Well, if I were a man, I would’ve preferred to remain undressed rather than wearing those wacky cropped shirts, which rather seemed to make fun of masculinity.

Monokinis

Monokini is topless swimsuit which includes only bikini bottom without a bikini top. Women’s swimwear fashion shows create a lot of buzz and excitement because of their extra hot chilli appeal but sexy swimsuits for men! Well ask Armani, who presented a collection of monokinis at Milan Fashion Week Spring 2011. Quite unusual!

Meggings

Hmm, this one has got brojo! Meggings is a kind of leggings for men, worn under shorts, and this is among spring 2011 men’s fashion trends. But it’s quite less wacky then crop shirts! Created by Emporio Armani, this trend seems to be hybrid version of jeans and leggings.

Sheer

I thought sheer was only for women, but Milan Fashion Week Spring 2011 proved me wrong and presented a sexy collection of sheer lace shirts that looked appealing. Boys at Etro Spring runway show were going all naughty with sheer shirts. Girls hold your breath!

Floral Prints

Floral prints also made their entry at D&G Spring 2011 runway show. In girls, floral prints add to their charm and youthfulness, but in boys, what do they enhance? Umm, let’s ask Domenico Dolce and Stefano Gabbana!
