Black Bridesmaid Dresses

There was an age old taboo against wearing black in a wedding. These days, black bridesmaid dresses have become very common, aside from in the most conservative or traditional families. As popular as they are, black bridesmaid dresses do present special questions, most notably, how to make them appear festive instead of somber. These are some of the best ways to make black dresses work beautifully for bridesmaids.

Before choosing black for your bridesmaids, or any other color, for that matter, consider a few basic things. The colors and lighting of the ceremony venue are important to think about, as are the location and time of day. Black dresses would look chic for an 8pm wedding in Manhattan, but out of place for a 1pm ceremony on a farm. Also give some thought to how black bridesmaid dresses will combine with the other colors you want for your wedding, especially the flowers. Dark purple flowers, for instance, would tend to blend in with black dresses, but brighter bouquets like red would stand out nicely.

One of the main reasons to choose a black bridesmaid dress is that it will probably make your bridesmaids happy (your mother, well, maybe not so much). It certainly is the color that is most likely to be worn again, as every woman can use a few "little black dresses" in her wardrobe, whereas the coral and turquoise number might end up languishing in the back of her closet. Since the idea is that they will be able to wear them again, give serious consideration to allowing each bridesmaid to select the little black dress of her choosing within set parameters like knee length or strapless. As a bonus, if your attendants are friends, they will not have to worry about both showing up in the same black dress to a party sometime after the wedding!

Black is by its nature, somber, yet weddings are supposed to be festive and joyous. Balance out the darkness of black bridesmaid dresses with flowers and accessories that add color or texture. When the dresses are short, you can have some fun with the shoes. Remember that the strappier the shoe is, the more wild the color can be without overpowering the entire outfit. Chartreuse, cobalt blue, and pink are all fun options. Be wary of red shoes which tend to make too bold a statement. Metallic neutrals are always pretty for bridesmaid shoes. Let each attendant choose her favorite pair of shoes in silver, gold, or bronze, for a style that will enhance both the bridesmaid dress and her shoe collection in general.

Customized sets of bridesmaid jewelry are another fantastic way to liven up black bridesmaid dresses. Sparkly crystal bridesmaid jewelry sets are ideal for evening weddings. Either go with classic clear crystals, or make a splash with crystals in your wedding colors. Don't overlook what you can be done with wedding hair accessories, either. A brightly colored flower in the hair for an outdoor wedding or a sleek satin headband in a contrasting shade can go a long way towards breaking up too much black.

Finally, there are the bridesmaid bouquets. When your attendants are wearing black dresses, you can really get creative with their flowers. The simplicity of the background will allow the bouquets to pop, so this is your opportunity to have fun with flowers like spotted orchids in vibrant shades, bold colors combinations like cherry and lime, or fun extras such as feathers or crystals. With all of the right accents in place, you can rest assured that your black bridesmaid dresses will be anything but somber.  Laura Firenze

Wearing Skinny Jeans

Skinny jeans are a thing of the past, but they seem to quickly be making their comeback. Fashion brands all over the world are producing more and more of these jeans for the newer generations to wear. However, it is important that you learn how to wear skinny pants correctly in order for them to flatter your body.

In order to wear skinny jeans properly, you should understand that there are a few different styles of these articles of clothing. Straight skinny jeans slightly hug your curves, but tend to be less clingy than other forms. Super skinny jeans have the most stretch in them, offering a "poured into" look for your bottom half. There are regular jeans as well, which are considered to be somewhere in the middle of straight and super skinny.

While shopping for jeans, be sure to try on several different styles and brands. Not all of these pants are created equally. You will want a pair that gives a slimming look to the legs and thighs. Both of these areas should be catered for a pair of skinny jeans to work with your body. Consider zippered ankles if you need help getting your legs in and out of the jeans. Length should not be much of an issue, as it is stylish to let the material gather at the ankle.

There are some things to avoid when learning how to wear your skinny pants. You should never buy a size that is too small. These pants are not forgiving, and they will not give to fit someone that is larger than the size they are trying to fit into. For them to fit properly, you must buy an appropriate size. Avoid wearing capri skinny pants if you have short legs. They will not flatter your legs, but give them an even shorter appearance. Refrain from buying lighter colors in skinny jeans unless you have a super lean body. Darker washes will help to conceal any extra weight in the butt, thighs, and legs, giving you're a slimmer appearance.

When considering what to wear with your skinny pants, it is best to opt for a long, slender top that reaches the hips. Loose shirts make it easier for more women to wear skinny pants without the possibility of a slight muffin top showing over the pants. Horizontal stripes are also favorable to wear with these bottoms.

As far as footwear is concerned, many people choose flats when considering how to wear skinny jeans. Others choose boots, and place the legs of the pants into their shoes. Wide leg jeans are practically impossible to tuck, so many people wear skinny jeans for this reason. Stilettos also work well with skinny jeans, as they will help create a slimming effect for the legs.

As you can see, there are some learning that need to take place to know how to wear skinny jeans. Many women just buy a pair and combine them with the wrong tops or shoes. This can have them looking a little less than flattering on the body. It is vital that you understand how to match these pants with appropriate clothing to make your legs look wonderful.  Nicole Roberts
