Old hats due for a comeback

Old hats are due for a Comeback

Old hats are Due For Comeback

By Shruti Sinha

Whether we want to look fashionable or to keep ourselves warm, hats have always been there from  days of old.

People have always known how to pull off fashionable head wear.

Old is gold, so we can say these things are valuable and will always enjoy a comeback.

  1. Fedora

The Fedora is chosen by  gangsters in the movies. In recent times fashion has accepted the firm brimmed hat once more and it’s a great addition to your outfit.

 Although Fedoras’ come in all sizes and colours we would purposely stick to those which have additional neutral tone and medium width.

      2. Trilby

The Trilby is often confused with a Fedora but Trilby is a different kind of hat altogether.

 It can be worn from  Spring to Autumn as it has a taller crown and smaller brim than a Fedora hat. Tweed or straw completes the hat.

 These are the high-quality hats for upper-class members or boy band members such as Justin Timberlake.

 All over the world during horse racing events, these hats are quite noticeable.

       3. Panama

Panama hats are light in colour and weight. These hats should be avoided during winter weather as they are made for sunshine and blue skies.

 These type of hats flawlessly fit in with an easy beach-going look as these are breathable and simple to wear.

 People love to wear these hats on vacations because of their light weight and portability. Look out for more such hat styles on http://thehatsguide.com

     4. Bowler

The Bowler hat is also acknowledged as a Bob hat or Billycock or Derby or Bombin.

 This hat is a hard felt hat with a rounded crown, shaped by London manufacturers Thomas and William Bowler in 1849.

 It’s also normally known as a Derby as the hat is hard. It’s a hard felt hat with a tapered brim.

The hat is famous amongst the stylish Brits and was made prominent by eminent actors such as Charlie Chaplin, John Cleese and Curly Howard.

Upper, middle and working class preferred this hat just the same.

     5. Snapback

When New York snapback became progressively omnipresent among the Yankees fans the 90’s hat came into fashion.

 The markets have been surrounded by the snapbacks which are worn by ballers, fashionistas, and cool kids all around the globe.

     6. Dad Hat

These have a slightly bent brim and are generally made of canvas or cotton. Dad hats are relaxed baseball caps.

 It consists of a modifiable strap back closing, making it one size fits all.

 Dad hats are a great choice to add to your look for any sport, or to just add an old-fashioned vibe to any look.

    7. Newsboy

In the 19th century the Newsboy hat evolved and in the 2000’s these old-fashioned caps made a huge comeback.

 The newsboy hat looks like a flat hat. These hats are round and full caps which have panels and buttons on top of the hat attaching the front part to the brim of the hat.

      8. Flat Cap

Flat Cap hats were once worn by farmers and chimney sweepers, but today flat caps are popular among celebrities and television characters.

 Flat caps come in wool and cotton; these are also lined for additional comfort.

 

Beauty is in the eye of the beholder. There are different varieties of old hats that are due for a comeback. Even today these old-style hats are popular everywhere.

 

Necessity is the mother of invention which led to the modification of these hats. Keep reading this blog for latest updates on Fashion.

10 years younger in your make up

10 years younger in your make up

 

As we mature we can become confused about our make up.

What looks good. What looks bad. I look ridiculous. Too much make up. Not enough. What colours should I be choosing?

Is this the right formula? Where do I buy my make up? How do I apply my make up?

After all no one has ever taught me and I'm not a make up artist. I should be doing something different.

There is such a vast array of make up, make up colours, formulas and brands, choosing what is right is overwhelming.

You may have had the experience of going to a make up counter with a so called “professional” only to be disheartened and discouraged and go home to clean it all off.

Wrong make up for mature women

A lot of older women still wear no make up, because they have tried to wear make up and feel it looks worse than having none on at all. But as we age we definitely need to have some colour on our face, because our skin has changed and is quiet colourless. Make up can also cover those flaws and highlight our natural beauty. Wearing good make up is always a plus.

Donʼt copy the make up trends for younger women.

Make up trends and fashions go through cycles and are constantly changing. The drivers of make up trends are those with young and flawless skin.

With skin enhancers and treatments, smooth and line free faces are the looks that fill the media and magazines. Unfortunately as most women

age they donʼt have flawlessly smooth and dewy complexions. The skin will fade with age. Womenʼs skin sags and loses integrity. Lines, pigmentation and redness are perfectly normal. If we are following the make up trends we may fail miserably to look younger and more attractive. It could have the opposite effect.

So what must we do to look beautiful and attractive if we are 40 plus?

Mature make up

Make up is about colour, shape, shade, subtlety and definition for mature skin.

Much of the make up today is not about the “natural” look. Big lashes, bold lips, strong brows, dramatic eyes, tight skin, dark shadows and deep shading are not natural. You cannot follow these trends with older skin. These looks will accentuate sagging and aging skin.

If you desire lovely soft looks they are achieved by bringing the right light with the right colours.

First and foremost, choose colours that are softer and more muted and in your colour palette. A colour consultation is a great place to start. Have your colours done and you will be able to choose all your foundations, eyeshadows, lip colours, blushes and highlighters with your colour palette.

Once you have all the colours that suit you can go about creating a glamorous and natural make up look.

As a colour consultant, my top tips for make up are as follows.

Firstly choose a concealer in a skin colour one shade only lighter than your natural skin tone. By applying this concealer around the eyes, on the eyelids, around the nose and fanned all over the cheeks, your face can

Look 10 years younger.

Choose a foundation that matches your skin perfectly. My suggestion even though your skin may appear to be warm or yellow based, still go for a beige or pink based foundation. YCS Cosmetics have colours and formulas that suit all skin types and colours.

Always frame the face with a softer but defined brow. This will lift the brow and the face at the same time. Define the eyes with softer colours and shadows and do not use black. Black is not only harsh but will also minimize the eyes. YCS Brown mascara is a great choice.

Use a subtle shade on the cheeks and lift cheeks with upward brush strokes.

Always line and define the lips for fullness without radical fillers and plumpness. Too full lips on an older woman is a dead give away. The skin in loosing fullness naturally. This looks like your “cheating” and you are. Use colours only in your colour palette. Use powders that are in your skin tone lightly to set and reduce shine. Apply a setting spray to hold and return dewiness without grease and oil for a subtly youthful look.
