Pants with Distinction

Summer is here, heat wave is on!   It's a season to show who you are visually using clothes, hairstyles, accessories, colour....  I, like many of you do,  love see lots of colour in the warm seasons.   I love seeing new silhouettes in fashion as well.  

Here are few nice silhouettes in pants that we don't see too often, the harem, the wide leg and the palazzo, all in African fabrics.

Appealing Accessories

Isn't it nice to be able to compliment an outfit with an additional detail?  We can express ourselves further with a particular item such as a belt, a bag, or shoes.  There are so many variations of colours, designs and fabrications for each accessory.  These additions usually have double duty, they're fashionable and functional.

Here are some of the trending accessories for 2025.

Plaid and Gingham for Spring? Interesting...

I've been away from blogging for a few months, but I had to start blogging again.  Life has been a bit interesting in 2025, hasn't it?  Very unpredictable, very surprising and challenging for many.  But there are still rewarding and lovely parts to life this year as well, especially in small events and ordinary situations.

And what else is interesting?  I came across a fashion article on trends for Spring and Summer 2025.  One of the trends is plaid clothing.  Plaid, to me, has been associated with shirts from my childhood, so to see that plaid is being redefined in different silhouettes and lighter and brighter colours is a nice surprise.  Gingham fabric is a form of plaid and usually uses two colours, one being white check.  Three of the garments posted here can be classified as gingham clothing.

Wear the Flags

Did you watch the 2024 Olympics in France?  The opening ceremony left me with questions, but the presentation of the countries athletes of course was the best part of the ceremony.   One of my favorite sports in the Olympics is the long distance race.  The absolute determination to push through to the end is so admirable.  

For some reason I chose to google dresses in flag colors.  Maybe many of you already knew there were dresses using flag colors, but I didn't.   I was pleasantly surprised at the image responses that came up during my search.

17 or More Pant Styles - Which is Your Favorite?

Did you know there are numerous pant styles for ladies?  I forgot about the other styles available for ladies as the popular silhouette today is the close fit, tight leg pants.  Myself, I prefer the semi- fit to loose-fit pants that allow freedom of movement. 

I googled how many pant styles are available for women.  Surprise surprise!  At least 17!  Shall I name a few for you?  High waist pants, bootcut, capri, wide leg, dress pants, cargo, harem, jodhpur, palazzo, etc.
