TRENDY EYE GEAR

If you are looking for a quality pair of sunglasses and are not sure of where to start try looking at different types of eyeglass shops.

Not all places carry the same brands so depending on your style a qualified Optician can help in the selection process.
Designer sunglasses attract all walks of life and tend to be pricier, and often have more expensive upgrades such as jewels and inlays with unique patterns and designs. Designer logos may be etched in high-end frames.

Reasons why We All Love Leggings

By Humphrey Bwayo

Ask anyone what their thoughts about leggings are, and they will not hesitate to tell you that leggings completely rock their world. Every guy loves a girl wearing a pair of leggings, and if you pay close attention, they can’t help but notice her.
Just think about it for a second, leggings on girls are pretty amazing outfits, and the ladies love them because they are comfortable, easy to put on and versatile enough to wear them anywhere. The guys, however, love it for completely different reasons. To be a bit more specific, for a guy it’s all about what they do to a girl’s appearance, and nothing to do with how comfortable a girl might feel in them.

So how did the leggings craze reach full peak? Well, they started out as a comfortable way to wear skirts in colder months. Over the past few years, they have become fashionably acceptable, thanks to celebrities donning them. A lot of people have questioned the classiness of this new fashion wave, but for most part, these outfits can be pulled off quite decently. They are exceptional when accompanied with a longer shirt or sweater, but also great with a shorter or tighter top. In case you are wondering why leggings are the new must have wardrobe staple see below.

Leggings are fashionable. Leggings seem to fit with every pair of shoes in a girl’s closet, even her trainers. You can wear them for a Netflix and chill session, for a hike, to the movies, or with your favourite sneakers, and they will look super trendy. They are easy, comfortable, versatile and most important; they bring out the best in every girl. Just because you are comfortable doesn’t mean you have to compromise on fashion.

Leggings are extremely comfortable, which explains why they have become so incredibly popular as of late.

Leggings have revolutionized fashion, you can wear them to the gym and they fit just like yoga pants, or to the office with a nice suit, or to school with your skimpy, coloured dresses. I bet you can wear them to the moon!

Leggings are for women of all shapes and sizes. Doesn’t matter what size you are, just about every girl out there can rock a legging. There’s something quite universal about the fit of a legging, and girls of all shapes and sizes can take advantage of that. Whether it’s taking a jog or playing a game of basketball, leggings have the ability to bring out the self-confidence in girls. And to reiterate, leggings looks good on just about everyone!


Working Out in Style

Choosing the Right Gear

Remember the clothing you'll wear to workout in is very important, all eyes are on you in the gym. Everyone is watching. Sexy gym fashion is in. This is how to choose clothes that will work to your advantage when you work out.

Baggy clothes are out. Slightly loose can work more so for men. Keep in mind baggy close won't make your body appear larger. Boxy shirts and saggy sweatpants will actually impede you at the gym.

Form is everything. You don't want to impede your movements or get caught by machinery. Your athletic gear should allow you to view your body mechanics, and see how your body is moving.

All tops for working out should have no more than three to four inches of excess fabric at the waist

Top Fabrics

Looking good establishes a good mindset for working out. High fashion performance wear is a better choice. Those old baggy gray sweat pants with a quarter inch elastic band around each ankle is out. Always use fabric that won’t leave you feeling wet, sweaty, and clammy. No one wants to sit in or come in contact with your sweat. Cotton t-shirts will soak up your sweat, making it heavy and uncomfortable to wear; cotton blends are better for the gym. These fabrics are great for the gym: Bamboo, GORE-TEX, Nylon, Polyester, Polypropylene, and Spandex.
