5 Things We Love To Hate About Fashion..

1. When sales don't have your size!

 Theres nothing worse than finding that beautiful dress you've been hunting for all season and the sizing just isn't cutting it. This event can go one of two ways..too small or too big; leaving you with the fantastic decision of looking like a suffocating cat trying to get threw its cat flap after one to many tins of iams; or turning up at the party drenched by a dress designed to fit an Essex boy in bulking season. 

 2. The pointed court:

 Ahhhhh the court shoe, think Louboutin, Manolo Blahnik, crushed toes and blisters. We love the summer court shoe, Infact it may be the most perfect style ever to exist; but oh the pain that comes from the devils design! From mangled baby toes, to permentally triangular feet, court shoes leave our feet looking more Poundland than Prada, but in the essence of all things fashion.. Beauty is pain! 

3. The after party:

Summer is the festival season and fashion at its height, spine tingling tracks and foreheads encrusted with bindis and glitter. Fashion doesn't get more perfect than at this time of year. We spend months looking for our killer bodysuits and netted cycling shorts to adorn us at such events..but come the after party, we leave looking more middle aged mum at the gym, than Ibiza goddess. Not only has our make up been completely wiped from our face by the tsunami of sweat, usually bought on by awkward conversations with just as unsober strangers, but also our top knots seem to flop at the first sign of a warehouse or club; after a day spent soaking up the sun. Our hair and make up seem to tell us "No Girl, you don't look cool anymore, go home, get some rest" but our body's tell us "no girl you keep doing your thang" 

4. Finding your perfect jeans:

Put it this way jeans are that basic item that's not so basic, finding a pair of snug fitting jeans could possibly be hard than running the marathon or getting your hair band out of a messy bun; two very challenging events. Jeans are always either to tight on the legs but to baggy on the feet, or perfect on the legs and gaping at the waist, it's a vicious circle that is inevitably unavoidable. We admit the Joni Jean is a pretty tough contender and usually what we settle for, but even with their perfect tightness and ability to make your booty look oh so Kimmy K we all know that McDonald's is a no go when wearing them, and no jeans are ever gonna be perfect if you can eat a Big Mac in them, are they? 

5. Small tits:

This is a personal one for me, don't get me wrong I've heard the whole small boobs are so Chanel, and the "I wish I could wear that, my boobs are to big" compliments. But to all you big boobed bitches out there, please never wish tiny tit syndrome upon yourself! I kid you not try make a deep plunging v neck seem appealing to any man, when you practically scream "I'm a 5 year old" whilst walking into a club. I'm not saying we want double D's but a juicy bit of cleavage and a bit of movement of fat from the belly to chest area wouldn't go a miss.

Back To The Future - The Revival of All Things 90’s

Think 1991, your outside Cafe Mambos, 8pm, watching the sunset surrounded by ravers, and misbehavers, preparing to see your favourite DJ smash it on the decks, it’s 90’s Summer and fashion is in the process of changing forever.

From platform boots and chokers, to top knots and mesh, the 90’s held some of the best and worst clothes we’ve ever seen. Rather like marmite the 90’s was a love it or hate it type decade, but the way it has been revived is inarguably, love it, love it and love it even more. It’s amazing how we’ve taken the platform boot, a trend I'm sure NO ONE expect to re-emerge in what was the overly modernised 2010’s, but yet someone somewhere tweaked it, reworked in and invented the cleated sole, no doubt one of our favourite trends of 2014 summer, we as the youth are taking the 90’s and nipping and tucking it to create the best decade for fashion in years and years. With Be Worn in the midst of this movement, stocking everything from chokers, to mesh to killer heels, and with neoprenes and oversized tee’s in store for A/W we couldn't get more 90’s if we tried!

It’s music truly, that I feel we have to thank for the revival of 90’s fashion trends, the rise of warehouse parties, festivals and Ibiza and more importantly, house music, has shaped and altered our mind set in terms of fashion. People are looking for more retro, quirky pieces, that make them standout in a rave full of fashion conscious and usually, also completely nutty sea of people, who's love for music and fashion resonates through the room. But second to that the 90’s considered comfort, with temperatures at a warehouse party being second to that of a hot beach in Egypt at the height of summer, bodysuits and satin running shorts meant you were cool but still rocking it at the same time.

Our favourite trends, or at least my favourite trends of the 90’s have got to be, Chokers, Bindi’s and Bodysuits. Think American Apparel meets Urban Outfitters, In a clash of grunge, festival and sports inspired fashion. Highly driven by celebrities such as, The Spice Girls, Gwen Stefani and Kate Moss, The 90’s was a decade where quiet frankly, people didn't care, the whackier the better, and when whacky became the norm,  we just made it more whacky. If you had of told us 4 years ago we would be sauntering around festivals with bindis glued to our overly sweaty foreheads, we probably would have laughed, but its open mindedness that has got the nation here, and now I wonder what I did before the epidemic that is bindi madness, they complete an outfit, decorate your face better than any kind of make up could, and there are limitless designs and colours for absolutely everyone. Not to mention its uber cultural, and super hot.

At Be Worn we've taken like a duck to water, or even a spice girl to metallic moon boots; to the current 90’s trend. We currently stock a vast range of mesh, chokers and cleated sole shoes, and with much more to come for A/W we intend to create an army of walking spice girls, who’ll take the world by storm.
