Korean Clothes - Asian Fashion - Taking the US, and the World, By Storm!

 Executive Summary By Lisa S. Schwartz

A growing number of young Asian-American fashion designers are taking the American fashion world by storm with their original designs influenced by their Asian heritage. Unlike the earlier wave of Japanese designers who hit the fashion world in the 1980s, however, these designers do not create clothes that can be specifically identified as Asian fashion but rather strive to create clothes that are aimed for mainstream clotheshorses by wearing their influences lightly. The most recent Asian-Americans to hit in big in US fashion are young Korean clothes designers Richard Chai and Chung Doo-Ri, who have successfully managed to establish a foothold in the highly-competitive New York fashion scene.

What makes Asian fashion so attractive to American buyers is their strong sense of style that makes them so distinct from the majority of clothes produced by American designers. Korean street fashion has become popular in shops selling the latest in trendy or hip-hop styles to the young. Korean clothes, in particular, require a strong attitude to be worn successfully.

Fashion Shoes

Women's Fashion Shoes

Executive Summary  By Colin R McDonald

Money spent on bright colored shoes is safely invested in bright sandals and fun shoes. Think investment. Fashion shoes, if properly cared for, last a nice long time. Sandals, evening shoes and fun shoes can all be chosen for their immediate use. Think trendy and unique when looking for a pair of shoes.

Evening shoe tips

Even if your dress is down to the floor, don't think you can get away with just any old shoe when wearing a gorgeous gown. Those old black pumps just won't do. Even if you do not get out much, a great pair of fashion shoes for evening are a necessary investment.

Putting on a great pair of fashion shoes is enough to signal the shift that is necessary when going out for the evening. Attitude is everything and evening fashion shoes can take you there.

*Low cut shoes and open strappy styles are more slimming than closed toed shoes. One of the best evening looks is a sling back style or any shoe with a angled strap.

*Flats or a low heel can give an evening trousers or suit, kicked back chic. Tall women can also wear flats with full, ankle length ballerina style skirts.

*Elegant closed style shoes can be cut in a dressy fabric for an evening impact. Patent leather, silk, satin or beaded fabrics look better than matte leather in an evening fashion shoe.

*Evening shoes don't have to be black, in fact, silver or gold is just as classic. Go ahead and make your outfit really pop with a shiny boldly colored shoe.

Sandals

Sandals are another form of fashion shoe that can be chosen for the fun of it all. Shoes do not have to be all serious. Update your summer wardrobe simply be changing up your shoes. Neutral outfits look brand new when pairing them with bright sandals.

* If only neutral will do for you, a beige, khaki or nude sandal can be made more exciting by choosing neutral reptile. Fake snake and mock croc make a nice fashion shoe.

*White is not a neutral color in shoes. A bright white sandal is a fashion shoe statement.

Fun Shoes

Fun shoes like ballet flats, or wedges are nice options when getting ready for the day.

*Ballet Flats are great with cropped slim trousers and miniskirts.

*Wedges make chunky calves look slim, they even make the foot itself look smaller.

*Roman sandals and leather thongs with their free spirit look, go well with loose looks like caftans, summer linens and tunic dresses.

Comfort Tip

There most likely isn't a woman alive who hasn't suffered for beautiful shoes. Even if the fashion shoe you are considering purchasing is only for a special occasion, there are ways around pain.

*Getting the right size is most important. Feet actually grow as you age. Just because you were an 8 when you were twenty, does not mean you will still wear that size at forty.

Fashion Shoes

Executive Summary  By Joe Denver 

Fashion shoes or sensible shoes?  We like to have both. We usually buy our shoes to match our clothes, but sometimes we make an impulse buy of a pair of high heeled stilettos and then go trudging round the shops to find a slinky dress to go with them.  Big mistake! We never quite find the dress to go with the shoes! But if you buy a pair of shoes you can wear with jeans or skirts you've got it covered. 

Should we buy expensive, branded shoes that will only last a season or two or should we go for the bargain priced shoes that will last us all year?  You'll find some online stores specializing in up to the minute fashion shoes.  These are usually the cheapest place to buy your shoes.  Branded fashion shoes will cost you more but will be better made and will last longer.  But does this matter if the shoes are only going to be in fashion for a season?  The comfort may be worth it but the quality may not.  If you have plenty of spare cash and budget is not a problem then you'll probably go for the branded, or if you can afford it the designer shoes.

Budget fashion shoes are a great option for all of us who work for a living.  Not too expensive, we feel good because we can proudly show off our savvy fashion sense and we're not too upset when the fashion changes and we have to throw them out.  If  I've blown a weeks' wages on a designer pair of shoes and they go out of fashion I'm crying all the way to the bank!

I'm much more likely to invest a large amount of money on a classic pair of shoes or boots than to splash out on an expensive pair of fashion shoes that I know will only last a few weeks.  That said I have the occasional pair of fashion shoes in my wardrobe that I probably wouldn't call budget!  They were an impulse buy that cost me more than I planned to spend.  I'm getting wiser and will now usually go and buy my sensible shoes online with a voucher code or when the sales are on, leaving me extra cash to buy a more expensive pair of fashion shoes.  Do I buy the fashion shoes even if I don't like them or they don't suit me? Yes I have to admit I usually do!
