The IPhone 7 is all set to take the world by storm. It’s the latest gadget, a gizmo that you will surely want to have. But what should you wear with your cool phone? Your dress should go well with your gadget.

Here’s one idea – You may try consumer “wearables”. But there are other options too.

The Apple Watch, Google Glass, and Fitbit are on the leading edge of consumer “wearables” – technology that combines electronic sensors with everyday apparel. But watches and eyeglasses are only the beginning. Shirts, socks, and any other item of clothing or accessory you have in your wardrobe are being reimagined to collect, analyze, and use personalized data.

Here’s a sampling of smart clothing you can wear with the IPhone 7:

AiQ Smart Clothing Company produces a line of smart apparel, including conductive gloves for smudge-free touchscreen use, clothes that light up, clothes that give off evenly distributed heat, and even metal mesh clothing that shields the wearer from radiation.

Designer Pauline Van Dongen offers a Wearable Solar Clothing Collection. Her coats and dresses integrate solar cells that can charge your smartphone but be obscured with fabric when not in use.

This electronic hoodie will go very well with the IPhone 7.

You can wear this glitter top as well. You will definitely be looking completely different in this.

Or try this look with the IPhone 7.

Modules are sewed into clothes. The modules are used to create various luminous and flashing costumes for parties, carnivals, and similar crazy opportunity, but it can also be used for more serious applications.

You may also wear this luminous and flashing costume.

Here’s one integrated solar clothing. This futuristic design is a sure eye-catcher.

Try unusual shapes and structures have been translated into a collection that combines a fluid form with abstract constructed shapes, graphic lines and smooth curves with striking materials around the body.

Stereopsis investigates human perception of space and the way light creates and influences our vision on surroundings. Something that seems flat at first sight can suddenly appear to be three-dimensional. Stereopsis collection exploits the ability of reflection and refraction of light through cone shapes and hollow forms that absorb it. Laser cut leather and silk are shaped in three-dimensional structures that play with light and interact with the viewer when moving.

Look straight out of a sci-fi movie with this look. It looks quite bizarre and more high-fashion but believe me, you will look the best of the bunch. This is a very good IPhone 7 outfit.

Steampunk is often framed as an alternative past, or present, but can also be seen as a post-apocalyptic future that combines Victorian and punk theme in a sub-culture with high-tech based on steam.

Here is another Steampunk look. You can wear this as well with the new IPhone 7.

Retro Futuristic – Of course everyone has a different view of what the future might be like, but some versions seem to go in and out of fashion with the times. We do tend to fall back on the universal, solid color jumpsuit, as Time notes. Aerials on hats and bubble helmets were predicted, as seen on The Jetsons. Other examples include the very human-like alien civilizations in the original Star Trek or the costumes used in Barbarella. For example, just look at this holographic skater dress.

Here is another retro-futuristic look you might like.

Cyberpunk – You can decide how grimy this costume should be, depending on your favorite style of cyberpunk. The inspiration for these could be the Tron movies with their one-piece black jumpsuits and neon accessories. Or you can channel a gothic vibe, like characters from The Matrix or Bladerunner.

You are sure to look stunning in this electronic evening gown. And it will be perfect with the new IPhone 7.

Fun Fashion Fact

The 90th Academy Awards ceremony will be broadcast on TV this Sunday. Did you know that the first Oscars ceremony in 1929 was neither filmed nor broadcast on the radio? That’s why we don’t know, for example, what best actress Janet Gaynor wore to the actual show (although two publicity shots of her with her Oscar do exist, in which she is pictured in two different outfits).

A wool coat can be a costly investment especially if you chose designer wool coats. These are very essential in every woman’s winter wardrobe. Sad this is that wool coats ranges from a hundred dollars to a thousand dollars. They vary in size, wool weight, wool type and style.

 

Advantages of wool fabric

It is water resistant because of the lanolin in the sheep wool – sometimes it can make you smell like a wet sheep when you get wet or when it’s snowing so much.

It’s wrinkle-free when you store it the right way. When it does get wrinkles, just lay it flat for a couple of hours then it will just disappear.

It makes a great insulator that it can keep you extremely warm more than any other material.

Spring and Summer are the seasons for white denim, although I personally wear white jeans throughout the year. When I say white denim, I’m referring to jeans, denim jackets and denim skirts. The whites vary from bright optical white and off-white to a greyish bone and warm cream. Take your pick. 

I am a HUGE advocate of white denim and white jeans in particular, and here’s why.

1. Dressy

When white denim isn’t torn, ripped, and distressed, it looks dressier than blue denim. White jeans are a great option when you don’t feel like wearing formal trousers or a skirt, but blue denim and casual pants are too casual. Many of my business casual clients aren’t allowed to wear blue jeans to work, but a polished pair of white jeans or a white denim skirt is acceptable. They can also get away with wearing a pristine white denim jacket in a dressier way. I find that white jeans are the ideal level of dressiness for many settings, making them a versatile workhorse for my style.

2. Crisp, Graphic and Fresh

There is something about adding white denim to an outfit that makes it look extra crisp and fresh. It also looks more graphic than blue, grey or black denim. White jeans look fabulously modern to my eye, especially when you wear them in the Autumn and Winter.

3. Bright and Neutral

White is the brightest neutral, and a fab way to change things when you prefer a neutral style. Instead of brights, white can be your bright. Combine white jeans with a neutral top, footwear and bag, and the visual effect of your outfit is bold and bright but 100% neutral.

4. Works with Pastels and Muddy Mid-Tones

Pastel tops and footwear look especially good with white bottoms. Match pastel tops and footwear with black and grey bottoms and the effect isn’t as punchy and crisp (unless you throw in white shoes and bag). White bottoms bring out light blue, blush, mint and lilac. Furthermore, white denim is smashing with black and grey tops, providing a more Summery way to wear black and grey. White denim works equally well with muddy mid-tones, thereby cleaning them up in a way blue and black denim can’t achieve.

5. More Unique than Blue

Most people wear blue and black jeans, skirts and jackets across a range of washes, but far fewer wear white denim because it’s harder to keep clean, looks a little stark, and can be too bold. Some find white jeans widening, and prefer the streamlined effect of wearing dark colours on the bottom. White denim jackets are excellent over dresses and skirts, look awfully Summery, and can work with all sorts of blue denim and non-denim bottoms. So if you want to look more unique, wearing white denim is one way to go.

6. Works with Platinum Blonde and Grey Hair

White denim can bookend and complement very blonde hair, salt & pepper hair, silver grey hair, and white hair because it picks up the lightest neutrals in heads of hair these colours. Of course, white denim can work with any complexion and head of hair when the support act is complementary.

For my style, white jeans are a wardrobe essential, and one of my very favourite things. I’d love to find a fabulous white denim jacket but don’t want one with silver buttons. I have several pairs of white jeans, and am open to adding a pair of wide crops.

Here is my current white denim collection. I wear the three pairs of cropped straights all the time, the pair of boyfriends once in a while, and the flares less frequently because they require a two inch heel which I don’t wear. I think I’ll have them hemmed to wear with white sneakers.

Most of my clients, across all body types, sizes and ages, wear white jeans. I say it every year: We can all wear white jeans. You don’t need to be slim in the leg, waist and thigh, or wear a small size. My US size 14 and 18 clients look as good wearing white jeans as those who wear smaller sizes. It’s a question of getting the fit and fabric right. Here are 12 tips for feeling fab in white bottoms.

Over to you. Do you wear white denim? If so, why do you like wearing it?

Natori makes quality sleepwear. The pieces are pretty, covered, substantial, comfortable and alluring. Fabrics are soft and drapey, and seldom crease. Cuts are flattering, and suit a wide range of body types. There is a good assortment of fabrics, colours, sizes and patterns. On the downside, sizing can be inconsistent and sometimes runs large.

I wanted to carry through the Modern Retro theme that I created for my swimwear capsule into my Summer loungewear and sleepwear style because it looks elegant, feminine and dressy. But it was difficult to find a long kimono that fit with matching nightie or pyjamas in silhouettes with sufficient coverage, and in substantial WOVEN fabrics that don’t crease. The kimono had to be midi length, patterned, drape like a dream, and not overwhelm me. The nightie could be strappy as long as it was long and fairly covered. I didn’t want classic button-through pyjamas because I don’t feel fab in the silhouette. I’m fussy, and it was quite a tall order.

I eventually found a gorgeous set of three in exactly what I wanted: pyjama, nightie and robe in an “Ombre Floral”. These are wildcards as I give glam warm-weather loungewear and sleepwear a go.

• Natori Ombre Floral Satin Robe: I was prepared to say “no” to Summer robes forever because they slide open and are very annoying. NOT this one. The cut and fabric are genius. It’s long which helps you stay covered. It has an inner tie that keeps the front part secure. The wide belt is encased through a drawstring tunnel at the back that keeps it in position. The fabric hangs with heft and does not crease. BRILLIANT. Runs TTS.
• N by Natori Ombre Floral PJ Set: If you want pyjamas with coverage but don’t fancy the traditional button-through silhouette – TRY THIS. It’s surprisingly flattering, and the cropped pants work extremely well with the cropped wide sleeves. The fabric hangs with heft and does not crease. It’s not clingy and see-through thanks to substantial woven fabric and good drape. Excellent cut and very soft. Runs TTS.
• N by Natori Ombre Floral Long Gown: This is a beautifully cut woven nightie that works on a range of body types. It does not cling, and the front isn’t too low. The straps are adjustable, and the length is elegant. Not see-through or overly skimpy. Runs TTS.
• Natori Shangri La Robe: An excellent knit robe for Team Tall. Flattering cut and ample coverage. Read the rave reviews.

Try Natori sleepwear and loungewear if you’re after something feminine, covered and comfortable.

Fun Fashion Fact

During a recent Paris auction, Le Smoking, a highly sought-after custom tuxedo trouser suit made by Saint Laurent for French actress Catherine Deneuve in 1982, fetched 20,000 euros (just under $23,000). This makes it the highest amount ever paid for any le smoking at auction.

Many gasped when they heard Lucy Hale was leaving Pretty Little Liars really soon. Quite sad when you think about it but hey, they need to grow up, star on other shows and we feel like it’s time to move on. Lucy opted for a sexy mini dress with a very deep mesh neckline, something we wouldn’t even dare think Aria Montgomery would wear.
