Marine" is my non-traditional fashion blog concerning "anything and everything" about fashion. Everything is all expressed in my own way and with my own personal opinions. Welcome to the fashionable space of my blogging universe! :)
"StyleSpace by JBM" - established July 7, 2012.John B. Marinehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03414422109024974482noreply@blogger.comBlogger49315tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9035822717696213841.post-71188078437799842842024-02-29T16:40:00.000-08:002024-02-29T16:40:14.717-08:00Differences in PerspectiveFashion is different when seen from other perspectives. A now-defunct blog once expressed male and female perspective on outfits constantly. What males may not like about a feminine outfit, females do. What some females may not like about a masculine outfit, males do. Does a person have to properly understand fashion to discuss it? Not necessarily. Nobody looks up to me for fashion advice, and I couldn't be one's personal stylist to save somebody's life. What I do provide, though, is my own thoughts on one's style. That is good enough to properly discuss fashion.
<br /><br />
This blog post is not about any specific outfit. Instead, I'm simply talking about what a difference outside perspectives on fashion can do.
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<h3>Perspectives: Males About Feminine Outfits.</h3>
Let me speak to the level of males making opinions on feminine fashion.
<br /><br />
Us males often think a lot about what makes females stylish, cute, romantic, edgy, or whatever. Some of us could cringe a bit as to some fashion choices some fashionistas may make. Males could, for example, question why a fashionista goes for animal prints or neon, especially if males do not necessarily like certain animal prints or neon. A fashionista couldn't care less because she knows how to make a style statement.
<br /><br />
I personally have seen a number of fashion blogs from fashionable types worldwide. An overwhelming majority of these blogs are feminine bloggers. I feel my own opinions on certain outfits are on my own style tastes. I do sometimes, though, feel I may seem like I am trying to flirt when praising a fashionista's outfit. The idea I get is that a male who compliments on a female's style is that someone is simply trying to express thoughts on a fashionista's style and not trying to want to be with her. Things often don't always work out that way at times.
<br /><br />
<br />
<h3>Perspectives: Females About Masculine Outfits.</h3>
As much as males have their thoughts on what makes a female beautiful, females have their own fashion tastes in males. A number of females love a well-dressed and handsome male. Perhaps they may also love one who is muscular or just overall charming. I am not as certain as to how females feel exactly about male style, but I am sure many have exquisite takes on masculine fashion.
<br /><br />
<br />
<h3>Final Thoughts.</h3>
It is perfectly fine to have your own perspective on fashion based on your own takes. I am not suggesting anyone is right or wrong regarding perspectives on fashion. Your takes on fashion whether male or female are your own unique takes. So feel free to feel however you want regarding fashion commentary.
<br />

Normally, you wear swimwear when it's hot. A recent trend of swimwear when it's cold is questionable. To fashionistas, "how do you look stay warm in the cold? Look hotter!" Some have referred to this trend of swimwear in cold weather as the "snowkini trend." So for this blog post, I want to focus in on this trend. Would any of you fashionistas dare try this? Do you think this is cool or silly? I'll discuss as I go along.
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<hr>
<h2>Snowkini Trend</h2>
<hr>
Warm weather usually means a love of wearing shorts, sandals, and swimwear. Such clothing usually help fashionistas stay cool and look cute when it's warm or hot. The last thing one wants to do is wear less clothing or light clothing on cool or cold days. There was one time where the Houston area had high temperature of 37°F, and one young woman I saw at a Wal-Mart wore a T-shirt, shorts, and flip-flop/thong sandals. Think that's insane? Well, try wearing swimwear when it's cold. This is something that took the likes of Instagram and TikTok by storm. Enter the realm of the "Snowkini" trend, as demonstrated with the only decent image I could find to demonstrate this style:
<br /><br />
<IMG SRC="https://www.neoadviser.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/12/India.jpg" ALT="snowkini trend">
<br />
^ from: (NeoAdviser - best image I could find) - <i>The "snowkini" trend brings swimsuits to the snow. Don't forget a super warm pair of boots also.</i>
<br /><br />
The "snowkini" trend is a fashion trend of wearing swimwear out in cool or cold weather. Think showing up at the ski resort or Winter resort by wearing your favorite swimwear along with some cold weather boots. No fashionista would dare wear any sort of swimwear when temperatures are cold and out in the cold. For some, there is a level of hotness for rocking swimwear out in the cold. The combination of a stylish bikini paired with some sort of cold weather boots can be pretty hot despite the cold. Swimsuits can also be a showcase of one's appealing looks when wearing such appealing swimwear ranging from one-piece swimwear to bikinis. However, you do risk putting your body temperature out of whack when trying this trend. Celebrities such as Kendall Jenner and India Reynolds are among the celebrity influencers of the "snowkini" trend.
<br /><br />
Now one time, I've seen a video where some woman wore a bikini along with some sheepskin boots. While a popular pair of boots in cold weather, sheepskin boots like from <A HREF="https://sovrn.co/oxxi9rw">UGG Australia</A> or <A HREF="https://sovrn.co/zrp831h">EMU Australia</A> were originally meant to keep feet and ankles warm for cool or cold days at the beach. So it is not foreign to want to wear such boots when it is cold. What is foreign, however, is to expose your body on cold days with either light clothing or with little clothing.
<br /><br />
<br />
<h3>The "Snowkini" Trend: Elements.</h3>
Upon my research of this topic, there are basically two elements towards the "snowkini" trend- any sort of swimwear and some cold weather boots. So imagine your coolest/cutest/hottest bikini paired with some cold weather-style boots. You're basically set on this front. Optional to this trend is some sort of cold weather hat or cold weather cap. Also optional is a warm weather coat. The main appeal of this trend is to parade around in piles of snow in your bikini.
<br /><br />
Cold weather boots to go with swimwear usually is with a pair of moon boots. Alternatively, a tall pair of furry boots also will suffice. Or if all else fails... go with your cutest pair of sheepskin boots.
<br />
<br />
<br />
How about I offer some thoughts on this trend? Go to the next section.

<h2>The Snowkini Trend: Final Thoughts</h2>
<hr>
No way would I endorse or promote wearing a bikini on a cold day. It's a wild and bold fashion style to try out. I am not going to say I hate the trend. Though, I will say it is one of the most daring and most outrageous fashion trends to try. I've seen fashionistas wear cropped tops in cold and/or snowy conditions, but that is nowhere near as wild as wearing swimsuits in cold and snowy locations. If you are that daring a fashionista, more power to you; but I'd save the swimsuits either for saunas or for warm weather.
<br />

A big part of these folk outfits' appeal is in the colorful embroidery. Well, for this blog post, I want to focus on Otomi embroidery.
<br /><br />
I want to note that this is not the only style of embroidery; this is the style of Mexican embroidery I got to learn about as I was researching this topic.
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />

<h2>Otomi Embroidery</h2>
<hr>
To everyone who adores Bohemian or festival chic, one can find something to love about the earthy tones of something like Otomi embroidery. Feminine garments with such Otomi embroidery can really enhance the overall style of traditional Mexican folk outfits. These prints are known for being colorful and expressive. These designs can include floral designs, animals, or they may even be a combination of different colorful elements to form one amazing image.
<br /><br />
Otomi embroidery gets its name from the Otomi people of the central plateau of Mexico. Otomi embroidery involves an elaborate stitching technique to put the colors together. These pieces are designed using embroidery floss. One thing I read or seen noted Otomi designs could take as many as eight months to make a complete piece; at least, by hand. Some designers can easily come up with these designs much quicker with sewing machines. Once these pieces are complete, some amazing designs can be made with Otomi embroidery.

<h2>My Thoughts on Otomi Embroidery</h2>
<hr>
Otomi embroidery on garments are colorful and beautiful. The colors are vibrant and really bring out the loveliness among fashionistas. Otomi embroidery can also be great for home furnishings as well. Even if you aren't of any Latin descent, you can still enjoy something like a top or a dress with these accents on them. You can equally enjoy some Otomi embroidery with household items like pictures, accent pillows, and more. There is a lot to love about Otomi embroidery to me. You can definitely add these pieces to your wardrobe or your home if these embroideries interest you.

They provide vintage appeal and feminine charm. Even those who are not entirely indulged in vintage fashion can find something to love about swing dresses/skirts. I'll be making this blog post as a brief discussion of swing dresses and swing skirts.
<br /><br />
A lot of these swing dresses and swing skirts were mostly popular from the 1950s. Such dresses and skirts flared out from the waist and extended above or below the knees. Personally, I find this silhouette beautiful. Because of their length and style, these vintage A-line dresses and skirts are very modest and classy. They also exhibit an air of feminine style that are both timeless and classic. And if you're a girl who loves to twirl, you can happy twirl in these dresses/skirts and feel so fun!
<br /><br />
Here is the style of vintage A-Line style I am making mention to:
<br /><br />

<br />
^ from: <A HREF="https://sovrn.co/1qt02gv">Walmart</A> - <i>The vintage A-line design of the 1950s and 1960s are beautiful even today.</i>
<br />
<br />
<IMG SRC="https://www.black-impressions.de/media/image/product/31786/md/josephine-white-black-polka-dot-swing-skirt.jpg" ALT="swing skirt">
<br />
^ from: (BLACK IMPRESSIONS Shop) - <i>If you prefer a swing skirt rather than a swing dress, enjoy the same appeal of a swing dress in a skirt form.</i>
<br />
<br />
There is no denying that swing dresses and swing skirts epitomize feminine charm with a vintage vibe. If you fancy this style, feel free to find yourself some swing dresses and/or swing skirts to your wardrobe. I can't name you any resources right away, but feel free to look around online for vintage shops that have swing dresses and/or swing skirts available.
<br />

Their sneakers have been a unisex favorite. One of the new Converses of late has been the Chuck 70 De Luxe Heel- a classic Chuck Taylor type sneaker with a low block heel. I will spend some time and talk about these sneakers in this blog post. Care to join me in this adventure?

<h2>Converse Chuck 70 De Luxe Heel</h2>
<hr>
Here are the shoes in question:
<br /><br />
<IMG SRC="https://www.converse.com/dw/image/v2/BJJF_PRD/on/demandware.static/-/Sites-cnv-master-catalog-we/default/dw2f733174/images/a_107/A05347C_A_107X1.jpg?sw=964" ALT="Converse Chuck 70 De Luxe Heel">
<br />
^ from: <A HREF="https://sovrn.co/1qykbum">Converse</A> - <i>Love Converses but want something more girly? Try the Converse Chuck 70 De Luxe Heel.</i>
<br />
<br />
Just on the silhouette of these sneaker boots alone, these shoes can be styled casually or in some cases, chic. Maybe a fashionista could see these as more upscale high-top sneakers. Some could see them more like a sneaker version of combat boots. It is possible some classy or semi-formal outfits could be paired with these sneaker boots. In fact, try sporting some of these sneaker boots for Casual Friday at work, or pair them with your most girly dress. You could even hide these sneaker boots under a pair of bell bottoms or wide-leg jeans/pants. The Goth/Emo/Punk set often fancies some Converse sneakers as well. So you can imagine these being paired with some girly dark/edgy outfits.
<br /><br />
Take a look at how one fashionista styled these sneaker boots for a week: <A HREF="https://fashionjournal.com.au/fashion/converse-sneaker-heel-styling/">Converse released a sneaker heel, so naturally, I had to wear them all week</A>.
<br /><br />
<br />
<h3>My Thoughts on These Sneakers.</h3>
While I am not a Converse lover, I will admit these sneakers have something going for them. These are much better looking than those sneaker pumps I've seen for years that looks like a pair of Chuck Taylor sneakers but with a stiletto high heel. Their versatility alone makes these sneakers enticing to fashionistas. Honestly, I think it is the heel that makes them more enticing than any average pair of Converses. You lose some of the casual cool of a simple pair of sneakers with the 70 De Luxe Heel shoes, but you gain a girly vibe that allows you to top off a relatively chic outfit with. I tend to like these more chic Converse sneaker boots better than an average pair of high-top Converses on fashionistas. So if you want the Converse appeal on your feet but with a chic touch, you'd be best trying to snap these up to add to your shoe collection.
<br /><br />
In case you are wondering, they come in more color combinations than just black and white. I saw these in a total of about four different color combinations.
