When the weather is a bit chilly, open tank tops and classic T-shirts don’t really seem the great wardrobe solution. This is why long sleeved T-shirts are really popular in autumn and spring. Everybody should have a couple of long sleeved T-shirts in their wardrobe for those cold days.  Choosing the right T-shirt might be a problem and often people get clothes that don’t fit them properly.

When buying these T-shirts make sure that they are long enough if you are a woman and have a bigger chest. Otherwise, you might end up with it being shorter in the front and longer in the back and that will just look terrible. Another important aspect is wearing a T-shirt that will have long enough sleeves. Unfortunately, different companies have different sizes and you should always try them on before buying them. Most women report problems with their clothes having shorter sleeves although the size is right for their body, so pay close attention to that.

The best thing about long sleeved T-shirts is the fact that they are very comfortable and easy to wash and keep around. You can always have one with you in case the weather gets chilly and they will prove extremely useful.

A very casual style is wearing long sleeved T-shirts under classic T-shirts and combining the colors of those two into a really unique look. This works really well if you really want to wear a certain T-shirt but it’s too cold outside to wear it alone.

You can also wear long sleeved T-shirts for a more formal look, at the office. Just wear one that has an elegant color under your jacket with your pants or your skirt. They will look absolutely lovely and make your body look really good as they usually hide imperfections.

Another feature of this fashion item is the fact that it never gets out of style. You don’t have to buy a new one every season because you can always wear those with neutral colors anytime.  Such a timeless piece of clothing is worth investing in and choosing something from a high fashion brand or a more expensive material.

A new version of the legendary Falabella signed by Stella McCartney, undisputed it-bag fashion house that has produced some of the most popular models of the past seasons. The British designer gained international recognition for her already classic line of leather accessories Falabella which is revised and enriched each season. New materials, new colors and new models appear, but its simplicity and iconic chain remain. With the new model of a wallet’s size and Tokyo blue denim color, the elegance is ensured as it has an especially designed chain. This new it-bag comes in the same artificial or ecological leather as Stella has a profound respect for nature and has never used real leather for her bags and accessories. The McCartney-style has become a true obsession with stars such as the daring and super-stylish Kate Winslet, who would not stop wearing the “sporty” we have all seen at the Venice Film Festival.

The female spirit is always looking for the timeless little black dress, the perfect man and the perfect bag. Ladies, look no further as if you still could not find the charming prince, it seems that the incarnation of your dreams’ bag was launched on the market. It has a symbolic name – the Pandora and it bears the Givenchy seal. The American actresses Reese Witherspoon, Jennifer Garner and Hilary Duff, the English one – Kate Beckinsale have already been seen wearing the box shaped it-bag that comes in three different sizes and in black, purple, yellow and nude. Although the trends seem to prefer small bags, Givenchy comes with a big version, grandmother bag style that seems to have a lot of success. This is just another proof, in case you needed it, that classic models never go out of fashion.

When coming from such a rich leather, luxury and fashion related lineage as Gucci, how to escape the fate that guides you towards what you really are? This is probably the question that haunted Alessandro and Guccio Gucci, great-grandchildren of the founder of the legendary brand, Guccio Gucci. Starting from the idea that people never change and that the first love cannot be forgotten, they decided to create their own line of fashion and prove they are as good at designing clothes and accessories as their ancestors.

The global brand nowadays owned by PPR (Gucci Group), would have not forgiven the use of their name within the same industry. Therefore, they have chosen with no remorse “To Be G” as signature for their initial line of bags and shoes. Thus they avoided trademark infringement lawsuits and they also position themselves as a distinct brand on the market. They actually claim having their own vision and not trying to replicate the famous brand’s models.

This year marks the third season of their new original fashion story. After the first lines of bags which include both modern and classical designs, they even launch a collection of ready-to-wear clothing items such as jeans and leather jackets. Whether they come in the form of “grandma bags” or as innovative trendy skirts and trousers, all their products are valuable Italian trophies manufactured in the historical plant of the founding ancestor of the dynasty, in Scandicci near Florence. They are sold in some of the finest shops in Europe and bear all sorts of inspirations and patterns. Spanish matador cuts of leather jackets, floral embroideries crocheted on bags and clothes, stiletto heals combined with casual fur garnish, all their lines of products address those quality and price aware customers with a cultivated aesthetic sense.
