Straw hats are a huge trend 

Straw hats are a huge trend for summer, resort season, and are surprisingly great for those sunny fall days. They're fun, comfortable, and an easy way to add some color, texture, and dimension to your outfit. If you've never tried wearing straw hats before, now's the time!

Straw hats are the perfect accessory for adding some fun to your looks this season—and they come in all sorts of styles: from cute boaters and bucket hats to large sunhats that cover your entire body like an umbrella. No matter which style you choose, there's no denying that these accessories will elevate any look!

Today I am showing you how I style straw hats to create a look that is all about casual luxury. I assembled the look making sure is comfortable, but also stylish and fun.

Welcome back to Fashion Fab News! It has been a while, I know! 

I think 2020 forced us into a deep introspection of our lives and what matters the most for our present and near future. In my case, I didn't feel my own self and had to work hard trying to heal, understand other people, and learn more about my life in general. 

Something that always helps me when I am separated from myself, it is walking in nature. This year visiting different national parks or regular city parks with my family has been something that grounds me and makes me feel better immediately. It is nice to appreciate nature and its beauty while exercising and talking to your loved ones.

Today I want to share with you one of my family's adventures in nature. We wanted to visit the BALANCED ROCK in North Salem, NY which it's a historical sacred site with a geological feature that has a fascinating shape and energy around it. On our way to this place, we couldn't resist ourselves to stop on the side of the road and appreciate the beautiful lake and natural scenery. 

Two weeks before this short trip, WARDROBE approached me to let me know more about their clothing renting services and how they are helping the fashion industry to be more sustainable with their system. Some of you that have been following me would know that I am a sustainable fashion designer and that this journey has changed me a lot. I was excited to try their renting service because they have luxury brands, their prices for renting are accessible and it was around my birthday date.  

Renting clothes is gaining a lot of popularity because we are caring more and more about our planet, people and what we wear. With a service like WARDROBE, we can try different styles and avoid unnecessary shopping sprees. We all know that one of the environmental crimes of the fashion industry is the OVERPRODUCTION and at least with these fashion renting services we can reduce the excessive consumerism of this season.

Bienvenidos de nuevo a Fashion Fab News! ¡Ha pasado mucho tiempo, lo sé!
Creo que 2020 nos obligó a hacer una profunda introspección de nuestras vidas y de lo que más importa para nuestro presente y futuro cercano. En mi caso, no me sentía a yo misma y tuve que trabajar duro para tratar de curarme, comprender a otras personas y aprender más sobre mi vida en general.

Algo que siempre me ayuda cuando estoy separada de mí misma es caminar en la naturaleza. Este año, visitar diferentes parques nacionales o parques regulares de la ciudad con mi familia ha sido algo que me motiva y me hace sentir mejor de inmediatamente. Es agradable apreciar la naturaleza y su belleza mientras haces ejercicio y habla con sus seres queridos.

Hoy quiero compartir con ustedes una de las aventuras de mi familia en la naturaleza. Queríamos visitar a BALANCED ROCK en North Salem, NY, que es un sitio histórico sagrado con una creación geológica que tiene una forma y energía fascinantes a su alrededor. De camino a este lugar, no pudimos resistirnos a detenernos al costado de la carretera y apreciar el hermoso lago y el paisaje natural.

Dos semanas antes de este breve viaje, WARDROBE se acercó a mí para informarme más sobre sus servicios de alquiler de ropa y cómo están ayudando a la industria de la moda a ser más sostenible con su sistema. Algunos de ustedes que me han estado siguiendo sabrán que soy una diseñadora de moda sostenible y que este camino me ha cambiado demasiado. Estaba muy emocionado de probar su servicio de alquiler porque tienen marcas de lujo, sus precios de alquiler son accesibles y era alrededor de mi fecha de cumpleaños.
El alquiler de ropa está ganando mucha popularidad porque nos preocupamos cada vez más por nuestro planeta, las personas y lo que vestimos. Con un servicio como WARDROBE, podemos probar diferentes estilos y evitar las compras innecesarias. Todos sabemos que uno de los delitos ambientales de la industria de la moda es la SOBREPRODUCCIÓN y al menos con estos servicios de alquiler de ropa podemos reducir el consumismo excesivo de esta temporada.

How I Wear Biker Shorts For A Glam Look ?

How I Wear Biker Shorts For A Glam Look ?

Biker Shorts Outfit Fashion Blogger NYC Cycle Shorts Runway

I am sure that by now, you are more than aware that the biker shorts trend has been in our faces for at least one year or more. I have always hated shorts all my life, and when I started seeing people wearing this style, my anxiety went to the roof. I don't always follow all the trends that I get exposed to, but for some reason, I loved seeing people wearing biker shorts and how cool these can be styled.
I decided to research more about biker shorts in the fashion world since I love researching and trend forecasting. I wanted to know if these shorts have been used by high-end designers before and not only by fashion influencers for Instagram. I was looking for styles from previous seasons that might have inspired people to start this trend, and curiously enough, I found some designers for menswear and womenswear that preceded the boom of the recent resurgence of the biker shorts. 

According to my research, this trend started as activewear. Basically, it was another athletic piece that people adapted to their everyday wardrobe ( Pretty obvious, right?). But the most significant influence for the return of this trend is the fact that we are translating all the 80's and 90's sportswear references to our everyday wardrobes. 

To my surprise, I found biker shorts in catwalks for menswear dated in 2015 by Jeremy Scott with Addidas; also, a look from Margiela that had this trench coat + cycle short combo in 2016 - this style is now commonly worn by trendy guys on social media. In terms of womenswear collections, Opening Ceremony had a collaboration with Chloe Sevigny ('90s-'00s fashion icon) in 2012, and Dolce and Gabbana showed a version of biker shorts with lingerie for their Spring 15 catwalk. 

Of course, the history of biker shorts starts way back than 2012, but I wanted to learn more about the last decade and who put the biker shorts back into our radar. I also found great examples of fashion designers from the 80s who implemented this style. Azzedine Alaïa, for his Fall 1988 collection, used a ribbed knit yellow fabric for biker shorts and paired it with an oversized crop jacket with huge lapels. This is pretty much the silhouette we use nowadays [PHOTO REFERENCE]Probably in the 1930s, when cycling became more accessible, and people starting recreationally practicing the sport was when biker shorts were introduced in the athletic and fashion world. 

Now I believe that I rock this style and make it my own, but since I wasn't a huge fan of shorts before, I wanted to "glamify" my look. I chose a safe option for this outfit to see how I felt about this trend. I matched a pair of black biker shorts that have a silver ring zipper puller detail with an oversized black blazer and a white high-neck top with criss-cross strap details and added silver accessories that match the zipper of the shorts. The sunglasses and purse are fantastic; I love the extreme cat-eye style from Foster Grant sunglasses and the holographic effect of this small purse. For shoes, I wore my strappy heel sandals, and I think they elevated the look altogether. But I would love to know if you wear biker shorts and if you like how I styled them? What other ways would you rock these shorts?  
I would like to hear your opinion and see your looks too.
Thanks for reading,
Lina Mayorga

Estoy segura de que a estas alturas, estás más que consciente de que la tendencia de los shorts de ciclista han estado en muy presente en el mundo de la moda durante al menos un año o más. La verdad es que siempre he odiado los shorts toda mi vida, y cuando comencé a ver personas luciendo este estilo, mi ansiedad se subió al techo. Yo soy alquien que no siempre sigue todas las tendencias que se me exponenen, pero por alguna razón, me encanta ver a las personas con estos shorts de motociclista o biker y lo geniales que se pueden combinar.
Decidí investigar más sobre los biker shorts en el mundo de la moda ya que me encanta investigar y pronosticar tendencias. Quería saber si estos shorts han sido utilizados por diseñadores de alta gama antes y no solo por personas influyentes de la moda para Instagram. Empecé buscando estilos de temporadas anteriores que podrían haber inspirado a las personas a comenzar esta tendencia de nuevo, y curiosamente encontré algunos diseñadores para ropa de hombre y mujer que precedieron al auge del reciente resurgimiento de los pantalones cortos de motociclista.

Según mi investigación, esta tendencia comenzó como ropa deportiva. Básicamente, era otra pieza atlética que la gente adapto a su vestuario cotidiano (bastante obvio, ¿verdad?). Pero la influencia más importante para el regreso de esta tendencia es el hecho de que estamos traduciendo todas las referencias de ropa deportiva de los años 80 y 90 a nuestros armarios cotidianos.

Para mi sorpresa, encontré shorts de motociclista en las pasarelas de ropa masculina fechadas a 2015 por Jeremy Scott con Addidas, también encontré que Margiela tenía esta combinación de gabardina + chicle de biker corto en 2016: este estilo ahora lo usan comúnmente los hombre en las redes sociales. En términos de colecciones de ropa de mujer, Opening Ceremony tuvo una colaboración con Chloe Sevigny (ícono de la moda de los años 90 y 2000) en 2012, y Dolce y Gabbana mostraron una versión de pantalones cortos de motociclista mezclados con estilo lencería para su pasarela Primavera 2015.

Por supuesto, la historia de los biker shorts no comienza en 2012, pero quería aprender más sobre la última década y quién puso ahora los pantalones cortos de biker en nuestro radar. También encontré excelentes ejemplos de diseñadores de moda de los años 80 que implementaron este estilo. Azzedine Alaïa para su colección de otoño de 1988 usó un tejido amarillo de punto acanalado para pantalones cortos de motociclista y lo combinó con una chaqueta corta de gran tamaño con enormes solapas. Esta es más o menos la silueta que usamos hoy en día [REFERENCIA FOTOGRÁFICA]. Probablemente en la década de 1930 cuando el ciclismo se hizo más accesible y las personas comenzaron a practicar el deporte de manera recreativa fue en evrdad cuando se introdujeron los shorts de ciclista en el mundo del atletismo y la moda.

Ahora creo que me va muy bien este estilo y lo puedo hacer mío, pero como no era una gran fanática de los shorts antes, quería darle algo de glam a mi look. Elegí una opción segura para este atuendo para ver cómo me sentía con respecto a esta tendencia. Combiné un par de biker shorts que tienen un detalle de anillo en la cremallera plateada con un blazer negro oversized y un top blanco de cuello alto con detalles de tiras entrecruzada y accesorios plateados adicionales que combinan con la cremallera de los pantalones cortos. Las gafas de sol y el bolsito son increíbles; me encanta el estilo extremo de ojo de gato de las gafas de la marca Foster Grant y el estilo holográfico del bolso. Para los zapatos, usé mis sandalias de tacón con tiras y creo que elevaron el look por completo. Pero ustedes que opinan? Te gustan los biker shorts y como los usas?  
Me encataria saber tu opinión. 
Gracias por leer,
Lina Mayorga.
