ARTESTAR’s Post

Move over LBD — it’s Little White Dress season. THE BACKSTORY: Just like Beyoncé’s influence on the resurgence of Cowboy Core, powerhouse Zendaya (alongside her never-gets-it-wrong stylist, Law Roach) has launched the latest spring and summer trend: Tennis Core. From custom Loewe pumps to racket-inspired gowns, Zendaya’s looks on the press tour of her film “Challengers” have served the country club chic look directly into the spotlight — and it’s here to stay. THE ESSENCE: The tennis motif is about more than the sport; it represents money, elegance, class, and refined living (see: Netflix’s “Break Point”). Brands are translating this into merchandise that is, to quote Gen Z, giving: preppy chic, country club athlete, and scholarly-yet-sweet. THE PLAYERS: From fashion houses like Lacoste and TORY BURCH, to newcomers like Recreational Habits, to elevated activewear brands like Alo Yoga and EleVen by Venus Williams, and even runways like CHANEL, tennis-inspired collections are IN. THE MUST-HAVES: 1. PLEATED SKIRTS (aka SKORTS): High-waisted, pleated skirts are easy-to-wear and flattering. And we haven’t even talked about the built-in shorts yet. 2. LIGHTWEIGHT FABRICS: Comfort is queen for tennis mania, both on and off the court. Brands focus on light and stretchy fabrics, like Alo’s “100% summer weight cotton,” keeping everything from polos to pullovers fresh. 3. ATHLEISURE: It’s all about Après Tennis. Alo's tennis capsule features five sporty-chic knits — a cardigan, pullover, sports bra, dress, and tennis skirt — perfect for the court, the club, and beyond. Their email campaign highlighted the “softly structured and perfectly preppy” pieces that your closet needs. Marketing these as wardrobe essentials encourages consumers to invest in luxury apparel with dual sport and style functionality. 4. TENNIS JEWELRY: Leading the minimalist jewelry trend, tennis necklaces were last year’s biggest jewelry trend with a 27% increase in interest, driven by TikTok. Tennis jewelry is versatile, pairing with everything from bikinis to Vivienne Westwood gowns. And we can’t forget the tennis bracelet, popularized by Chris Evert in the 1987 US Open. 5. STRIPES AND V’s: From knit tops to sweater vests, the simple stripe and tasteful v-neck is in. Bonus points if it’s a matching set. 6. Wimbledon WHITES: From crisp polos to the little white dress, and tube socks to trainers, white is the color of the season. THE BOTTOM LINE: Tenn-IS in. And all this writing about Tennis Core is making me want to… watch someone else play as I sip my drink courtside (wearing my best white outfit, of course). THE QUESTION: Got a favorite TC outfit or brand that’s serving it just right?

Illusion Dressing with wide leg denim👖 Wide leg denim is still going strong as a fashion trend. But this style can be tricky if you are shorter and/or have thicker thighs. 😳😳😳 But… if you know what to look for, you can be successful in finding a style that works for you. I was skeptical about trying any denim for myself labeled “palazzo”. Palazzo or very wide leg pants in general make me look like an Umpa-Lumpa… if you know what I mean. 😞😞😞 But… this particular pair of jeans has some great characteristics that make them fabulous for me or anyone who has curvy hips and or thicker thighs. 👍👍👍 1. They have fabulous stretch which hugs curves wonderfully, giving you a “ they were made for me” flattering fit. 2. The thickness of the denim is perfect to hide and lumps/bumps, but is also not too thick to add bulk. 3. Most importantly, the shading on the leg creates a visual slimming to the thigh. Notice the arrows- they point to the fact that the center of the thigh is lighter while the outer portion is darker. Darker colors recede, thereby making my thighs look slimmer. ☺️🎉☺️ I’m always saying “it’s all about illusion gals”… So if you have a curvy silhouette, try looking for a similar play of light and dark shading on your jeans. Conversely, if you are straighter through the hips, look for wide leg denim with large patch pockets at the hips. The wide pockets will instantly give you more curve!! 👖👖👖 If you want to check out the jeans in the photo click the Nordstrom catalog link in the comments. These Frame jeans are the first pair in the contemporary denim section. 👍👍👍 #widelegjeans #widelegpants #wideleg #TheArtistryofYou #fashiontipsforwomen #personalshopper #imageconsultant #personalstylist #womensupportingwomen

I've transformed over 100 closets (and counting.) Here are the 5️⃣ most versatile pieces all professional women should own, regardless of size, age, or job title. ➡ The Crisp White Shirt – It doesn't necessarily have to be a classic button-down. A go-to white shirt is a trusty sidekick for ANY season. It pairs well with basically anything work or play.  A white shirt keeps things sleek and polished without trying too hard. #effortlessstylegoals ➡ Killer Jeans – Finding the perfect pair is like discovering a unicorn. But once you do, it's a game-changer. Every woman deserves jeans that make her feel extraordinary. (Believe me, they DO exist and I can help you find them.) You only need 1 or 2 solid pairs in your wardrobe arsenal ... not 10. ➡ A No-Fail All-Black Ensemble – Beyond the LBD (little black dress), an all-black outfit is your no-fail fit. It's ready for any occasion, from flights to offices and happy hours. Make it instantly more stylish mixing different textures. For example, pair black leather with silk or cashmere and suede shoes. ➡ A Statement Blazer – If you've been here before you know I'm a fan of a great blazer. It's the sophisticated chameleon that transforms any outfit. They always deliver instant chic. Case in point: I’ve styled my go-to Ted Baker blue blazer with jeans, a graphic tee, and sneakers, as easily as I do for a more polished look (like above.) ➡ Chic Flats or Sneakers – I’m not talking about basic gym shoes or worn-out flats. Fun flats can be a chic alternative to heels when you want to look polished without discomfort. Just remember: flats pair best with pants or jeans—wearing them with skirts or dresses can sometimes shorten your frame or look frumpy.  Don't shoot the messenger. These staples are just a few that form the foundation of smart effortless style. Comment below on which one is your favorite. I'm curious. #EffortlessStyle #WardrobeStylist #StyleTips #PersonalBrand #WomenWhoLead #ExecutivePresence

Who really dictates the trends? We often think it’s the designers, but look closer, the real trendsetters are the guests walking the streets. The bold, unapologetic individuals who dare to reimagine fashion in their everyday lives. The streets have become just as influential as the runway, and this season’s STREET STYLE was the perfect reminder. Across London, Milan, Copenhagen, New York, and Paris, the attendees made as much of an impact as the designers. Here’s what we learned from their style evolution: 📍 LONDON – It was all about statement socks. Whether paired with loafers or heels, this unexpected accessory added a quirky, cool touch. Proof that the smallest details can transform an outfit. 📍 MILAN – The snake-skin boot ruled. Bold and confident, these boots spoke volumes without saying a word. It’s a reminder that the right piece can instantly elevate your entire look. 📍 COPENHAGEN – Oversized shirts dominated. Think of it as a masterclass in proportions. The Danish effortlessly embraced oversized silhouettes, showing that balance isn’t always necessary for style. 📍 NEW YORK – Denim on denim made a major comeback. From distressed jackets to layered washes, it’s clear that denim is the ultimate chameleon of fashion. Who said it was only for the weekends? 📍 PARIS – The belt took center stage. Cinched waists, once a classic, made a fresh appearance. One simple accessory turned ‘meh’ outfits into wow-worthy statements. The takeaway? Street style is just as powerful as runway fashion. So, as you prep your wardrobe for the season ahead, remember this: fashion isn’t dictated from the top down. It’s curated by YOU, the bold, the daring, the everyday trendsetters walking the streets. Let’s keep it unexpected. Keep it fun. And most of all, keep it authentic. And girls, always wear your confidence like it’s couture. - Carolina Personal Stylist #FashionWeek #StreetStyle #PersonalStylist Aaron Toumazou hug

How are we feeling about the wider leg denim? I purchased a super wide pair last year, and I plan to wear them a lot this season. So comfy. A tucked top or a slim top works best with this silhouette. Regardless of trends, one must wear what works for their frame and what they love. Changing silhouettes isn’t always that simple. Embrace the new as much as possible, stay curious and open, and don’t get stuck. But be true to yourself. #imageconsultant #bethanysiggins #stylecoach #imageconsulting

Heavy Contouring: Can look unnatural and be time-consuming to apply. 5. Micro Bags: Stylish but hardly functional due to their tiny size. What do you think is overrated and gets too much hype?
