TREND SPOT: TIE-TOP PANTS

As hot summer days turn into chilly fall evenings, we’re looking for versatile garment that can pull a double duty. One of the summer’s trends that can easily be carried over to fall are the tie-top pants. What exactly are tie-top pants, you say? They are similar to harem pants in that they are loose, but the waist is gathered with a string, belt or bow. Depending on the fabric and the styling, they can be dressy or casual. As with other loose styles, tie-top pants are practically begging for a tucked-in shirt to emphasize the figure. Here’s some inspiration on how to add this style to your swag collection.


Roberto Cavalli keeps it loose and layered, don’t forget the heels for a feminine touch.

Matthew Williamson – always a Zebreezy favorite – is never afraid of color. Here’s a sophisticated take on tie-dye and a couple of super trendy work-appropriate looks. I still can’t get over those shoes!

A shiny, crispy fabric makes Isaac Mizrahi’s looks more formal. Even though he continues the oversize theme with the jacket, the skintight body underneath is the figure-flattering focal point.

Burberry offers an updated rider-look and a fun way to wear your strappy sandals in the fall.

Whether it’s a loose pull over or a button-up sweater, Sonia Rykiel and Tory Burch show you that you can still tuck it in.

Jenny Kayne channeling a hippie vibe.

And for those holding on to summer just a little longer, a few short looks. Tie-top bubble skirt at Matthew Williamson.

Shorts work too, at Thakoon and Tory Burch.

Dress Like Gossip Girl – Serena loves Matthew Williamson

If you have watched Gossip Girl these days, then you may have notice that Serena (Blake Lively) loves wearing beaded fashion items with luxury bohemian touch, in fact they are from Matthew Williamson! First it was the Matthew Williamson antique beaded vest, which beautifully matched with Chanel jewel necklace,Joie Pleated Silk Tank ( $154.00) and Bottega Veneta Ostrich Bag. I love this outfit except the blue skirt.

The other one is also from also from Matthew Williamson, it ’s a black beaded silk chiffon dress with detailed beaded trims pn sleeves and neckline. You can now find a similar Matthew Williamson dress with different cutting at Net-A-Porter for $1,510. If you are looking for similar luxury bohemian beaded dress with limited budget, then check out H&M, as I saw a similar black beaded tunic with silver and grey beads, which are different from Matthew Williamson one in multi blue and yellow color ….. but with a little creativity, a little DIY on the H&M one may turn the dress look like a Matthew Williamson replica!
