Casual Winter Clothes


 


The list below consists of ideas for casual winter clothes, for young girls as well as for women of all ages:

Coats and Jackets:

Woolen coats and denim and fleece jackets have been in fashion for quite some time now. These can be worn over sweaters or t-shirts and tops. Available in various colors you can pick the ones according to your style and requirement. Dark colors like black, brown and blue would look great during the winters, as they absorb heat.

Sweaters and Warmers:

These are one of the best and most important items of winter season. You do not get to wear them during any other season of the year so if you are really fond of them it is always better to follow the latest trends that appear in sweaters and warmers. You can pick the sweaters made of woolen or fleece and choose your style according to your body shape. For instance turtle neck, polo neck, cardigans and V-neck sweaters are available in various designs and colors.

Jeans and Trousers:
Red skinny jeans will be in fashion for the next winters. However, you first need to make sure that skinny jeans go well with your body frame, if you plan to buy them. Trousers made of wool look great and can be the best choice for professional women. They keep you warm and make you look decent and elegant.

Shoes and Boots:

High boots and closed shoes are what people would always prefer to wear during the winters. These shoes are normally made of leather and suede. Pick the ones that are cushioned from inside so that they keep your feet warm especially if you live in a place where there is heavy snowfall.

Reebok EasyTone Shoes

Reebok EasyTone Shoes are all the rage with balance pods that, as the advertisements claim, create instability which "encourages toning through increased muscle activation" in the glutes, hamstrings and calves. In theory, it makes sense that an unstable surface may activate your leg muscles in a different way, but does that lead to toned hips and thighs? There are no objective scientific studies to prove their claims and science already tells us that toned legs come from regular cardio and strength training. EasyTones may make being on your feet more comfortable, but they won't take the place of regular workouts.

The Claims

Easytones are designed with balance pods under the shoes. The idea is that these pods create a slight instability that forces your leg muscles to work harder, thus encouraging more toning. Reebok claims that these shoes will improve muscle tone in the glutes by 28% and the hamstrings and calves by 11%. The fitness models in their advertisements certainly make you think you'll end up with a butt so fabulous, you'll want it to hang out the bottom of your very short shorts. However, I was unable to find the actual study these numbers are based on, nor could I find any objective scientific studies on these shoes. As of now, there's no proof these claims are true.
These shoes are more for walking and won't offer the support or stability you need for high impact exercises such as running or for activities with a lot of lateral movement like tennis or basketball. They do offer different types of EasyTones, including a running version and casual flip flops.

Reported Issues

Many of my readers here have commented on their experience with EasyTones and most reports are positive. Many readers say the shoes are comfortable, especially for people on their feet all day. I found that they can be comfortable for walking, but that's probably the only activity I would personally use them for. However, these shoes aren't for everyone and some users had issues such as:
Numbness in the feet or toes - Some users reported numbness, especially in their toes. That may be because the shoe is cutting off the circulation. Some readers may find relief by wearing thinner socks, lacing the shoes in a different way or exchanging them for a different size.
Pain, soreness or injury - Some readers reported sore legs and calves after wearing the them and some reported lower back pain. Some even reported injuries that had to be treated by a doctor/physical therapist. It's hard to know what caused these problems, but they may be related to preexisting injuries, individual foot/arch differences, wearing them for long periods of time or for activities that require a different kind of support (running, tennis, etc.). To avoid injury, talk to your doctor before you buy the shoes if you already have an injury or pain in your joints or feet. You should also practice wearing them for short periods of time to see how your body responds.
Deflated pods - Some users also reported deflated pods, which can happen with any shoe with air-filled pockets. Check with your retailer about their return/replacement policy before you buy the shoes.

The Bottom Line

It's certainly possible these shoes will activate your legs more (and it certainly feels that way), but that doesn't mean you'll have more toned glutes and thighs because of it.
Your experience with this shoe will most likely depend on why you're buying it. If you're looking for drastic changes in your body or you want to look like some of the women wearing booty shorts in the EasyTone advertisements, no shoe, no matter how fabulous, can do that for you.
What we do know is that a pair of shoes isn't enough to change the shape of your hips, glutes and thighs unless, perhaps, you strap them to your thighs with a couple of weight for some squats and lunges. If you want to tone your body, you need to build muscle with strength training and lose body fat with cardio and a healthy diet. It's possible that you'll walk more with the EasyTones and that may contribute to burning more calories which is always a good thing. However, expecting more than that may leave you disappointed. If you're buying these shoes because you want a comfortable shoe that offers a different kind of support, you may be happy with the EasyTones.

Ladies, we all love killer heels but sometimes the most beautiful of shoes are inevitably the most uncomfortable. Although a true fashionista never let’s pain get in the way of style, the good people at Soliel Shoes have made being fashionable more comfortable than ever.

Choosing a Pair

 


For the biggest event for Muslims all across the globe, Eid-ul-Fitr, we want everything to be perfect. From our hair, to clothes, to footwear.
Shoes are a major part of one’s outfit and look. Most people buy footwear that match their clothes; others buy clothes that match their footwear.
Girls have a lot of variety in the kinds of footwear they can mix and match with their clothes. Slippers, flip flops, stilettos, platform heels, ballet flats, strappy sandals, boots…almost all kinds of footwear are available according to the type of style you want to pull off.
On Eid, most girls prefer looking posh and stylish. To go with their gorgeous kameezes they most often choose stilettos. But nowadays ballet flats and flat sandals are making their way through the fashion world fast and strong.
Ballet flats can go with almost all kinds of attire. You can wear them with, kameezes and casual jeans and tees.
Bata established the new trend of comfortable rubber ballet flats that are found in almost every colour to go with any outfit. Although the sandals are made merely for comfort, they pull off an extremely stylish look too.
Flat slippers have been the ‘in’ thing amongst footwear for a very long time now and they’re not anywhere near ready to go ‘out of fashion’ anytime soon.
Flat slippers used to be worn widely with kameezes, dresses, skirts, jeans and now they’re worn with saris too. Flat sandals are now available anywhere around Dhaka.
Every shoe store will present you with an ample collection of flat slippers. Now, in malls like Metro, you can get these flat slippers in stores that don’t even sell shoes.
Stilettos give you a very posh and sassy look. Most girls prefer stilettos for events as big as an Eid bash, classy weddings and trendy parties. The most probable reason for girls to opt for stilettos for such occasions is that stilettos give an optical illusion of longer legs, smaller feet and a greater overall height.
They also alter a wearer’s posture and gait by flexing the calf muscles and helping to straighten the backbone. A lot of people choose comfort over fashion, but when it comes to looking elegant, sophisticated and trendy at the same time, a pair ofstilettos will do the trick for you.
Strappy sandals are a must-have in every girl’s collection of shoes, whether they have a shoe fetish or not. To be a little more specific, these sandals have straps that go as far up as your calves.
You can get strappy sandals that are flat, with kitten heels or with high heels-whatever suits you best. This particular pair of sandals are bound to give you a more chic look and make you feel beautiful at the same time. They are perfect to wear with a posh Eid kameez and Patiala pyjamas!
For men, sandal shoes are very common during Eid. The trick that sandal shoes play is that they look good with a pair of jeans and they look just as pleasing with panjabi and pyjama. To get good pairs of sandal shoes, the store for you to go to is Bata. Apart from Bata there’s Apex, where it might get a little pricey but once you purchase a pair of their leather sandal shoes you’ll know it was all worth it!


 


Men also love flat sandals. Of course, their flats have a more masculine look and don’t have glitters, straps and so on, but they’re just as trendy and fashionable. Flat sandals for men serve the same purpose as the ones for women. They go with anything apart from formal apparels.
Jenny’s section for men can give you a good deal on men’s flats and they don’t just add trend to your outfit but they’ll serve you for a very, very long time too! Bata, Apex, and stores in Elephant road will give you good offers on flat slippers too.
Kolapuri sandals have been one of the most common for men’s footwear. They give off a very ethnic yet very deshi look. Kolapuri sandals usually have eastern ethnic designs on the straps that give you a very Asian feel.
Kolapuri sandals recently made their way through to women’s fashion as well. Now women not only wear panjabis but also wear good looking pair of kolapuris to look the part! The best kolapuris can be found in the stores of Elephant road and the market in Gulshan 2. They serve their exact purpose of giving you the deshi look you want and are comfortable to wear.
Nagras are also something that men and women both own. Nagras don’t just make you look fashionable; they tend to give you more of a royal look.
A big part of our subcontinental history has to do with Mughals and even back then they were fashionable and trendy! One of the main things that made them look their part was nagras. Yes, they date back to the 1600s!
Rakhi Shoes on Elephant Road is a store that sells good pairs of nagras. Apart from that, Bashundhara City and Rifles Square have countless shoe stores that offer nagras. These shoes are great for big occasions and sometimes go perfectly with Eid apparels.
Now, for people who don’t like dressing up too much and prefer to buy a new pair of jeans and a brand new trendy shirt or t-shirt for Eid, you would definitely want something strikingly fashionable and yet very cool and suave to go with your outfit.
Girls and boys, what you’re looking for is a pair of converse or vans shoes! I know people who literally treasure their pairs of vans or converse. They go well with skinny jeans, baggy jeans, straight cut pants, whatever it is! They give you a very cool yet trendy look and are perfect for people who like keeping things simple and chilled out.
You’ll get good pairs of converse or vans in stores around Elephant Road. A lot of stores in big malls will have what you want as well. Pick your kind to suit your style and make your feet look as fabulous as the rest of you for Eid!
