are a staple of fall fashion
Take a world cuisine dining tour close to home
Staycations can be perfect ways to rest and recharge without having to travel far from home. Staycations tend to be affordable ways to spend time together for those who perhaps do not have the budget to travel or those who simply prefer the convenience of remaining nearby.
A break from meal planning and preparation is part of the allure of traditional vacations. But just because you’re choosing a staycation does not mean you need to cook nightly meals. In fact, staycations can be ideal times to explore the dining opportunities your local community offers — even providing a way to “tour the world” through global cuisine. Many small towns and cities boast various types of restaurants that offer a wide array of foods from countries around the world. The following are tips for maximizing your staycation dining experience.
• Utilize technology. Let technology work for you when looking for restaurants. While a simple Google search will yield plenty of results, the app LocalEats can
Denim jeans are an important fashion staple. Jeans can function as casual wear but also work when paired with a blazer or button-down shirt.
While denim will always be a part of many people’s wardrobes, styles of jeans come and go. Certain cuts and colors will always be popular, but by scouring the runways and keeping their eyes peeled on designers’ latest offerings, budding fashionistas may find they can have a lot of fun with denim.
CROPPED
Cropped jeans, which end at or above the ankle, have been a fan favorite for a while. Cropped styles are available from designers, but DIYers can create this look themselves with a sharp pair of scissors. Showing some ankle is chic, and these jeans pair well with just about any shoe, whether it’s a ballet flat, sandal, stiletto or sneaker.
SKINNY JEANS
The popularity of skinny jeans shows little signs of slowing down. A comfortable blend of denim and stretch, these jeans hug curves and taper at the ankle. Ideal for fall, they easily tuck into tall boots or can be cuffed and worn with shorter booties or ballet flats. Less rigid than mom jeans, they’re cozy enough to feel like yoga pants but look more tailored when stepping out.
MOM JEANS
The mom-jean trend is going strong. Mom jeans are midwash, nonstretch, straight-leg jeans that tend to have high waists. They’re just about everywhere right now. And because they’re timeless, investing in a pair means being able to pull them out every couple of years and be right on trend.
Jeans are always in season, and knowing the styles and cuts that work for your wardrobe can help expand your choices.
FULL-LENGTH FLARES
Remember the boot-cut jeans of the 1990s? Today’s incarnations are a little more flared and boast a groovy appeal, borrowing a little from the flower-power styles of decades ago. These full-length favorites can work well with a little heel. And when done in a dark wash, they can easily be dressed up for a night out. Many straight-leg and flared varieties are now being embellished with high-rise waists and button flies for even more styling power.
Jeans are here to stay with ever- evolving styles. Check out the newest offerings from popular designers such as Eve Denim, Rag & Bone, Slvrlake, Sea, 3x1 and more.
