Hot necks: Summer scarves

by webteam | July 24, 2008
In Boston, scarves usually stir up images of knee-high snow drifts and schlepping through the midwinter slush, or the contrived and so-over-it Burberry wool number seen all over town for years. But scarves in lightweight, breathable cotton blends have...

Hot chicks: Women riding Harleys

by webteam | July 24, 2008
Maybe it’s because they’re looking for something big, powerful, and vibrating to sit on. Or perhaps it’s the notoriously smooth ride that’s so appealing. Get your mind out of the gutter — we’re talking about women as the fastest-growing segment of new...

Hot fashion inspiration: Real people

by webteam | July 24, 2008
Nothing makes us feel worse about ourselves than seeing a stone-faced leggy model strutting the runway in an outfit that could fit a preteen. But thanks to photo blogs like the Sartorialist, Last Night’s Party, Fashionista, and Stylesight, we’ve seen...

Hot...and hot: The new crop of supermodels

by webteam | July 24, 2008
If there’s anyone who can show you a few things about being hot (besides Stuff@night, of course), it’s got to be the fabulous foursome. We’re talking about Doutzen Kroes , Caroline Trentini , Agyness Deyn , and Coco Rocha . Not ringing any bells? That...

Hot history: Grecian-inspired clothes

by webteam | July 24, 2008
Aphrodite, Persephone, and Athena were total babes, worshipped by an entire culture. Granted, they were considered goddesses. But Helen of Troy, she was a real woman, and a whole war was fought over her! This alone leads us to believe that Greek women...

Hot ash: Gray jeans

by webteam | July 24, 2008
We’re tired of black jeans: they stir up memories of emo concerts and scrawny college boys with smaller pants than us. And white jeans? You run the risk of being Miami Vice’d or floral-underwear-lady. That’s why we’re so excited about gray denim. Somewhere...

Hot without paparazzi: Normal people

by webteam | July 24, 2008
Thank God no one sees you all those Saturday mornings when you sneak from home to the gym in that old ripped college T-shirt, sporting a hangover like a pair of Nikes. And what about that time you went on a date with Mr. Not-So-Attractive-But-You’re-In...

Hot cut: The bob

by webteam | July 24, 2008
Thanks to style icon Victoria Beckham, 1920s-inspired classic bobs made a major comeback this year (the Spice Girls might not be so lucky), and they’re staying short, layered, and modern for the summer. Bobs work well with most face shapes, but are particularly...

Hot hiss: Snakeskin

by webteam | July 24, 2008
We don’t know when someone decided that reptile prints were sexy; we think it might date back to around 2001, when Britney draped a snake over her neck at the VMAs. Regardless, well-placed snakeskin-print accessories are making us feel steamy this summer...

Hot wallets: Jack Spade accessories

by webteam | July 24, 2008
Most men, particularly our beloved Boston boys, subscribe to the no-nonsense approach to dressing. For an accessory to make it into their wardrobes, it’s got to be simple, practical, and well-made. This explains why we’ve been seeing canvas messenger...

Hot and high: Necklines

by webteam | July 24, 2008
The last time you wore a turtleneck was probably to conceal a hickey you got from the boy next door. Now you can get nostalgic as necklines on dresses, tops, and sweaters creep up for fall. But covering up doesn’t mean that sexiness levels have to go...

Hot mother earth: Green beauty

by webteam | July 24, 2008
Even our faces have gone green with natural beauty products that are good for the planet and for our bodies. They’re made without harsh chemicals and artificial fragrances, so you might think these products don’t pack the same punch as their mainstream...

Hot bottoms: New denim stores

by webteam | July 24, 2008
We always knew Boston was wicked smaht, but a couple of new stores have added some pure jeanius to our shopping options. True Religion Brand Jeans (119 Newbury Street, Boston, 617.585.3050) brought their hot bottoms to Boston with the opening of their...

Hot, squared: Concepts and the Tannery

by webteam | July 24, 2008
Near the home of an institution marked by tradition, it’s refreshing to see two Harvard Square shops with innovative face-lifts. Concepts (37 Brattle Street, Cambridge, 617.868.2001) and the Tannery (39 Brattle Street, Cambridge, 617.491.0810) have expanded...

Hot and mysterious: Dark clothing for men

by webteam | July 24, 2008
In a fitting trends for uncertain times, menswear is going slightly gloomy for fall. Not to worry: the looks aren’t dismal or dreary, just charcoal trousers, maroon button-downs, dark overcoats, and lots of black-on-black looks. Look for Nom De Guerre...
