by webteam | July 24, 2008

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 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 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 bottoms: New denim stores

by webteam | July 24, 2008

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...

Hot feet: Sneakers

by webteam | July 21, 2008
Sneaker culture isn’t new to Boston, but it certainly is alive and kicking. It’s been moving toward the mainstream in the last few years, thanks (or not) to the Internet and collaborations between artists and popular sneaker companies that deliver more...

Hot pants: Pants that fit like jeans

by webteam | July 21, 2008
