Pearls have stood the test of time as a symbol of grace, femininity, and classic style. As women in the Black Feminine Society, embracing the allure of pearls allows us to pay homage to the elegance of our heritage while embracing our own unique sense of style. So, celebrate your individuality, adorn yourself with pearls, and radiate confidence and refinement wherever you go!

An opportunity to try this is coming up! ITS HOLIDAY SEASON 🎄🎊💗 Pearls can add a touch of elegance and sophistication to your Christmas or New Year's Eve looks:

(Ex. A Pearl-Embellished Sweater: Opt for a cozy sweater with pearl embellishments. It can be a classic white sweater with a few scattered pearls or a statement piece with a pearl-encrusted neckline. Pair it with tailored trousers or a skirt for a chic holiday look.)

The key is to keep the focus on the pearls without overwhelming the rest of your outfit. Choose one or two statement pearl pieces and let them shine.

Remember, the history, elegance, and versatility of pearls make them the perfect accessory for any occasion. Wear them proudly, and embrace the timeless allure they bring to your outfits.

What is the proper length I should hem my pants?

Short answer:

Somewhere in between a full break and no break. I personally ask for a quarter break because I like the clean look, and it adds some height to my silhouette.

———

Negative break and no break have been popular in the last 10 years, but in my opinion, they have made their way out of fashion. On the flip side, allowing your shoes to be swallowed in billowy, full break trousers is a master level style swerve best left for fashion experts looking to make a statement.

There’s no surprise to those that have followed me for a long time that I land somewhere in the middle. Half break or quarter break hemmed pants provide a clean silhouette and will add some height to the overall look.

Proper cloth has some more detailed information on what to ask for or look for at the tailor when getting your pants hemmed here:

Indie Sleaze: 5 item shopping list

My non-negotiable 5 clothing items to live your indie sleaze truth, written as 2000s/2010s fashion historian.

Ballet Flats

Worn by school-teachers and it girls alike, ballet flats have always been a staple in fashion history, especially in the late 2000s and 2010s. For a first time wearer a simple black flat is a safe bet as it can be paired with anything, but if you want to sleaze it up, opt for a metallic or glitter variation. Something to note about indie sleaze fashion is that the more extra it feels, the better it looks, so don't hold back on cool, funky, flats. These can be found in thrift stores, department stores, and all over Amazon.

Metallic Fabric

Since the dawn of rave/party culture, glamorous lamé fabrics have used for just about every article of clothing possible. Cheaper spandex alternatives rose to popularity as The Cobra Snake era partying merged into mainstream. Shiny red leggings paired with a black cropped tank was peak casual 2010s sleaze attire. A great place to find styles like this is Los Angeles Apparel aka American Apparels re-brand. Though they no longer sell the fun colored disco pants and shorts, the lamé collection offers a variety of shiny colorful items with that trustworthy AA quality. Other places to look are party supply stores, poshmark/depop/ebay, rave shops, and of course Amazon.

Ultra Feminine Dresses

One of the most underrated pioneers of indie sleaze fashion is model and t.v. personality Alexa Chung. While Alexa is often grouped with the Twee (shopping list coming soon) and hipster aesthetics of the 2010s her ability to blend soft girlish dresses with last nights makeup allows for an uber sleazy effect. Mini shifts, polka dotted a-lines, and vintage baby-dolls all work as long as you pair them with unkempt hair and grungy tights to keep the edge, bonus points if your dress has a peter pan collar or your tights have rips. You can find these practically anywhere but start at your local thrift store as they usually have large selections of outdated dresses that were popular during this time period. Alternatively look at department stores, vintage/antique markets, and you guessed it Amazon.

Ringer Tee's and Shorts

Before athleisure was an over-saturated mess of "flare leggings" and Lululemon we took inspiration from student athletes everywhere with the iconic ringer tee's and ringer shorts. Getting their name from the contrasting ring of fabric outlining the seams of the article, ringer style pieces were seen everywhere and worn with everything. Both such versatile basics that could be kept casual or dressed up that you might see a ringer tee with a skirt, or ringer shorts with stockings and a blouse. Los Angeles Apparel has great options for both the shirts and the shorts, places like Walmart and Target often carry ringer shorts, and Forever 21 with great ringer tees, and as always Amazon.

Stockings/Tights

It doesn't matter if they're black, white, multicolored, fish-netted, or opaque, stockings always find a way to elevate a basic look and is often what takes an outfit from mainstream to indie sleaze. Don't worry about buying a super nice quality pair as stockings look best with ripping seams and enormous holes. But don't tear them with a fork like those tiktok girls did in 2020, it screams try hard as a real indie sleaze girl would rip them via dancing, curb sitting, and drunken stumbling. Just like the dresses, you can find tights anywhere. However I don't recommend secondhand as they are technically an undergarment and it's hard to ensure the level of cleanliness.

Change your pillowcases weekly

Eat plenty of produce & drink lots of water

Prioritize sleep

Limit or eliminate alcohol, cigarettes, caffeine, and processed foods/sugary drinks

Keep your skin exfoliated/derma-planed

Take ample care of your natural hair:

Use high-quality shampoo/conditioner combos that suit your hair type & don't cause build-up

Hydrate with a scalp mask 1-4 times a month

Use cold or lukewarm water to wash your hair

Apply shampoo to the roots/hair covering your scalp and conditioner only on the "ponytail" section of your hair

Use a specialty hair towel after getting out of the shower

Always comb wet hair and brush 1-3 times a day when dry

Limit heat on your hair when possible & always use a heat protectant every time you do

Use non-elastic or silk hair ties

Get regular trims at least 3-4 times per year (get your hair layered if it's very thick)

Try to limit how much you dye or, especially bleach, your hair and do elaborate styles with tons of heat & harsh products

Dress in crisp neutral outfits that cater to your body shape:

Embrace minimalist basics (tees, tanks, blouses, sweaters, jeans, trousers, blazers, leather jackets, coats, etc.) in high-quality fabrics (Pima cotton, Merino wool, Tencel, mulberry silk, etc.)

Choose options in black, white, grey, charcoal beige, navy, burgundy, or cream depending on your skin tone and preferences

Invest in a collection of sleek footwear options (black boots, loafers, black pumps, white sneakers, etc.) in minimalist, timeless styles that suit the color palette, hemlines & proportions of your go-to outfits

Ensure your shoes and accessories feel proportional to the weight/silhouette of your outfit, color-coordinate with the rest of your look, and have streamlined hardware from head-to-toe (all silver, all gold, or one piece that mixes silver/gold and another gold & silver piece each to balance out the color palette)

Keep all of your clothes steam and lint-rolled, so they look crisp & fresh all-day

Befriend your tailor to take in or let out clothes as needed when purchased off the rack

Choose clothes/styles that flatter your body shape and proportions

Utilize belts and bra tape to adjust the waist, keep shirts tucked in, and keep straps from falling down or create an impromptu cuff/hem on your pants

When in doubt, select a neutral head-to-toe monochrome outfit

If on a budget, consider choosing black, grey, camel beige items to hide fabric imperfections that could cheapen your look

Choose your accessories wisely:

Select sleek, simple neutral (& almost exclusively) monochrome shoes made with smooth (recycled/vegan) leather with

Pair almost any outfit with a shoe featuring a slight platform, block heel, kitten heel, and/or a sharply pointed toe to elongate your silhouette

Complement your outfit with structured, pared-back handbags with no logos (Focus on quality and construction, not the brand name) in a neutral shade and timeless silhouette

For jewelry, choose at most one statement piece and all others should be focused on different areas of the body (e.g. don't mix statement earrings with layered/bold necklaces or stacked rings * bracelets). When in doubt, choose simple diamond chains or earrings, sleek bangles or chainlink necklaces & bracelets, simple pendant necklaces, and minimalist rings in hardware that all go together

Embrace feature-enhancing makeup:

Cover up any dark circles, blemishes, or hyperpigmentation with a color-matched concealer

Lightly contour with a bronzer that complements your skin tone

Fill in your brows for a naturally full look (or get them professionally tinted)

Apply a light wash of rose, coral, or mauve blush

Use black mascara with a little bit of eyeliner and/or a subtle wash of brown eyeshadow on the lids

Apply a "your lips but better" nude shade or "just kissed' berry lipstick or pigmented lip balm for a subtle wash of color

Keep your nails clean, filed, and simple:

Maintain cut, cleaned, and filed short nails

Opt for a square or almond nail shape

Choose a timeless nail shade (pink, nude, red, beige, dark cherry, navy, dark purple, black) with no nail art

Hydrate your hands and scrub under your nails daily

Regarding your signature scent(s):

Ensure your body wash/lotion and perfume scents don't clash

Test perfumes for a trial day to ensure they smell divine with your unique pheromones

Choose a fragrance appropriate for the seasonal/occasion

Apply a dab on each wrist and on your neck/behind the ears. If the scent doesn't project well on you, try applying these small dabs on the cuffs and shoulders of your jacket/walk into it to get it on your hair (if it would stain your clothes)

Don't layer more than one heady perfume at a time or scents that don't have complementary and/or shared notes

Follow your dental & bodily hygiene routines religiously:

Floss every day (after each meal if possible)

Brush your teeth with an electric toothbrush twice a day

Have mints on hand if you're a garlic, spice, or coffee lover

Keep your lips & hands well-moisturized and protected with SPF

Shower your body daily and be extra diligent in scrubbing your privates, everything behind, and under your arms

Don't use very hot water in the shower (it burns/dries out your skin)

Exfoliate 2-3 times a week with a sugar scrub

Moisturize daily or anytime you get out of the shower

Apply SPF on any exposed sun (especially in the summer or when the UV index is high in your area)

I’m trying to decide between the Barbour Beaufort and the Bedale. Which would you recommend?

That depends. Both qualify as timeless English country styles and will serve you well for years to come. The differences are in the details.

Bedale: For the Equestrian

Bedale waxed jacket via barbour.com

The Bedale was designed in 1980 for equestrian uses, and therefore has details like snap studded gusseted side vents to accommodate a saddle. It also makes it more flexible at the hips, should that be your preference. The Bedale has woolen knitted inner storm cuffs designed to prevent rain from running down your arms as you hold the reins. They’re warmer but fit less well over other garments like a suit or the thick cuffs of a heavy sweater. Note that Barbour does sell Gilets that fit nicely under their slimmer fitting jackets that add warmth without bulk—I’ve been very happy with mine and it extends the wear time of my lighter jackets into the early winter months.

Beaufort: For the Game Hunter

Beaufort waxed jacket via barbour.com

The Beaufort, released in 1983, was intended for use in shooting. It has a rear nylon-lined game pocket called a poacher's pocket with zippered access on both sides. This can be used to store goods to keep them dry during extended walks in the rain. It also has some more material than the Bedale. It’s a little longer and has Velcro fastening nylon inner cuffs, designed to break away when lifting arms quickly to shoot. There are also some slight differences in the inner pockets that can be read below.

My Thoughts

As to my personal recommendation, I think it really comes down to what you’re using it for and which features you like. I would personally prefer the Bedale at the moment for its slightly shorter fit and flexible waist. I just like the shorter style for this type of jacket.

Though the corduroy collar is a timeless style with some functionality such as to keep rain away from the wearer, I actually like the Royston style over either jacket because of its Harrington style collar and streamlined fit (see the picture below for reference). Keep in mind that I live in a major city in the United States and will not be planning any long countryside treks through the muck, rain, and mud anytime soon. It’s a little lighter-weight, too, which fits my climate. I have several Barbour jackets but have yet to invest in one of their waxed jackets. If I do, it will simply be a light rain jacket for Spring or Fall. I wouldn’t plan to wear bulky sweaters or a suit underneath, and I prefer slimmer fits.

As a second alternative, I also recommend considering the longer Border jacket if you do plan to do significant layering—such as a thicker winter suit—or if you need additional protection from the elements, or are very tall.
