White jeans are everywhere these days: magazines, store windows, tampon commercials (I don’t care how maxi that maxi tampon is, I do not believe you will have my back – or my underwear in this case – in white pants!) And they’re cute. They are a great way to lighten up denim for the summer and look so great with so many things.

I’m especially a big fan of white pants with bright tops, printed tops and denim/chambray tops. I don’t care how much the Gap or famous stylists try to tell me that denim on denim (or a chambray shirt with  jeans) is back in style, I will NOT be rocking a Canadian tuxedo of any kind any time soon. [Note: CollegeCandy loves Canada. Please don't hate us.] But pair a cute denim button down or jacket with white jeans and you’ve got yourself a hot little number. Holleration!

Here are three examples of crisp white denim for summer. And with Memorial Day/Summer BBQs/excessive day drinking around the corner, you can start rocking these ASAP. As in now. As in get yourself a pair and rock them. Read More »

The ’90s have made a comeback. No, MC Hammer won’t be kicking off an international tour any time soon (too bad, though, ‘cuz that guy’s 2 legit 2 quit), but chambray is sweeping the globe.

Chambray – a less structured version of denim – is lightweight, often light colored, and totally ’90s.  Though it is more popular for the spring (which is coming…in 5 weeks), it can easily be worked into that winter wardrobe.  And this season, it’s everywhere, in every form and at every price point.

Just be careful what you pair this stuff with; chambray-on-denim is just as difficult to pull off as its ugly sibling, denim-on-denim. You don’t want to channel Britney and Justin circa 2001. But, if done right, it can set yourself apart from the crowd (and maybe even get you stalked by a CC writer).

Ready for some chambray? Here are a few of my faves: Read More »

So. Tempted. To. Give. Wedgie.

By now, we’re all familiar with the fashion atrocities committed by the male population.  No, sweaty dude, that mesh tank top does not look good on you.  Or anyone, really.  But women are not free from errors – actually, considering our traditional involvement with fashion, we make rather more mistakes.

In fact, that is the entire reason I read People magazine – the photo spreads that come out after major awards shows are priceless.  I mean, these celebrities have stylists!  How can these awful things happen??

Luckily, when I make a fashion faux pas, it usually goes undocumented.  However, it doesn’t always go unnoticed (thank goodness for my friends…the ones who truly care about me will tell me if I’m looking like a blind hooker as I’m walking out the door).  In the spirit of keeping our fellow ladies informed and aware (or end the unprovoked assault on our eyes as we walk down the street), we’ve made a list of the top five fashion faux pas’.

If you or any of your friends have done/are doing any of these…just stop.  Seek help.
