Equipment Clothing - The Perfect Blouse

Need the perfect blouse? The one’s where in you will look effortlessly chic and elegant but still comfortable? Well look no further because today I’m recommending you one of my favorite women’s brand – Equipment Clothing Line. Equipment is a line that has recently been revived to its status back when the line was introduced in 1975. These blouses are a must-have item for your wardrobe and had been known for its timeless men’s shirts turn into women’s shirt without losing its elegance.

In 1975 Equipment manages to take the fashion world by storm and in those times, everybody owns Equipment clothing. After 20years of success, its owner decided to close it and call it a day. After years of being gone, it has recently been revived. And today, a year after it’s comeback, it looks like history is repeating itself. Equipment clothing is taking the fashion world by storm again. Khloe Kardashia, Miranda Kerr and Kate Bosworth currently was seen sporting Equipment clothes. Other stars that had seen rocking Equipment shirts and blouses (not only once) are Kim Kardashian, Hayllie Duff, Sofia Vergara, Fergie, Eva Longoria, Kate Bosworth, Miranda Kerr and Rachel Bilson (which she wears on one of the episodes of Gossip girls).

I had been part of the craze too and had bought several Equipment clothing now (and is planning to buy more). Here are my Top 4 favorite Equipment shirts at the moment and why I love them:

1. Equipment Signature leopard-jacquard silk shirt - A style-set favorite for blouses, Equipment updates its ladylike blush silk 'Signature' style with leopard jacquard for the most polished way to wear animal print. Keep the look classic by tucking it into crisp white skinny pants and carrying a neutral clutch.

2. Equipment Collarless Signature Blouse - Fashionistas in the know turn to Equipment for classic shirts with a fresh twist, and this striped washed-silk 'Vintage' version delivers the label's signature style. We love the bright tropical-green and navy hues that are right on trend for the season - finish yours with tailored shorts and block-heel sandals for a chic work-to-weekend look.

3. Equipment Brett fruit-print washed-silk shirt - Dotted with ripe cherries and juicy strawberries, Equipment's washed-silk shirt is a mouthwatering summer style. Team this playful piece with a bright skirt and heels for a quirky-chic daytime look.

4. Equipment Signature Python Print Blouse - Equipment's perfect-fit shirts are mandatory investments for every city girl, so choose this python-print silk-chiffon version to meet your wardrobe requirements for timeless appeal and on-trend cool. Tuck this exotic style into leather shorts for a polished downtown look.

Equipment Clothing Is My New Favorite

A crisp clean blouse is a wardrobe essential. This is my favorite clothing item and I’m sure many fashionistas agree with me. That is why I’m so glad when Equipment clothing line announced that they will comeback last 2011. This 2012, Equipment is my new favorite.

Equipment clothing started way back in 1970’s. Christian Restoin first introduced the classic two pocket silk shirt French label and was instantly a hit. From then the label has evolved into a cult classic and I believe every woman needs to have at least one of these beautiful shirts in their wardrobe. But after 20 years of success, Restoin decided to closed the line and take a rest. Luckily, French Vogue editor Carine Roitfeld – wife of Restoin and Serge Azria – owner of Joie and Current Elliot decided to relaunched this iconic shirt company Equipment just in time for the blouse craze currently in fashion. The shirts are made of washed silk with front flap patch pockets, a collar, long sleeves, buttons through front, button-fastening cuffs, pleat at back and have a curved hem.

The new Equipment blouses they have in Equipment clothing comes in amazing colors, are super stylish and can be incorporated into your wardrobe from season to season. The Equipment Signature Sleeveless Blouse is the perfect easy, breezy blouse for summer. This blouse comes in so many bright, vibrant colors you can pretty much wear it anywhere. Now that July is almost over it's also time to equip your wardrobe for Fall. The Equipment Signature Blouse is such a great piece to own because it can be worn a million different ways. The Equipment Signature Blouse can be worn with: a high waisted skirt, shorts, skinny jeans, leggings, tucked into your favorite jeans, etc. etc. You can even add a little extra flair to your blouse selection with the Equipment Daddy Chiffon Blouse or the Equipment Brett Colorblock Shirt.

There's nothing chicer — and more nonchalant — than throwing on a loose-fitting shirt over a pair of skinny jeans or denim cutoffs. Fabulous right? It's a refreshing change from all the skin-tight tanks that get heavy rotation in the summertime. Equipment gives menswear shirts a French-cum-California spin. Some of my favorite is the The Equipment Tomcat Print Chiffon Blouse ($208) is bound to offer a wild night, while the Equipment Silk Satin Olive Shirt ($198) is a sleek nod to Fall's green trend. But my favorite is the Equipment Brett striped washed-silk shirt ($208) No winning wardrobe is complete without an Equipment washed-silk shirt, and we love this punchy striped take on the signature 'Brett' style. Go for a more-is-more aesthetic with color-pop jeans - pink will make a particularly hip partner to this cranberry and off-white piece - or wear it to punctuate a black pant suit at work.

Equipment clothing offers the most comfortable, soft, and fashionable blouses & best of all they are available in tons of colors, fabrics, prints AND sleeve lengths! These blouses can be worn with a variety of skirts, pants, shorts, and denim for either a dressy or casual look. Get yourself equipped now!

The Equipment Clothing Craze

If we had lived in the 1970’s era, you wouldn’t know anyone, celebrity or now, who didn’t own an Equipment shirt. And today, after saying goodbye to the fashion industry, Equipment clothing had made a comeback! The blouse is set to be a style staple for spring 2011 and US women’s. Shirts specialist said that Equipment clothing is tipped to be the choice brand. One fashion specialist even say “The brand has become a key name to know and the minimal design is becoming an iconic shape for the season The success of the blouse/shirt hybrid has come at a time when separates have never been more popular.”

Cult 1970s label Equipment has been pushed back into the limelight by its owners just in time for this resurgence. It was founded in 1976 by Christian Restoin, partner of French Vogue editor Carine Rotfeld, and Serge Azria, chief executive of contemporary womenswear brand Joie and premium denim label Current/Elliott. Equipment’s UK distribution is being handled by premium agency M&L Harris and the label has a stock service so orders can be placed for as long as the stock lasts.

The blouse is back on the buying agenda as part of a spring 2011 season driven heavily by separates, and the recently relaunched premium women’s shirt label Equipment is perfectly placed to reap the rewards. A Flurry of chic and effortless blouses glided down the catwalks in Milan and Paris in September. German minimalist house Jil Sander used the button-up blouse to inject colour on the catwalk in Milan, while in Paris, Dries Van Noten teamed loose-fit blouses with palazzo pants and Stella McCartney matched th blouse with tailored jackets.

Equipment blouses aren’t cheap though. With an RRP of about $200 and a wholesale price range of $76 for a Signature shirt to about $100 for a python-print shirt, they are investment pieces. And if you are like me, just another fashionista who wants to be as stylish as the stars and model, then Equipment is the brand for you. Many stars had been rocking the Equipment brand today and it will be quite an investment if we buy Equipment clothing to make as feel like a star. It’s the signature washed, silk finish and elegant cut that has led ahead-of-the-curve buyers to snap up the brand.

So welcome back Equipment clothing! We are all excited to what you can offer the fashion world this time around!

Fashion Addicition – Equipment Clothing

I’m currently addicted to Equipment shirts nowadays! It’s so chic and glamorous yet really comfortable. To all of you who doesn’t own Equipment clothing yet, I strongly recommend that you get one as soon as possible. Equipment clothing, characterized by its refined tailoring and timeless allure had been capturing the taste of fashionistas all over the world.

Equipment clothing started way back in the 1970’s. The menswear inspired women’s shirts (without losing its glam) became a worldwide success quickly and had been around for 20years. Everybody, celebrity or not owns an Equipment shirt in those years. Seriously, I can say that I have a lot of friends and all of us have a bunch of Equipment shirts on our wardrobe. But the owner of the clothing line decided to quit after a successful run. Luckily, today Serge Azria, the owner of the successful fashion lines JOIE and Current/Elliot re-launched Equipment clothing.

In the short time since the brand’s relaunch, Equipment has gained a prominent presence in some of the Most prestigious retail locations around the world. With distribution throughout North America, Europe, Russia, Australia, New Zealand, and the Middle East. The brand has, once again, torged itself as a stronghold In fashion world. Whether merchandised with premium denim or sitting alongside couture, Equipment’s versatility and strength is ever-present.

Here are my Top 3 favorite Equipment shirts as of the moment:

1. Equipment Printed silk-chiffon shirt - Splashed with lemons, limes and bold red roses, Equipment's printed silk-chiffon shirt is a zesty take on this season's motif mania. The fluid style will make a hip addition to your day-to-night wardrobe - team it with lemon hued jeans for a fresh spring look and black accents for that finishing touch.

2. Equipment Sleeveless Signature - Equipment's signature sleeveless washed-silk shirt gets a bold new-season makeover in a bright papaya hue. Wear this vibrant style with pastel jeans for the freshest color combination.

3. Equipment Signature Blouses in Lemon - Equipment's sophisticated washed-silk shirts have become modern wardrobe must-haves, and we love this lemon crepe de chine style for the chicest way to wear bright color. Contrast the zingy hue with white shorts and tan accents for a standout summer look.

As you can see, to maintain the quality and simplicity of the brand, Equipment clothing had chose to specialize in shirts and nothing but shirts - letting the product speak for itself rather than laboring under delusions of grandeur. I am now ready to collect as many Equipment shirts as I can, starting today!

Equipment Clothing – Bring Me Back To The 70’s!

If I have a time machine, I would definitely want to go back to the 70’s. The 70’s era is where my favorite comic book “Archie” had started, my favorite TV show “Bewitched” had aired and more importantly, fashion in the 70’s era is crazy and amazing at the same time! With sophisticated yet comfortable blouses, flappers and tunics, you can see that the 70’s era brought a lot in the fashion table. The styles never die. It is making a comeback every now and then, especially this 2011!

Back in 1975, women’s fashion was on a roll, driven by a flourishing yet cautious ready-to-wear industry. Smocks, blouses and tunics were all the rage, these and many more had been the flurry of silhouettes that Christian Restoin would set out to revolutionize.

Having a distinct taste level and discerning eye for style and drawing an inspiration from American fils of the 50s, from stars such as Katherine Hepburn and Lauren Bacall (Who became one of his clients), Restoin introduce men’s shirts turn into women’s shirt with the launch of his brand Equipment - transforming a men’s classic into an item of women’s clothing with glam appeal. Straightforward yet innovative, it didn’t take too long before Equipment clothing had been a recognized name amongst the fashion elite. And the rest is history.

After enjoying twenty years of the brands success, Restoin moved on and closed the brand. Some says he just got tired and just want to have a peaceful family life, some says he is wishing to pursue another phase in his career while other says that he give up to give way for his wife’s career which is the editor in chief of Vogue magazine today. Whatever the reason is, one thing is for sure, people want more.

Luckily for us fashionistas, we had been blessed by another fashion mogul - Serge Azria. Azria a visionary and well known name in the fashion industry, who also owns the successful and very lovable fashion lines JOIE and Current/Elliot re-launched Equipment clothing brand in 2010 as CEO and Creative Director. The new collection recalls the classic, minimalistic undertones of the Equipment brand. Fusing unparalleled French sophistication with an air of effortlessly chic. Laid-back, California style. Timeless and innovative, the Collection features modern. Androgynous silhouettes, discreet sexiness. Luxe fabrics, unexpected details And feminine riffs on men’s shirting. The range of prints, fabrics and silhouettes negotiate the many facets
Of the Equipment woman: she is strong chic, elegant, adventurous, sexy and is above all, classic.

And ever since the brand was re launch, it has gained its steady followers again (including me). Indeed Equipment clothing will remain for many years again. I encourage all the ladies out there to shop for Equipment clothing today and experience 70’s fashion at its best with a touch of modern times. Let’s hear it for another 20years and let’s start shopping for new Equipment shirts!

Equipment Clothing Blazers

Gone are the days when blazers are used only by men. Women now take advantage of this look which makes them sexy and stylish at the same time. The blazer is so amazingly versatile that it can be worn on both casual and formal occasions.

Equipment clothing has both fantastic blouses and amazing blazers to match. Back in the old days, at the height of boyfriend shirts becoming popular to the fashion elite, Equipment clothing didn’t limit their fashion apparel there. They also released boyfriend blazers, which were an instant hit, perhaps more than their boyfriend jeans or shirts because of the blazer’s inherent versatility, style, and comfort.

The boyfriend blazer was considered as one of the spring / summer hottest trends of 2010. Since then, it has become an essential piece in a woman’s wardrobe. And because the blazer is easy to wear and to match with other clothing pieces, it offers a stylish look that’s classy, and most importantly, it can be worn at any occasion.

• Choosing Your Style

Blazers come in a variety of styles: They have different cuts, colors, and prints. If you decide to go out and shop for one, make sure it fits you nicely—don’t get one that’s too large. Likewise, don’t buy one that’s too tight, because it defeats the purpose of a boyfriend blazer, and people might think you’re wearing a dwarf blazer, which makes you feel and look uncomfortable.

In choosing a color, black is the most common and it is also considered as the best color to go for. However, don’t be afraid to try other colors and be creative with mixing and matching with your other pieces. Make sure to get a blazer that flatters your figure.

• How to Wear a Blazer

There are two simple rules to follow in wearing a blazer right. First, go for a slightly oversized fit, but not too much so it won’t look boxy. Get one that’s a size bigger so the shoulders are no more than an inch and a half away. The second rule has something to do with voguish detail like rolling up the sleeves, which is an essential element to its chic style. Exposing the wrists gives women a feminine impression that’s why rolling up the sleeves is one detail that they shouldn’t ignore. Try wearing blazers that has trendy prints, a crumpled look, or maybe blazers with solid colors.

Choosing the Boyfriend Blazer
Blazers also come in different styles, cut, color, and patterns. Before purchasing one, make sure that it fits you well even if it fits loosely, but don’t buy it too large as well.

How to Wear the Blazer
There are two basic rules of wearing the boyfriend blazer that women should know. Make the blazer oversized but don’t exaggerate it too much and you may end up looking boxy. Go for a blazer one size bigger so that the shoulders come no more than an inch and a half away. The second rule would have to do with chic details like rolling up the sleeves. This is an essential element of this style. Exposing the wrists of women gives the feminine impression that’s why rolling it up is a detail any women shouldn’t miss. Try blazers with prints, crumpled look, or blazes without prints but has a solid color.

Match Your Boyfriend Blazer with these:
• Jeans that are distressed with acid wash styles in a skinny fit. Boyfriend jeans too can work, but only if paired with shoes having high heels.
• Trendy leggings and knit sweaters also look great, try on a tunic dress under the blazer for hip look.
• For a part outfit, try on a mini-dress underneath your boyfriend blazer.
• Tops like a basic tee or a frilly top also work well with boyfriend blazers.
• Denim shorts or smart shorts give off a fresh look. Slacks too can work, if the slacks turn out to be too masculine for your taste then try softening the look with jewelry. Semi formal dress or blouse should also do the trick.

• Accessorizing should be done with extensive jewelries to make your look feminine. Such accessories can be chain bracelets, over-sized rings, long pearls, beaded or pendant necklaces or scarves.
