Benefits of a 360 Lace Wig Vs. a Lace Front Wig

As you look into wigs and finding the right one for you, you will quickly learn about different wig types. For example, you could pick between lace front or 360 lace wigs, which have their own benefits and drawbacks. Due to this, we will talk about the differences between these two wig types so that you can make an informed decision.

What Are They?

The names do a good job of summarizing the differences between the two. A front lace wig uses lace to cover the front of the wig while using a net for the back portion of it. This means that the rest of the wig remains stationary, allowing it to sit firmly on your head while giving you options to adjust the front of the wig.

As for 360 lace wigs, the lace covers all over your head, allowing you to make adjustments throughout it. The 360 lace wig still includes a net to help it stay on your head, but the lace goes over the top of it. In short, the differences between a 360 lace wig and a lace front wig is how much of the lace covers your head.

Pros and Cons

Front lace wigs require less maintenance since you only have to worry about the front portion when adjusting it. On top of this, you can rest assured that the rest of your hair will look good. On the other hand, you can’t adjust front lace wigs exactly how you want them and you can’t do certain hairstyles with them.

360 lace wigs give you more versatility when styling and adjusting them. This way, you can make adjustments all over the wig to get it exactly how you want. You can also try different styles with it. However, these wigs require more maintenance to make them look good. It also takes more prep time if you want to get it to look a certain way.

Choosing Between Them

This comes down to how much flexibility you want with your wigs. A front lace wig allows you to make changes in the front, but a 360 lace wig allows you to adjust it throughout. Due to this, if you want to keep your wig adjustments low maintenance and less time consuming, then a front lace wig would work.

In short, determine how much effort you want to put into your wigs. This will allow you to decide on the wig that works best for your situation. You may need to spend time researching these various wigs and picking one, but doing so allows you to find a suitable lace wig.

Conclusion

Both lace front and 360 lace wigs work well for those that want to wear wigs, but you should still know the differences between them. This way, you can easily make a decision and determine which wig will work for you. Feel free to look into your options and pick the wig of your dreams.

Introducing Marwood: Men's Accessories – French Style

This year is playing extra friendly to the theme of Lace, whether it be embodied in clothing, accessories and jewellery. One brand that is making its integral mark in the fashion market is brand Marwood.

Tha label is due to launch in preparation for A/W 2011. This is great timing, working perfectly in sync with the popular movement of lace through S/S 2011 – notably for women, but Marwood are creating a new balance.

As mentioned in my A/W Accessories article, craft-enthused accessories are a must for any fashion lover this year. Marwood expresses a similar hand-made facet in their design – showcasing a range of Ties and Bow Ties, created from fine fabrics, such as Woven Silk and English Spun Lace.

Marwood take immense pride in their craftsmanship, taking their inspiration from those who have showcased their techniques in the industry, both previously and current.

The French brand draw on traditional looks, and a rich and distinguished heritage. Appealing to a wide range of people – from those uber fashion-conscious vintage lovers, to more traditional followers of defined cut menswear suits and garments.

The range is simply exquisite, comprising of checks and lace. The bow ties are of particular beauty. Delicately handcrafted, they can be combined with both casual, vintage day wear, to a more refined look for the evening. Their unique look can even be something of a collectors item.

Intelligently created and rich in its flavour of style – Marwood is definitely a brand in 2011 to look out for!

Spring & Summer 2011 Part Two – Fashion Trends {Fashion}

Time to look at Trends. OK, this is a tricky one, as there are so many to choose from. I think a key trend this year will be Stripes, the bolder the better. I’ve personally been a massive fan of this trend. It goes with practically anything and has a friendly versatility to it. Dressed up or down, in Vintage, Urban and Street Wear. This year sees Stripes as the dominant trend setter, as it has always been popular. This year, (particularly blue and white) will play an integral part in the fashion scene. Jak and Jil have a great collection for stripe themed hats too – well worth taking a looking at.

Capri Pants – Yes, indeed a favourite of mine, I think these will be playing a dominant part of S/S 2011. Although we have all been a lover of skinny jeans, Capri Pants are a recognition of the trend, with that extra edge, especially in shiny, shimmering colours. The three-quarter length look will be particularly dominant this year. Balmain, again masters this look like no other.

Right, now for the season’s opposite – Flares and Bell Bottoms – Making wave with the 70’s look – yes, they are back! As mentioned, this year will spark off all things 70s and what obvious way to start your wardrobe collection, than to purchase a fashion classic. Together with wide leg trousers, this will be a dramatic comeback! Again, skinny jeans have been a intricate part of people’s clothing style, therefore, like all things in fashion, there is bound to be an ominous change. Derek Lam and Rocha are indeed the masters of this style!

Lace – Showcased in the specific tailoring of clothing as well as dresses and skirts. Lace is great. It’s chic, as well as girly and fun. Worn with practically anything – but be careful not to overdress it. Even lace in more radical colours are resolute to their simplicity, so it’s best not to try and overshadow a look this pure and feminine.

The return of the Jumpsuit – Though proving to be a fashion ‘must have’ last year, the jumpsuit has still been a ‘shall I? shall I not?’ trend. This year will see its casual to dressed up comeback – especially during the summer festival period. The basic designs and most versatile wearing, are by none other than sterling Stella McCartney – keeping the colours soft and simple – a definite for any lady’s wardrobe essentials.

The Jumpsuit will also be a fashion piece one can dazzle up and wear in the evenings too. Look out for Alber Elbaz’s designs for Lanvin. Beautiful, shoulder cut and sparkly. A refreshing alternative to any conventional evening attire.
