We asked: Are Wrap Dresses In or Out?
You said:
They’re In! A full 82% are enamored of the wrap dress. Only 4% consider them Out, and a small minority (14%) believe they’re on the way out.
Omiru’s take:
We heart Wrap Dresses too. And in this season of the dress, we can’t think of any style that feels more classic…and fresh, all at the same time. The beauty of the Wrap Dress is its versatility–it can glide from day to evening if you swap out your day accessories for ones with more shine.
Next Question: We’ve been seeing structured suits, vests, and other masculine items parading around as womenswear for a number of months. But what do you think? Tell us, is Menswear as Womenswear In, or is it Out? Cast your vote on the sidebar!

Think back to the early 90’s: upon hearing the word "plaid," one would envision Nirvana’s frontman Kurt Cobain rocking out on his guitar, clad in his wrinkled plaid flannel button-down shirt. Flashback to now - plaid has undergone a major transformation and screams ruggedly elegant. Choose from one of our plaid picks, and you’ll be right on trend for fall. Nappy hair and tractor not required.

Working out is hard to do, but buying a gym bag shouldn’t have to be. In the past, exercise fiends would go to the gym for one reason: to exercise. Oh, how times have changed. Now, sporty girls who hit the gym not only want to maintain their fit figures, but they also want to show off their goods. Make your entrance with an oh-so-adorable gym bag–we’ve found one for every type of work-out girl.

We asked: Are Short Shorts In or Out?
You said: As the end of summer comes closer, short shorts will see their welcome fade away. Almost half (45%) think they’re already Out, and another 21% believe they’re On the Way Out. Only 34% consider Short Shorts to be In.
Omiru’s take: Short shorts saw their revival in Jessica Simpson’s The Dukes of Hazzard; they weren’t meant to last. Enjoy them while the weather is still steamy, but opt for something with a bit more coverage come fall. In short, catch them while you can!
