    Q:  I'm getting a pretty big bankroll for Christmas this year, and I'd like to spend almost all of it on clothes.  I have a few questions -- should I buy all clothes for the winter? Or mix it up for Spring coming next year? What are some of your favorite things that are currently out? When building a new wardrobe, what are your "must haves" that you need to get before anything else. Also a list of your favorite stores would be great too. And maybe show me some of YOUR recent purchases.  I love clothes and am a big fan of name designer brands.  Read more >

    Need help defining your look this season?  Omiru is here to help with the return of one of our most popular fashion features: the foundation wardrobe.  This season, we're adding a little twist.  Instead of outlining your wardrobe basics (e.g. classic white button down, dark jeans, pencil skirt, etc), we're structuring our Winter 2009 wardrobe as a kind of expansion pack, if you will, of pieces you want to add to those foundations.  Put another way, our Winter 2009 wardrobe shows you what you need to update your existing wardrobe to stay on point this season.    Read more >

    Harem Pants (aka MC Hammer Pants) may have been the poster child for bad 1980s fashion, but they've been an unexpected comeback trend this season.  These voluminous, low slung trousers may not be traditionally flattering (in fact, they're more anti-fashion than fashion), but they're attracting both ridicule and admiration this time around.  What's the secret to wearing harem pants?  Complement these voluminous, structured pants with a loose, drapey top and cinch the volume at the waist.   Read more >

    No, this isn't a case of seasonal dyslexia--you really can wear shorts for Fall.  The key is to pair your shorts with fall staples, such as sweaters, leggings, and boots.  (No shorts with sandals for Fall, unless you live in a tropical climate.)  With the appropriate layers, your summer shorts can fit comfortably right into the fall season.  Here's how to wear your summer shorts this Fall:  Read more >

    What makes Mad Men's Don Draper always look so sharp?  The key to Draper's style is a well cut suit (then again, his dashing good looks don't hurt either).  But while we can't all look like Draper, you can dress like him.  Brooks Brothers and Mad Men costume designer Janie Bryant collaborated on a limited edition suit that sold out in a snap, but you can just look for the following details when you're shopping for (or custom tailoring) your next suit:  Read more >

    Biker jackets evoke imagery of black leather, hard edges, and sharp studs. But you don't have to go over the edge to look sharp in a biker jacket. The keys to wearing a biker jacket elegantly are twofold: (1) pick the right jacket (sleek, minimal), and (2) dress up the rest of the look with sophisticated pieces with chic details. Here's how to wear a biker jacket elegantly: 1. Start with a simple, sophisticated base: grey cords (or grey jeans) and a tie-neck knit top. We love the mix of muted colors between these two pieces.  Read more >
