The beginning of autumn is the time of returning to school, to college, to work. Having been removed from relaxing holiday moments, we are slowly implementing ourselves into the atmosphere of work and studying. Shirts suit this climate perfectly and can be used to add a more formal impression to any style and at the same time allow you to maintain a little bit of leisure.

There are many shirts to choose from. More and less official. White, colourful, with patterns. Adjustable, longer, wider, with decorations…. New models appear in stores every season to keep up with current trends. When choosing a shirt (as well as other clothes), it is worth paying attention to its style, so it can be worn for a longer time.

To make it easier for you, I’m presenting 5 most interesting current trends, which will last more than one season.

CHECKERED – a trend that has been going on for many seasons. More precisely, since the 1960s, when it became the hallmark of the aristocratic England popularized by Burberry. Since then, the checkered pattern has been used in fashion in many different ways. Shirts with this pattern worn together with jeans evoke country style, while with leather trousers they take on a more rock oriented character.

SLEEVE – this trend is quite fresh. Embellished and imaginative sleeves have reigned in fashion for at least three seasons now. Sleeves come in many various forms. Puff sleeves, tied, with flounces, cut-outs, made from different fabrics combined. The skilfully selected form allows you to shape the figure appropriately. The puffs enlarge the shoulders and are perfect for pear-shaped ladies, while ties and decorations allow for diverting attention from broad top.

SHIRT DRESS – a very comfortable and universal proposition. It can be worn with trousers, leggings, tights and also solo. By emphasizing the waist with a belt, we get the wasp shape and adds to feminine quality. When worn undone, it will replace a light, longer sweater. In this variation, it’s also perfect for spring and summer. Every woman should have something like this in her wardrobe.

OPEN NECKLINE – a fairly fresh trend that looks very promising. It refers to a very popular trend prevailing during the spring/summer season called „cold shoulders”. The autumn version is slightly less uncovered, although it demonstrates female décolletage perfectly. Such a shirt will surely be eye-catching and will allow you to stand out. It’s recommended for ladies with an attractive décolletage.

EMBROIDERY – a trend referring to centuries-old folk craftsmanship. Embroidery appears in different places on clothes, drawing other people’s attention. When wearing such a shirt, it is worth remembering about it and directing this attention to the right spot. For women with larger busts, the best solution is to decorate cuffs or along the buttons. If you want to divert the attention from the bigger hips, focusing it on the shoulders should be enough.

Women around the world would like to have at least a little bit of her charisma. Wouldn’t you? I bet most of us would. If we only had some of her beauty, voice and happiness! Why? Beyonce is a strong woman.

Huge success, huge pressure, only good decisions, no scandals. She is beautiful, talented and focused. A few weeks ago Beyonce gave birth to twins. Today she’s a mother of three. Wow, and we still see her in red high-heels in „Crazy in love”!

Since she can be a role model – as a business woman, singer, designer and actress, perhaps her view on raising children and motherhood can also serve as inspiration for someone. This is a rhetorical question, because it certainly does! Well, after all she’s the Queen, and Blue Ivy, Rumi and Sir are proof that in this crazy world full of luxury, the family still comes first, and the woman, if she’s about to give in to anything, it’s an instinct to become a mom.

Motherhood is a challenge, especially for those women who don’t want to give up their previous lives and want to stay active, to develop and at the same time be the best mothers in the world. Bey says:

” Only for the reason that you became mother, doesn’t mean that you have to loose who you are”.

These words are extremely important nowadays, when women are looking for some balance between being a mom and a professional. „I have so much admiration for women who are mothers, who balance family and work. I see them and I have this word in my head – respect,” she said. „I also look to learn. I see these women and I think, 'Yes, it can be balanced, it can all work out’.” Of course, it can. Beyonce notices something else, too: „The old lessons of submissiveness and fragility made us victims. Women are so much more than that. You can be a businesswoman, a mother, an artist, and a feminist – whatever you want to be – and still be a sexual being. It’s not mutually exclusive.”

How many times in the last few weeks have you talked about a female body, the post-natal body – whether it’s not fat or similar to the shape of Ania Lewandowska? Have you asked why so many women don’t look exactly like before pregnancy and where this social pressure to be perfect comes from? „Now, after birth, I really understand the strength of my body. I feel that my body means something completely different.” Well yes, it’s easy for her to say. But on the other hand, every woman should write down this sentence and hang it on the fridge, in plain sight.

Written down? Hung? That’s great! The most important thing is that although we differ so much, we have one thing in common – our day is only 24 hours long. And it depends on us what thoughts and actions will fill that time. I wonder, what has Beyonce inspired you to do today?
