				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Being an outdoor woman doesn&#8217;t mean that you need to sacrifice fashion. There are a lot of great ways to still look sexy while you enjoy the wide open spaces. Here are five sure-fire ways to look good hiking.<span id="more-4203"></span></p>
<p><strong>1. Show off those legs<br />
</strong><br />
Hiking is a great opportunity to show off the legs that your athletic hobbies have given you. Women who are physically active often have beautiful legs, and baring them also allows you to get a nice, luxurious tan. If you&#8217;re trying to show off your legs you can either wear loose cotton shorts or even a skort. Skirts aren&#8217;t advised for obvious reasons, and jeans shorts are usually pretty uncomfortable to hike in. However, if the trail is particularly difficult and there&#8217;s a chance of slipping, some hip-hugging cargo pants may be needed to protect against falls.</p>
<p><strong>2. Wear a t-shirt with a comfortable but supportive bra<br />
</strong><br />
Women should never underestimate the beauty of their natural figure. By wearing a t-shirt that shows off their curves, women can look fantastic while also making sure that they&#8217;re comfortable by wearing a good bra. A t-shirt and shorts combo will make you look sporty while also showing off your natural looks, and a tank top can show off your arms. Even if you are wearing a backpack full of food, water, and <a href="http://www.bladeops.com/">Blade Ops</a> knives, it&#8217;s still possible to look sexy hiking up that mountain!</p>
<p><strong>3. Try some cute socks<br />
</strong><br />
In hot weather, low-profile socks are great to add length to your legs and give yourself a sleek and sexy appearance. But in cold weather, there&#8217;s an alternative. Many girls today are wearing thick, loose, shin-high socks that keep warmth in and look absolutely adorable. These socks can be used along with shorts to keep you warm even in cold weather.</p>
<p><strong>4. Invest in some attractive shoes<br />
</strong><br />
Just because shoes are made for hiking doesn&#8217;t mean they can&#8217;t be cute. There are a lot of cute hiking shoes for women today that also don&#8217;t cost all that much. Cute shoes that match your outfit will go a long way towards making you feel your best.</p>
<p><strong>5. Use a pullover to keep warm<br />
</strong><br />
If it&#8217;s the rainy season, or it seems a little wet, a pullover is a great way to keep the cold out without getting too bulky. Fitted pullovers still show off your figure while keeping you warm, and a fuzzy, furry hood often makes the outfit look even cuter.</p>
<p>Since hiking is an outdoors activity, it is important not to sacrifice your comfort or maneuverability for the sake of fashion, especially if the hike is particularly challenging. There are many ways to appear attractive while exploring nature, so some trade-offs may sometimes need to be made to look your best hiking.</p>

				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a title="Wonderful West Wittering - June 2011 - Mature Couple Candid by gareth1953, on Flickr" href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/gareth1953/5991470069/"><img src="http://farm7.staticflickr.com/6127/5991470069_5248000b76.jpg" alt="Wonderful West Wittering - June 2011 - Mature Couple Candid" width="237" height="154" /></a>You want to look your best when you head to the beach, but you don’t want to look like you spent hours getting ready. A great pair of surf shorts and a fabulous T-shirt will give you a pulled together look without making it seem as though you tried too hard. Here are three great printed T-shirt styles that will give you the look you desire for your day on the beach.<span id="more-3803"></span></p>
<p><strong>Vintage</strong></p>
<p>Vintage tees are all the rage right now. This type of T-shirt provides a comfortable style without making you look sloppy. Look for a T-shirt made of 100 percent cotton for a soft feel and great fit. Green, blue and other earth tones look great when coupled with a vintage tee. Look for a retro print as well. Nothing will throw off your look quicker than a vintage inspired tee with a brand, new shiny screen print. The perfect vintage tee will combine material and design seamlessly.</p>
<p><strong>Ringer</strong></p>
<p>Ringer tees are making a comeback. They look sporty and casual; perfect for the beach. A ringer tee, if you don’t know, is a T-shirt that has a body of one colour and neckline and sleeve edges of a different colour. Look for a T-shirt that has a body in one colour and “rings” in a shade of the body colour, for instance, a green body with a dark green neckline and sleeve edges. These colour choices lend a modern look to an old favourite.</p>
<p><strong>Organic</strong></p>
<p>An organic printed tee is made from 100 percent organic cotton, washed and printed with eco-friendly dyes, pre-shrunk and are certified sweatshop free. There’s no better choice if you’ve adopted a green lifestyle. And, really, what better shirt to wear to the beach than one made with natural resources? Most organic tees are made with ring-spun cotton, giving them the softest feel possible.</p>
<p><a title="Beach Wear by aturkus, on Flickr" href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/aturkus/124139589/"><img src="http://farm1.staticflickr.com/48/124139589_14f919a32d.jpg" alt="Beach Wear" width="250" height="166" /></a></p>
<p><strong>Long-Sleeve</strong></p>
<p>Most people don’t consider long-sleeve T-shirts for a day on the beach but consider this: if your skin is covered it can’t get burned! Long-sleeve tees are great for layering; if it’s too warm during the day, you’ll be able to wear it in the evening when the party starts to wind down.</p>
<p><strong>Printed Polo</strong></p>
<p>Printed polo shirts have become increasing stylish as rugby and soccer become more popular in the US. Printed polo shirts with number on the sleeve or back and team logos on the chest look stylish anywhere but particularly on the beach. A printed polo paired with a pair of plaid shorts looks especially fashionable. Choose a shirt that pulls one of the colours from your shorts and you’ll look coordinated and classy without looking over-dressed.</p>
<p><strong>Hooded Tee</strong></p>
<p>Hooded tees look great on girls and give you a way to cover your head without having to resort to a boyish baseball cap. Pick a hooded tee that is form fitting rather than loose so you don’t look sloppy. A great beach themed print will make your summer hoodie look fantastic with a pair of cute surf shorts and strappy sandals.</p>
<p>No matter which type of T-shirt you choose, be sure to look for one that sets you apart from the crowd. Look for a print that virtually screams your name! Printed tees are a great way to let the world know where you stand on issues, which team you follow or even which businesses you support. Have fun with it! Whether you stick with a beach theme or go your own way, T-shirts are a fabulous avenue for expression.</p>

				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Women have always been concerned about what’s in their <a href="http://women.style.ca/womens-apparel/" target="_self">clothes</a>.  However, in the quest for pure and organic clothing, we’ve accepted stiff and scratchy cottons, hemps, and linens.  Fortunately, manufacturers have finally started paying attention to women’s complaints about the feel of our <a href="http://women.style.ca/womens-apparel/" target="_self">clothes</a>.  New <a href="http://women.style.ca/womens-apparel/" target="_self">fabric </a>blends now offer the natural fibers women prefer and the comfortable textures we adore.<span id="more-1743"></span></p>
<p>One blend that offers exceptional comfort to women’s <a href="http://women.style.ca/womens-apparel/" target="_self">casual clothing </a>is a cotton and modal blend.  The general mix ranges from 20 % &#8211; 40 % modal with the remainder cotton.  Premium casual clothing blends use pima cotton or certified organic cotton in conjunction with the modal.  The net result is a fabric that is completely machine washable and much softer than traditional 100% <a href="http://women.style.ca/womens-apparel/" target="_self">cotton </a>products, which can be stiff and scratchy.</p>
<p>In the past, modal cotton blends like this were only present in specialty nightwear products.  You would see modal nightgowns or sleep shirts.  However, as these items flew off the shelves, designers made the connection and decided to transition the fabrics into mainstream <a href="http://women.style.ca/womens-apparel/" target="_self">casual clothing</a> products for everyday wear.</p>
<p>The modal cotton blend can now be found in t-shirts, polo shirts, casual tank tops, camisoles, casual summer skirts, dresses, and soft casual pants.  The <a href="http://women.style.ca/womens-apparel/" target="_self">fabric </a>continues to soften with continued wear and washing, making the clothing feel as comfortable as broken in pajamas within a few short weeks.  Contrasted with former favourites made from 100% cotton, the new blends offer additional comfort that gets them worn over and over again.</p>
<p>Thus, if you are looking for all natural clothing that offers organic fibers and true comfort, the new<a href="http://women.style.ca/womens-apparel/" target="_self"> fabric blends</a> should be your first choice.  Reading the tags on casual clothing items will help you find the softest and most comfortable new clothes for summer.</p>
