Styles & Shapes

Most recently the newest line of handbags and wallets with the fleur de lis emblem on them range from hobo style handbags to elegant bucket style bags perfect for the office or an evening out. The other noteable thing is that a lot of the new styles are not only stylish and trendy, but they are functional as well.

Even though most fleur de lis purses and wallets that you will find are leather like, the quality is amazing. With attention given to every detail these bags are meant to last. Many of them offer studded bottoms which increases durability and stability for a handbag. A definite note worth mentioning is also in the stitching of the bags. Double-stitched seems and pockets are important factors when creating a hand bag.

These factors help the bag keep it's shape and allow for long term where and tear. This same fact is true of the wallets that bear the historical emblem. Zippers, compartments, and pockets, on both handbags and wallets are important areas to concentrate on when searching for quality and these styles seem to have just that.

Functionality

A great handbag is measured by comfort and ease of use. Very rarely is it easy to use a bag that is akward to carry or has no place to store or secure things inside of it. The fleur de lis purses offer several inside pockets for easy storage of must-have items such as cell phones, etc. The same holds true for the wallets because they offer several compartments for cash, credit cards, and change.

Even though most women buy a purse or wallet based on it's looks, it is nice to know that a fashion trendy bag or wallet can be practical as well.

While fashion purses and wallets have a wide range of prices, most fleur de lis purses and wallets can be found for under $50.00. This makes shopping for these handbags even better because of their affordable prices. Most shoppers have purchased more than one bag or wallet, allowing them to extend their collection.

Since most collections offer the matching wallet and purse, this also makes for a great gift for a special women in your life, without breaking your budget.

We all know that the Fleur de Lis is HOT right now. If you turn on the television, open a magazine, or light up your lap top, you are likely to see your favorite music, movie or television star wearing the emblem on necklaces, earrings, bracelets, belts and clothing. Do you have your mind set on being the Fleur de Lis clothing fashion trend setter this season? Think color, fit, placement, and style.

Color

The one Fleur de Lis clothing item that seems most popular with celebs and will never go out of style is the basic black (or white) t-shirt. Whether you choose long sleeves, short sleeves or a tank, a Fleur de Lis tee will always be chic.

If you want to modernize your t-shirt look, nothing says Spring/Summer 2008 fashion more than COLOR, COLOR, COLOR! Spice up your Fleur de Lis tee with bright yellows, oranges, reds and greens. Whether you choose to put the emblem on a colorful tee or rock up your basic black or white with a neon Fleur de Lis, you will look hot this season.

Fit

Following the Fleur de Lis clothing trend is more than wearing the insignia on your tee. Your actual t-shirt also needs to have the right fit. Baggy shirts are out. Pick t-shirt styles that hang close to the body. (Think the look of t-shirts from the 70's.) Feel uncomfortable when wearing a clingy t-shirt? Layer a jean jacket or an unbuttoned shirt over your tee.

Placement

Although most designers place the symbol on the front center of the t-shirt, it is possible to find a Fleur de Lis on other parts of the garment. Why not use this option to your advantage? Look for shirts with the symbol on the top left or right, back, or even across your belly or backside. Select shirts that place the emblem in areas that you want to accentuate. This way you are following the trend while showing some originality.

A Fleur de Lis belt is also another great method to accentuate your best features while looking in vogue. Cinch the waist of your favorite tailored safari style top with a thick black or brown Fleur de Lis belt. Are you feeling like wallpaper in your new floral top? A silver or gold toned Fleur de Lis belt is exactly what you need. Hanging a chain belt loosely over your hips will not only break up an overwhelming print, but add a sense of sophistication to your outfit.

Style

Did you know that there is more than one Fleur de Lis style? Why not update your Fleur de Lis clothing collection with a new emblem? Modern, southwestern, circular, and Celtic are just a few of the endless number of styles available. You can even find a three Fleur de Lis motif made in the tradition of the three diamond pendant. Multiple Fleur de Lis styles allow you to express your creativity while participating in the hottest fashion trend ever.

If you shop with color, fit, placement and style in mind, you will quickly become the Fleur de Lis clothing trend setter of your town!
