It's somewhat surprising that even in 2018, men still dominate top positions of most major brands in the fashion industry.  At Front Door Fashion, a company owned and founded by women, we always enjoy introducing fabulous new brands to our customers, but it's especially exciting when we discover brands that are owned by women and led by women!  Today, we wanted to share a little bit about the beginning of our own company and introduce you to two Dallas apparel companies founded and owned by women who are manufacturing beautiful product in the United States.

Even the cutest swimsuits deserve an equally cute cover-up! Whether on vacation or by a pool, cover-ups are a summer wardrobe essential.  Keep it minimal in your suitcase this summer, and save yourself the chore of shlepping an overweight bag, by letting your beach cover-ups do double duty.  Imagine them for more than just the sand. And, we promise, this post isn't about how to use your scarf as a sarong (even though that's an option!). Here are 3 Front Door Fashion Stylist-approved ways to take your cover-ups from the street to the beach.

With Earth Day and sustainability on our minds, Citizens of Humanity is the perfect brand to highlight for this month's brand spotlight. COH has gone to great lengths to use the most ecologically sustainable technology and practices. It is one of the few denim companies that owns all of their production vertically. This helps not only control the quality of denim but also their sustainability. While it's almost un-American to not to own a pair of denim, most denim is not made in America because it can be produced at a lower cost outside the United States. While many other lower-priced denim companies are moving their production overseas, COH has always remained dedicated to full production in Los Angeles. Citizens produces their sustainable denim by hand which contributes to their loyal following.

It's wedding season and you know what that means! Your cousin, long-time friend, and coworker all have weddings with different dress codes!

We've compiled a list of ways to dress for the various weddings you may be invited to attend this Spring.

The average American owns seven pairs of denim. And if you are a fashion lover you’re bound to be above that average! Question: is the denim that you own right for you and your body shape? Due to denim dominating much of the retail industry and the plethora of choices it can be overwhelming to select just the right style and fit for your body. While the traditional fit rules can easily pigeonhole you to a single denim style, we believe at Front Door Fashion that you should consider breaking away from tradition and embrace your shape and sense of personal style! To simplify your life we're offering fresh suggestions for figure-flattering denim in this spring's trends. Five body shapes below are illustrated by five celebrities: the ruler (Gwyneth Paltrow), the pear (Beyoncé), the apple (Drew Barrymore), the hourglass (Blake Lively), and the inverted triangle (Charlize Theron). Take these tips as guidelines. And don’t forget to have a little fun when working with your personal stylist, to select your denim updates for spring!

There are myths that say you have to be a certain size or shape to wear white denim or that it should be worn only before Labor Day, but that's absolutely not true! White denim should be the workhorse of your spring and summer wardrobe. (And it's worth mentioning here that we believe in it as a year-round staple since the winter-white denim look is great in colder months.)  While it can be daunting and intimidating, choosing the right pair for your shape and the occasion is the secret to mastering this fashion staple. We've provided three examples to help you style the right pair for different occasions.

Spring is here, and it's the same old story: you have a closet full of clothes but nothing to wear. Spring cleaning is calling your name and will pester you until that dress you "just might wear one day" has been donated. It's time for a proper closet cleanse! How do you tackle such an overwhelming task? Per usual, Front Door Fashion style experts are here to help. A closet cleanse, while tedious, is a necessary chore for peace of mind and essential for building a wardrobe you'll actually wear. Like the great Marie Kondo says, "The space in which we live should be for the person we are becoming now, not for the person we were in the past." We believe the same is true for your clothes. With these three steps and a little help from your FDF Stylist, you'll be well on your way to a closet that works for you.

With the New Year finally settling in, work routines are back in full swing. It's easy to stick with the familiar when it comes to work attire, but our Front Door Fashion stylists are all about taking you to the next level. This means dressing for the job you want, not the one you have. This concept can be especially tricky to navigate in 2018 with a predominant individuality-embracing culture. We can all relate to the frustration of the phrase "work appropriate." The key is finding clothes that feel good, flatter, and fit into your office culture. Master your go-to look for the office, and step it up when asking for a promotion.  Jennifer Baumgartner, PsyD, author of You Are What You Wear says, "If you want a promotion, dress as if you already have it. What would a person with one wear?"  Dress for success with a selection of outfits handpicked by your stylist, and you'll be sitting pretty in the corner office in no time!

With each new year comes hopes for the future and resolutions to make the dream a reality. Most resolutions focus on prosperity, health, and happiness, but at Front Door Fashion we think your personal style and the image you project as a result deserve equal billing. Each week through the month of  January we will be posting a New Year New You fashion resolution to help you up your style game in 2018. Addressing current trends is a must for anyone who wants to look modern and fresh...and who doesn't? Repeat after me: "In 2018, fashion trends will not intimidate me." We believe that the best way to approach trends is by remembering one word: wearability. That avant-garde piece from the runway is WAY too much for the office, but when viewed as an inspiration it can guide your own personal 9 to 5 style in the new year! We've gathered several looks below that nod to the trends and can take your wardrobe from drab to fab in 2018.
