 How Luxury Fashion and Lifestyle Brands Can Leverage Technology in 2021

 

 

Luxury has Become a Necessity

The past year has felt nothing short of a fever dream. Unfortunately, it is a reality that we all have to learn to not only exist with, but thrive in. Obvious health concerns aside, one of the major impacts of a world riddled with a pandemic has been that over the fashion industry. Consumers’ demands and expectations have changed drastically and business strategy must adapt and evolve accordingly if brands want to remain up to speed in a competitive environment.

 

Surprisingly, when it comes to the world of fashion and lifestyle, people have become more inclined to indulge in what can only be described as luxury fashion. Considering how easy it is to gain access to these luxurious lifestyle brands and companies in current times, it makes sense that people are turning to online means to acquire such apparel and accessories.

 

The Shift Towards a Virtual Paradigm

There has always been a degree of cultural resistance when it comes to the acceptance of digital solutions for routine problems. But with time, modern society has learned that the technological revolution is designed to make our lives more convenient. The acceptance of digital change is reflected in the sheer popularity of online shopping, especially in a time when traveling and real life browsing has been so largely limited.

 

Throughout this year, we have seen more and more people as well as businesses open up to the idea of embracing a virtual paradigm. While it may be the only way to continue doing business right now, it is by no means a trend that will fizzle and die out once we return to the norm. In fact, this will most likely become the norm in 2021 and beyond. The potential of virtual reality and associated technology in business, the fashion industry in particular, is limitless, and it is about time that brands start to capitalize on it.

Creating Personalized Experiences Through Artificial Intelligence

It wasn’t all that long ago when artificial intelligence (AI) was deemed to be a mere buzzword. Now, however, it is one of the most critical technological tools that you can use to enhance customer experience with your brand. AI enables you to personalize your service based on the individual expectations of your clients and appeal to their tastes to encourage them to make the purchase.

 

This is especially important for luxury brands like Louis Vuitton, Sergio Rossi, or their retailers like Larizia.com. These businesses have to strive to strike that human connection that gives the customer the impression of exclusivity. This can be done through interactions with chatbots employing machine learning, giving them access to exclusive content and notifications, and inviting them to virtual live fashion walks and shows, as has been the norm over the past year.

A Targeted Approach is an Effective One

Another benefit of using artificial intelligence and analytical tools to analyze your page visitors and existing clientele is that it enables you to launch a targeted campaign in the future. Understanding the interests and history of your consumer base will allow you to create content that appeals to their tastes. This also paves the way into more personal fashion accessories, such as smart devices and wearables that monitor your heart rate, keep track of your calories, and even recommend you music based on your mood.

 

A Digital Dressing Room

Being able to try on an item of clothing or accessory and visualize how it would look on your person is an important part of the shopping experience. People are particularly hesitant of purchasing items that they have not physically seen or tested on themselves from luxury brands since they tend to lean towards the expensive side. With in-person shopping having become a luxury in and of itself this year, people are opting for safer alternatives like online shopping. That is where augmented reality comes in.

 

Using virtually rendered settings and graphics, brands can have customers use their smartphones and applications to visualize a given luxury apparel item or accessory on their body. For example, they could point their smartphone camera to their feet to see how a certain pair of shoes would look on their feet. Nike has already put something of this sort into application, allowing customers to use their phone camera to accurately gauge their shoe size by capturing their feet. The convenience of being able to try out a fashion accessory at home before making the purchase removes a lot of hang ups that people have regarding online shopping.

How To Incorporate Menstrual Comfort Into Your Every Day Fashion

 

Menstrual experiences, from period cycles to product preference, can be quite different for each woman. However, there are underlying commonalities that come with menstruation inconvenience, costs, period tracking, and menstrual cramps. 

In other parts of the globe, accessibility to menstrual hygiene products is limited. Culturally-reinforced norms and taboos are still associated with these sanitary kits. Consequently, this excludes other women from participating in recreation, work, and education.

Menstrual comfort can mean different things to various women. This can mean having access to all the options for dealing with periods. Likewise, this can imply ease and affordability when purchasing products. Nonetheless, it’s essential for every woman to feel comfortable and to dress confidently even during that time of the month. How? Let’s unpack the ideas one by one.

  • Period Panties

Period panties have the capacity to act as a convenient alternative or back-up. It can absorb up to four times as much menstrual blood than regular tampons. These are completely hygienic due to the presence of anti-microbial technology that averts germ exposure.

 

Moreover, period panties offer different options for style, affordability, and inclusivity. For instance, shops like knix have period panties which provide worry-free security from blood, pee, and sweat.

 

Additionally, there are certain period panties that are more appropriate for heavy flows and some for light flows — all without the risk of leaking. These underwear options give you freedom to select day clothes that suit your liking.

 

  • Comfortable Leggings

Choosing a stylish and comfortable outfit is quite tricky during your period. Stylish clothing pieces aren’t always comfortable. Inevitably, comfort is the key during periods; however, you can’t let monthly menstruation brush off the thrill that comes with dressing up. Gladly, leggings can be paired with any top garment. 

Leggings provide versatile options for every occasion and are as comfortable as your sweatpants, jeans or trousers. Aside from being trendy, leggings don’t restrict movement and are easy to put on.

  • Menstrual Cup

Menstrual cups are eco-friendly options that have become a hit in the recent years. Notably, these products are both affordable and sanitary compared with other options.

 

A menstrual cup is simply a silicone or rubber cone that is placed into the vagina to gather menstrual blood.  The menstrual cup is a long-term, cost-effective investment. Depending on the type of cup, it needs only to be replaced once every six months to a year.

 

The menstrual cup holds more blood than both pads and tampons. It stays in place for up to 12 hours. The cup comes in an array of shapes and sizes to offer comfort and cater to different needs from heavy to light flows. With this, you can feel at ease when wearing sweatpants while at home. Totally such a win!

 

  • Organic Tampons

 

Organic tampons are made from 100 percent cotton, are unscented, and bleached with peroxide instead of chlorine. They are manufactured without contact with pesticides— which makes them an excellent option for those with sensitive skin. Moreover, organic tampons are just as safe as the non-organic ones. The choice to switch to them largely relies on your personal comfort and preference.

 

For some women, the price difference of organic tampons compared with other products is worth it. Customizable shop subscriptions offer you ease due to monthly house deliveries. Likewise, some of these monthly packages provide you the opportunity to support and donate a part of your purchase to crucial causes.

 

  • Sanitary Napkins

Commonly, for a girl’s first period, menstrual pads are introduced for they are directly accessible and are easy to put on.

A sanitary napkin is a type of feminine hygiene product that is worn externally, unlike tampons and menstrual cups which are inserted inside the vagina. The pad has to be changed several times in a day, depending on the menstrual flow.

Apart from controlling leaks, sanitary napkins are a safe and reliable option when it comes to completely fighting bad odor. Likewise, these shield you against unwanted allergies. 

Sanitary napkins ensure far better flow compared with other products. This offers you freedom and ease when going out in a skirt or dress.  Moreover, this can allow you to feel relaxed during stressful days at work or at school.

 

The Takeaway

Notably, affordable and sanitary menstrual products can be life-altering for women across the globe. 

With all these period product options, it’s possible to feel confident and comfortable while rocking your favorite outfit. These encourage each woman to look for practical items that suit them well and to embrace a body positivity lifestyle.

At the end of the day, it’s all about your priority and preference. Fortunately, with the accessibility of all these options, you don’t need to compromise comfort for style. 

 

How To Rock The Edgy-Chic Look Like A True Fashionista

Fashionistas all across the globe will agree with us that rocking the edgy style is not a matter of joke, and people who can do it with ease are true fashion queens! 

As the fashion standards are ever-evolving, many people are not in the mood to try out the bold, grunge, pop-culture look that was a rage during the 80s and the 90s, even in the noughties. Today, people are more interested in chic and subtle. They are more into trying out aesthetics, having a hint of rock n roll with just one feature highlighting the entire look. 

Today, fashion-forward ladies love to team up a sterling silver chain and rings with tight leather pants, boots, and a jacket maybe. This is what creates an exquisite “edgy” look.  

Wondering how to decode the concept of “edgy” fashion and rock it like a pro? Well, here are some invaluable tips for you.

You cannot just separate edgy fashion from skin-tight jeans. 

Go for distressed, mineral washed, or coated jeans, and make sure that your sophisticated boots or canvas sneakers are visible. You can wear a casual band tee-shirt to show off your wild artistic side, but in case you are planning to visit a fancy place, we will suggest you wear a party top along with some sterling silver accessories. To complete the look, you can try out a messy bun. 

Make your edgy look classy with a cropped leather jacket. 

Whether it is an A-line avant-garde taffeta or a tulle dress, you can always pair it up with a sexy leather jacket. Style your oversized shirt or shirt dress with your very own black leather jacket. The leather jacket is a must-have if you want to get the edgy-look right. 

Go bold in a bralette!

Love to show off your sexy midriff? Why not? Just grab your favorite black bralette, and black jeans for more drama, add a sheer black trench coat, and make the look stand out by adding sterling silver chain, nose rings, finger rings, knuckle rings, and ear studs. Be rest assured, this look is bound to grab the attention of the people around you. You can also wear a tank top or black camisole, a black crop top. 

Going badass is your mantra!

Add badass stuff to your edgy wardrobe like a pair of studded boots, grommet handbag detailing done with chain, and so on. The edgy outfit looks best with bold and sexy Accessories, and the best part is you don’t have to put on heavy makeup to rock the look. If you have an oversized cardigan, nothing like it! These bold accessories go with almost everything such as an LBD, jeans, of course, a baggy t-shirt, and more. 

Can you imagine an edgy look without edgy jewelry? 

No, of course. So, try out some pieces of edgy jewelry made of sterling silver or gold to complement your edgy style. You can pick up the street style and combine it with your edgy look to create your statement. Let the heads turn, and the jaws drop!
