00:00What's up Essence Live? I'm Dana Blair here with the beautiful and talented fashion and style expert, Ms. Ty Beauchamp.
00:08How are you?
00:09Hey, what's up?
00:10We're going to jump into some tips so that you stay fly all weekend long.
00:13Okay.
00:14Even past the festival.
00:15Absolutely. All through the summer.
00:17All through the summer.
00:18What is the biggest fashion faux pas during the summer that you feel?
00:22Okay, just one, Dana. You only want one. I'll give you one.
00:25Give me two. I'll take two.
00:27I'm going to be an expert that I know I can be and am.
00:30The biggest faux pas, I'm so tired of crazy booty shorts.
00:34Oh, the ones with the under booty. I like to call it the lower cheek.
00:37Yeah, it's too much.
00:38It's a lot.
00:39It is too much and I also feel like it's not just inappropriate, it just doesn't do anything for you.
00:45Like, you know, at the beach, I get it, but when you're popping around Essence Fest, not so much.
00:51I support that one.
00:53I support that one, totally.
00:54What is one fashion trend that works for all shapes and sizes?
00:57Oh, wow.
00:58There are a few.
00:59I think one great fashion trend that works for all shapes and sizes because it's more about color is just wearing something crisp and white.
01:05Like, white jeans are great.
01:07The crisp white shirts are in.
01:09We are seeing a lot of white tunics and I think that's also appropriate for festivals as well.
01:12Oh, definitely.
01:13Especially in that New Orleans heat.
01:14New Orleans heat.
01:15Right.
01:16You can wear your white.
01:17I think that's a great white.
01:18And the other thing that I love too that is also festival appropriate is our captains.
01:22Oh, lovely.
01:23Right?
01:24A great captain.
01:25Super light, flowy.
01:26Super light, flowy.
01:27Work for all body shapes and sizes.
01:29If you want something that looks a little bit more form fitting to create a more goddess
01:33look, you can belt it.
01:34You can play with it.
01:35Right?
01:36So there are ways to kind of play with the captain.
01:37Those are the captain and white.
01:38I'll give you two.
01:39Okay.
01:40What is one fashion essential that every lady must have this summer?
01:44I would say a great pair of sunglasses.
01:46Mm-hmm.
01:47Really, really stunning sunglasses and I like ones that are kind of unique because I think
01:52that when you have something on your face you want to make a statement with it.
01:54Right.
01:55The other thing is that when you're tired and going to the grocery store.
01:57Or when it's that Monday and you're coming back after you partied all Sunday.
02:00Right.
02:01You're like, ah!
02:02So they do double duty.
02:04They do double duty.
02:05Yes, they do.
