Britney Spears is the kind of person that most people can identify with. She just seems so normal, just like the girl next door. Her clothes, especially her beloved sweat pants, seem to have come straight off the racks of any department store. They're not even all that special, simply clothes that anyone would be happy wearing. Even the colors - pinks, whites, and blues - are ordinary. She's cute rather than beautiful, her hair is very simple but she always manages to look amazing without looking like she's tried too hard. With her amazing body and muscular physique, Britney likes clothes that show off her figure. She adores the street-inspired styles of "Tommy Hilfiger", "GAP", "Calvin Klein" and many others.
Britney likes Tommy Hilfiger. She finds him really cool. She loves his clothes and the best thing is that she's got a stash of them because she got it for free. She also loves "A/X Armani Exchange," and "Abercombie & Fitch" when she's hanging out and the clean lines of "Calvin Klein" and "Donna Karen" when she needs to dress up. For everything in between, "Bebe" crop tops and fitted suits are just right.
Britney is not a brand name person. "Rampage", "Bebe", "Abercombie & Fitch", "Club Monaco" are some of her favorite stores and they're not expensive at all. They are cute and comfy. And she loved going to thrift stores before she was a star.
Britney tends to avoid skirts unless they're cut off high up the thigh. Skirts that hit below the knee don't flatter her. She likes mini-skirts.
But most of all she likes to wear sneakers. In 2000 Britney said she had 30 pairs of "Sketchers" in a whole range of colors. Britney also has a big weakness for sunglasses. Wherever she goes - gas stations, "Sunglasses Hut" - she always buys new shades.
A self-confessed shopaholic, Britney loves going to the shopping malls. She can't live without shopping trips. Maybe she will not buy everything she see but she definitely pick up something for herself or her little boys, Sean Preston and Jayden James.
But shopping is not as it was several years before. Now people all over the mall are looking at her. Sometimes the store entrance backed up with people. It's happening so many times after Britney got her fame. But unlike most other celebs, she will not hear of shops being kept open especially for her sp she can browse in private. She's still a down-to-earth person who wouldn't dream of inconveniencing anybody.
When she's in between gigs or just hanging out at home, Britney usually likes to wear comfy T-shirts from "Abercrombie & Fitch" or just her regular sweat pants. One of the best things about being home is not having to worry about how she looks. She says that it's great to relax at home, because when she's on tour she usually has about four people fooling with her hair, face and outfit all at once. Sometimes when she goes out in public and doesn't feel like being recognized, she will put herself through a process supermodels call "uglying up". She disguises herself by wearing no make-up and putting on a floppy hat and baggy clothes. The next time you're sitting in a coffee bar, keep your eyes peeled. The girl down at the end of the counter sipping a cappuccino, who bears a inexplicable similarity to Britney Spears, might actually be her!
Despite having a team of advisors to help out with every aspect of her "look'", Britney is totally her own girl when it comes to fashion, and she always makes the final decision on everything she's going to wear.
Britney is always full of ideas for her stage costumes, like her bright pink cowboy hat and matching tank top, although she does have a stylist who transforms her ideas into reality, adding a few extra magical touches to make the clothes really stand out on stage. For example, Britney's school uniform costume for "...Baby One More Time" has sequins sewn into it so that she'll sparkle under the spotlights. No-one loves dressing up more than Britney! One of the most eye-catching costumes that Britney wore on tour was so spectacular that she didn't even walk In it! At one point in the show she was rigged to a wire and pulley that lifted her up into the air from the stage. As she rose, a beautiful dress with an incredibly long skirt extended beneath her, giving the impression of a glamorous ballgown.
However Britney is no exception - the coolest designers compete to see their dresses hugging Britney's gorgeous curves. Giorgio Armani and Donna Karan are among Britney's fave designers, and she was lucky enough to be loaned their creations for her appearances at events such as the "Grammys" and the "Music Video Awards". She also loves Betsey Johnson's wacky and wonderfully surprising clothes.
Britney's Shopping Secrets
Do you know that feeling when you're in a store and suddenly spot the perfect find? It's like an instant chill up your spine. Britney loves when that happens.
Some women like to eat when they're depressed. Not Britney Spears - she goes shopping! The pop princess, who's suffered a series of heartbreaks and breakdowns in the past few years, says shopping makes her feel better. She can be in the dumps of dumpsters and go buy a pair of new shoes, and then it's OK. Even if it's just for the time being, for that moment it's what she needs.
Britney said she is a freak for fashion. lf she's having a bad day, there's something about going out and finding a pair of shoes. What's her secret for great shopping? Look for unique stems. For example, Britney was at her favorite store in Chicago, "Sugar Magnolia," when she saw her first cowboy boots. It was love at first sight!
Simple Tips. Another trick, shop at vintage stores, or raid mom's clothes from her past. Wearing a vintage belt or bag adds instant style. And, change your look. "One minute I'm into ghetto fabulous," says Britney, "then rocker grunge, and then "Abercrombie & Fitch" preppy." It's key to wear what makes you feel good, so skip a trendy outfit if it isn't you.
A good shopping tip: Wear what makes you happy! Try some little touches. It's the details that make an outfit go from OK to great, so accessorize. Try a crystal tattoo on your arm (Britney loves the butterfly design). Put on your favorite sparkly earrings, or try this Britney trick - dust your skin with glitter. She loves shimmery powders and body lotions.
Photoshoots Secrets
The first order of business is sorting through clothes and choosing the outfits Britney will wear for the photo shoot. There are usually designer clothes lined up on racks - an elegant and totally extravagant selection of cool leather pants, skirts and blouses, with some trendy, cute items thrown in. But It wasn't long ago that Britney brought her own clothes for photoshoots! Sometimes she'd bring her clothes and as she was looking through them she'd discover something had a stain on it!
Britney and her stylist choose the outfits they like the most - Britney usually lets her stylist pick most of the items. Sometimes, the stylist will choose something that Britney would never even think of. Britney refuses to try the clothes but her stylist asks her to try, and it looks really good on her.
Although Britney is known for taking chances with her wardrobe (sometimes wearing outfits that inspire tons of criticism), she actually is very conservative in the way she dresses. She would love to wear romantic dresses covered in lace for photo shoots, but when it comes to magazine covers, she knows the rules - a flashier look will definitely catch the eye!
Famous Slogans
Britney sends messages to fans with her sexy T-shirts!
Britney Spears found a provocative new way to express herself: sexually charged T-shirts.
Her shirts featured messages such as "M.I.L.F. In Training"' and "I'm a Virgin (but this is an old T-shirt)". The popstar has also been seen sporting a baseball hat that says, "Shut Up and Do Me."
"Britney may be creating a new hybrid concept," says Dr. Susan R. Kaiser, Professor of Gender Studies and Fashion at the University of California. "She's showing us she's still sexy."
Spears, started to wear the slogan T-shirts in 2004, soon after her courtship with Kevin Eederline began. "When people are going through a change in identity, there's a change in appearance," Kaiser adds. "Obviously, she knows she's being photographed and she's determined to manage her image."
