INPUT ARTICLE: Article: Don’t worry about dressing up for breakfast or lunch. Most people relax and lounge by the pool during the day on cruises, so break out your casual clothes for daytime activities. You should still make an effort to look presentable during the day. You wouldn't want to wear your pajamas to walk around the cruise ship. Wear jeans and a lightweight t-shirt or throw on a sundress. If you’re going on a cruise somewhere warm, shorts paired with a blouse or t-shirt is an easy go-to casual outfit. If you’re going somewhere cold, a heavy sweater with jeans or khakis works. You’ll have a better time walking around the deck and relaxing if you’re dressed in something comfortable. You may not be able to wear shorts into the dining room for dinner, so factor in time to change if you decide to wear them. Go with a pair of sneakers or sandals during the day, or a pair of flip-flops if you’ll be swimming at the pool. Avoid shoes that might hurt your feet, like high heels and dress shoes. Wear a shirt and shorts or a dress over your bathing suit to get from your room to the pool area. When you leave the pool area, cover up again. Make sure you bring shoes for your walk to and from the pool area.

SUMMARY: Wear casual clothes during the day. Dress in clothes you’re comfortable in. Wear comfortable shoes you won’t mind walking around in. Don’t wear your bathing suit outside of the pool area.


INPUT ARTICLE: Article: Styling scissors can be bought at any beauty supply store. The scissors have a sharpness meant for hair. Common household scissors are meant to cut more coarse things like paper and plastic. Beauty supply stores often sell scissors meant for hair at various sizes. Smaller scissors will allow for more control and may come in handy when shaping your fringe. Divide your hair into horizontal rows of no more than 1” thick. Then, begin at the bottom. Hold the scissors upright and line them up along your hair before cutting. Make minimal, vertical snips at your bangs that go along the hair rather than across. This will help avoid cutting your hair into a flat line.  For classic bangs, the shortest point should fall at the bridge of the nose between your eyes. Remember to cut less and leave more. You can always come back and cut more if your new bangs are too long. You can keep your hair in position with a comb with your non-dominant hand and cut with your dominant hand. Move as little to one side as possible to ensure you're cutting all of your intended bangs. Continue making vertical snips along your hairs' ends. Cut as flat as possible - without cutting across - near the middle of your head and allow for longer strands as you work your way outward. After you've finished one side, repeat the process on the other.  Cut at a diagonal angle - about 45 degrees -  to achieve an edgier, less blunt look. Some bangs are straight across the forehead and longer as you get to one side. Other styles can be curved, with length that slightly increases toward the outside corners Keep working your way up toward the crown of your head, cutting as sparingly as possible and never directly across. When your bangs are there, you'll know it!  Cutting less and leaving more hair is a great way to avoid common mistakes like a crooked line or missing chunks. Remember to be patient. Think of your hair as an art piece - nothing is perfect when rushed. Congratulations, you've achieved one of the most popular and fashionable hairstyles out there, all from the comfort of your own home!  Remember, if your bangs are still too long, you can always re-comb and re-cut. The same cannot be said about them being too short! If your new bangs are too thin, pull hair from closer to the top of your head and cut accordingly. If they’re too thick, hold them up straight and cut into the ends deeply with vertical or diagonal snips.

SUMMARY: Choose an appropriate pair of scissors. Divide the bangs into 1” sections and start cutting at the bottom section. Move your scissors to the left or right about a quarter of an inch, and continue cutting. Repeat the cutting process until you manage to shape your new bangs. Shake your hair around, part it, and you're done!


INPUT ARTICLE: Article: Skinny and straight-leg jeans tend to be the most flattering style to pair with ankle boots. They hug your curves and stay cuffed for a long time when you fold them. Skinny jeans tend to be the best option since they’re stretchy and don’t show many bumps when folded or cuffed. However, straight-leg jeans can help to create a more relaxed look. These jeans are fitted around the hips but flare out slightly below the knee, making them a great cut to wear with ankle boots. Instead of trying to tuck or cuff these jeans, allow them to fall directly over the top of each boot, covering the top portion. Try to stay away from cuts that have extremely flared hems. These tend to break up your leg and can make them look short. Look for a pair of cropped skinny or straight-leg jeans that leave around 1 inch (2.5 cm) of space in between the bottom of the jeans and the top of the ankle boots. This tiny strip of skin creates a professional and polished look, without the hassle of tucking or cuffing the jeans. If you have an older pair of skinny jeans, you can make your own cropped jeans by using a sharp pair of scissors to cut the jeans just above your ankle. Use a tape measure and pencil to mark off the section you'd like to remove. Try on your jeans without the boots first. Ideally, the lower hem of each leg should hit at about midpoint of your ankle. If the hem is touching the ground, your jeans are too long. If your jeans are too long, they can bunch around your ankles, making your legs look shorter than they are.

SUMMARY:
Opt for a pair of skinny or straight-leg jeans if you want to cuff them. Pick a pair of bootcut jeans to wear them untucked. Purchase a pair of cropped jeans to show off the tops of the boots. Make sure the hem is at least 1–1.5 in (2.5–3.8 cm) off of the ground.
