Know your Own Fashion Style

As a society always mindful of what’s popular, follows dutifully along, eager to purchase the must have designer clothing of the season. But, ultimately, the fashion style that works best for us is that which looks good on our particular body and reflects our very individual personality.

As anyone who follows the fashion industry will tell you, trends come and go. Designers such as Polo Ralph Lauren present their newest lines and before you know it stores are carrying these clothes in every conceivable variation. The most important thing to remember is that just because a particular fashion style is popular at the moment does not mean that it will look good on your particular body. Wearing something just for the sake of wearing it ultimately goes against the principles of fashion. A fashion style that you choose to wear should be something that accentuates your positives, downplays your negatives, and complements the overall line of your body.

Take the time to get to know your body and what styles work best with it. Assess your body objectively; if you have trouble spots, look for cuts and fabrics that camouflage what you need them to camouflage; if you are on the shorter side, look for a fashion style that elongates your body; and always choose colors that complement your skin tone.

Once you find a style that works stick with it and add your personal touches to reflect your personality; that is the best fashion style you can possibly wear.
