How to Make the Latest Fashion Style Look
Great on You
No matter what the latest fashion style, you can wear it
beautifully with a little bit of shopping savvy and a thorough
knowledge of your body type. So it doesn't matter if jeans are
high or low rise this season, and it doesn't even matter where
the skirt lengths end up. The key to wearing clothing well - no
matter what the current fashion trend might be - is to choose
pieces that will accentuate your positives and minimize your –
not so positives. You will soon be ready to choose the fashion
styles that will look fabulous on you. All it takes is a little
bit of time in front of the mirror and an honest evaluation of
your shape.
Five Body Types
While every woman has her own unique shape, most will fall
into one of five basic categories. The hourglass shape is wider
in the chest and hips, with a narrow waistline. This is the
shape that is tailor made for trendy belts, flowing skirts and
v-neck tops to flatter your bustline. An apple shape is wider
on the top and narrower on the bottom – perfect for the
wide-leg and bootcut pants that are popular now. If you have a
pear shape, you are narrower on top and wider on the bottom.
There are plenty of lovely choices in the current fashion style
for this figure as well. Try the current fashion trend of
longer jackets and sweaters with a v-neck blouse underneath to
make the most of your assets.
The petite figure is fortunate today, because there are many
pieces in the latest fashion style designed just for her.
Beware of outfits that cut you off at the middle, shortening
your already small physique. Cropped jackets and straight leg
pants are the perfect choice for this figure. Finally, for
those who have been blessed with a long, lean shape, your
options are fairly wide open when it comes to the latest
fashion style. Sometimes the most challenging aspect of this
figure type is finding clothing that is long enough to
accommodate your tall stature. The good news is that many
retailers are now offering many of their fashion styles in tall
and long sizes just for you.
Fashion style will come and go, but knowing how to wear
those trends will make the difference between a fashion savvy
dresser and a woman who is a slave to the current fashion
style. Get hip to your body shape and choose your latest
fashion style according to what will look good on you. Clothes
worn well are always in style.
