With each change of season, the fashion industry releases a number of trends, whether it be particular shades and hues, a shoe type, such as the current and ubiquitous wedge sneakers, or shape, such as the peplum skirt. However, the thing to remember, is that all of these trends may not be for you. In other words, it may be that they do not completely flatter your figure. The key point is to remember your body type, and yes, even size. Despite what the fashion magazines try to sell you, an extremely skinny woman, does not look best in a body conscious dress; which do not complement boyish figures. In contrast, a larger woman, or one with an apple body type, should avoid wearing midriff-baring tops.
Now, I’m not saying that one should not experiment with the many fun trends. I would encourage you to simply focus on those that will actually work for you. So, head to the mall, the downtown shopping district, or a favorite boutique, and try on a few of these trendy items. Not sure if you would look good in stripes? Well, grab a few of these items, both horizontal and vertical stripes, in varying widths, and head to the dressing room. Once you determine what looks best on you, begin to incorporate similar items in your wardrobe.
As Herlande Moise, CEO and President of Lumiere Magazine, the premier lifestyle fashion and beauty magazine for Caribbean-American women, points out “trends are fleeting, but fashion is permanent”.
