In a world extraordinarily focused on outward appearance we need only to open a magazine or turn on our televisions to see the latest and greatest fashion trend; it walks the red carpet checks out a movie premier and heads out nightly to the hottest restaurants. And we as a society always mindful of what's popular follows dutifully along eager to purchase the "must have item 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. What is one year's hot item is the next season's fashion don't.Designers present their newest lines and before you know it stores are carrying these clothes in every conceivable variation. And then just as quickly they're gone. It's almost impossible to keep pace. Luckily the fashion style that makes the most sense on an individual level is the fashion style that reflects who we are as people and that never goes out of style.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 bodyand always choose colors that complement your skin tone.
