Navigating through Fashion Trends (for Women)

Have you ever spent an astronomical amount of money on an item of clothing only to find out shortly after that it is "so last season"

? How do you sort through the numerous fashion trends and make smart purchases, while remaining stylish? Being fashionable does not mean blindly following every single trend that the fashion industry creates. It takes practice, but you can be current and still be yourself!

With the change of the season, a change in wardrobe (or a few new additions to your current walk-in paradise) is something that may be on your mind. The fall 2010 season is bringing Items such as high-waisted, wide-legged or flared pants, soft silk or satin bow-blouses, cozy knitwear, classic leather jackets, clogs, and curve loving dresses and skirts back in the limelight. We're also seeing shiny or metallic fabrics in jewel tones and gold.

How do you invest in the right items make these trends work for you? When considering an investment piece, it is important to look at which trends will stand the test of time and separate the disposable ones. For instance, of the fall 2010 items, leather jackets and soft satin blouses are some trends that have surfaced multiple times before. Those would be wise investment pieces, where you would focus on quality of the fabric and design. For those trends that tend to disappear quickly and do not have a long lifetime, you can still indulge in them, but it's best to spend less on them.

While purchasing a new item, whether it's the latest trend in shoes, clothing or accessories, keep in mind that these items have to be harmonious with your personality style. We can all admit to having purchased an item simply because it's in style, only to realize that they just don't work with our style. It is important to stay to stay true to yourself by picking the trends that work for you. For example, if you would like to try some of the metallic jewel or gold tones and that is just not part of your personality, try to incorporate this trend in your wardrobe by purchasing a metallic or jewel tone handbag or earrings.
