The Perfect Trend To Follow

At the start of every season, the fashion experts on TV and in magazines tell us what the “must haves” are for us to add to our closets. Perhaps it is a white shirt, black dress, tan trench coat, and animal print shoes or belt.

Oh, wait! Isn’t that what seems to be recommended to women practically every year, even though tan is a very unflattering color on many women, including myself?

Black is harsh on some others, and white can make some people’s skin tone look ghostly. Spellcheck may have changed ghastly to ghostly, but there isn’t much of a difference, right?

These experts typically represent a manufacturer or retailer and are there to encourage shopping. Trend purchases are often behind many of those price tags I see hanging in women’s closets on unworn purchases.

Actually, there are a few women who can pull off almost any look, but that is their personal style, and they typically work in the fashion field. These women would never be labeled a fashion victim as they are all about being on-trend and are in the business of doing so.

But if you are an entrepreneur, executive, stay-at-home mom, lawyer, speaker, writer, decorator, artist, volunteer, fundraiser, etc., you want your unique talents, personality, creativity, and self-confidence to shine, not the metallic top the fashion stylist on TV claimed you simply MUST wear.

No, you do not have to wear or buy the latest trend to look current or fashionable. Not following the current fad is a style in itself and one that I employ.

This does not mean dressing like you did 20 years ago, even though you may be lucky enough to still fit in your closet’s archives. Nor does dressing to be stylish and in style mean wearing crop tops or thigh-high boots, just because they are the ‘must haves ‘ of the season.

Even worse, is how much older we can look when wearing an outfit based on the hottest trend, instead of what works best for her body, age, and lifestyle.

Remember those low-cut pants that caused men, small children, and us ladies to gasp when the wearer bent over? At least with a plumber, it is worth the offense as we want our leaky faucet fixed, but it’s not so endearing when a woman bends down so we can see the manufacturer label of her underwear…or more! 😬

STYLING TIP – The key to looking stylish and confident isn’t about following trends—it’s about wearing what truly flatters you and makes you feel great. Your style should reflect your unique personality and lifestyle, not someone else’s idea of what’s in vogue.
