The NEW year is here
and you want to reinvent yourself. What better way to start with your style.
Style is an expression and with any expression, you must know yourself. No one
is perfect, but in order to be the perfect YOU, you have to know your body
shape. Most people don’t think of fashion as a discipline. The way a garment
fits is an important factor when presenting the best YOU. Here’s a few tips on
how to incorporate a few 2013 trends with your body shape.
Trend #1: BLACK AND
WHITE
Classic and simple
trend. But don’t think of just your white blouse and black pants. Switch it!
Try finding a pair of white trousers. If are bottom heavy (rounded shape &
triangle shape), you might want to not do white on your lower half. Instead opt
out for a cream or beige bottom. With your black top, select texture instead of
your usual button down shirt. Go for a silk blouse with an interesting collar.
Prints are meant to
add interest to your get up. When wearing prints, you should stick to one
article of clothing. If you are top heavy (inverted triangle shape, diamond
shape), choose prints for your lower half. A printed dress would be a great
option for this trend as well. If you are modest of your midsection (rounded
shape, diamond shape), choose dresses that are cinched at the waist to give you
an A-lined silhouette.
Last season, everyone
was into neon. Some loved it. Most hated it. So for 2013, designers have
electrified colors instead. To squeeze this trend in your wardrobe, try
starting with a basic button-down top. If you have wide shoulders (Hourglass
shape, inverted triangle, rectangle shape), try adding a blazer over the top
for balance.

Trend #4: LEATHER
We all assume that leather should be worn in the colder months, but this trend has extended from last winter, through the summer (surprisingly), and back to winter again. Now, there have been highlights on wearing leather skirts, pants, and tops. There are even styles that add leather detailing such a leather sleeves on tops, pockets, and so forth. For all body shapes, the classic moto-jacket will fits any style.
