They aren’t me, and I would never feel comfortable following those particular trends. įlorals and ruffles have never been right for my style, and you’ll never see me wearing them, even though they are all the rage, I leave them to those who love them. Instead, I stick to my mostly neutral color palette of black, navy, white, cognac, leopard, and silver and mix them with splashes of bold color. Those colors look awful on me, and I’m not going to wear them. Below I wore a classic fitted black turtleneck sweater, classic black ankle pants, which could be boring, but I added a bold, updated statement necklace to keep it current and interesting.īold hues were everything about 6 years ago, and the fashion scene has swung to the opposite extreme with everything being neutral, nude, naked, non-colors. ![]() I’ve adapted my statement necklaces to wear with simple outfits that on their own might be a little boring, but the necklace makes it interesting. Lots of color, lots of big, attention-grabbing focal points in one outfit, like a rainbow attacked someone. A few years ago the trend with statement necklaces was to wear a colorful statement necklace with a colorful outfit. Statement necklaces are taking a backseat to delicate, layered jewelry, but I have some statement necklaces I occasionally enjoy wearing with very simple outfits when I need one standout focal point. ![]() Skinny jeans are also classic, and if you prefer them, keep wearing them. Skinny jeans are becoming less the thing to wear, but I switched back to bootcut jeans years ago because they flatter my body shape more, and they are a classic style of pants that are always stylish, even when they aren’t trendy. Gold jewelry has been very popular for several years, but I’ve stuck to silver because that is what I have always preferred, and always will. However, I’m very selective in the trends I adopt. Trends are fun, and changing things up keeps fashion interesting. When people who know my style see it they say, “That is so April!” That’s not to say that my style isn’t always evolving or that I ignore trends. The final tip is to stay true to your own personal style. In my head I wanted to wear the cute, poofy styles that other girls my age seemed to love, but I felt ridiculous in them. I got my first pencil skirt when I was 11 and it was true love. I hated wearing flared skirts, baggy sweaters, ruffles, overalls, tunics, pleats, gathers, anything that didn’t skim my body. In those kinds of clothes I WAS playing dress up, even though it was a major trend for girls my age. I would occasionally try them on and felt so uncomfortable and wrong. My sister lived in overalls all through middle school and high school, and she looked so cute and comfortable in them. Even as a kid I hated anything with a lot of fabric, anything loose or really casual. ![]() “You always look like such a little lady!” I remember being a little girl in a group of women who were crooning over my “grown up” outfit, but I wasn’t playing dress up, I was wearing what I liked.įor as long as I can remember, I have preferred, actually NEEDED classic, timeless, tailored clothing styles.
