Trendy doesn't always = stylish!

There are a lot of ladies out there who dress according to the trends which is great sometimes but not always! The problem is that certain styles and patterns that are the latest trends, dont suit all body types but instead can only really be pulled off by slim people. So i have picked out 3 key trends from the last year to show you exactly what I mean.

Trend 1 - The Aladdin pants - these pants were very trendy a few months ago and so many ladies rushed out to go by a pair for themselves. The problem with these pants is that they are very baggy so if you have a more voluptuous figure they simply make you look bigger than you are. So if you have a look at the pictures below, you will see that the models on the catwalk pull the look off, but the normal fuller figured lady looks terrible. Rather choose straight legged pants like the lady in the jeans and shirt which will make you look much slimmer and couple it with a trendy styled jacket or big bold accessories.

Trend 2 - The flower print - This was a hugely trendy fashion craze for summer but again, it does not always suit all body types. If you look at the picture of the thin model in the flower dress you will agree that she looks great as she is drawing attention to her great figure. But if you have a look at the normal fuller figured lady you will see that all the flower print does, is draw attention to the top half of her body which is relatively big. Im not saying that fuller figured ladies can't be trendy, but instead of wearing a floral print dress, rather go and by a beautiful flower print scarf or bag to add to your outfit and choose a dress that has a plain pattern which are worn by the fuller figured women below so as not to draw too much attention to your bad areas. These women are dressing according to their body type and look great! 

Trend 3 - Strappy shoes - These have been such a huge trend and they look great when worn appropriately. The problem is when strappy shoes are worn with dresses or skirts they make ones legs look bigger than they are and draw attention to your legs. So unless you have small legs, they don't look good at all unless you are wearing them with pants. The picture of the celebrities wearing the strappy shoes depicts just how they show off their beautiful legs. But if you have a look at the fuller figured women wearing the strappy shoes, they simply draw attention straight to her legs and make them look bigger. Rather choose a classic style sandal as shown in the picture below as this style will not attract attention to your legs and will make them appear slimmer!

So use these tips as inspiration to think twice before you go out and buy items which are trendy. Make sure that whatever you're buying suits your body type and force yourself to get the creative juices flowing to still be trendy without making yourself look bigger than you actually are!
