1.       Know your body type. Not every woman can wear the short shorts or the long maxi dress. That’s OK! When you know your body type, you can dress it in the most flattering way. If you have long legs, then those skirts and heels will look great. If you are on the petite side, try to avoid big, bold patterns.

2.       Look for knocks offs. Those fashion pieces on the runway are certainly fierce, but they usually come with a pretty hefty price tag. Look for similar pieces at your favorite clothing retailer. You can often find looks that are near replicas of the ones you saw in the runway.

3.       Follow your favorite designers. Once you find a designer and a particular look that you love, stick with it. You can follow the trends and the styles of your favorite designer to always stay on track with style.

4.       Pick one trend. You’ll want to pick just one trend per season to wear – and wear it well. Overdoing the trends will make you look less fashionable, instead of more.

Now that you know the tricks, it’s time to start wearing your favorite styles!
