Fashion is an incredibly fickle, but fashionistas of all ages still love it! However, this can be a quite confusing topic, as the must haves of last season should never see the light of day for this season. If you find yourself wondering what’s in and what’s out, you should be properly schooled in the latest trends in fashion. By far, the best resource for finding the latest fashion trends are the plethora of available fashion magazines! Take time to flip through the fashion mags to see what’s in, what’s out, who’s wearing what, and what you shouldn’t be wearing at all!
In order to keep up with the latest trends in fashion, consider building your wardrobe around staple items that are sure to be in style regardless of the season. These basic pieces serve as the foundation for your wardrobe, allowing you to spend a minimal amount each season on stylish extras that may only last a single season. By keeping the large pieces of your wardrobe capable of shifting from season to season, you will be able to work on any budget and stay as stylish as ever!
Invest in a couple pieces of trendy items for each season. None of these purchases should be splurges, as you will only be able to wear them for an extremely limited amount of time. Although that designer bag looks like it will be around forever, it probably won’t, so use the money to purchase something a bit more sensibleand something else completely fun! Since many of these items are it now, there is little chance of finding them on sale. Consider shopping at discount stores or buying more inexpensive items, regardless of their quality. Remember, these items will be on the “out” list in a couple of months, so they are not likely to wear out from excess use.
Everyone has those pictures tucked away in the bottom of the photo box. You know the oneswith the outrageous elephant leg bell bottoms, electric colored tops, fingerless gloves, and eveneekleg warmers! In order to avoid becoming a fashion victim later on in your life as a fashionistas, consider going easy on the fashion trends. Just because super huge hoop earrings, splashy faux flower corsages, and cowboy boots are all the rage this season, you by no means should wear them all at once! Limit yourself to only one or two tremendously trendy items per wardrobe in order to be fashion fabulous instead of a fashion victim!

There are a multitude of fashion brands in the market, especially in the jeans market, however none achieve the iconic status and brand salience as Levi’s. The fortified and unique image of the Levi’s brand allows them to not only be the most recognised but dominate the jeans market from markedly more expensive competitors. Levi’s can be mentioned in the same breath as Diesel, Ralph Lauren, Calvin Klein and Evisu, and in certain parts of the world they are considered a luxury brand; in southern Europe and parts of Asia and South America they are regularly preferred to designer labels.
An icon imbues legendary, revolutionary, original and unique qualities that are fully recognised and accepted by a large audience. An icon is a revered figurehead that is truly respected and regarded as a leader of their element. An icon that effuses a heritage of innovation and originality through 150 years of social and economic change and still remains at the vanguard of its field becomes a personality and a part of one’s life.
On a global scale people look to Levi’s for authenticity, originality and dependability, in other words they see it as the ‘real deal’. Worldwide Levi’s is accepted as an American icon, an idea furthered by creative images of ‘the jeans that built America’ and the global audience put their trust into the Levi’s ‘institution’ that embodies history, innovation and expertise.
As one would expect from a leader, Levi’s justifies its iconic image by their hand in consistently setting new trends, re-designing the marketplace and raising the benchmark for quality and satisfying consumers’ needs. Respect is not earned cheaply, and an icon is nothing without it. Levi’s through their values in integrity, empathy and courage have ventured and developed a high ethical conduct and social responsibility; observed from the 1960 Levi’s integrated southern plant, the positive representation in their advertising of older, disabled, black and ethnic people, through to the Community Involvement Teams and the Levi Strauss Foundation. These initiatives are not overlooked by the socially and ethically aware audience that now exists and thus the worldwide respect and trust put into Levi’s is regularly consolidated.
Another fact that confirms Levi’s iconic status is its longevity in remaining the most popular and respected denim brand that people want to be associated with. The history illustrates this: the 1950s Hollywood movies depicting the ‘biker boys’ cool image, the 70s Levi’s wearing ‘Saturday Night Fever Culture’, clothing the U.S Olympic team and the ‘Blues 501′ popularity in the 80s, and the cutting-edge unforgettable communications of the 90s up to the current day. Original creative ideas like ‘Laundrette’, ‘Flat Eric’, ‘Clayman’, ‘Twist’ and ‘Odyssey’ represent milestones in solidifying the global Levi’s appeal and raising its position up on a pedestal, akin to the status of an icon.
Endorsed by history and consolidated by the unique encapsulating imagery and communication by the advertising medium, Levi’s has ceased to be a mere fashion brand and has become an international symbol of continuous innovation, quality and dependability. Henceforth considering the range of appeal, from cowboys to skaters, and the depth of its global status, it remains very difficult not to accept Levi’s as the denim icon.

Isn’t it frustrating to go through racks of clothes in your cupboard, only to find that there’s nothing in there that really make you look good?
Is it your body shape that’s wrong or are you picking clothes that are just wrong for your figure type?
I believe the latter is more likely to be true. Here’s how you can revamp your wardrobe so everything in it suits your figure type.
Set aside all the clothes that don’t fit you anymore. Weed out from your closet, anything that’s worn out, faded or totally out of style. Take a look at what’s left.
Go through each and every item. Does it flatter you?
Be ruthless. If the answer is no, or it would if only….
Throw it out.
Look again at the dwindling pile of clothes. These are the ones you’d keep
and wear. The rest? Give them away.
From this point on, make it a rule that you only get clothes that flatter
your figure.
What would flatter your figure?
Get a measuring tape.
Measure the width of your shoulders (widest part) and write that down.
Measure the widest part of your hips and write that down.
Which is wider, your shoulders or your hips?
If your hips are wider, you’ve got a pear shaped figure.
If your shoulders are wider than your hips, you are top heavy.
If both shoulders and hips are of about the same width, you’ve got an hourglass figure.
