Fashion changes like the weather; what is “in” today may be “out” the next day. Fashion trends can be addictive too. However, many people, especially women, discover that living up with fashion can be costly and frustrating. On the other hand, choosing quality over style can be a better option that will surely bring great rewards.
The continual battle of fashion trend versus taste makes more victims rather than victors. The problem with trends is that it looks good on the models but does not necessarily fit the majority. Many are fooled to believe that the designs paraded by the tall and slim models are the very things that can improve their appearance. Sadly, there are more petite and chubby women in the audience and fashion is not always friendly to them.
Recently, fashion designers and magazines have considered the plus-size women in their designs. Interestingly, the style for the plus-size promotes the classic and simple cuts. Being simple does not mean you miss out on being beautiful. There is always the style that never fades: the classic beauty. Please don’t mistake classic to something medieval or old fashioned. It is a way of carrying yourself with grace and confidence that goes beyond clothes. Of course, the clothes add up to more than 50% of the impact but finding the right color, cut and texture that suits the user’s build is more important than following the popular mode.
Class is often associated with simplicity. The classic effect is achieved by ample knowledge of what can be applicable in both formal and informal occasion with only a few alterations and mix-matching. Projection is another attribute that is mastered by the people who have positive self-image and confidence. In this case, simplicity means focusing only on the necessities and the basics of good dressing and doing away with the extraneous effects of certain fashion trends such as frills, loud colors and screaming patterns. Moreover, fashion in itself is not wicked; it is the way some people misuse it that it becomes an enemy of what is truly beautiful. Unfortunately, although fashion designs are often an experiment and a product of the rich and creative imaginations of the designers, these designs do not usually suit the mainstream.
In addition, whether you can afford the luxury of shifting from fashion trend to another, it always pays to maintain clothes that depict classic beauty because it is the only style that transcends generations and ages. You can get some tips of what classic styles are by asking the experts, researching or by simply observing. You might discover that the very people you respect and admire are using classic clothes. Furthermore, you will realize that the people who look more dignified and respectable are wearing the classic suit, pencil skirt, and blazers.
Finally, there is indeed beauty in simplicity but be aware that simplicity does not mean cheap. It is a blend of good taste and wise choice. As an attribute of classic beauty, it is where less is more and where quality is the determining factor for good choice and good looks.
