Developing Your Own Style or Following Trends?
Fashion experts have been long arguing over the question what it means to be fashionable. More and more voices stated that it was much more important to have an immaculate fashion sense, enabling you to make best options at minimal costs, rather than follow hot trends blindly.
 
 However, we are not going to deepen into details of theoretical points of fashion and style now. Here are some useful practical tips on how to become really stylish instead.
 
 It is generally said that the sense of style is a thing someone is born with, as well as a person can either be charismatic or not, have a true ear for music or be tone-deaf, etc. We all have different heredity. It doesnt mean that you cannot develop a good taste. You really can. It depends on your wish and will.
 
And we will try to give you a helping hand. Remember, where theres a wish, theres a way. An important step is to have style role models. Even a most immaculate taste needs a good setting. Consider best examples, which will provide you with the background for the cultivation of your own style. You can rely on the look of people whose taste and style you admire.
 
 We recommend you to look through the lists of most stylish and best-dressed people in the world that are regularly published by Vanity Fair, Harpers Bazaar, etc. The last list by Harpers Bazaar was compiled relying on the opinions of the Englishwomen whose taste is generally considered quite well developed and refined.
 
We warn you against jumping to conclusions hastily. Filter the information. Take it critically. The fact beyond any discussion, so much vivid it is, is that modern women are getting tired of glamour. We want to do so many things during a day. We need time for everything. As a result, the clothes should be elegant and practical. This idea was originally realized by Coco Chanel. Today, many collections like those of Giorgio Armani, Gucci, Calvin Klein follow these traditions.
 
 Gwyneth Palthrow was more than once called one of the most stylish women in the world. Do you know what her favorite piece of clothing is? Jeans However, no wonder. They often say that a good taste is an art to wear most usual and simple clothes.
 
 This year, Vanity Fair called Kate Moss one of the best-dressed women of the planet. Thats a real credit for the model whose appearance does not fit generally accepted standard. She is so high on the list for her unsurpassed skill to combine different pieces of clothes and her great talent to wear only the things that flatter her strong points and hide weak ones. This is, lets face it, one of the major components of a good taste.
 
Apart from Kate Moss, the top list by Vanity Fair includes Sienna Miller, Victoria Beckham, Oprah Winfrey, Condoleeza Rice and others. If you decide to take their looks into consideration while developing your own unique style, youll be glad to know that these VIPs taste is well within fall 2006 fashion trends.
 
 And this season fashion dictates the abundance of all shades of gray, earthen tone with the occasional splashes of red, purple, gold and deep blue, volume in everything, fur trimmings, platform shoes and long gloves. Add natural make-up and you are next to perfection. However, escape being ideal, thats boring.
