How do you dress in fashion?

Simple question, complicated answer.

We're all different, and fashion is not a one-size-fits-all type proposition. What looks great on one woman may look ridiculous on another. Secondly, we all have different tastes -- one girl's "to die for" is another girl's "who in the world would wear that?!" Finally -- and perhaps most importantly -- nobody looks good in everything. Even if you are a model size, there are certain clothes that won't work on you, regardless of how tall and thin you are.

So let me take a few minutes to de-mystify the whole how to dress in fashion question with a simple answer: don't start with fashion.

Instead, start with you.

While fashion trends come and go, you'll have the same height and body shape for decades. Those hips of yours will be around next season, as will your high waist or long neck. So your first question when looking at fashion trends in magazines, online, or on television should be, "Will that work for me?"

Typically, you'll look best in clothes that have the same shape as you. If you carry weight in your hips, for example, an A-line dress echoes your body shape. Reed thin with no discernible waist? A slim sheath will do nicely. Have generous curves but a tiny waist? A wrap dress will show that off.

So your first step in learning how to dress in fashion is finding clothes the same shape as you.

You may or may not have heard about color analysis before, but it boils down to this: some colors look better on you than others. Your skin tone, hair color, and eye color determine which colors those are. Some people look better in jewel tones like ruby, sapphire and emerald; others look better in soft pastels like soft pink, sky blue, and bright yellow. Some brides look better in white; others look better in ivory. Once you learn which colors work best on you, you can build a wardrobe around that color palette, mix-and-match clothes more easily, and look fabulous every time you walk out the door.

So what happens when you don't wear your best colors? You can look older, more tired, or heavier than you are. Not the end of the world, obviously, but if you're going to spend your money on fashion, why look anything other than your best?

You know how some women gravitate to flower prints and lots of ruffles while others like leather and clean, sharp lines (and still others prefer none of the above)? It's because different people have different clothing personalities, just like we have different preferences for things like architecture, food, or men. Sometimes the latest fashion trends appeal to us, sometimes they just won't. So don't buy things just to buy them so you can be "in fashion" and "like everyone else." You're not like everyone else. You're you. Be discerning. Stick with the styles you like, pass on the ones you don't.

P.S. If you have "mistakes" hanging in your closet right now, it's probably because you were shopping under the influence of someone else's clothing personality, or you played fashion lemming to a "to-die-for" trend that, quite honestly, you could have lived without.

So what does this all boil down to?

While fashion mavens will say you "must have" this or you "must have" that, the reality is that in order to learn how to dress in fashion, you need to start with what works on you and assess styles and trends accordingly. If black clothes and big hats are in and you look horrid in both, wear something different. If skinny jeans are in and you "don't do" skinny, find a trend you can do instead.

It really IS that simple, once you learn what works for you. So if you're ready to stop wasting money buying clothes that don't work...
