Every
woman wants to feel current, in the know or updated in fashion and beauty, but
sometimes its hard to translate what you see on the runways, in magazines or on
tv into the everyday woman’s wardrobe. From simple to drastic, change comes in
all sizes and forms. Every woman can see the current trends, they’re
everywhere. The key is making those trends work for you, converting them into
you style, adding them to your signature look. Here are several tips and ideas
to make your style more current.
FASHION:
When it
comes to fashion, there are a few things to keep in mind to modernize your
look:
1.
Add bold colors or prints (polka dots, stripes,
lace and animal print) to your wardrobe. The addition of a fun shoe, bold
blazer or printed camisole can really modernize everything from business casual
to weekend wear.
2. Mix
leather, sequins, studs and suede into an outfit. By adding different textures
to an outfit, it really can transform a look. But make sure you keep it simple;
too much detail can make an outfit busy. Have one focal point/texture and
smaller details to compliment.
3. Update
your jeans. The modern woman is now wearing a skinner fit, whether it be skinny
jeans or skinnier boot cut. The skinnier the better. These cuts both flatter
curves and create them.
4. Add a
jacket to an outfit. The Moto, bomber, or varsity jackets are making
appearances in trends. Add one to the always faithful t-shirt and jeans to kick
up the appeal.
5. Try fun
colored leggings or tights to transform a traditional skirt or dress. This look
is in and really adds a nice flare to an A-line skirt or cute dress.
6. Mix the
patterns that you already have together. Still keep in mind complimenting
colors, but definitely try this one this season.
HAIR AND MAKEUP:
Trends
in beauty are also good to take advantage of when updating your look:
1. Add
hair accessories to the bland ponytail or bun. Indie bands are all the rage
right now. I’m also seeing bows making a comeback. Even adding a cute head band
can real take that boring do to the next level.
2. Get a
fun manicure for a pop of flare. Bold color, designs and even press on prints are
very in and are a great expression of your style.
3. Add a
bang to update a cut, without having to commit to chopping length. Whether it
be a side, long and whispy or big and blunt, bangs are a great way to enhance
your look.
4. Use a
bold lipstick or eyeshadow to modernize your makeup. Just don’t do too much,
pick a focal point (eye or lip) and keep the rest simple.
5. Add
warmth or coolness to haircolor to compliment the season. With each season, the
color palette changes, same can go for your hair. By making subtle changes to
your color, your look van be transformed season to season.
6. Try a
new hot tool to style. Always doing the same thing gets old, try a different
texture with a curling wand, using bigger sections or simply twisting a section
before using iron and alter the curl pattern, creating a different look.
