The Latest Fashion Trends
What IS Fashion?????????
Fashion is by most the most interesting topic I
have ever researched. I never knew there could be
such a variety of research on this topic over the web.
Fashion is described in several different ways, especially according to your personality and how you carry yourself. College students should be entertained about the latest fashion trends, tips, and how your style can benefit you as an individual.

What is fashion? College fashion is a blog for stylish college
girls, featuring fashion tips for students, the latest fashion trends, beauty
tips, online sale updates, ruminations on college life, college fashionistas’
street style, as well as style advice for 20 something’s. (College Fashion,
2012) It is almost spring and during
spring people are known to wear very dramatic (bright) colors. Why reading a
clog post I noticed that not only do they wear bright clothing but also bright
nail polish. One of the latest trends is a striped nail designed with different
colors. “One of the things that drew me to this pattern is that it feels like
something you would see on a beach in the south of France on a hot summer day.”
Says Samantha. These stipe nails will be the one of the biggest trends of
Spring 2012.
TIPS ON FASHION. . . . . . . . .
Would you like tips on how to wear the latest trends? Majority
of college students are willing and able to be updated with the fashion and
some are not due to due to specific prices, but do not worry because there is
also a way to budget your money and stay updated. Going to college presents
unique fashion challenges; perhaps the most perplexing being dresses on a limit
budget. In high school, when you didn’t have rent, bills and student loans to
worry about, maybe you had new clothing every week. Part of the college
experience is learning how to start your life, including forming a brand new
relationship with money. Now you are concerned about saving—yet still juggling
a social life that most likely demands money, purchasing necessities like dish
soap, and feeling guilty about going to Starbucks. It’s definitely a big change
from worry-free high school days. (Caitlyn, 2011) Although you are learning to
budget and manage time in college it is possible for fashionable students to
adjust to a wardrobe budget even though it can be difficult. A few tips on how
to do this are shop on sale racks, switch old items up with the previous
seasons, invest in nice worthy shoes, and you can also shop in your friend’s
closet. Those are only a few ways to budget.
INDIVIDUALITY AND FASHION......
How does fashion shape you as an individual? Some individuals
are very confident with themselves and their styles, some haven’t found their
style yet. Not necessarily due to a lack of confidence but they do not know
where to start. There are all shapes and sizes in the world. There
are five main types of female body shape: Apple shape
(or round), Pear
shape (or triangle/ bottom heavy), Strawberry
shape (or inverted triangle/ top heavy), Hourglass
shape (or curvy) and Rectangle
shape (also known as straight, ruler, or boyish)
women. The styles of clothing that look great on an hourglass
figure won’t necessarily flatter a pear
shaped woman or an apple shaped woman so it’s important you find the one that
suits you best. (Joy Wilson, n.d.) You should find your body shape to figure
out what style you can mange you will be surprised how apiece of clothing
suites your body structure. There are some fashion dos and don’t because every
style does not fit everyone. Why
are there fashion do's and don't? Well as we are told a million and
one times we are all "unique", each one different in our own
way. Most women, everyone I know anyway, have something about
their bodies that they just don’t like. Some of us are tall and others are
short. One woman may be large on the bottom, the other large on the
top. What is so strange is that we always criticize the very attribute
that other women are envious of. So stop! It doesn't do you any good
to wish for different features. No matter how hard you wish, or how
much you complain your short legs are not going to get any
longer, or your long legs aren't going to get
any shorter! We are what we are. It’s time to learn to love ourselves for who
we are and what we can become. You
can learn how to celebrate your curves and imperfections when you know the
right fashion dos and don'ts for you. The important thing with fashion do's and
don't is to get to know you, and YOUR body. Find out what your body
type is and embrace it. Find out what looks great on you, and find
what will help you look your best with your fashion do's and don'ts!

Fashion
changes throughout the seasons. Although you may not be able to stay updated
with the latest trends, my research allows you to understand others
individuality.
