So you want to look like the most popular female Hollywood celebrities or fashion models. They always seem to wear clothes that are flattering to their figures and know what's hot and what's not. Designers rush to cloth them, so they don't have to make much of an effort to do so. But the rest of us have to try a little bit harder. Here are some tips on stay up-to-date with the latest women's fashion.
Instructions
Be in the know of the fashion world
1. Read women's magazines for style tips. Vogue is the number one that comes to mind, as do Allure, Vanity Fair, Cosmopolitan, In Style and Marie Claire. These magazines will feature articles that show you what styles ruled the runways this season and what trends are going to be popular during the next one. They may also contain tips on wear certain styles to flatter your body type and where to obtain designer outfits and their cheaper knock-offs.
2. Start noticing the clothes in advertisements, and not just those in actual fashion ads. Normally, you may ignore the latest pimple cream commercials or print ads, which may or may not feature celebrities. However, most of the time, the stars or models featured in such ads will wear fashionable clothing. Even if they're advertising milk, they still need to wear something that catches people's eyes.
3. Watch television channels such as Fashion TV (available in Europe, mainly), which shows nothing but runway shows and fashion shoots, as well as entertainment stations such as E! or Bravo. With reality shows where girls compete to become the next Pussycat Doll or shows that put super models Tyra Banks, Heidi Klum or Janice Dickinson in charge of finding the next top models or designers, there is nothing but fashion, fashion and more fashion on your television screen.
4. Window-shop, and not at places like K-mart. Walk down bustling commercial streets known for their boutiques--Oxford Street in London, Robertson Boulevard in Los Angeles and the "Garment District" in central Manhattan (between 34th and 42nd St., approximately). You don't have to go inside the stores if you don't want to--you just want to be able to see the window displays to get an idea of what designs are being showcased.
5. Surf websites sites of popular fashion magazines or trendy women's clothing stores, such as Forever 21, Wet Seal, Macy's or JC Penney. They include pictures of most of the clothes offered at their retail shops and some allow you to piece together a virtual outfit based on your personal style.
6. Read the fashion or style sections of newspapers or newspaper websites. You will find reviews of the latest collections from the most popular designers, reviews of runway shows, style tips and more.
