Stuck on the jean scene The worlds media is constantly buzzing about the latest trends to grace the catwalk . The question is, Are these “trends” new, fresh ideas? Or are they copy-cat versions of a greater era? Has real fashion lost its glitz and glamour? You tell me.

Fashion has followed a continuous cycle over the past few years. Elements of style from gone by years has often been incorporated into today’s clothes but without that sense of daring.
Style is unique, something very few of us can claim to be. Jeans and a nice top is as exciting as fashion gets these days. Would you rather be a dedicated follower of fashion or a trend setter?
To be a trend setter doesn’t mean you cant wear something other people have, just that you wear it differently. Fashion has always been categorised, and unfortunately we will nearly always fall under one or more of these groupings. You may be an Indie girl, a prep, hippie, punk, goth, rock chick etc. or you are simply a convenient dresser. Whatever the case may be, if you are happy with your appearance then your opinion is the only one that matters! This article is those of you who wish to put the fun back in fashion.

Bright clothes are eye catching, with a sense of boldness and drama, if this is you don’t be afraid to go for colourful clothing. Not only will it warm your face and brighten your eye colour, it also portray confidence. Preppy girls usually have an upper class attitude with expensive clothing, and often wear block colours, sometimes paired with a blazer. If you like this style then at least put your own spin on it, try to own it don’t just copy it!

The definition of an Indie girl, is a very care free person who is not a dedicated follower of fashion trends. They wear what they want whether that be something from a vintage store or the high street. They do not obsess with designer labels. Makeup and hair is never perfect and has that “lived-in” look to it. This definitely an easy style to own.

Punks follow typical trends, but they are certainly the very bold and brave of fashion.
With colourful hair, piercing, and always interesting hairstyles, it cant be denied that these are confident people. Goths again are well known for their extreme style of very dark makeup and dramatic clothing . Gothic fashion has an eerie tone to it, and is certainly eye-catching!
Finally we come to the rock chick, again this is a typical style, that is easy to make your own. Leathers, sweat pants, maybe some boots? Its an easy style to work, you can wear a lot of makeup or very little its really your call.

If you ever wanted to jazz up your makeup regime perhaps you should take inspiration the likes of 1950s-60s makeup. This is a simple and chic look, but with that all desired drama!
Perhaps you could add that boldness with a simple bright lipstick?
Fashion is easily moulded, and you can do that yourself without “the latest trends”.
