Women's Fashion - Advice On Looking Good

By Mark Walters

With the constantly changing world of women's fashion, it can be difficult to judge what trends are current and which ones have become yesterday's news. If you're trying to decide how to update your stale wardrobe, you've come to the right place. We've compiled a list of the most fashionable trends in women's clothing that can benefit the closet of any lady.

Lace - The feminine sophistication of lace is used to adorn both women's clothing and our homes. Its intricate and layered design of lace often makes it a stunning show piece. Consider wearing an all-lace dress to your next evening function that calls for a touch of formal wear, such as the opening of an art exhibition. When paired with the sleek, smooth quality of leather (such as thigh-highs or a blazer), it can create a layered, stunning look. Lace accents can instantly bring your look into another realm as well - consider adorning your casual look with a lace scarf or shawl.

60s Dress Skirts - A retro look that has been updated for this year's fashion, the 60s dress skirt is a new spin on an exciting trend in women's fashion. While the modern dress skirt won't be as puffy as the styles from the 60s, the refined, sophisticated look of it will remain. You can stylize this look with a leather belt to add contrast and to break up any uniformity between your top and bottom. Alternatively, you can create a dress skirt look-alike based on what's already in your closet by combining a full-length skirt with a form-fitting top.

Knee-high Socks - These stylish accessories, when worn correctly, can make for a strong fashion statement. Functional in both warm and cold climates (select the right material for your location), knee-high socks can draw much attention to your legs if the rest of your look in not overwhelming. Combine these socks with leather boots and you'll be sure to make any look that shows off your legs a smashing hit.

Button-up Collars - Finally, a rather odd yet incredibly stylish trend this season is to take your button-up collared shirts to a more refined level - button them all the way up. No more relaxed, just-got-out-of-the-office look for you. This clean, sophisticated look portrays a sense of confidence that can be contrasted with something revealing to hint towards an edgy side - such as a miniskirt or high-cut shorts.

While these choices are a bit unconventional, they represent a new trend in fashion this season that should not go unnoticed. If you want to add some simple style to your look, consider these strong pieces and add them to your closet this season. You certainly won't regret it.
