There are many fashion trends which make absolutely no sense. The emphasis on size zero and the tendency to have skinny and malnourished looking models as the ideal example of a model is harmful for your health in the long run.

There is nothing wrong with curves and a bit of fat on your body. The fact that the fashion industry follows such a harmful rule with blind fanaticism often makes people uncomfortable with the idea of fashion rules and trends. That is why many persons simply conclude that all fashion trends and rules are useless and waste of time.

Well, do not make the mistake of adopting the same extreme approach that the fashion industry adopts. While the fashion industry may not consider alternatives, you certainly can do so. If you are on the heavier side, wearing horizontal stripes is going to make you look heavier.

If you are comfortable with it or if you know that you will be appreciated even if you look a bit fat, you can go ahead and wear the same. However, if you are trying to present yourself as a fit and healthy individuals, horizontal stripes may just end up giving the opposite perception.

Again, choice of winter wear need not be made on the basis of horizontal or vertical stripes. Woolen clothes always tend to flare up once they are washed a few times. In any case, you wear woolen-wear over your daily normal clothes. Hence, you are going to look a bit heavy irrespective of whether you are wearing vertical or horizontal stripes.

Thinking of going in for very simple dresses? Try to get cheerful and pretty accessories. This is not applicable to women alone. If you prefer simple formal shirts and pants, try to invest in hair care, watches, and good belts. A fashionable pair of shoes can make you look smart and classy.
