The world around you pays attention when you look great. Looking great and drawing positive attention from people will leave you feeling great as well. Becoming fashionable is a way to improve your life. When you want to look the best you can, this article will tell you how.

|Spend your fashion money on basics. Buy pieces that complement each other and are timeless. Start with the classic look of a black pencil skirt and give it the look of today with a trend top or jacket.

|Belts can be a wonderful fashion accessory. Available in a wide array of fabrics and styles, belts offer endless opportunities to express your fashion style. Add a fluorescent, thin belt to your skinny jeans and be in fashion, or use a patent leather belt for a sophisticated look.

|You can have a dressy look by wearing black jeans and a nice blouse, with heels. If you're wearing the latest trend, colored jeans, it's best to go for a more casual look.

}{When you want to look slimmer, avoid stripes which run horizontally. These stripes will give the illusion of widening and this is not the look you want to achieve. Instead, wear a vertical stripe pattern that will make you look tall instead of wide.
