True, trends come and go. While it is always good to be current in fashion, it’s really not about what’s hot and new all the time, it’s about finding your own personal style. You don’t want to be that guy or girl that is walking around decked out in head to toe trends, dressed like a mennequin. Your personal style shows that you aren’t trying to hard… AKA a fashion victim.
Inject YOUR personality into your clothing choices and you will make a statement no matter what is on-trend for the season. Here are a few of our favourite trend setters and why we love them. They may not make the “it” list every day but each has a style that’s all their own.
Iris Apfel
She has long been a trend setter. Jet-setting all over the globe and picking up outrageous pieces to inject into her wardrobe. Daring, charismatic and fabulous! She had a whole exhibit at the MET in New York dedicated to her wardrobe. Now that shows a true fashion maven. You’ll recognize her by her signature round glasses.
Music icon and a fashion icon. This man has hit the mark when it comes to personal style. Rocker, edgy, bohemian and sophisticated. He can pull of any look and damn good every time. Think about using scarves, necklaces and other cool accessories.
Kelly Osborne
We love that she is always doing something surprising. She has really mastered the mix of high/low, dressy/casual, bohemian/sparkly. She hasn’t always hit the fashion mark, but made a statement with her look and that’s why we love her. Think about going to many stores and mixing high-low. Layer!
Johnny Depp
A man after our own hearts… A good fashion accessory. He continues to make scarf and hat-wearing fashionable and chic . His eclectic style sets him apart from everyone else. And the fact that he doesn’t really follow trends, makes him that much more appealing. We love hat-wearers, just make sure you have good ones, and don’t over-wear them.
