Do you prefer clothes that go with the trend or do you buy clothes that goes with your figure or taste? Or both ? or you simply don’t bother about style or being in trend and just being comfortable to whatever you think suits you irregardless if it is on style or on trend?

I wear what I want to wear and what is comfortable. My sister is more the fashion person in our family. She has told me that when she is around, I am not allowed to wear stripes, especially not around. Up and down stripes are acceptable to her. I think she is just a bit bossy for 50 years old. Heee heee

Whats with the stripes that she hated it on you ?

A stripe print going around the body makes it look heavier. A stripe print running up and down (top to bottom) the body makes the body look longer and thinner. Since I am shorter and a little heavier, she was telling me that it did not enhance my body type. How's that for a nice way of saying that she thought it made me look heavier. I just called her a brat and wore what I wanted. We have a very open relationship and poke at each other verbally but it is all in fun. Hey we're all in our 50's - our beauty queen days are waning.LOL

Hi torchablazed! I am not much of a fashion diva and hardly follow the trends of the market. On tyhe contrary, it feels annoying to dress up and behave like the mass. I love to wear stuffs that helps me carry myself with ease and comfort. Being of short and chubby stature I have my own set rules, my fashion may be. I am particular on wearing certain stuffs that look good on me and that I am comfortable in.

Thanks Torcha! But I must also tell you that I really get nuts over choosing dress, shoes, etc. My mom had declined to accompany me to my shopping expeditions.

You have the best choice mimpi, the thing with wearing something you are comfortable with makes one at really at ease and you can do whatever you wanted to do. I love women who are chubby yet who know their ways of dressing that looks great on them. Thanks for dropping by !

For me to be comfortable is the best but you can be trendy with it, eg I love to wear jeans and jeans you can dress up or down and still be comfortable and stylish in them, obviously there are other clothes you can do that with too but I do like to be comfortable in what I am wearing...littleowl

i just have a little of everything. I don't like to be someone who you can "label". So sometimes i will sweat pants, other times i'll dress up, and other's i will just wear jeans and a hollister shirt. I just buy clothes that i like. If i like a new fashion then i might wear it occasionally, but i am not someone who will throw something out as soon as it is not the latest and greatest.

I can be both... I will consider first what will fit to my body as well as what I like and last thing I will consider is if it the trend this time....But, I will not be buying stuff just because of fashion even if I don't look good on it!

I have some clothing that is stylish in case I get a job, when I am working I wear classical styles that look good on me. Other than that, I don't go for trends, I think they're silly and they rarely turn into a style. Away from work, I dress for comfort and really don't care what anyone thinks.

I'm not one to dress trendy or stylish, like my cousin told me one time, she said that I have my own style, I don't know if thats good or not...lol. I just try to dress in clothes that are comfortable, I rarely dress up, I live in jeans and t-shirts, and in the summer shorts and t-shirts..ha.

I am not trendy perhaps. I don't wear all trendy clothes that do not suit my age and my appearance. I mean I am 52 and I don't think I'd look good in mini skirt. I could be fashionable without looking like trying hard. Ha!ha!ha! I love clothes and do buy a lot but I make sure I look pleasant and respectable. My 21 years old son is always my best critic. He'd tell me which one suits me best and which one is not and I really follow his advice. My hubby on the other hand always say yes you look good on that. It seems that everything I wear is good for him so I don't always trust him. I want some negative remarks sometimes. Ha!ha!ha!

I don't bother much about fashion. I wear what is comfortable to me. But, prefer simple, smart clothings without much taste of glamor. Well, my looks are simple too.

Hi torchablazed! I think I really go for the classic cut and design. I am not really that trendy but I know I have my own style which my friends and family say is classy and elegant. haha..I do go for simple yet elegant styles maybe because I am in my forties already and I have to act my age! LOL! I do however love seeing the young in their trendy and fashionable outfits but not too over decorated I hope! LOL! Take care and have a wonderful day! lovelots..faith

I am soo not a stylish person. My style is pure comfort and a bit boyish. that means just a plain jeans, tshirt, rubber shoes, a ponytail, and a backpack.^_^ Im not comfortable in fitting clothes and I love clothes that I can move around in. Well, to describe it my style is a bit of an 'on-the-go' feel, ready for anything, ready to go anywhere. As for accessories, I always have my watch, simple stud earrings(a girls of course,LOL), and a simple a bit of a tribal necklace. thats it.

Well I'm more of "Less is more" type of person, but I would still like to be stylish instead of being trendy. I'm not really a trendsetter. It's hard to be one. I am more of wife beater and low rise jeans type. I get stylish when I have to go to a special event, important hangouts, or if I'm on a date. Doesn't matter what you wear as long as you are comfortable with it.

Hello torchablazed! I am not a trendy person. I don't buy clothes because it's a new trend. I am too picky in terms of buying clothes. It took me one day to finally decide what to buy that's why when I buy my clothes, I don't want someone to tag along with me because I don't want to bore the person..hehehe

A day to decide ? Boy, that is too long enough for me.
