Fall is right around the corner and all of the fashion mags are full of great fall styles and trends. This weekend as I flipped through one of my favorite fashion mags I was struck by an article called “Fall Trends to Try.” I turned the pages with excitement and anticipation of all the great new things in store for fall. My excitement dwindled as I turned to a page that said “Try Pleated Pants.” For the record I will say that pleated pants have their place in the fashion world, but for most of us everyday fashionistas pleated pants are a trend we don’t need to try.
At least once a week during a closet edit I explain to clients why the pleated pant does not work for their body shape. Most pleated pants are accompanied by a tapered leg, which is even worse, but I digress. Pleats add fullness and volume to the front of a pant, therefore adding fullness and volume to you! Don’t be fooled by the pleated pant as a cover up for a mid-section you want to hide. Remember that pleats will just draw attention to the spot you want to camouflage.
This season stand strong against the allure of the pleated pant trend. Pick trends that compliment your personal style and can be incorporated into the wardrobe you already own.

More often than not, each piece of your brand image was created when you needed it, but not altogether in a strategic fashion. Your image may look fine, but does fine help you grow?
