Try keeping up with what's coming out on the runways. You can also read magazines and newspapers to keep up with different trends. Also, many bloggers, models, and designers use Twitter and Instagram to share information about their favorite trends and sources of inspiration.

Pay attention to Fashion Week. In the fall, the runways will show the styles that will be sold for the next spring and summer, and in the spring, you'll have the fall shows. When you look over the styles from the shows, you'll be able to spot trends that will be big for the next season.

Question

I'm 11 years old. How can I follow fashion trends?

Community Answer

When you're following fashion trends, it can be frustrating if you don't have the time, money and opportunity to try out the latest fashions for yourself. Think of it this way - you have a great opportunity now to try out creative fashion options that older people with jobs and other commitments often can't! Using your favorite designers for inspiration, consider looking into thrift stores in your area to create unique looks. Remember, the style blogger Tavi Gevinson was about your age when she started her hit blog chronicling her fashion adventures. Good luck!

What skills are necessary for a successful fashion designer?

You have to have a sense of style and matching colors, know all the fashion trends, decide which ones are actually wearable and convey that to your actual work.

Question

How can I look pretty without looking like I am trying too hard?

Community Answer

Keep it simple, such as wearing a nice pair of skinny jeans and a cute belly top. A handbag would look nice.
