Clothes top everyone's shopping list. But one should know what to shop for and where and when to shop for it. Good fashion demands a very simple thing from you and that is a very careful observation of those around you and a constant look out for what is being sold around, so that you never run out of choice and know what is in vogue.

Another very important thing with respect to clothes is that you should be willing to experiment. And that needs a lot of patience on your part. You should be ready to try out different combinations and fabrics to see if they suit you. If all this sounds a little difficult, let us make it simpler for you to choose your clothes. So let us know the current trends and fashions that are ruling the scene.

Denim as usual is not out of fashion. Deep and dark denim colors are currently doing the rounds. Besides the evergreen bootleg, skinny jeans are making their presence felt these days.

Even jackets of all kinds are a happening apparel to sport. They help you in making your wardrobe more vibrant and versatile. A top or a shirt can look very different when worn with a jacket. The jackets can be patterned, embroidered, of shapes that you like and that fit you well.

Silks, velvets and brocades for men are the new trend. Men wear them as much as women do. So men out there do not need to think hard when wearing these fabrics. Another must-have for men is the polo shirt. There is a lot of variety in them and so the monotony of a polo shirt is largely reduced due to these innovative design additions. Also non-pleated trousers are slowly making their way into the fashion scene.

Just as people are trying out new things, as in mix and match, the same trend has trickled down to colors. People are trying more bold colors and their combinations. The era of being conservative has been left behind and here comes one, wherein everyone wants to make a style statement of his or her own and colors are a great and easy way to do so. A bright color is no longer considered to be eye hitting but one that will stand out as unique and fashionable. So if you ever thought that that the bright red gown of yours was always too catchy to be worn, it is time to get it out and flaunt it. But that certainly does not mean that the sober colors are out of fashion. They are in too. Just that you should know how to handle and carry them.

And if you want to know what the ultimate fashion statement is, then you do not need to spend a dime or even go out shopping for that matter. Just peep into your own wardrobe. Take out that dress or trouser or shirt that you so liked but have now worn to death. And make it into a garment of your choice. Give it your own identity and make your own outfit. Just a stitch here and there or a cut here and there and there you have a new dress like no one in the town!

So go ahead and rack your brains, as you have the power to create your own fashion!
