Fit Is It When It Comes To Wearing The Hottest Trends (NAPSA)—A wardrobe is built layer by layer, starting at the foundation. However, a recent survey found that 70 percent of women start off their look with the wrong size bra. “The secret to wearing the latest trends and styles starts with fit,” says Stacy London, co-host of TLC’s “What Not To Wear.” “Following a trend doesn’t work if you go overboard and it certainly isn’t stylish if the clothing doesn’t fit properly.” Once women know which fit flatters them, they can incorporate clothes and trends that reflect personality, activities and lifestyle. Londonoffers the following tips to achieve a great fit: * Go pro. Get a professional bra fitting once a year, or more if you've recently lost or gained weight or had a baby. * Befriend your tailor. Hem pants or skirts that fall awkwardly for a more contemporary look. * Use what you’ve got. Find styles that flatter your body to accentuate the positive. * Express yourself. Have fun with fashion by using colors, fabries and embellishments. * When you change your clothes, change your undergarments. The shaping underwire bra that looks great under a tailored jacket may not be ideal for lounging around or an evening dinnerdate. Women choose bras based on occasions, indicating a workout session maycall for a different bra than a first date. For example, To find the best bras for you, get a professional brafitting once a year—more often if you lose or gain weight.
