There is some confusion about being trendy versus being fashion forward. Being trendy is not hard at all. Just follow the current trends and you will be considered trendy. For example, leggings are really "in" right now and have been in fashion for a while. You can find them anywhere from Neiman Marcus to Wal-Mart. They are ultra trendy.

Now being fashion forward takes a lot more effort. First let's start off with what most of us already do at least a couple of times a week, read magazines. Fashion and Gossip magazines are the best. Fashion magazines have designer ads for the next season, while gossip magazines have pictures of celebrities. Both will give you some insight to what's going to be the next hot thing. A good example are stirrup pant or stirrup legging. You don't see them in many stores but there are a few retailers such as American Apparel and Urban Outfitters that carry them, and celebrities Paris Hilton and Lindsay Lohan have been seen wearing them. So step into a pair of stirrups and dare to be fashion forward.
