Trends are an opportunity to connect with the present, to experiment, and reinvent yourself.  But every trend does not flatter every person equally.  Below are my suggestions on what to wear by body type, complexion, and signature style.

    Outfits number one and three would look great with some combats, but since the outfits have green, I would go with a camel color or go traditional with black combat boots.
