Go for comfort than the trends. You should wear what you find comfortable, as long as it's decent, neat, appropriate and appealing. True, when you decide to follow the trends, you'll end up with a wardrobe full of clothes that will get or are even already outdated, because new trends will always come. Talk about the financial implications as well. You'll have to keep spending unnecessarily on clothes. It's good to like fashion, but it shouldn't define what you choose to wear and what you find comfortable. It shouldn't also gravely affect your finances.
