The fashion trends for Fall 2010 are filled with ruffles, jewel tones, animal print, gold, feathers and faux fur, mixed prints, leather jackets and chunky knits.<\/p>\n

On The Runway, designers show you how to wear the trends if you are model thin. These options often add volume to your body and make you look bigger. You don’t have to sacrifice your body for fashion. Everybody can wear every trend; however, the way you can wear it depends on your body type. Here are ways to them if you petite, plus size, or anything in between.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>
Animal Print<\/b> \u2013 Animal prints have multiple personalities. You can use it as an accents, neutrals, or use them to make a major statement. <\/p>\n

\u2022 <\/span>Mannequin \u2013 Petite \u2013 We mixed leopard and tortoise accents with black to give the outfit a little personality without overpowering a petite frame. <\/div>\n
\u2022 <\/span>Mannequin \u2013 Missy \u2013 Use the print to highlight the face and hips. We used the black cardigan to create a color block effect than narrows the waist.<\/div>\n
\u2022 <\/span>Mannequin \u2013 Women \u2013 Full figured women can make a bold statement. Layers create the illusion of a narrower figure.<\/div>\n

\"\"<\/a>
Ruffles<\/b> \u2013 On the runway, ruffles come in all sizes, shapes and materials. These work for models, but not so well if you have curves. Here\u2019s how to make ruffles work:<\/p>\n

\u2022 Model Amy – <\/span>Petite (ladies less than 5\u20194\u201d tall) \u2013 Keep the ruffles flat and small to they are in proportion with your frame. Ruffles work as trim or accents on necklines, sleeves and hems.<\/div>\n
\u2022 <\/span>Model Anicea – Missy (ladies size 0-16 and more than 5\u20195\u201d tall) \u2013 use big ruffles to accent your assets and flat or small ruffles on areas where you don\u2019t want to add much volume.<\/div>\n
\u2022 <\/span>Mannequin – Women (ladies size 14 \u2013 28+) \u2013 choose flat and stream-line ruffles to high-light your assets. Structured clothing works best to keep the body looking smooth.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>
Jewel Tones<\/b> \u2013 This is one of the easiest trends to wear. Add one jewel tone piece to a neutral outfit for a pop of color or mix several together for a bolder look.<\/div>\n

\u2022 <\/span>Mannequin – Petite \u2013 Voluminous clothing will make you look smaller and shorter. Choose clothing that is fitted and skims your body without gaping or pulling on a roll\/bulge. Mix jewel tones with dark neutrals for a taller, leaner look.<\/div>\n
\u2022 <\/span>Model Molly – Missy \u2013 Use jewel tones as a pop of color to direct attention to your assets and away from any flaws.<\/div>\n
\u2022 <\/span>Model Stephanie \u2013 Women \u2013 Black is slimming and so are all deep colors. Here we created a warmer monochromatic look with eggplant instead of black. Monochromatic outfits make you look taller which automatically makes you look slimmer. For example: a 150 pound woman who is 5-feet tall looks different than one who is 6-feet tall.<\/div>\n
