I live close to downtown Bethesda after living for many years in Paris and other European cities. Americans in general have a very casual sense of style, and Bethesda is no exception.

Fashion sense starts with knowing what cut of clothes will fit you, and what colors will enhance your skin tone. It also has everything to do with healthy skin and looking bright and cheerful. Real fashion is also not about fitting in against all odds, but expressing your personality through your clothes. Be well-dressed with a hint of originality. If you buy the common denominator, you will look common.

So the most important things have nothing to do with following trends. Figure out what shape you have. Show off one nice part of your body (legs with shorter skirts or leggings, waist with cinched clothing and coats, etc) and dress for the weather. You will appear to be fashionable if the clothes fit you well!

Brands are important because usually expensive and better made clothes last much longer and have more flair, so it makes sense to invest. But you don't need clothes with logos to look fashionable to others, quite the opposite.

Personally, on a middle class budget, I have found nice pieces from Anthropologie, Boden and J Crew (from most original to most conservative). Be careful with Anthro, they carry several brands that don't have the same sizing or quality. I don't like puffy coats and prefer wool duffels, but again, chose what makes you happy! For winter, a slim elegant ankle boot will go with everything. Mine are from Mephisto.
