True Style

By Lakyn

It’s easy to get overwhelmed by fashion these days, and even easier to lose yourself in the race toward becoming “stylish.” Fashion designer and personal stylist Lakyn Carlton, with her humorous but informative takes on everything from plaid to platforms, is here to help, not by telling you what to wear, but by informing you about fashion history, industry, and rules that are meant to be broken, in order to help you figure out what you want to wear.
