Looking good and fashionable is as important as oxygen. In 2007, Flair helped readers to keep heads turning and a confidence that's a perfect match. Whether you believe a dress (or shirt) makes a woman or man (or the other way around), Flair's trend watchers kept you in the know and free from being prosecuted by the fashion police!

Here are some of the styles that were all the rave in 2007. Just a note for 2008: Keep these items towards the back of the closet and step out in more current pieces. But remember, fashion is a revolving wheel, so you may need to pull them out pretty soon.
