Miss Alabama, Alexa Jones
Confidence is always the most attractive item you can wear. Being comfortable in your own style and who you are is very alluring. It also doesn't hurt to wear a fabulous pair of shoes!

Miss Alaska, Rebecca Hayes
For a polished look, try to match a belt, earrings or purse with your outfit. This will tie everything together.

Miss Arizona, Aubrey Sibley
When in doubt, wear stilettos!

Miss Arkansas, Eudora Mosby
Just because a store carries it doesn't mean that all of us should wear it. Have common sense and realize everyone can't wear everything. Always choose the garment that compliments your body the best, and you will ALWAYS be fashionable.

Miss California, Dustin-Leigh Konzelman
A great pair of earrings can make any old outfit look snazzy!

Miss Colorado, Jessica Urban
I adore how sparkles, rhinestones and glitz have worked their way into current fashion. From jeans to shirts to jackets, adding a piece with some glam to your everyday outfits is a great way to make every day fun. For example, I love to wear jeans with rhinestone heels.

Miss Connecticut, Dianna M. Baitinger
Wear what looks good on you. Being trendy has a lot to do with knowing yourself and what styles or colors look good on you. Be yourself, wear what you love and you'll always look your best.

Miss Delaware, Becky Bledsoe
This year I have learned there are three must-have classic pieces to keep in your closet: the little black dress, the little black cardigan and the little black turtleneck.

Miss District of Columbia, Shannon Schambeau
You can look hip and contemporary on a shoestring budget by purchasing clothes that already go with things in your closet. Learn to coordinate your clothes properly and you can have many different outfits by just buying one or two blouses and a pair of pants.

Miss Florida, Mari Frances Wilensky
Dare to be different!

Miss Georgia, Monica Pang
To pull off a sophisticated, classy look, try simple, elegant clothing and use accessories to spice up the outfit. Busy patterns and very accented clothing can sometimes look cluttered and over-the-top.

Miss Hawaii, Malika Dudley
Look at the mannequins in your favorite store ... they draw you in for a reason :)

Miss Idaho, Tracey Brown
You don't have to spend a fortune to be stylish. Find your favorite looks from fashion magazines, but purchase the trendy pieces, which are quick to go out of style, at reasonably priced stores like Target or TJ Maxx.

Miss Illinois, Lauren Allen
To elongate one's silhouette, avoid tops and bottoms that are in high contrast colors (a white top and black pants, for example). It's better to choose similar colors in order to create an elongated look. For shoes, wear a gently pointed toe because it lengthens more than a rounded or square one.

Miss Indiana, Susan Guilkey
Designer jeans ... a must for your wardrobe. They are certainly worth the investment. The jeans that I like best are Citizens of Humanity and Seven for All Mankind.

Miss Iowa, Kay Pauszek
The color of your clothing should compliment your hair color and skin tone. Example, light blue clothing compliments women with blond and blue eyes.

Miss Kansas, Adrienne Rosel
Be a little different: design and taste make more of a statement than the brand name alone.

Miss Kentucky, Kerri Mitchell
Trends are fun, but fashion should be about what looks best on the individual.

Miss Louisiana, Molly Clare Causey
Always be comfortable and like what you're wearing. I always feel more relaxed and confident when I like what I have on.

Miss Maine, Megan Beals
Clothes should fit your body style and personality.

Miss Maryland, Rachel Ellsworth
The most important thing about fashion is to select clothes that depict your true personality. While staying with the latest fashion trends, always remember to stick with clothing that fits your body type and compliments your figure. Even something as simple as a pair of jeans with the right fit can make or break your outfit!

Miss Massachusetts, Kristin Michelle Gauvin
Since I am from the North, do not be afraid to wear hats, gloves, and scarves. They are not only useful (when it is freezing) but are also trendy and extremely fashionable!

Miss Michigan, Octavia Reese
Dress to fit your personality! Wear what you love, but remember that children often imitate what they see.

Miss Minnesota, Karyn Stordahl
Wear what you are comfortable and confident in because then you will carry yourself with confidence and that is what truly turns heads!

Miss Mississippi, Kristian Dambrino
Wear jeans. They never go out of style.

Miss Missouri, Stacie Cooley
Jewelry can make or break an outfit. Accessorize wisely!

Miss Montana, Sophia Steinbeisser
Always ask for a second opinion.

Miss Nebraska, Kelly Keiser
Classic black never goes out of style.

Miss Nevada, Crystal Wosik
Since I love shoes, wearing a pair of strappy shoes does wonders for dressing up a casual outfit!

Miss New Hampshire, Audra Paquette
Don't be afraid to accessorize. A great pair of earrings can pull together any outfit!

Miss New Jersey, Julie Robenhymer
Only wear clothes that look good on YOU. If it's in fashion but doesn't suit your body type DON'T BUY IT!

Miss New Mexico, Ane C. Romero
Never wait for a special day to dress up because every day is a special day to celebrate the wonderful you.

Miss New York, Kandice Pelletier
Wear what flatters you!

Miss North Carolina, Brooke Elizabeth McLaurin
Fashion is all about yourself, so wear what makes you feel good! When you feel good in what you are wearing, you will be confident and comfortable.

Miss North Dakota, Jacqueline Marie Johnson
Accessorizing is the key to creating a complete and unique outfit. Try adding a fun purse, some cute stilettos and funky jewelry to create a look all your own!

Miss Ohio, Marlia Fontaine
Build an outfit around one accessory. For instance, if there is a fun belt you just can't pass up, make that the excuse for finding the perfect pants, top, shoes, etc. to go with it!

Miss Oklahoma, Jennifer Berry
When you don't know what to wear, always lean towards the dressier side. Dress up rather than dress down. That way, you won't be underdressed, and you will always look great. The most important item for a girl to own is a black dress. It always makes you look and feel great whenever you wear it.

Miss Oregon, Lucy Fleck
Remember to look at yourself from head to toe, both front and back in the mirror one last time before ever going out in public to prevent any potential wardrobe embarrassments.

Miss Pennsylvania, Nicole Marie Brewer
Ignore trends if you STILL like the look! (i.e. my UGG boots) You're the one wearing it.

Miss Rhode Island, Jessica D. Samson
I like to buy new clothes all the time! But who can afford to do that? Well I've found a great way. At the beginning of every season, I go through my closet and take out the items that I would no longer wear and bring them to the local consignment shop. There's a really hip one in Newport, R.I., called Closet Revival. They sell my secondhand items and give me a percentage of the price, so that way I have some extra money to invest in the latest trends! I suggest finding a consignment shop in your area today.

Miss South Carolina, Erika Grace Powell
Wear clothing that leaves people remembering who you are, not what you wore.

Miss South Dakota, Nikki Grandpre
I have learned that the best way to get rid of pesky deodorant residue on clothing is to rub it off with a sock. Believe me, it works wonders!

Miss Tennessee, Tara Burns
Buy simple, classic pieces that will be your wardrobe staples. It's worth it to splurge on nice tailored shirts, jeans, and shoes ... then try sprucing up your look by adding one or two accessories that will make you stand out. Big earrings, scarves, hand bags, and belts are always fun for wardrobe experimentations.

Miss Texas, Morgan Matlock
Wear whatever you feel best reflects you. I don't think people should worry about what not to wear. If you're someone who is having a mixture-of-patterns sort of day, you go right ahead and wear those stripes with polka dots! I do feel, however, that people owe it to themselves to wear clothes that fit well. But within the realm of clothes that fit, anything goes.

Miss Utah, Julia Marie Bachison
Be original and be yourself. There is nothing worse than being a slave to a trend. When someone knows who they are and what they like and are comfortable portraying that, it's inspiring.

Miss Vermont, Megan Plebani
Always try to create a clean line with clothing and not over layer.

Miss Virgin Islands, Allison Bourne-Vanneck
Wear dangling earnings to enhance any outfit.

Miss Virginia, Kristi Lauren Glakas
Fashion's only concern is what is happening on runways. Style is the essence of who you are. It is uniquely your own -- cultivated and refined only by you.

Miss Washington, Tina Marie Mares
There are an array of colors, so don't be afraid to incorporate them into your wardrobe.

Miss West Virginia, Kimberly Goodwin
ACCESSORIZE! I love to wear accessories with every outfit. Even the littlest thing can make a big difference and complete your look -- everything from belts to earrings and broaches to bracelets!

Miss Wisconsin, Tracy Ann Gest
If you like what you wear and you wear it with a smile, you will set the trend! Be spontaneous and always try something new.

Miss Wyoming, Heather Jackelen
Jazz up a casual outfit with a blingin' B.B. Simon belt or Kippy's belt!
