Welcome

Understanding your Body Shape is key to style. When you intrinsically know what works for you, what flatters you, what makes you feel good, you will enjoy wearing your clothes
and be more adventurous.

Today I want to give you some simple tips that will truly transform how you look and feel whatever your shape, size or age!!

Rectangle Body Shape.

You are straight up and down, same size top and bottom and don’t have curves.

1. A fitted blazer with strong shoulders will give the illusion of broad shoulders thus making your waist look smaller.

2. A belted jacket will create the same effect.

3. Tailored high waisted or wide leg trousers create volume around your hips and thighs.

4. Dresses that are fitted on top and Aline on the bottom create a beautiful curvy figure.

5. Colour blocking, small prints and silky blouses work perfectly on your shape.

6. Simplicity, clean lines and good structure is your best friend.

Bonus: You can wear most shapes top and bottom.

Pear Body Shape

You are smaller on top than bottom with voluptuous hips, thighs and bum.

1. Bring all the attention to your upper body by wearing eye-catching tops and design.

2. 3/4 length sleeves bring the eye to your small waist.

3. Sleeves with volume balance out the hips.

4. Fitted jackets with strong shoulders that fall just below the waist are very flattering.

5. Aline skirts and dresses work well on your figure as do body hugging.

6. Skinny jeans or a soft bootcut are best.

Bonus: Embellishment, high necks, puff sleeves and quirky designs work great on your upper body.
The Biggest mistake is pulling down tops over your hips hiding your small waist!!!

Strawberry/Apple Shape

You have a strong upper body with broad shoulders, large bust and slender hips, thighs and bum.

1. Opt for soft, floaty fabrics with v or cowl necks.

2. Drop sleeves or raglan work well to accommodate your bust.

3. Boxy long or double breasted jackets look great.

4. Straight or wide leg trousers are great for balancing your upper body.

5. Shift dresses below the knee showcase your great legs!!

6. Straight leg and slouchy boyfriend jeans are flattering.

Bonus: You carry full length dresses and coats well due to your broad shoulders.
The Biggest mistake is wearing skinny jeans, which emphasises your upper body.

Hourglass Shape

Your shoulders and hips are in line and you have a small waist and large bust.

1. Layering is a no no as it will hide your waist.

2. Scoop/square necklines are best.

3.Jackets that nip in at the waist and flair gently on the hip radiate elegance.

4. Pencil skirts in jersey fabrics that contour the body and feminine blouses.

5. Wrap dresses, belted dresses, wool dresses or empire lines that fit under the bust.

6. Block colours emphasise your curves.

Bonus: You already have the curves that other body shapes have to mimic.
Biggest mistake is wearing oversized, long length tops and large prints.

Oval Shape

You are fullest around your midsection.

1. Draw the eye up from your midsection with interesting cowl necklines and chunky colourful necklaces and earrings.

2. Elongate your body by wearing attractive long scarves.

3. Quality fabrics that support and contour your shape are key.

4. Tops with elasticated waistbands will disguise your tummy.

5. Open cuts, edge to edge jackets (no buttons), pea coats that come to mid thigh will streamline your figure.

6. Cocoon style dresses with scoop and square necklines minimise the bust area.

Bonus: Showing off your neckline, forearms and a little leg will make you longer and leaner.
The Biggest mistake is wearing tops that are too long and floaty, making your tummy look bigger.

Fashion is for everyone whether you’re a rectangle shape, like Victoria or an oval, like Oprah YOU CAN wear a stunning white trouser suit if you chose.

It’s knowing how!!!
