As your wardrobe adviser or "shopping friend", you can look forward to your new look and shopping trip with confidence. My goal is to make you look and feel fabulous and ensure your wardrobe is well co-ordinated and contains superior quality clothes and accessories. My promise to you is to make this whole adventure fun.
Are you the kind of person who watches the catwalks religiously and spends lots of money on what’s hot this season? Do you wear all your purchases or may I say investments. Your wardrobe is a reflection of who you are. However, if you spend lots on all those little catwalk numbers they are only going to be of any value to you if you wear them all. That Armani blouse, those Gucci shoes, even that Stella McCartney dress will only look great on you if you know what suits you.
Here are a few enhancing and minimising style tips to assist you on your next shopping adventure and always remember good grooming cannot be over emphasised here ladies. Don’t forget the detail such as nails on hands and feet, make up, hair & accessories.
Large Bust
You must have a well fitted bra as this can change the complete look. Keep all focus upwards by using jewellery and make–up if you are uncomfortably big on top. But if it’s just a style choice then chose v-necks and fabric that does not cling. Darker colours work better and vertical lines. Make sure your sleeve length does not directly sit in line with your bust as this will give the illusion you are heavier up top. Go for open collars as round necks that sit close to the throat will again emphasise the bust. Keep all detail to a minimum. Avoid ruffles at the bust.
Small Bust
Well you can have a ball on top ladies. You suit brighter colours, lots of detail like pockets, seems, ruffles, layers, cowl necks, polo necks ( if your neck isn’t too short ). Best avoid anything too low cut and clingy.
Large squared shoulders
Keep away from shoulder pads and chose set in sleeves and narrow straps. Keep jackets open and longer lapels. V-necks work well.
Small and sloping shoulders
Do wear shoulders pads and items with volume at the shoulders such as epaulets. Layers are good, such as a blouse with waist coat or tank top.
Long Neck
If you are lucky enough to have a long neck then you will suit polo necks. Have you ever put on a polo neck and watched your chin meet your chest. Yes, then you have a short neck. Long necks suit chokers, scarves, polo or turtle necks, hats with a brim and longer hairstyles shaped onto the neck.
Short Neck
If you have a short neck choose Chinese style collars, turned up open collars on shirts and jackets, v necks, brimless hats are all good for you. Choose a necklace that is 1½ times your face length and try flicked out hairstyles with layers, shorter styles are great.
