MY TIPS TO REMEMBER WHEN SHOPPING AND DRESSING FOR YOUR BODY SHAPE

Dress. For Yourself and NoBODY Else.

Embracing your Body -  Styling Tips

Feel confident, comfortable, and like your best self in every outfit.

1. You don’t need to change your body — just understand it.
Style is about working with your shape, not against it.

2. Start with what you love about yourself.
Highlight your favourite features. Whether it’s your neckline, waist, shoulders or legs — let them shine.

3. Fit is everything.
Clothes should skim and flatter — not pull, dig or restrict. When in doubt, size up and tailor down.

4. Balance is beautiful.
Create visual harmony by pairing fitted with flowy, structured with soft. It’s not about hiding — it’s about enhancing.

5. Choose comfort over rules.
If it feels good on your body, it will show in your confidence. That’s always more important than any trend or style guide.

6. Ditch “flattering” if it doesn’t feel like you.
You’re not dressing for approval — you’re dressing for you. Wear what makes you feel most like yourself.

7. Try before you decide.
Don’t judge a piece on the hanger. Let your body have the final say in the changeroom.

8. Invest in feel-good fabrics.
Look for pieces that move with you and feel luxe on the skin — cotton, linen, knits and quality stretch can make a big difference.

9. Cinch where you want shape, skim where you want flow.
Think wrap dresses, belted coats, high-rise pants, longline blazers — all great for defining your silhouette, if that’s what you love.

10. Your body isn’t the problem — the clothes are.
If it doesn’t fit you, it’s not a failure. It’s just not the right piece. Keep looking — the right one is out there.
