Dress YOUR body

I am often asked what my top tip is for dressing your best, and I have to honestly say that I can't pin point just one specific tip, but one of the most important ones, for sure, is knowing how to dress YOUR body. In other words, dressing the body you have, not the one you wish you had. When you know your body and what does and does not work for your unique shape, it makes it so much easier to know which trends, fabrics, and cuts to buy. And more importantly, which ones to avoid.

Besides booking a consultation with an Image Consultant like myself, here are a few basic tips to get you started...

• if you don't want to add volume or fullness to an area, avoid bright colours/big and busy patterns
• accessorize according to your frame - large accessories for a larger frame, medium for medium, and smaller for small
• no matter what your size, fitted (not tight) clothing always looks best
